In the same vein as the other “favorite” posts, lets talk about our favorite handguns! Lets say one single-action revolver, one double action revolver, one semi-automatic and one rimfire. Single-action for me is kind of a tie. If I could afford an original Colt Bisley, it would undoubtedly...

I have owned rifles in .257 Wby Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, .300 Win Mag, 8mm Rem Mag and .375 H&H Magnum that qualify for this discussion. My favorite all-around cartridge based on the H&H case is the 7mm Rem Mag. Although I don’t currently own one, it to me is the belle of the ball for the kind of...

For me its probably a toss up between my Winchester 1892 .25-20 and my Winchester 1894 .25-35. My Savage 99 .300 Savage gets an honorable mention. I’ve killed the most stuff with the .300, the .25-20 is the funnest and cheapest to shoot and easily the most accurate of the three. I will give it...

I killed my first few elk and a couple of deer with a Remington 700 BDL I used to have in 8mm Rem Mag. Dad had one too, we loaded 220 grain Sierra Gamekings and shot them for everything. Darn good load. Sadly poor bullet selection (pre-.325 WSM back then) and limited brass supplies caused us...

I love a lot of cartridges. Here are a few. .25-20 WCF - everyone ought to have one. I recently killed two beef steers with extremely close range head shots (86 grain factory ammo). I also load the 60 grain Hornady SP and shoot squirrels and chucks with it. Fun little gun! .25-35 WCF - With...

.220 Swift for me too. Were I to hit it big I would have the folks at pre64win.com make me one of their Pre-64 elites in .220 Swift. Do a gopher special “sightless” barrel with the dog knot, 1-8” twist on a 24” sporter barrel. That way I could use 50-55’s for coyotes and chucks, and load up the...

Of the .308 based cartridges I would have to say .243 and 7mm-08, and in that order. But the .308 itself is a fine old cartridge that is still plugging along.

The one’s I have the most experience with are the 7x57 and 8x57 and fine cartridges that they are I would have to say the 6.5x55 has won me over. Such a little sweetheart to shoot. While I don’t currently own one, I would love to remedy that. The .303 British and 7.62x54R are fine cartridges as...

Like Guy, I am smitten by the .30-06 itself. They got that one right and it just keeps getting better with age. I didn’t start out with it but I bought my first, a New Haven Model 70 Classic Stainless when I was 18. It was the first rifle I ever saw that had a matte stainless finish on the steel...

Congratulations JD!!

Scope or the mounts would be my guess. Although usually (at least in my experience) a scope just throws random shots all over the place when it goes kaput. The consistent vertical stringing with several different load combos is definitely worrisome.

Do you have dies? I have a set of RCBS FL dies I would send you for cheap.

A Model 70 is always a good score. Had a Remington 700 SPS in .270 WSM back in 2004 or 2005. Loved the cartridge but that rifle was a piece of $#!+ so I sent it down the road.

I’ve not had good luck with them either Don. I always have to do a proper sight in off the bags after using the sled.

Beautiful gun, beautiful view!!

I knew I liked you Bruce! I’m a Winchester and Colt man too but I would have to expand my Winchester dates to include 1937-1963, 1991-2003.

Do you carry a revolver or something semi-auto these days Don? I love a good .357 Magnum!

Nice! But not sure the Gun-giving Goddess might not turn you into some kind of slimy reptile for trying to trick her into giving you a 4th gun! 😂😂😃🤦‍♂️

So if the magic gun giving blonde goddess Danielle (or whatever name you have for her) was to appear at the foot of your bed at midnight, hovering a foot or so off the ground and grant you three gun wishes…what would be your three? One rifle, one shotgun, and one handgun. The rifle is the...

They’re yours Don. Sold.
