    Guiding rifle

    Sorry for that, I should have been more clear. My question was intended for the author of the post, I was just curious if his father was new to guiding and if not why he was looking for a guide rifle other than what he may have used. Regards,

    Just out of curiosity, what has your dad used in the past as his guide rifle?

    Would you consider a 303 British?

    Sure. Why not? Many a game has fell to a .303. My uncles all grew up with them as they could pick from a slew of them at local gun shops in the 'late 50s for $15-$20. If you don't already have one what would it hurt to have one on hand to mess around with? Regards,

    What is your idea of.....

    Put me down for a BDL in .270 win wearing a 6x Leupold. High desert muleys, pacific blacktails to north woods whitetails. Nothing sexy but it would do the job. Regards,

    Hey Cloverleaf.....Can you talk some more rabbits?

    Howdy, I have been in Wisconsin for a year now and I am very interested in rabbit hunting. I will be doing this without a dog for what it is worth. I have been told to concentrate on brush piles & hold my ground if I jump one as the rabbit will come full circle. I have heard various thoughts on...

    Screaming Eagles .300 Savage

    Yes Sir it did, one in the lungs & down he went. That is last years little Oregon black tail, now that I live in Wisconsin I will see if I can bag a white tail with it. I have bought & sold a lot of rifles over the years but still fall back on that 99, warm feelings I suppose. Regards,

    Screaming Eagles .300 Savage

    Hi ya, This is in regards to Screaming Eagles search for .300 Savage brass. How many of you have a ol' Savage & still use them? This is mine, it is the first rifle I ever got & sill does as it should. My grand dad bought it at a hardware store & it still wears the old 4x Weaver. They were used...

    Carry Guns

    Hi ya, Anyone out there build your own? Here is my carry 1911, or one of them I guess. It is very rewarding building one for yourself. This is a Colt 1991 converted back to a 70 series, STI beavertail, Ed Brown bobtail & lots of other stuff. I like a full frame carry gun, always prescribed to...

    Handgun competition?

    Guy, you should give IPSC/USPSA a try. I am sure there is a club in your area hosting matches, you could look it up at USPSA.org. I got into it a few years ago & it is a blast, reminds me of my days in the Corps. Your kimber would work great in the single stack or limited 10 divisions, I use...

    Kimber won't lock open

    Hi ya, Check the slide stop. Is it battered & not hitting the mag maybe? Was it bought from an action shooter like IPSC? A lot of them file the slide lock down so the 1911 will not go into slide lock. Regards, Chris

    Rifle slings

    I'm there with Guy Miner. I use a quality 1-1/4" military sling that I can get a good, tight sling wrap in a hurry. I have one sling that goes from rifle to rifle. Regards, Chris Ward "Semper Fi"
