Just plain old Vaseline........

The .270 is the cornerstone of deer calibers, about a perfect blend for that body weight. And of course J.O'C. helped it along with his writings. However others tryed to discourage high speed small caliber cartridges! Old Elmer Keith said when asked about the .270............ " Ar it's an OK...

I have written about a hunter we had about 12/15 years ago. He was NOT a hunter but had inherited his Dad's 742- 30/06. His father had dreamed of hunting Moose in New Foundland for 30 years. Unfortunately he never made it. After he passed the sons kids put in for Maine moose permit for many...

LoL, 🤣 Back in the day the guides used to refer to scoped rifles, as having a "TV set" mounted on top of the receiver! The worst was a set of " see thru mounts" those combined with a cheap scope/ poor eye relief; was one of the biggest ' buck savers' ever concocted. Only thing worse than a set...

JD, When I was a kid 1/2 of the old time guides around here; were still lugging either an old model 8 or an 81 Remington usually in 35 Remington! All of them considered it to be fine on Moose or big Black Bear. It's funny to me that over the years, now everyone needs twice that horsepower to...

That's a great load too! My load is NOT hot at all and I am sure I could get very close to 358W factory numbers but I am NOT going to bother, 2350 fps with a 200gr bullet with a 358 diameter will knock the snot out of any Whitetail Buck that ever lived! And since I will Not be firing at them...

Lol, I was so darned impressed with the 20 ga. I have since ordered a 12 ga/ 28" barrel one with walnut stocks for $115 !!! Same price as they were in 1970's. They come with MOD choke only, so I ordered an extra full Turkey 🦃 choke for longer shots. $20 off eBay.

This sickness is cureable! First step is to simply get interested in shotguns....... Very easily cured once you begin to invest in fancy shotguns, ( no money left over for crumie old center fire rifles! The sickness is self inflicted, you are not actually born with it ,as many will suggest!

Saw these model 101 for sale dirt cheap, this model comes in lots of gauges, barrel lengths, has screw in chokes. This one is a total of 20" long folded! So it fits right under the front seat of my truck, in my pack baskets, duffle bag, baggage in the airplane, the quality is amazing for the...

Troy, That's as good as it gets! Funny how you remember certain things, one of my fondest memories of my Dad that I will never forget; was because he always got up first, at our Lodge: He would have the coffee on and bacon 🥓 frying on the grill every morning, when you came down. I can still see...

ST, That peep sight did not come with the 141, it had been sitting at my shop for years. I ordered it for a guy that never picked it up! I think I paid $30 for it about 2000/01 ??? The 35 Rem is a real sleeper for a reloader; I am shooting 200gr bullets 2350fps (2450 foot lbs 😲) with LVR powder...

Well to be honest my old 141 in 35 Rem is very capable of dispatching ANYTHING in the Maine woods at short range. And it has better balance for me. Plus I still have my old 742 Carbine, that has less than 10 boxes of cartridges thru it since 1973. It's been luged hundreds of miles over the last...

Gosh Scotty, Just give it up! That looks exactly like the shelf's in your garage to me! Holy smokes you are well endowed with everything. I knew you said you were well placed for components, but that is amazing. Nice pictures!!!!! Of course I am kidding. E

I would NOT look past the Hornady 110 ELD-X for a all around bullet for the 25-06 either and have my 25-06 loaded with them for shots out past 300 yds when wind is over 20 mph X-wind. That is very common here on the lake where my Coyote bait is placed. The BC is so poor on the lightweight...

It is kinda interesting; the uninformed public, is so totally fascinated by someone else's personal idea: That a gun with 3.5" shorter barrel, is the only right choice? That it will command such a huge premium??? Since collector value, is of almost no concern to these "tracker decipels". Paying...

Well a bullet that is and was superior to the Hornady in lots of ways that is often over looked is the old Speer 120 gr. It has a proven track record for 40 years. Has outrageous high BC. But it doesn't fit the bill of coming in a fancy box with foil lettering or in quantity's of only 50...

Well let's not forget the age old saying "A fool and his money will soon part" Lol E

It's a pretty localized fad at the moment, there are a lot more buyers than there are good guns for sale. The fact they are much less out west, confirms this. However now that folks are aware of crazy prices. Guys that had no intention of selling, are now offering them a ridiculous prices; and...

Yes but even though they claim to have free shipping thru the 28th, I noticed they don't honor it with SPS. (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！I don't tink so!

Quote: What has happened to old fashioned woodsmanship and stalking skills, coupled with the ability (ethics) to NOT take a risky shot? Great question, sadly it has taken the same path as the DoDo bird..... Today the modern hunter is much more likely to show up with a big MAGNUN rifle ( he...
