    No RESIDENT NV Tags Again

    Move to the SE. Georgia has a 12 deer limit with over-the-counter tags. Two must be bucks and one of the 2 has to meet antler restrictions. The rest must be does. If you hunt on most WMA's and kill something it doesn't count against your 12 deer limit. Archery season starts mid-September...

    Inexpensive O/U

    I don't know much about O/U and SXS shotguns anymore. I used to keep up with them and I've tried some of the moderately priced ones with disappointing results. There was a time when I wanted a double, but I finally decided I'd much rather have a quality semi-auto than a cheap double...

    Tikka T3X CTR, 24" and Savage Model 12 LRP, Both in 6.5 Creed

    I've owned a lot of rifles in the last 50 years. Tikka has won me over. I don't NEED another rifle, but if I did Tikka is the 1st one I'd consider. I acknowledge that Savage builds an accurate rifle. No disputing that. But I just can't like the design. I've had a couple over the years and...

    US Cartridge 9mm hollow points: Any knowledge about it?

    I did a little google research and found no negative reviews. At that price I'd give it a try.

    Most rust resistant handgun?

    If there is anything better than a Glock I've not seen it.

    Looked at the New Ruger American II YUCK!

    Technically 1987-1991 F150's are considered Gen 8 trucks. 2015-2020 F150's are gen 13. It took me a while to warm up to DBM bolt rifles. But IMO the benefits outweigh the negatives, and it has almost nothing to do with mag capacity nor being able to reload faster. Although that is a small...

    Light Triggers for Light Rifles

    To a point I agree. But regardless of the rifle weight I like a 3 lb or less trigger pull. I used to own a Kimber Montana that weighed under 6 lbs scoped. The trigger was 4 lbs plus when I got it and when shooting from a bench you could feel the rifle move as you put 4 lbs of pressure on...

    Seekins, Browning or Bergara?

    What marketing? There never was any. This is one of those cartridges where shooters approached Hornady and gave them the specifics of what they wanted and Hornady made it. Unlike many cartridges that are developed by rifle and ammunition companies who tell us why we need it. I bought one...

    As a private party, can I still mail a long gun via USPS?

    As far as I know you can mail a long gun to a FFL. But not to a non-FFL. I've done so in the past, but it has been several years.

    The classic "Hardware" double barrel

    A lot of them were made by the Crescent Firearms Company and given many different names. A little history https://www.shotgunlife.com/briefs/the-legacy-of-crescent-firearms-shotguns.html I have one branded as the "Bridge" firearms company which was made by Crescent. Apparently made between...

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    These guys have been compiling data for several years and updating their website occasionally. They are up to 170 confirmed bear encounters where guns were used in self defense. The data says it doesn't matter. 98% of the time ANY handgun stopped the attack. Cartridges included 22, 380, 38...

    Home Defense Shot Size

    I'd take it back and swap it. Some stores won't take back ammo, some will. If they won't I'd try to sell it to a waterfowl hunter. IMO buckshot is what you want. Exactly which can be debated and some tasks are better suited for 00 Buck and others will be better with #4 Buck. But I want...

    Seems logical, maybe?

    In my very limited experience RN or pointed bullets in a speed loader USUALLY load faster. Most of the time it didn't make any difference. But the flat nose bullets were more likely to hang up and slow down the process. It might only happen once in every 4-5 reloads. I also think flat nose...

    New to 6.5 Creedmoor

    A 139-147 gr bullet and a near max charge of H4350 just plain works. I've gotten nearly the same results with 143 and 147 gr Hornady ELD bullets, 140 gr Barnes Matchburners and 139 gr Lapua Scenar's. I like the Scenar's a little better. I only have a handful of the others already loaded...

    Are you "brand loyal"?

    Once I find something that works I tend to stick with it.

    Swiss Army...tool

    I wonder if even those would be OK with TSA. The other "tools" could be used as a weapon.

    Interesting detail on Mora sheath - button hanger update

    I've seen photos of 2 sheaths clipped together using that. Never thought about hanging it on a shirt button.

    Largest caliber you own?

    It is. I've owned 3 different Marlin 45-70 dating back to the 1970's. I had a 1st year production 1895 right after Marlin reintroduced them in the early 70's. A standard 22" pistol gripped gun and a Guide gun. I sold the last one about 10 years ago. Black Powder equivalent 45-70 loads are...

    6mm creedmore

    If I were buying a new rifle and had to pick between the 2 I'd take the 6mm CM every time. If I had a 243 that I liked it would be a tough choice. It's not just bullet weight, but bullet length. A 100 gr hunting bullet will be a lot shorter than a 100 gr high BC target bullet. The longer...

    Im going to learn to use a red dot on my pistol.

    I tried 3 different tube type dot sights on rifles and was never satisfied with them, granted none were high end. A Vortex SPARC was the most expensive. I have a Sig M18 with the cut for an optic and decided to try a bit better quality optic and bought a Holosun 507 for it. I found my...
