    Howa .223

    I grabbed a new Howa 223 with what looks like a Boyd's laminated stock. And am very pleased with it. It has a 1/8 twist 22" barrel. It is quite accurate with 69 grain Hpbt bullets. See grouping at 100 yds.... 3shots from cold barrel. I also purchased a Weatherby Vanguard composite stock for...

    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    After 40 years of using a .270 Winchester for Big Northern Whitetails, I had toyed with the idea of a .280. The 7mm bullet selection is vast compared to .277. When I saw the new Howa Superlite introduced last year at 4 1/2 lbs, I decided to try one in 7mm08! Toped it off with a Zeiss 3x9 , so...

    Buyers beware of Southern Defence!

    Here is their reply about all this! Honestly, we don’t care about your review. You were a complete ass to our customer service rep. You made a mistake and placed two orders and we shipped two orders. Your review and posts mean nothing to us, because this was not our fault. Be sure to send us...

    Beware of scammers!!!

    Update: Stay away from Southern Defence Ammo. Their website is rigged to add a shipping insurance charge. They sent me a 5 box order for exact same order ( 10 boxes) instead of the 5 boxes I ordered. To include 2 separate boxes to include DOUBLE shipping and DOUBLE shipping insurances...... I...

    Filson quality is gone.....

    I have one that is around 30 years old, used to be my go to for,early King Salmon fishing on Kodiak, in early spring. Old timers all said get a " double mackinaw" you will never regret it.

    Filson quality is gone.....

    My gosh didn't realize that the once great Seattle company is now having their best Wool coats , made In Vietnam!!!! So for $700 you will recieve a jacket made overseas that is NOT the quality your expecting. Horrible to see what is happening in this country. Don't buy one, you will be disappointed.

    Midways C.S.

    Scotty I ordered the correct bullets Speer 100 gr, Sptz/ BT for $22 box of 100. Came out $11 cheaper than MWay..... Great value for a 400BC bullet in 257 caliber......

    Midways C.S.

    UPDATE!!! I am now back peddling! I called an hour ago, asked to speak to a CS Supervisor; He politely listened to my story. When I got to the part about bullets being a " non returnable item" He stopped me and said " that isn't correct" he then told me how to simply go around anymore...

    Midways C.S.

    That is a good idea Mike. I will try that approach. I got a bad feeling their system is against us now, not sure how many items are now non- returnable but, if they are you are whipped before you get started I think. If nothing comes of it, I think I will just wash my hands of Larry's outfit as...

    338-06

    Mr Scotty..... Very nice to see you spending the kids inheritance money! And helping our economy. That is a lovely firearm, in a wonderful caliber! Have had half dozen hunters show up here in Maine, for a Moose hunt, with the 338/06. All of them performed flawlessly ( very similar) to the 35...

    Midways C.S.

    This is NOT good news...... Have always had good luck with Porterfield. Not this time. I purchased 2 boxes of Speer 100gr BT 257 bullets to try on Coyotes on Friday. Upon viewing the tracking yesterday, I clicked on "order details" and to my amazement it showed they had ( by mistake ) shipped 2...
