You have acquired a real winner there. I've taken many whitetails with a 7x57 in Wisconsin from 40 - 274 yards and all have been one shot kills. That is a good thing since mine is in a Ruger #1AB.
I don't have as much of a trespassing problem anymore but encountered it many times in the past. The worst was the one that had his blind off of my property but clearcut shooting lanes 80-100 yards into my property. Another time I had a person or persons fell trees across my driveway to limit my...
My season ended here in Wisconsin yesterday with the turkeys getting another win. Before season they where in my yard and could hear them gobbling in the morning when I stepped out on the front porch. During season I had difficulty locating a tom and when I did, they were not responsive. Most...
I have a B-Square #16450 blued mount and rings that fits a Charles Daly Semi-Auto 12 still in the original package. It's free and I will pay the shipping to anywhere in lower 48 states.
I'm a casual user and own a Kimber Ultra Carry II .45ACP, Taurus PT1911 .45ACP, Browning Hi-Power 9mm, and a S&W Performance Center Shield 9mm. Hands down my favorite conceal carry piece is the Kimber. The Taurus and Hi-Power shoot well but are a little large for a conceal carry. The Shield 9mm...

If your a trap, skeet or sporting clays shooter you will usually prefer extractors so that you have your empty hulls remain in your O/U or SxS. This way you can retrieve your empties without chasing them. Leaving your empties on most ranges is frowned upon. Also, you now have them for reloading.
I've not shot one of these guns but it is fairly light so I'm guessing it is going to recoil some in a 12 gauge. My thoughs would be the 20 gauge and the .410 bore. You didn't say how much shooting your wife does, it could make a difference on the selection.
I have the second season hear in Wisconsin that starts later this week. By now we've already had the special Learn-To-Hunt, Youth Season, and are in the first regular season so the birds have already heard a lot of calling. My hope is to find a small pocket that hasn't been hunted yet. I was...
