    Skinner front sight height for Marlin 1894

    I had the Skinner sight on a Henry 44 mag, I used their brass front sight. I put the peep in the middle of it’s adjustment range and filed the front sight down until it was hitting where I wanted it.

    New Beretta BRX1 rifle introduced

    Received an email today about the new Beretta rifle, looks pretty interesting. Straight pull with supposedly easy caliber changes with a barrel and bolt head swap. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/brx1-black-FA0112 I’d like to see one in person, hopefully they come out with more calibers...

    Kimber K6 lightweight announced

    Looks like it officially released, received an email yesterday. It really does have me tempted, I’ve wanted one of the original versions for a while this might push me over the edge https://www.kimberamerica.com/k6xs-38-spl?_kx=h_eHuFG4A9DLVwgwMvWjpsHxS2zxOjiY-1ejgIw1uoY%3D.VwcpYE

    Ruger Super Wrangler

    I wonder how many Single Sixes they actually sell in a year given the price they ask for them. I’d bet they either go away or become a limited run offering. They’re a quality 22 but they can’t be selling a lot of them.

    Quality alternatives to an LCP?

    You might look into the Seecamp 380, I’ve never owned one but have heard they are about as good as it gets for a micro 380

    Upgrade from 30-06 or use what I have

    I fully understand a lot of practice is needed for a 500 yard shot, and hopefully a long shot is not needed. I plan on putting in a lot of practice between now and my next hunt which probably will not be for a couple of years. It sounds like my 30-06 is enough rifle. I bought it several years...

    Upgrade from 30-06 or use what I have

    I agree that closer is better and it is hunting, not target shooting. At home I’m successful every year with whitetail with both a 44 mag Henry and a 44 mag SRH revolver with shots rarely over 100 yards. On the flip side when I travel over 10 hours and spend thousands on an elk hunt in...

    Upgrade from 30-06 or use what I have

    I’m not looking for a magic solution, I stated I’ve found a range relatively close that will allow me to practice at 500 where I wasn’t able to before this hunt. My question is would I be better off with a rifle that will carry more energy at longer range with less drop or is the consensus the...

    Upgrade from 30-06 or use what I have

    I went on a Colorado elk hunt last fall, saw plenty of elk but didn’t get the opportunity to bring one home. Only good shot I had was at a bull at 500 yards. I passed on it since I wasn’t comfortable shooting at that distance and there was no way to get closer. I have found a range semi local to...

    Gun Podcasts

    I really enjoy Hornady’s podcast, they’ve been doing a deep dive into ballistics. It obviously has a slant towards their products but they definitely give a lot of general information as well.

    Who hunts big game with a 44mag

    I’ve hunted Iowa whitetail with my 44 mag SRH every year for probably 10 years, haven’t come home empty handed yet. I practice a lot and am confident to 100 yards, this year’s was taken at 120 yards. 240 gr XTP over H110 gets it done.

    Walther P99 Final Edition

    Received an email from Walther today, looks like they are discontinuing the P99 and are releasing a final edition. It’s one auto loader I’ve always wanted to try out but never have. Honestly I thought it was already discontinued but nice seeing they are giving it a nice send off...

    Are Savage 1911s made by Savage?

    According to the Guns and Ammo article I just read today the frame is made by someone else, the slide and barrel are made by Savage, a lot of the small parts are made by EGW, all assembled by Savage.

    Ruger SRH 10mm

    Here’s my 44 mag SRH with the Ultradot 25 in the factory Ruger rings. The Ultradot works great, I just took a doe at 120 yards with it last weekend
