I already shared how my grandson is using my New version Browning A5 for trap. He shot a 20 with it Sunday and it's only his 6th time ever shooting trap. My son has decided to shoot too and while he used to shoot with an 11-87 he now is using my Francki 612. I am happy to see them do well and am...

I like shotguns and have had many over the years. I used to hunt upland game with a passion and wore out some good boots. I also belonged to a sporting clays league. My best was a Beretta Black Onyx 686. But due to injuries, I bought a new version Browning A5 auto. I love it. Anyway my grandson...

This year I recovered enough to deer hunt. My buddy built a partially enclosed deer stand with a roof for me. I was fortunate to get a good shot on a nice doe. I had never paid much attention to the muzzle brake on my Tikka before. Even though the muzzle was outside of the stand the reflection...

For several years I have hunted with a Tikka T3 in 7-08 with a muzzle brake. It hasn't bothered me before now, but this year I hunted from an enclosed stand with a roof. Even with the muzzle outside the stand the blast was too loud. I shot a deer Saturday and today, Tuesday my ears still ring...

According to Field and Stream Pigs have been bred to survive cold weather and have spread in the wild.= in Canada. Normal pigs can't survive freezing temperatures but somehow farmer managed to eliminate that safeguard. They are not in the U.S. yet but they are headed toward North Dakota...

I saw a knife site BPS knives recommended. I looked at them on Amazon and am thinking about getting the HK5 model. But I don't want to waste money. I do have a couple Mora knives but I wanted something different. Buy or get something better, hunting and bush knife.

I have much anticipated this year's deer, bought ammo, sighted in, bought a new coat and other equipment. My buddy that owns our hunting land built a new stand for me. My shoulders were pretty well healed up from my motorcycle accident. The weather is going to be great. But I did have a...

I have read many times that one should pull the trigger very slowly and when it goes off it is a surprise. Really. If this is so, why are fast lock times important. In my opinion, one should be in a stabile position, have a firm grip on the firearm so it doesn't move when you pull the trigger...

I went to a couple sporting goods stores that are usually well stocked for supplies and ammo for the upcoming deer season. They had all kinds of oddball stuff and lots of 308 but no 7-08. The particular Hornady ammo I want is also out-of-stock online. There was a few boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor but...

I was thinking about another 20 G over-under for occasional grouse hunting and use by my grandkids and DTR in law. I looked at the Stevens in a local gunshop and it seemed to shoulder nicely, was very light which I like and decent looking. anyone have one to comment on or suggest another brand...

As some of you know I have been unable to shoot hardly at all since an accident 2 years ago. Today a good friend enticed me to go shooting. I brought my old CZ 452 Lux, he brought a CZ 457 At ONE, a CZ 457 MTR, a Styer, and a Cooper. All his rifles were beautiful and accurate. My 452 held it's...

Yesterday on my way to our cabin a good sized Black bear crossed the road from a corn field into a farmers grove. We stopped and warned the family that a bear was very near their house. They had a young dog tied out and he was really nervous. They took the dog in. We showed them a picture.

I mounted a scope on my new break barrel air rifle. Found out the scope moves. Can anyone suggest mounts. I have seen pinned mounts but don't remember where.

The HW30S I ordered finally came. Meanwhile I bought a couple Hatsans and tried reviving some older air guns. I got it out of the box and took to my garage to test fire it. Boy am I pleased. It is quality made. It cocked easily and smoothly. The trigger is light , recoil no even noticeable. At...

I bought 3 Hatsan air rifles and they all came this week. an Alpha for my grandson, An Airtract because it was a great deal, refurbished for $50, and a Hatsan 95 also refurbished because I wanted a .22. The Alpha turned out to be harder to cock than I expected. accuracy was so-so. It might be...

I gave my 700 in 243 to my Grandson and have been thinking of a replacement. I was considering doing a build. I just saw a Remington 783 in 6.5 Creedmore for $325. I am not a big fan of 6.5 Creedmore but I am warming up to it. It comes with a scope that probably is worthless but I have one...

I have been hunting for several years with my buddy on land behind his house. I knew the property was owned by a distant landlord but my buddy had permission to hunt it. The neighbor on the other side sold his land to a new guy. The new guy contacted the owner and claims that my buddy never had...

I didn't realize that they were made of gold, Joking. I lost my 10 rounder somehow. Nobody has them in stock and searching I found them on Ebay for up to $150. Each. I did find one for $59. I bought it then found another one on a CZ sight I ordered it and found out It was in Europe someplace...

Memorial day a large Bear stepped out of the woods about 30 yards from my camper and walked away on a trail then dove into thick brush. About 10 people saw it. They all said it was tall skinny and had brown fur. I didn't see it but saw the tracks. Black Bear are common here but I have never...

I wondered what to do with a stripped lower I had for a long time. I considered a pistol, a Grendel, and others. I saw Del-ton rifle kits priced at $450 and I thought I should build one while I can. I finished it and got out to the range today. That's at 100 yards, 1 inch dot. I am having eye...
