    Myth of the MOA hunting rifle

    Sorry if this post offended anyone, it was not meant to or to troll. Just to illustrate that no rifle, even the best built with the best ammo is immune to external forces. Changes in weather conditions, lighting, shooter induced influences will have an influence on where the group centers on a...

    Accuracy, speed, protecting the flock..

    I have an older Kimber 1911 custom target in stainless. This pistol is very accurate. Knocking down the falling plates at 50yds is ridiculously easy with this pistol. From a ransom rest it will put a magazine full in a silver dollar size ragged hole at 25yds with match ammo. Back when I was...

    Downloading the 30-06

    May have to get one of those slip on limb saver recoil pads and see if I can tolerate the full power loads at the range. I generally only go to the range in moderate weather so no heavy jacket. I do hate the look of those slip on pads though. I do like the compliments I get from others at the...

    Downloading the 30-06

    My favorite hunting rifle is a pre 64 M70 feather weight in 30-06 (built in 1955). I purchased this rifle about 15 years ago as I did not own any M70's and felt everyone should own at least one "rifleman's rifle". It is also one of the most accurate light sporters I have owned. It consistently...

    My first deer hunt, November 1967

    Thought I would share this story as some enjoyed the story of Dad's 280 posted in the rifles section earlier. In Nov. 1967 I was 9 years old and weighed about 65-70 pounds, don't remember how tall I was. Dad had been teaching me to shoot since I was about 6 and thought I was ready for my first...

    Dad's 280 and reflections

    For its 60th birthday I brought Dad's Remington m/725 in .280 out of semi retirement for this hunting season. Dad purchased this rifle new in 1957 or 1958 while stationed at Ft. Hood, TX. This was my Dad's first and only big game rifle until the last few years of his life when he used a .243 as...
