This certainly adds quality input to the discussion. Allen & Mike, maybe this helps you understand a bit better.
To get back to the thread, as it was asked. Moose are always tough unless you get them someplace with no water and no brush in the vicinity. Grolar's are just plain mean and...
5shot, thank you
Earle, that will provide a few meals, nice. thanks again. we have zero experience with the 7mm-08 but we have two females in training now and should have two more by next spring, so something that fits them, that could handle the little guys, sheep, goat, caribou, wolf would...
Earle, thank you again sir
Grandfaf was not a into rifles and bullets the way you fellows are. After he retired he reloaded as a hobby more than anything else. He was a hunter however and to him if the animals kept falling down when he shot them, it was a very accurate rifle. LOL When I go...
Earle, as always excellent information.
Wanted ask you a question. My grandfather got hooked on Weatherby's waaaay back when they used Mauser 98 and he said also some Model 70 action in their early years. He said he had a 257 and 300 that was very accurate when it was delivered. He still...
yeah, your 280 Ross and my 275 H & H has been making animals fall down when they go bang for a long time
Dr Mike, funny story. A white bear would not stay down and finally I was close enough to put one in her ear and said "try to get back up now bitch" and after I regained my composure I...
Mike, although I agree with you about Moose, I find their ability in finding a difficult place to expire more frustrating. On average the brown and white bear have required more shots, but that might be just my desire for them to put them down as quickly a possible. I have not had any trouble...
Earle, that is one sweet looking rifle
Mike, what will you use it for ? Wolf and Caribou ? Maybe Blacktail and goat if you travel south. If you just want another rifle and caliber buy it, but in my humble opinion it isn't the best option for you in the area you live in.
That said, my...
was given a heads up about Mike's article
very nicely written Mike
To add the white bear to the mix for the forum members
white bears actually see people as food and will and do track them. Size wise, the coastal brown and white are close in size with the same skin/bone/muscle type, there...
I would have to increase my trapping income, ten fold to afford that, but thank you, I will tell him and he can run it by grandfather. I think he is looking at some Italian company who makes them, Petersolli ( sp ? )or something like that. Grandfather has made these cartridges in the past and...
I would like to own a double but it is not a burning desire nor am I presently looking. however my husband has decided he wants to hunt buffalo ( and other game ) with a 45/100 Sharps and is in the process of looking for one and also learning how to make cartridges for it. There are different...
Hodgeman, this is a great book, love it!!! And, in Nunavut there are still a couple of these being used. They are pretty cool actually.
Hodgeman, Elmerthudd, April, Scotty- The knock on these are that the full length wood stock shrink and expand and screw up the accuracy--but the ones I...
preacher and all others who posted on this thread. I am only asking, as for the most part we tend to move in a different direction. Just asking, nothing more
We pay more and are willing to do so to obtain the best we can afford. Not the prettiest, but good, very good, tried and true type...
Gil and Hawk
Thank you. I hope a couple of members here read and re-read both of your posts above in reference to rifle and caliber preference. I have in the past been crucified, ridiculed, and laughed at, for my 348 preference. At first I tried to be the better person and explain that I...
Guys, I am not ignoring your pm, s, etc, but neither the internet or time is available at times.
Secondly, I have nothing, in comparison to most of you fellows and the ones I do have, I use only two of them, the 348 and 7mmwsm. however, as requested
2 Win 71 348
1 Brown 348
1 Brown 7mmwsm...
Nobody likes a show off Gil-----MAINLY BECAUSE WE ARE JEALOUS!!!!!
You have more lever rifles than we have rifles, in our entire village.
All joking aside, that is one fine collection Gil and if you know the effort it took just to make this post you would know how impressed and jealous I am...
Very good observation Rodger and very well said
Gil, I was hoping you and Dr Mike would contribute to this thread as you are both far more tactful and softer spoken than I, thank you for your post and "link"
In Gil's link toward the end it states "Caribou are threatened across Canada, with...
