    "Front Shoulder" and other terms...

    I'll jump on this one. I'm going to put wheels on my rifle so I can "run" it instead of shooting it...........saves ammo by not collecting statistical valid precision data. I'm replacing my trigger with a light switch so my rifles precision can be described as "lights out" and I don't have to...

    shotgun ( or two ) for granddaughter

    I’m a little late coming to this thread but have been following it with many thoughts that I think would be of value to the topic. I read Europe’s last post and agree with her latest decision. I married a woman 15 years ago that came from a male centric family that excluded her from the “man”...

    End of the trail.....

    Good work. That's a big coyote. What do you estimate his weight? I just shot this one from my deer stand a couple weeks ago. It was probably 35 pounds.

    Show Your Lever Guns

    The Model 71 Winchester is one of the finest Browning designs to ever come out of the Winchester factory. IMHO, pre-64 Winchesters were the pinnacle of American Firearm craftsmanship. Hand fitting of all milled parts resulted in a solid feel of workmanship like no other. I don’t have a Model 71...

    The Drive for Notoriety

    This topic and thread strikes a very sensitive chord for me. I have been disgusted by the “Hunting” programs to the point where I no longer watch them. A pet peeve with me has always been the “long range hunting” concept. I am going to make a statement that is not meant to disparage stand...

    142 lrab test

    Good test. However I may be dumb but I have no clue what an "Irab" bullet is. I shoot 142 Sierra matchkings.

    Who here has competed with firearms?

    Currently hold F-Class Mid-Range Master shooting a 308 in F-TR, 600 yard. Started in smallbore 4-position. Tried High power silhouette, service rifle XTC with a garand, the Garand match, and other local club matches. Kind of got more fun out of informal club matches with hunting rifles than...

    Flaig's Rifles

    Flaigs was a top level gunsmithing shop in one of the Pittsburgh, PA suburbs. I have posted copy of their catalog that I got in 1973. The prologue in the catalog talks about 40 years of service to sportsman. I do know that they were there prior to WWII as my grandfather would take me there to...

    Win 94AE 30-30

    It would warm heart more to be at the range and see some old fart shooting cast bullets out of a 94. Seems the norm now is some black rifle.

    Ditto on the BH209. Pricey but worth it.

    48 Nolser long range rifle

    I am currently mentoring a friend who purchased a Nosler Long Range Rifle a couple months ago in 300 Win Mag. He has completed the break-in and only shot factory ammo through it. It took a few tries to find some ammo that it liked. It does meet the accuracy guarantee with Nosler Factory Accubond...

    308 vs. 7mm-08

    I would like to offer some opinions on this topic as I have owned, still own, and have killed deer with both calibers. My choice is the 7-08 for a lightweight carrying type hunting rifle. A medium action and a 22" barrel will get you a nice rifle and about all the practical barrel length that...

    Knight Inline Muzzleloaders

    Thanks for asking Lefty. No, I didn't buy a Knight. I have a problem buying rifles that I haven't put my hands on in a store or on the range first. We have a Cabela's, Scheels, and Guns Unlimited here in Omaha and nobody stocks them. In the process of my research on the Muzzleloading Forums, I...

    Knight Inline Muzzleloaders

    I am thinking about getting an inline muzzleloader to extend my deer season. Rifle season here in NE is just one week and I would like to be able to hunt longer. When I lived in PA, they had a Primitive Muzzleloader deer season after Christmas that was fun. However they required flintlock and...

    Modern rifles, tool vs. soul

    I can’t begin to say how much this topic strikes a sensitive chord in me. This concept creates conflict every time hunting season arrives and I go to the cabinet to prepare rifles. The Hunter and Rifleman in me wants to grab the synthetic stocked, stainless barreled, performance rifles. The...

    Barrett Fieldcraft...out of the box.

    Those are fascinating rifles. I looked at their website to determine if the mount screws were 8-40 VS the industry standard 6-48. What are they? I'm looking forward to seeing how it groups.

    Nosler 48 Heritage 7-08 Final Report

    That is a Wichita rest that is no longer made. Probably the closest today is the Hart JB100.
