    Signess- I've got it bad

    I tried liking the G23, couldn't get there with it. Sold it to a friend and bought a P229, then traded that on a P320. I also have a P365 that is my EDC, and a Sig 1911 stainless in .40.

    Good bye

    I think maybe that there is some misunderstanding here. It sounds as if the OP is concerned by Trump's policies, and someone PM'd him to express their own concerns. At least, that's the way I read it. OP, while it's certainly your choice of where you spend your time, I would encourage you to...

    Heads up Burris sale!!!!

    I don't know if it's still on sale, but recently Midway had the Fullfield E1 6.5-20x50 on sale for $179, regular $299. I jumped on that for my new 6.5 CM Franchi.

    Need feedback on Vortex scope

    Brad, I checked my son's scope. It's a Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44. So not the one you mentioned. Sorry about that.

    Need feedback on Vortex scope

    Brad, I think that's what my son has on his 7mag. I know it's a Diamondback 4-16x42, but not sure about the rest. It is a FFP scope, I know that. I can check it out and see if that's the exact model easy enough.

    New MS Rifle

    Yes, those MS actions are slick. I have an early 60's MCA model in .30-06, which I purchased from the estate of my sister-in-law's father. He bought it when he was stationed in Germany, then brought it home to Alaska where he used it extensively. My SIL said it was his favorite rifle, and he had...

    140gr NBT 7mmMag

    OP, if you haven't done it already, get yourself a trigger spring kit from MCarbo for your Browning. Really made a difference on my X-bolt. It's as good as my son's Tikka or the Timney in my Mauser. And it's only about $15. https://www.mcarbo.com/browning-accessories

    Look Here!

    I snagged 1000 of those at Academy a month or so ago. Can't pass them up, at today's prices.

    The Hawken gets it done

    Wow, that's a sucky time for ML. After the Orange Army has stomped around the woods for a week or two, the deer are skittish and often nocturnal. Here in KY, there's about a 3-week break between the end of rifle season and the beginning of ML. Allows things to settle down a bit.

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    Competition is a great thing in the marketplace. The Garmin will likely drop to the $400 range.

    Home Insurance

    But is it really a scam? The insurance adjuster still has to sign off on the claim, and then the company has to approve the work and payment.

    .243 85 grain Partition

    When you say that the 85gr GKHP has been disappointing, do you mean performance on game, or accuracy-wise?

    .243 85 grain Partition

    With my .243, I have taken deer with the 100gr Sierra GameKing, 95gr Nosler BT, and 85gr Sierra GKHP. With my loaner rifle, my young lady friend has killed 5 using the 100gr Federal Power Shock soft point. When my kids were young, they killed several using 100gr Remington CoreLokt.

    R92 44Mag - Range Report

    Can't help you with the Rossi, but my friend has a Henry 44 mag and he kills deer regularly with it. Three this fall, IIRC. He's using 300gr XTP hand loads.

    The Hawken gets it done

    So, a little post-butchering update: The doe was quartering to at about 30-35 yards when I shot. The bullet smashed the left front shoulder, traveled diagonally thru the body cavity, passed thru the right haunch, and stopped under the hide on the right rear leg. I don't have the carcass to...

    Yes, she was quartering to.
