    What exactly have I got here? Rupp rifle...

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with examples of any genuine Rupp rifles. Tons of replicas being made by enthusiasts, but no genuine signature to compare to.

    What exactly have I got here? Rupp rifle...

    This rifle is in extremely rough shape and I have done quite a bit of research but didn't come up with a whole ton of info. Only that it is apparently a Herman Rupp rifle (one of two well known brothers), it was given to me by my wife's grandfather. Any long rifle enthusiasts on THR know...

    Discover Magazine Artice About Hunting

    A great example of micro evolution resulting through selection, which is clearly observable. Not to be confused with macro evolution, molecules to man evolution (which is a crock). Sorry, kind of off topic, just a subject that interests me very much.

    Dual purpose shotgun - Turkey and upland

    Thanks for all the advice gentlemen. The upland I plan on hunting will be here on the high desert, pheasant, grouse, chukar, and quail. The terrain is waist high sage brush (and shorter) with rocky outcroppings for the most part. No dog as of yet, I would love to at some point though.

    Dual purpose shotgun - Turkey and upland

    I already own an 18.5" 870 for HD, and now I want to try at hunting a variety of birds. Being a college student I can't justify purchasing two shotguns. Is there any reason that a 28" 870 with a variety of choke tubes couldn't handle both turkey and a variety of upland birds? The reason I ask...

    Winchester Model 70 Youth Ranger

    Hi! I purchased (from a pawn shop) a Winchester Model 70 (.243) about 2 years ago for a coyote rifle and I just noticed it has "Youth Ranger" stamped on the barrel. I know the "ranger" designation means it has a cheaper wood/finish... but what is the difference between the youth and standard...

    Handgun Ammo Shortage?

    Just bought my first handgun today... a PT140, went to Sportsman's Warehouse for ammo, nothing... not a single box of 40. Went to Joes across the parking lot... one box of american eagle.

    Coyote hunting woes

    So, would it be smart to stay in cover while moving if possible? (Such as a treeline) Or are they going to see/hear/smell me anyhow when I'm hiking? Some really good advice in here, I appreciate it, I think I need to be much more aware of the wind! It sounds like that is key.

    Coyote hunting woes

    Me and a buddy recently decided to take up coyote hunting, we had previously only hunted rabbits. Neither of us grew up in a hunting family, him coming from Portland, OR and I from the Bay Area. We have the right gear, he uses a Browning lever action in 22-250, and I have a Winchester model 70...

    Friend pulled a gun yesterday

    1) If the person would have had his CHL, and drawn or brandished (not fired), would he have been in trouble at all? You can be killed in a 'simple' fight, and the other guy could have taken his gun. I can see where he would have been in fear of serious bodily harm.
