Great looking set up @Fat Bastard
‘Found me a snake wheel gun at a pawn shop the other day. King Cobra 357. It’s one of the new Colt builds, not the older version.
Thanks for pointers. Brisket deer still has an athletic look, seems like Cajun’s deer has a less defined frame or losing frame to age. Maybe it’s the light/shadow on his face. Cajun’s deer is standing more at an angle too, makes it harder to see his belly. Always appreciate the responses, helps me get better.
Champ Kind thought he was a bbq savant, which he wasn’t! Hope he isn’t fucking up a restaurant in NM that I like to patronize. I will be in Santa Fe in a few weeks, hope he’s not there. Be curious if he’s trying to put a Q place there or if he jumped ship on the restaurant biz altogether.

I’m in Amarillo, have a local processor that has them in the frozen section. He didn’t used to keep them available but you could call and request they hold you one. They are popular enough now he keeps them on hand. Each steer only has one of these. Yes, you need to cut it in half length wise to remove the gristle or whatever.
Any hangar steak fans? I love steak frites but I’m trying to lose weight so we just had steak san frites, I miss the frites. Anyway, found me a hangar steak, or butcher steak as it’s also known. Just salt, pepper and a little garlic powder and it was fantastic.
Thank you both and I really appreciate the info. Here’s my deal. I’m more of a bow hunter and don’t use a rifle very often but do like buying them. I have twin boys and actually bought this Sako 243 for one of them. They really never got excited or showed an interest in the sport. The Sako has no sentimental value to me at all, it just hangs out in the safe. Overall the finish isn’t bad, has those typical light scratches in the varnish or whatever the top coat is plus minor little dings. If it had been handed down from family, I would even consider changing the finish. I do have a new Sako and really like the oil rubbed finish over the glossy type finish and was just curious about the long term consequences of doing such. Even if I do change the finish, it will still just hang in the safe. Thanks again!
You mean deer don’t have a preference on a pretty vs dinged up stock
Cant tell by your response if you are saying leave it as is dings and all, who cares about the usage scars or appearance doesn’t matter one way or the other do what you want. Thanks for the reply.
I have a couple Sako bolt actions. One is an older Bofors 243. The stock needs a little work but have hesitated stripping it down not knowing if that has a huge depreciation tag that comes with it. I never plan on selling it so not sure why resale value matters. What is your thought? Any and all of you gun dudes feel free to chime in.
