I just noticed that Bass pro lists it as model number gm2165 but foodsaver lists it as model 2150. They appear to be the same though. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

I used a cheap old Kenmore vacuum sealer for years with no major issues. It crapped out this spring during turkey season so I went on the search for a new one. I ended up going with a foodsaver. There are a lot that say they are cheap, but the overall reviews are great. I got mine on sale at...

When I first started using my 6mm I started loading 100 gr. Hornady interlocks and I killed my share with them. Some did drop where they stood but I had too many that required crawling around looking for any tiny drop of blood. Now days the kids I take use the 6mm and what really made me look...

I love 88's, 99's, and finnwolf's. I looked for a low priced fixer upper 99 a couple of years ago. Couldn't find a single one, but I did find an 88 in .308 that was in desperate need of some love. The bore was perfect, but it looked like it had sat in a wet basement for years and had at some...

Someone on here was using them and I am sure they will post an answer soon. But don't get stuck thinking that you need to use the heaviest bullet you can find. I think a tougher bullet is more important than the weight. To me... and I know plenty will disagree....the .24 caliber rifles are on...

I didn't get anywhere near max with the 2400 but the fireball was pretty impressive. The recoil was stout but not unmanageable. Years ago I had a few of the original Remington hot loads that they say helped seal the fate of the .41 with law enforcement. Those things were monsters. 8 inches...

This year I finally decided that I needed to work up a good load for my Smith 58. So far I have only tried some 210 gr. Noslers loaded with 2400. With open sights, it's a little tough to get a very tight group, but they patterned decently at 50 yards.....certainly good enough for a deer...

That is a very cool rifle. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk

The kids will be shooting my Remington 600 in 6mm loaded with gmx's over h4350. They are tack drivers in that rifle and really make the caliber shine. I will be using my Winchester 88 in 308 with factory Winchester 150 soft points. Before season ends I will probably take the 6mm out with a...

This is not good news. My favorite 6mm Remington deer load uses H4350 and I hate to have to look elsewhere. Though as little as I reload I will probably be able to find it by the time I need more. I did find this article but it is from May so it might have gone fast...

That is sad....such a beautiful rifle destroyed.

Oh that is a tough call....On one hand I feel guns are to be shot...on the other....that thing is awfully pretty as it lays there!

When I lost my dad the only semblance of a will was what he had scrolled on a scrap of paper he left beside his chair....."Guns-Chris." My dad hadn't shot in many years....a lifetime of providing for his family had taken away something that he once loved to do. During his tour in Vietnam he...

The guy that has permission to hunt the same land I do has one, though I am not sure if it is a 740 or one of the other Remington semi-autos of the era. Helped him load up a doe in the bed of his Jeep Cherokee on Thursday night. He used the rifle (unloaded thankfully....I checked) to prop the...

I did the same thing. I would be happy tagging that deer.

Any opinions on Howa rifles? I see they have a youth package with a scope and it comes with an adult stock for them to grow into. What about Nikko Stirling scopes? I have heard the name but not heard a thing about quality.

I have decided that I need to invest in a new rifle for next season. The best part of deer season to me is taking out the kids. I set a rule from the beginning that they had to be 13 before I would take them. First my nephew, then a friends son and next year both my daughter and my youngest...

I see a 6mm every time I walk out my backdoor! When my Dad passed away I inherited his model 600 in 6mm and it languished away in the gun cabinet until I moved to a state that allows rifle deer hunting. He bought it for antelope hunting in New Mexico after he got back from Vietnam, but never...

One more story. My Grandpa had a guy that he worked with that on the opening morning of Illinois' first modern deer season was walking through an uncut corn field. Someone shot into the corn field at the moving corn and killed the guys dad. Heck of a way to start your first deer season ever!

I have hunted public land, and often VERY crowded public land, for many years now and have never felt I was in danger. Part of that is because I always walked further than most to get away from the idiots. They are certainly out there, but all I can do is take care of myself and what I do and...
