    Deer scents?

    i never could get the scent thing to work w/ me, so i opted to learn how to still hunt and that has been working well for me. about like scents though... if done wrong, doesn't work.

    .300 win-mag light loads

    h-4895 and 130-150 grain bullets. i think i started at about 35 grains w/ a mag primer and kept going up until i got to 30-30 performance for my daughter; probably ended up around 45 grains or so. i kept bumping the load until we got to 300 savage, and it sits there now. i wouldn't worry...

    Need help with Remington 700 decisions

    if you won't shoot past 500 yards, you'll be fine w/ the 9-twist ar and 69 grain bullets. also, since 500 yards is the limit, no need to sweat a 10 vs 12 twist on the 308. i run 168 hornady a-max in my 12-twist 308 and it will go 1000 yards. never tried 175's in it because the 168 loads shoot...

    Need help with Remington 700 decisions

    tony - at the prices you have mentioned, i'd pass on this. if you can find a way to trim $100 from the action and $100 from the krieger i think you've got something to work with. krieger barrels are good - i run a couple on my ar's - but they aren't the only game. the factory ltr barrels are...

    ted nugent's camp

    from my understanding the camp is conducted in different towns and states. it came thru here via the nfaa (national field archery association), so i would refer you to bruce cull (president of the nfaa): archery AT iw.net . Also check their website.

    ted nugent's camp

    my daughter went to ted nugent's 'kamp for kids' yesterday; it is a 1-day expo designed to introduce youth (8-18 years) to some outdoors activities. my daughter spent the day covering: air rifles (she hit all her targets), 22's, slingshots, shotguns (she missed all her pigeons), 3-d archery...

    Pheasant Hunting

    hunting without a dog will make it tougher, but i spent my first couple of years as a pheasant hunter without a dog. i had to hunt longer than the guys that had dogs, but i still got birds. agree on the vest suggestion - that is essential gear. pheasants aren't that hard to hit or kill. i...

    AR-15, heavy barrel, quick sight recovery

    not sure what your expectations are for the amount of jump. a bull barrel won't jump as much as a lighter barrel, but it is still going to jump off the target. for shooting only to 300 yards i'd suggest you get into a tight sling position. that will really suck up the movement, and if you are in...

    Do I need a .243?

    243 is a little overbore and a bit of a barrel burner, but who cares? few people shoot enough to shoot one out, so what's it matter...? if you blow out a barrel you should wear it as a badge of honor! i have a 7 rem mag that is on its 3rd barrel... i am proud of that. i have an ar-15 that should...

    Leupold Question

    you will not go wrong by having nice glass. that said, at some point you have to decide when to stop spending money. i think the vx-2 is enough scope for any legal big game hunting anywhere in my state (half hour before/after sunrise/set). so if you are asking from a minimalist...

    Duplex vs BDC vs Turrets

    how far are you killing deer? how about if you just went w/ good glass and a standard duplex reticle, and just run a 250-300 yard zero? no holdover necessary until you get beyond 350 yards, and mid-range is low enough that you shouldn't be shooting over a deer's back.

    beretta 92 brigadier

    thanks for the information! and now that begs the question: what is the difference between a brigadier and an elite? obviously i know very little about berettas, so appreciate the help.

    beretta 92 brigadier

    what can you tell me about the beretta 92 brigadier? like? don't? why? do regular 92 grips and magazines fit? is this a suitable gun for gun games/competitive shooting? i'm thinking specifically of run-n'-gun ipsc games and maybe bullseye shooting? is the gun strong enough to handle...

    Nickle Plate versus Brass??

    i don't like nickel because it sizes and trims harder than yellow brass. if you size a nickel case and size a brass case right behind it, you can certainly feel a tremendous difference - especially in non-carbide dies and bottleneck dies. you will also note a difference in trimming the cases -...

    Throat Erosion and Accuracy

    ^ agree. don't worry about it. very few people will legitimately shoot a barrel out of your average deer rifle anyway.

    component sourcing

    bass pro site doesn't even list 41 cal, and if you click on the actual bullet for cabela's you'll see backorder. thanks anyway, fellas.

    Should you get this one or that one? ...or does it end up being both?

    i have enough rifles and have shot enough rifles to know exactly what i like. it is a very rare occasion that i even debate a rifle purchase.

    component sourcing

    all 5 of those are out as well... i guess it must be a manufacturer issue.
