    Wind observation and hanging a ribbon

    Bright colored yarn, same kind grandma used to stitch socks and sweaters. Red or orange works best. Tie a 4 or 5 ft. strip to your car antenna if you're parked nearby.

    Are many people more interested in how their gun looks than how it functions

    Whatever blows your dress up I suppose. Life is short, enjoy it.

    Cleaning your rifle: Advice wanted

    Regarding this topic, there are more variations than you can shake a stick at. Many ways to do it right and many ways to screw it up. My guess is that the Marines emphasized the one directional approach to avoid changing directions mid way (which can really be a pia). I personally find clp's...

    New Stick - Ruger Gunsite Scout

    Congratulations, she's beautiful. Lots to be said for a laminate stock. Black laminate only adds to its character. No doubt choices are limited for us lefties, but you picked a sweet one.

    Thoughts on particular .22 LR ammo

    I like using subsonics when squirrel hunting. Won't scare the bejeebers out of every living creature within 200 yds and gives me a shot at multiple targets from the same location. Have had good results with Aguila and CCI. I'm a stickler for cleaning after every use. Don't know what...

    I give up! What does that mean?

    Lever 22s

    Henry H001T Frontier is a step up from the base model. Has a heavy Octagon barrel, still pretty light at 6.25 lbs. but has a more substantial feel. Gets pretty good reviews. If you get the 39A get ready to do a good bit of tweeking. Everything from light strikes to extraction issues.

    Lever action carry

    I don't think it's a stretch to say Cooper knows better, but in this case, no doubt he takes his council from his lawyers. Considering the times, can't say I blame him.

    770 or american

    The Remington has a little bit shorter bolt throw. Also, in 308 it's a good 2 lbs heavier. Can anyone shed some light on that other than it might include the packaged scope? Regarding the American, can anyone confirm that the short action is a "true" short action, or is it the...

    Hunting with 30-30 at 500 yards?

    1926! Most hunters didn't have so much as a monthly periodical subscription let alone internet access providing information to tables and charts. I would venture to guess a rather large contingent of readers had never laid eyes on a ballistics chart before seeing this ad. At first glance it...

    thoughts on my first rifle

    If your only aversion to bolt actions is that there are few lefties available, here are a few you might want to consider: Savage Mod 16 & Mod 11, Remington 700 series, Ruger M77 Hawkeye, and Tikka T3. I believe the Winchester Mod 70 Featherweight is also available in left hand and would make...

    Trophies on the wall

    Do you keep a picture of your kids in your wallet because you might forget what they look like? Of course not. You pull em out now and then, take a look, smile and feel warm and cozy all over. Does honor have anything to do with it? Uuugh, whatever!

    Losing desire to hunt

    Losing a dog can be tough, almost as bad as losing a human, not an easy thing. Sounds like you just have other things going on in your life right now. Things that require your attention. Don't look at it as a negative. Could just mean you're learning and growing and putting your focus on new...

    Trophies on the wall

    I suppose people like to mount trophies for the same reasons they take and keep photographs. Memories are more enhanced by the mount because it appears in 3 dimensional form and can be touched and felt. Certainly nothing to get bent out of shape about.

    Wanting a new rifle (and caliber)

    That distinction would go to the .22LR.
