So sorry for the late reply. It is summertime and been out and about and soon to leave for Maritime Canada to visit in-laws. Will probably catch up on posting all around my web circle then because it is sit around a lot and gab or just hang out. More on the machete.
It is sleeker with no...
I don't really hike. I wander the woods down here in East Texas. I don't have a favorite carry. Guess it depends on where I plan on going. Since snakes are my usual problem but I can run into vermin like hogs, coyotes, or feral dogs. Usually I walk with my SP 101 .22LR. If It'll be...
Don't really get that fix.
I shoot a lot off the bench. Have my own range here. Do I carry my Rem. 7600/760 to the bench? No. That's not what they are designed for. I have shot them off the bench but again, they are a field/hunting rifle. Your assumption that I don't shoot a lot shows a...
I bought my first pump 7600 .270 in the early 1980's. Being a duck hunter and an 870 Wingmaster fan I naturally went with the pump. Very natural and comfortable to shoot. Before that I had hunted with a lever 30/30 Marlin and though I love levers there is no comparison to the fluidity of...
Harris County and Houston city governments are pretty radical Dems. Not friends of the NRA.
I live about 90 miles NE of Htown. Despite the sprawl it's not a bad place but then with my county < 20K in population it's a change of pace when we visit.
I guess a lot depends on where I'm hunting.
If anywhere in North America then my choices are: .22WMR ... I like my Ruger American but would go for the newer stainless configuration. Of course the venerable 30-06 ... I like my Tikka t3. I think I could mostly cover all scenarios with these 2...
In my part of Texas .22LR is pretty available most of the time. I've even been getting quite a bit of my favored CCI .22WMR 40gr. HP ... at the local Wal Marx and Academy.
I have teens also. They are very familiar with our weaponry and know the safe combination. Mostly firearms are always kept in the master bedroom. A couple of the known types to answer an emergent threat are very easy to get to but other than a .22 mag carbine near the back door the arsenal is...
This was such a good thread and makes me sorry I don't ever come over to the hunting thread.
I grew up hunting squirrels in the Big Thicket area of East Texas with my grandfather. We mostly hunted with a dog. This is where I learned staunch gun safety as we'd have a group (usually 3 men and...
Mentioned once in this thread so I'll second the Tikka T3 Lite . I'd even go SS.
Another good choice and very accurate rifle would be T/C Venture.
Both of these rifles can be had NIB for around $600. There are some pretty good glass choices for under $300 and I'd start with a VX I...
