Harold Johnson Winchester 71 50 Alaskan

A custom built lever action by renowned Alaskan gunsmith Harold Johnson, who invented the 50 Alaskan caliber. This is a Winchester Model 71 in which he added a 50 caliber barrel and custom made handguard. Very rare to find one of his builds for sale, I believe Mr. Johnson has since passed away since he developed the cartridge back in the 1950’s. Other gunsmiths do offer conversions but none like this. 50 Alaskan was designed to bring down bears and other large North American game.

This is probably the coolest fucking lever action I have ever laid eyes upon.

Salt Lake Tribune Endorsement: Barack Obama For President

In considering which candidate to endorse, The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board had hoped that Romney would exhibit the same talents for organization, pragmatic problem solving and inspired leadership that he displayed here more than a decade ago. Instead, we have watched him morph into a friend of the far right, then tack toward the center with breathtaking aplomb. Through a pair of presidential debates, Romney’s domestic agenda remains bereft of detail and worthy of mistrust.

Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first.

Happy Birthday Bela Lugosi (Oct 20, 1882 ~ Aug 16, 1956)

Do you think it’s fair that the Waltons control 40% of the wealth in America, earn BILLIONS, and yet they pay their employees slave wages and don’t employ them full time so they are not eligible for health insurance?

Reblogged for commentary, tremendous wealth made even more so by not providing their employees with a liveable wage.
