    Green Dot Vs Red Dot Sights

    I switched from a Red dot to a Green dot and find it is much better during the daytime. Where Red dots will fade the green dot stays very visible. Night shooting with a light is even better and the Green dot sticks out like a sore thumb.

    38 Special 125 grain handload input please?

    Guy, WW244 is available and shoots very clean with 125 grain bullets. I use it exclusively in my 9MM and have found it is not dirty at all and the amount you use enables it to go a bit further than other powders.

    Handgun hunting with Nosler 300gr 44mag

    I picked up a box a while back and tried using them for Deer which I found to be disappointing. They act like solids and would be better used as such. Going from a Revolver to a rifle would I'm sure definitely help in the velocity department and may make a difference in performance.

    CO hunter Ed requirements for non-residents

    Jim, My first hunt in Colorado was 1999 and the person behind the counter asked for my Driver's license. She checked my DOB and said "you're good to go" My hunting buddy who was considerably younger than me had to show his Florida certificate (which was valid in Colorado) He was ok'd also. Just...

    Powder Valley primer sale

    Jim, if you're in the market for primers and you have a Bass Pro in the area give them a yell. I picked up 1000 Federal small pistol for $59.95. The Mag primers were about $3.00 more. Saves Hazmat and shipping.

    Which bullet for 308 and Elk

    You are definitely not limited by your scope. All I have ever used on my .338 RUM for Elk is a 1.5X6 I have never felt a need to go to any more power. My elk have been taken with the Scope on 4X and one with the scope set on 6X.

    Hunting knives recommendations?

    For that kind of money I would look no further than Randall knives. I own five from a long time past (before they tripled in price and you had to wait five years to get one). You can find them at gun shows at a somewhat reasonable price in excellent working order. They will handle any job you...

    Best Tasting Animal?

    I'll take Moose, White tails from Alabama and fresh water Duck. Caribou pulls up a close second.

    Getting older/different shooting priorities

    Very interesting comment. I'm 81 and my shooting habits have basically changed over to handguns. I'm still qualifying on a yearly basis for my HR 218 and both that and just plain having fun takes up my time. I've hunted deer in Maine since 1960 and with a couple of side trips to New York state...

    2025 Hunting Season

    Guy, Quick question, Have you checked with any of the local PD's yet on getting recertified with the HR-218. I had good luck with our local Sheriff's Department. Initially tried our local men in Blue but they lacked the manpower to assist.

    Who's owned or used Canik pistols enough to form an opinion?

    My niece has had her Canik for roughly two years and has put a lot of bullets down the barrel. Has held up well and is very accurate.

    Alcan large rifle primers?

    while we're talking primers I was at my local Bass Pro on Sunday and purchased 1000 Federal small pistol for 56.00. They listed for 60.00 but with a military discount the price was less. Seemed like a very good price.
