    Wondering if I got this hunting rifle thing backwards???

    Sako = excellent hunting rifle. 6.5x55 = excellent hunting caliber. Keep it and hunt! I shoot my CZ452 and Ruger MK3 Target much more than my hunting rifle. Just because I like to plink and hunt small game. I do have a Rem 700 in 22-250 for varmints and predators. I do believe you are over...

    Winchester Scope

    Got a Winchester 1100 springer and came with a Winchester marked scope. I wonder if the thing will hold up or self destruct after a tin of pellets are run through it. Powerful little beast it is!

    About that CVA Mountain Rifle....

    More pics. He had upholstery tacks in it. I found some pure brass escutcheon tacks. Low profile and gives it the personal touch I was looking for.

    How fast can you run your pump shotgun?

    One may appreciate accurate rapid cycling of a pump if they have dealt with large bears, a charging wild boar at close range hell bent in doing you great harm. I don't know of any guides who choose a single shot or even a double barrel over a pump while guiding in such country. Could be some...

    Smokeless Powder Muzzle Loaders

    and as we reach for ever more efficient ways to kill our game the seasons become divided and opportunities shrink. Our resources for hunting are finite and as technology increases the resources decrease. In our state we no longer have a muzzleloader season or areas. You just load up and hunt...

    Slick out there...be careful!

    Been below zero every night for at least the last 2 weeks. Haven't seen a day above melting point for some time. Lots of ice around. I fell on the ice emptying the garbage just about 2 weeks ago. It is only 3 steps outside the garage! Hit so hard I thought I tore the suture where my feed tube...

    Ordering from Deer Creek?

    Emailed them twice but never got an answer back. Just not sure how to go about getting what I need from them. At least they finally got their web pages up and running again.

    Ordering from Deer Creek?

    Being that the Deer Creek website is an unsecured website how does one go about ordering from them? Transferring data on an unsecured website is not a good nor recommended action. Every time I call I get a busy signal. What do YOU do?

    Coyote rifle cartriges

    Never found 110grainers to be very accurate compared with other bullets from the factory and I have been shooting an '06 since my 16th birthday 45 years ago. My go to yote and all around varmint rifle is a Rem 700 sporter weight in 22-250 with a 55 grn VMax. 6-24 Bushnell scope. Combination is...

    Coyote rifle cartriges

    125 grain factory loads in the 30-06 will get it done and then some. Just don't expect to be saving the hides. They will be damaged enough to become nearly worthless.

    Hi-Point 45...

    My son had a HiPoint in 45acp. It was reliable, accurate and little recoil (they are heavy) Never a misfeed or jam. He was talked into getting something "better". Took him over a year to find something he could afford (money doesn't grow on trees for most of us no matter how many posters tell...

    The Revenant

    Wasn't too bad a movie. Entertaining to me but then I didn't watch it as if it was a highly researched documentary. JJ and Mountain Men got old after the 4th time I watched em. Entertaining for the 1st couple times but after that they were pretty goofy.

    What smaller caliber do you recommend for predators to prairie dogs

    A true varmint/predator rifle is not a 1000yd rifle. A 1000yd rifle is way over kill for shooting varmints/predators. Long range varmint rifle for me is the 22-250. The Swift is a good one as well. .224 Weatherby if you can find one. Under 400 yds the 223/5.56. Cheap to shoot, accurate and ammo...

    Cane As Weapon: Optimal Diameters & Weights ?

    Mine is a simple walking stick I made from black locust with an elk antler burr. Heavy and hard as god's forehead. I prefer a walking stick as it is longer and I have kept dogs at bay at a much more comfortable distance. The antler burr used as a punching strike will do some serious hurt and if...
