My wife doesn't shoot so I can't "buy her rifles". But, if she knows I have a project going, she will sneak down to the gunsmith's and put some money down on the project. She says to me, "I don't know what else to get you". I have a GREAT wife!

Very nice! I think you will both the rifle and the cartridge. Looking forward to seeing some targets.

Wishing you best. I trust you have "go bags" all packed? Hopefully, you won't need them.

I found this little scene during my walk through the woods this morning. There is on a steep bank and there is a big opening under the rock, but it is hard to see how deep it goes in the photo. I half expected to see a gnome, pixie, elf, fairy, or leprechaun peeking out at me. But, I guess...

When my Aunt and Uncle lived in in Colorado a lion moved into their area for while. They had photos of it beside their house. My uncle found numerous deer carcasses all over the place. During a discussion with a local conservation officer my uncle was told that a mountain lion averages a deer...

That is a unique look. Very nice. Looking forward to seeing some targets.

Cowboy, To provide some encouragement for you, I went digging into my records to try to find some examples of how much difference in accuracy can be between various factory loads. Below are the first four 100-yard targets shot with 4 different factory loads from my first 7mm Rem Mag. The...

Cowboy, There is some good advice listed above. I have had two (currently one) 7mm Rem Mags. Both were LH Winchester Model 70's with the CRF. I will say that there is some factory ammo that they absolutely hate. In particular, the Federal cartridge loaded with 160 gr. Partition. However, I...

Sounds like a great and successful adventure. Congratulations to you and your group for catching so many fish.

I just saw this as well. Hoping Manny fully recovers.

Congratulations!

Beautiful rifle. Looking forward to seeing your targets.
