    Winchester Model 94.. Is this a good deal?

    Hey guys, my father knows a guy who is offering to sell him his Winchester Model 94 Ranger 30-30 which he claims has been shot less than 20 times. Neither my father nor I have seen the rifle yet, but he says it is in like new condition. I do not know much about lever action rifles, but he...

    Most accurate out the box rifle, under $1000

    My Ruger American has been one of the most accurate rifles I have ever shot. You also cannot go wrong with a weatherby vanguard s2 or tikka t3. I would personally stay away from remingtons, just my experience though. Best of luck

    Advice on deer hunting... Flashlight or not?

    Thanks for all of the replies guys, Ill continue to leave extra early with a light and get to the stand early enough to let the woods settle down before shooting light, but I'll make sure to use common sense and not be waving it around or anything. I also think it's interesting about the green...

    Advice on deer hunting... Flashlight or not?

    Hey guys, so I'm relatively new to deer hunting (gone hunting as much as Ive been able to the last 2 seasons but have only killed 1 deer) and was looking for some advice from all of you experienced whitetail hunters out there...

    Ruger American 308 Compact

    That's a beautiful rifle. I have the American in 7mm08 and I love it. I'm extremely accurate with it and recoil is never an issue. My dad has a weatherby 7mm08 with a Swarovski scope and I'm more accurate with my ruger American with a redfield

    Help choosing gun for concealed carry

    Hey guys, I am getting my CWP soon so I'm looking at buying my first handgun. I have never really been into handguns, just hunting rifles, but I've been trying to decide on a gun specifically to conceal carry. After everything I have heard about glocks, my initial thought was a glock 43. I have...

    Any unhappy Ruger American owners?

    We have 2 Ruger Americans in the family, one in 308 and one in 7mm08. They are both great rifles and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Specifically, the 7mm08 is my favorite cartridge and hunting rifle. Its extremely accurate, doesn't recoil much, and will drop any animal I would be shooting...

    Savage Axis .308 package

    I had the same combo but in 30-06. I've heard many good things about the axis for being how inexpensive they are, but I was never accurate with it. In fact, I could barely hit the target at a hundred years. My father and uncle were no better than me, and they both have many years of shooting...

    Waccamaw Hunting Lodge in South Carolina

    Hey guys, I am looking to book a hunt at a camp/outfitter in South Carolina this next deer season. Has anyone ever hunted at Waccamaw Hunting Lodge or had any personal experiences? I am interested in them because they are pretty much the only outfitter in SC that I have consistently heard good...

    Ways to reduce recoil for a hunting rifle?

    I have definitely been leaning into the gun at the bench every time I shoot it when I'm not hunting, I'll try to fix that. Never even thought of that, thanks guys! Also, I haven't wanted a muzzle break because I have heard they are absolutely killer on the ears. Never shot a gun with a muzzle...

    Ways to reduce recoil for a hunting rifle?

    I have been shooting 150 grain hornady SST, but I have been thinking about trying some of the reduced recoil loads in 125 grain (haven't shot any yet though). Also, a past recoil shield looks like a great option, I might invest in one and wear it under my clothing at the bench and while hunting.

    Ways to reduce recoil for a hunting rifle?

    Hey guys, I have a savage axis II 30-06 that I hunt deer and hogs with. Being a very light gun, it has a pretty strong kick and I was wondering what I could do to reduce the recoil some. I DO NOT want a muzzle break, and have heard that limbsaver pads work well but I haven't found one to fit a...

    30-06 Reduced Recoil ammo vs. 243 for deer

    Hey guys, I have a savage axis II in 30-06 that I use to hunt whitetails. I usually use 150 grain hornady superformance SST ammo, but I have been thinking about trying out hornady custom lite or Remington managed recoil ammo, both 125 grain bullets. Has anyone had any experiences with either of...
