Picked up a fairly decent S&W Outdoorsman 22 today. It shoots like a dream. :) Kinda wondering if K frame stocks will fit this ol' girl.

Been arguing with a bozo some today about this topic. I'll say up front that training is an asset. It demonstrates that I am committed to safety, proper gun handling techniques, the applicable use of deadly force and willing to put my money where my mouth is. What say you? Tim

I'll admit right up front that there probably no one on the planet more ignorant about Smiths and their history than yours truly. I think I would like to get myself a 44 mag. Being somewhat of a purist, I still like blued steel. So I think that relegates me to the "used" category. It's...

I returned yesterday from my week on and about Admiralty Island which is just outside of Juneau. The primary target was brown bears. We saw plenty (15) but all but one were sows with cubs. The one possible boar was badly rubbed. One evening my brother and I watched 10 different bears on a...

I can't wait 'til the next time a starling shows up in my yard. I will no longer stealthily snipe it with CB caps. No, I will covertly deanimate it. The things a guy can pick up in a simple knife ad. This tactical lingo stuff is so refreshingly unhyped. I can't wait to learn more...

OK, we finally got down to the range today with the 870 Express Youth model in tow. My wife had never operated a pump gun before so obviously familiarization was in order. After explaining basic operation and how to load it to her, she sent several 7/8 oz 8's payloads down range at some...

Well, the McMillan stock for my 338 showed up today. Waxed the heck outta the metal and bolted the stock on the action. In less than a month I'll be on Admiralty Island (a little west and south of Juneau) looking for a big Brown Bear. The McMillan stock is pretty nice IMHO. They just...

It appears that I will be fortunate enough to be heading north this spring for a Brown Bear hunt in Alaska. I had intended to use Federal Factory 250 Noslers on the hunt in an attempt to keep things simple. But as evidenced by these targets from Sunday afternoon, the Fed factories don't...

I'm breaking in a pre-64 338. Bore sighted and shot it for the first time today. It didn't seem to want to shoot groups very bad, kinda scattered shots on the target. The thing is in very good shape so I figure it ought to shoot a little better. I got it home and checked the action screws...

I called my uncle tonight to wish him a Merry Christmas. (Yes, that's right, I said Merry Christmas!) Years ago, he was a member of the South Dakota National Guard and they shot M1 Garands at the time. He told me one day they were on the range and his was the last squad out. No one had...

I just picked up a very nice 338 Model 70 made in '59 in very good condition. My question is, what exactly is the "Alaskan" model? Mine has a standard 24" barrel. It has the exact same profile as my 270 and Hornet. I was under the impression that the "Alaskan" version had a 25" barrel...

Last week, Oct 18-22, I attended DHG1 at Thunder Ranch in Texas. First and foremost, it was FUN! Even with mulitple operator induced errors, it was fun. The other 21 students were a great bunch and the instructors were all outstanding. Secondly, it was an eye opening experience. I...

I'm headed to TR in a few weeks and am driving down. Let's start southbound on I-35 out of OKC. I've thought about just staying on I-35 down through Dallas and then cutting over back west at about Temple. I've also given thought to just takin' I-40 out of OKC and headin' south through Texas...

I bought a couple thousand once fired brass mail order. (45 ACP) I'm finding that more often than not if I have a reject out of the SDB, it's an AMERC case. I've never seen "AMERC" brand ammo anywhere. I don't know how good their ammo is, but their brass is junk. I automatically toss AMERC...

I'm still gearin' up for a trip to Thunder Ranch for DHG1 later this year. This is all new to me so bear with me please. I need to get some mag cases/holders/pouches, whatever you want to call 'em. I'm thinking that molded Kydex models would be the way to go here. I have a Sparks...

OK, I've read over and over again about how I'm supposed to focus on the front sight. Fine, I can do that and it works. But I am left with the impression that I should be able to keep the sight in focus during the entire recoil cycle. How? Once I trip the trigger, that sight is up and out...

I know, it's "off topic" but I'm going to post it anyways. I got a letter today from the soldier I adopted through Operation AC. According to Operation AC, good boots are a hit over there. Now that I know his boot size, I'm getting him a pair. And some of those Techspun socks. Anyways...

Many moons ago an indian brave, on the threshold of manhood, set out on a journey alone into the wilderness as was his tribe's custom. When he returned he would be welcomed back as a man. Through the many forests he walked and across mighty rivers he swam. With each new obstacle, he became...

Thanks a lot. If I had any smarts at all, I'd get out of here and stay out. Today I went to a large sporting goods retailer and noticed one of the salesmen was wearing what appeared to Royal Robbins 5.11's. I wandered into the men's clothing and on the clearance rack there were two paris of...
