It’s a long story but I came into a parts gun, a 1950’s vintage Gen 1 Savage 110 long action, flat back. It has a hinged floorplate and is long action. I looked at Boyds and a few other outlets. Anyone have an old factory stock laying around or know of somewhere I can buy a replacement...

Have a close friend who has had the .284 Winchester on his mind a lot lately. He’s looking for a long-action push feed M70 to build this on. The idea is to load 160-168 grain bullets to a COAL of approximately 3.150-3.225” and put as much Ramshot Hunter in the case as it will safely take. A...

What real world difference can I expect between these two bullets? Standard .270 Winchester loaded to 2900-2950 fps, wanting to setup a longer range load for shooting out to 600 yards absolute max. Mule deer and the occasional antelope, sheep and elk. My rifle is a Browning BBR with 24”...

I am probably getting addle-brained in this summer heat but, I have an old 1903 Springfield that was rechambered to .257 Weatherby Magnum. Its a beautiful rifle, but needs a new barrel. Perhaps you good fellows would weigh in on my conundrum. Option A- My original thoughts were to have my smith...

Near as I can tell this rifle was made by J.G. Anschutz in the late 30’s or early 40’s in Zella-Mehlis as it still bears the Nazi proof mark. It was given to me by a close friend/mentor. I am going to have my smith install a scope friendly safety in the near future. I mounted the Leupold M7-b...

Has anyone tried one of these yet? They look promising, the price seems quite attractive at only $279.00 for an American-made product. 30mm tube, BDC reticle. Would be at home on any levergun but makes a lot of sense for an AR or a bolt action. http://skinnersights.com/skinner-optics.html

Last weekend at our local gunshow, I was finally able to check a box off of my gun bucket list. With a straight across trade involving a rifle I hardly ever used, the Model 70 came home with me showered by friends with an oral ticker tape parade of disbelief in my swapping abilities. My...

Been looking at buying a quality lockable double scoped rifle case. Hard plastic might do but I would prefer something aluminum for the added protection during travel on the ground or in the air. What are your recommendations?

Were it not for the generosity of my friend Guy Miner, I would be sunk. Have not seen Percussion caps of any kind anywhere for nearly two years. Obviously with the latest shortage, it’s probably not a top priority. But are any of you able to find or buy these elusive unicorns? Is there a...

About a year back on my facebook page “Shooting the Breeze” we had a fun discussion and poll that I would love to start here. We all can easily name our favorite all-around hunting rifle cartridge I suppose, mine without a doubt is the .30-06 Springfield. But what if, hypothetically, you...

I write a weekly outdoor sports/shooting column for our local newspaper. I’m writing a piece right now explaining the difference (my opinion of course) between Adequate cartridges and Ideal cartridges. To me practically any cartridge can be adequately used in the field, especially with premium...

Opinions on Peterson Brass? A friend of a friend is needing help with some ammo for a .340 Weatherby Magnum. The most inexpensive brass I can find is Peterson at $2.64 ea 🤢 The next cheapest is Weatherby brass at $3.35 ea!! 🤮 (vomiting at the price, not the quality) I have never used Peterson...

The 117 grain Interlock BTSP shoots great on top of Ramshot Hunter in my .25-06! I’ve used it to take lots of coyotes and an antlerless mule deer some time ago, its a good bullet as long as one avoids big bones. I have used the SST in other calibers but never .257. I am wondering if there is...

Anyone heard of this new levergun cartridge? Supposedly a .30-30 case straightened out to take .358 bullets!!! I’m excited.

Who here hunts with a shotgun? Its something I’ve always wanted to try. I see all kinds of mounts out there and am not sure which one to use. My shotgun is a Remington 870 20 gauge with the 28” smoothbore barrel. I will be using rifled or brenneke slugs. Not sure if I will use a red dot or...

20 years ago I had a Hi-Standard Sport King .22 pistol with the 6.75” barrel. Damn it was a shooter! I got broke and sold it for way too cheap. Earlier this week I found one in great shape and for a reasonable price on Gunbroker and have bid! It has a 4.75” barrel instead of the longer barrel...
