It was a pleasure meeting you, we were pumped when we saw the bear you got up there. So nice you could see Dr Mike too on the way south again. You drove through some nice country both ways.
We are moving to the North Okanagan this spring so won't be too far from where you live. Leaving on...
Read the article and watched the video @Guy Miner well done. I'm glad you were able to get such a beautiful bear on your hunt. It was nice to meet you face to face on that trip too. I'll share some thoughts on bear guns and bullets when I get the chance. Frying up bacon wrapped salmon and...
Thought there was a cool story behind this shotgun. Makes the hunt that much sweeter with that history. That shotgun has a lot more hunting trips in it any many more birds to bring in.
Yep, seems like Ballistic Tips are expensive up here now. I've been collecting the 170 gr 277 and they are $50-60 CAD usually. I got some on sale for about $45 not too long ago.
@cloverleaf prices are higher on lots of things now but glad you found some of those 100 gr blue tips now that they...
A like new pre 64 M 70 264 WM is one of the great classic guns. I like Remington a lot but you came out on top with this one. Getting back to the 6.8 Western there are some nice options in the M 70 for it.
Tell me you're a gun nut without telling me you're a gun but 😜
I'm sure someone will gladly take those R-P cases from you. Norma makes nice brass though.
Before the 260 officially came out Redding came out with their 270 Redding Wildcat. It has a 30 degree shoulder and to me was the best of the Wildcats on the 308 case. I thought about it but when the 260 came out I went with it and love it too. 270-308 would be easier and be a great performer...
Haha I think we all are, some of us just more than others.
With both 6.5 and 277 cal cartridges I'm not likely to get a 7 mm although I reserve the right to do so if the right one comes along 😉
I remember starting this thread and being disappointed at some of the response. Someone with a bad attitude sure can make it go sideways.
Now that I have had my gun for a while I'm happy with it and what the round is capable of. Many people that own one say that they are getting the...
Sorry to hear this news. Keep your head up and don't let it get you down, you'll be fine. We all have had difficult things happen to us so you're not alone, you will come out stronger in the end.
Never knew there was a 43 Spanish or 43 Dutch, had heard of a 43 Egyptian though.
This ammo looks different but is listed as 43 Spanish.
