    Grizzly Bear shot and killed with a .45 auto

    According to a study by the U.S. fish and wildlife and a few park rangers ive talked with, bear spray is more effective than a firearm for deterring a bear attack. http://www.udap.com/bearnews.pdf Although if I was going into the Alaskan bush, I would still want a firearm with me in addition...

    Do any of you have a 22 you DON'T clean?

    I stopped cleaning the bores of my .22lr's altogether. Ive been told that over-cleaning will wear out the bore faster than shooting ever will. On my bolt actions I just wipe down the bolt, chamber face, and exterior surfaces every once in awhile with a little CLP. However on my semi autos I...
