I grew up reading Capstick books and fell in love with the cartidge. I vowed that someday I would own one. About 6 years ago, I was in a large well known gunshop in Norhern Michigan and they had a brand new Winchester classic stainless/synthetic M70 in .375 H&H sitting there. Price was...
Was bored today so I started cleaning rifles, taking inventory, thinking about turkey season, etc...realized that i had a couple of guns in the safe that i hadnt really shot in awhile, you know those guns that you buy at a good price and save for a boring day...so i grabbed 2 and headed up to a...
Was on Browning's website the other day and saw that they are gonna offer their BAR ShortTrac synthetic in 7mm-08. That is gonna make the perfect rifle for a piece of property that I hunt in Mid-Michigan. That and a Leupy 2.5x8 that I have for it... Anyway, when do you think that such a rifle...
I have a SUB-MOA stainless/synthetic in .338 win mag. It wears a Leupy 2.5-8x36. I really like this gun, it has become my go to gun, seems like I always grab it to go hunting. Accuracy is phenomenal, truly sub-moa. My particular gun, the trigger wasn't the best when it was new but that would...
Was talking to my dad who winters in Florida and he said that he had read that several police dept's had begun switching over from Glock pistols due to some other departments experiencing catastrophic failures. My dad didn't have specific info and I was unable to find anything on line. Has...
Thanks for all the replies! I love my bolt rifles, great accuracy, etc, just was thinkin it might be fun to try a lever but not if it would be awful in the accuracy dept... I could live with 1.5 moa for where I intend to use the BLR if I get one. The one I am looking at was special ordered in...
Was just wondering if someone could tell me what kind of accuracy that I could expect with a BLR in .270 WSM. Not really in the market for one but I have an opportunity to get one in stainless/camo and have always wondered about them. Seems like that gun chambered for that round would make a...
Never had a single action revolver before, was dying to get one. Saved my pennies and bought a stainless Blackhawk in .357. Hated the grip angle, hated how it loaded, hated the accuracy. Tried 3 different aftermarket grips, boatloads of ammo, finally traded it to a buddy for a mountain bike...
I would just love to have a sabot that would let me run a 200 grain .338 acubond in my .45 cal omega...I can get about 2200 fps with a 200 grain hornady SST muzzle loading bullet....would be nice to shoot a REAL plastic tipped bullet though...
Does anyone have a clue where I might find a Win M70 action in stainless steel? I want to build a .280 AI and am having a tough time. Or am I better off to try to find a good deal on a M70 in .270 and just rebarrel?
Depends on if there is a trophy stump in range... no, but seriously if the temp is going to be the same and I know that i will be hunting again soon, I just take out my 209 and use the same load. If its going to be awhile or a temperature change is called for, I shoot it. Don't know if this is...

The Federal factory rounds are at 3120 fps...we'll see I guess. The area where I will be hunting for the opener here in Michigan doesn't have any doe permits and the bucks are far and few between so chances are I won't get to try them out the first week...

POP- no, not much expansion at all. To be honest I have only shot 3 deer- all decent sized does. The first 2 were at 85 and 105 yard respectively and were both neck shots. In and out holes were both .375, both deer dropped instantly. The third was a decent sized doe at 117 yards and her neck...
