    what calibre for bulls?

    An older friend of mine grew up on an extremely large ranch in the south east during the 1950's-70's. The property was (and still is) famous for its cattle and crops. My friend's father was the foreman for the ranch, so he had full access his entire, young life. From the time my friend was a...

    Please explain... Why is the Python more expensive than the King Cobra? What makes the Python better and worth so much more?

    6.8 SPC and Whitetail

    +1 on the 6.8SPC on deer... I have a custom built, light weight, 18 1/2" bbl, on a 700 action in 6.8 and LOVE it for deer hunting. This was my first deer season using the caliber, but between myself and friends, my gun took quite a few deer this year. I limit my self to 250 yard shots on deer...

    Recession?

    On a related subject, I am curious if a company like Midway's reloading supplies are breaking sales records. As we all know, ammo is EXPENSIVE now. I really wonder if the reloading sales have increased a bit?

    Anybody Ever Been Kicked By a Mule?

    I have shot many larger calibers that I promise do not recoil as much as a light weight, German built .300 Weatherby I own. It is a thin barreled rifle with a sharp stock (thin across the recoil pad and drop in the stock) that when fired is a quick, loud, and sharp recoil! It is not...

    Shot Placement?

    I am a bowhunter and fully understand the effectiveness of the heart/lung (behind the shoulder) shot. However, when I am gun hunting and want to bring an animal down, I try and take out the opposite side shoulder. I am a firm believer in "breaking an animal down" and keeping it from running off...

    40mm or 32mm for rimfire

    I switched out a VXIII-3.5-10x40 Leupold for a 2-7x28mm Leupold Rimfire and have enjoyed it so much more. The gun carries better and truly, I have had more fun with it. It seems to just fit the gun better! It has been a blast for hunting on a 10/22!

    AR-15 for Deer.

    +1 on the Triple Shocks....The 53 grain TSX will work just fine on deer. You will be amazed at how well of a job it really does. It does a nice job with expansion, terminal damage, and travel. Those who have not tried it need to see it to beleive it before telling others not to do it. The key is...

    Accuracy with a T/C......

    Currently, I have three barrels for my Encore (rifle). 26" Factory .50 cal. MZ- Shoots Barnes Expanders with 150 grains of pellets around 1" @ 100 yards. 26" Heavy, Factory 22-250 Barrel. It shoots 55gr. BT's around 1/2" @ 100 yards consistently. 26" Heavy Custom Shop .444 Marlin barrel...

    Any .22 Hornet shooters out there?

    I have an Anschutz and it shoots pretty well. However, when I buy another one it will be a CZ. They are probably the most economical hornet available as well as the most accurate! I really like the idea of the full stock CZ in .22 hornet!

    attention: all members who have hunted wild hogs

    I have killed a A LOT of hogs. By far, the biggest has been (I have caught bigger, but that's another story) a 412 pound Bar that I shot with an AR. I hit him twice, real quickly behind the front left shoulder, quartering away with 2- 55 grain soft points at 40 yards. After the shot, he ran...

    How tall a fence is needed to keep whitetails in (or out)?

    8' feet will stop MOST deer, but 10 is far more effective. When pressured, I have seen mature whitetails clear an 8' foot fence pretty easily. However, most deer will not voluntarily jump it. Typically, they have to be pushed, startled, or driven over it. Amazingly though, I have seen an Axis...

    Black buck antelope

    On a trophy ram (over 18") you are going to pay close to $1,800and up. You can probably get a meat doe or management ram for around $500.

    I can't find a LCP anywhere

    I made a request and the manager at my LGS, serioulsy said he had a bunch (about a 100) on backorder! I knew they were popular but had no idea they were that POPULAR.

    Remington 700P LTR vs 700 XCR Compact Tactical - What's the Difference?

    ESHELL....Tell us more about your rifle and scope combinations you have in the picture. I as well am a "fanatic" about heavy barrel 700's and AR's.

    Remington 700P LTR vs 700 XCR Compact Tactical - What's the Difference?

    I am really interested in both of these rifles. I have convinced myself that I want a "tacticool" 20" bbl. Remington 700 in .223 with a 1/9" twist for plinking, targets, "truck gun", and to use for some hunting. Bottom line, i just like the idea of a heavy 20" bbl .223. Keep us posted on your...

    Range finders

    I bought a Leica about 6-7 years ago and have been completely satisified with it. My model (900 I think) will range a deer out to about 530 yards. Beyond that, it will read trees, rocks, BIG stuff with relative ease out to around 800 yards. If something ever happens to it, I will for sure buy...

    3-9x40: Conquest or VX-III ?

    I own both and like them each. I can't not really say one is noticeably better than the other. Honestly, they are so close it comes down to which one you think "looks" better on your rifle. You will be pleased with either choice.
