I have long been a proponent of checking zero the week before the hunt and then, not cleaning the bore for the entire hunting season. This practice appears to keep the zero right on the money, as introducing lubes and/or cleaners to the bore will throw off zero, at least until 4 or 5 "fouling"...

Okay Dr. Mike, I am getting ready to go out the door to Ga. to hunt some more. On this 1800 acres, the club restricts us to 2 bucks and 3 antlerless, so of course, I want to hunt some more. Kindly send me your email address and I will post photos to you. Best, Steven

Thanks Dr. Mike! I tried to post photos. I had the jpg in the box, but when I hit post, nothing happens. (?) What do I have to do?

Hello All. Below I copied a note that I sent to our hunt club president, regarding the buck that I bagged this past Monday. Hi Bobby, I think that I may have gotten the buck that the deputy told you about. Sunday morning, I saw a very nice six point buck, alone. And later a doe. This, from the...

M1 Rifles at the 2nd and 3rd level of sales are rapidly going up in price simply because available numbers are finite and shrinking all the time. M1 Rifles with all WWII, correct parts are over 2K. Reasons for the seller's market: (1) Going into private collections and not coming out until the...

Certainly since the first US M1 Rifles were released through the old DCM program, millions have been used on countless ranges. At this time, interest in the M1 Rifle as a fun and/or competition rifle is waning. The inexpensive surplus ammo in 30-06 is gone. Prices rapidly rise on M1 Rifles to...

From my experience, I did not do well with my 300RUM, Browning Stalker. With my old 30-06, I had been shooting 180gr. bullets as hot I dared to load them and killed everything out to 400 yards. When I began loading for the 300RUM the accuracy was good UNTIL I got 300 fps faster than the 30-06...

I am considering buying this trail cam http://www.trailcampro.com/moultriepano ... eview.aspx Any opinions, pro or con? Any other suggestions, regarding which trail cam to buy? Any reviews on the trail cams that you have used? Steven L. Ashe

Thanks to all who responded. I phoned Browning and they were helpful. 40 in. lbs. on receiver screws. 25 in. lbs. for scope screws. These figures from Browning cust. service. Best, Steven L. Ashe

Thanks JD338. My stand is more then 500 yds. off any road. So, incandescent should be fine. Which one? Steven

Thanks for the advice. Hogwild; the Browning phone number is 1-800-322-4626. No biggy, you were only off by one digit! Receiver screws : 40 in/lbs. No sequence. Just go front, back, front, back, until 40 in/lbs is reached. My wrench set is Wheeler Engineering, Fat Wrench. I got it unopened...

Okay Hogwild, thanks. I have hunted with the rifle for a number of years. Now I want to take all down and detail clean. I do use Loc-tite blue. Rifle : Browning Stainless Stalker in 280Rem. Mounts and rings: Leupold Scope: Zeiss Conquest, 3-9x40mm Steven

What is the recommended tightness in inch-pounds for receiver screws? Scope ring screws? Scope mount screws? TIA, Steven L. Ashe

I want to have at least one trail camera ready to set up by Oct. The selection is daunting, with prices shown from well below $100 to over $500. All that I need is a camera that will record what came through, so that when I check the camera, on site, I can see the results. Opinions and...

I was ending the Ga. deer season and had not seen many deer for two days. Cold and rain had sent most deer into the low, thick pines for warmth. At 7:10 A.M. I was just beginning to get shooting light when I saw what looked like a black dog, moving toward my stand, down the wide track that I was...

I hope that some of you can confirm or reject my findings. Most of my life, so far, I have hunted north of the Mason-Dixon Line, or out in the great west. During those hunts, I had some very cold weather and learned how the deer reacted to cold and wind. In the cases where cold and wind occur...

Thanks for the responses. Luckily, I have another 300 of those bullets. Oddly enough, when I went out to hunt on Sun. Morning, all the others in camp went home. "It is going to rain!", they told me. A hard rain had fallen all night. I was convinced that like deer everywhere, these deer must...

I had previously reported on a 7mm 140gr. Nos. AB, retrieved from a boar, after crashing through the left side ribs and shattering the right shoulder and lodging in the armored frontal hide of the boar. That bullet retained 70% of it's original weight. The range was right at 90 yds. On Sunday...

Everyone's responses were played out as correct during last weekend's hunt in SE GA. During Dec. antlerless deer are off limits, so I was only gunning for bucks, 8 pt. or better. Arriving in camp early Fri. afternoon, the weather was in the high 70s, but with a front moving in. Before dark, I...
