    New 45/70 from Santa!

    Thought some may have an interest in one of these Italian imports? After looking at the new Henry's and Ruger Marlins . I decided to try a Pedestoli 1886 imported by Taylor & Co in Winchester,Va. It is a PG Deluxe Extra lite model in 45/70. I wanted a blued classic gun. I am totally impressed...

    Own any rifles you haven't shot?

    I have a Winchester Model 70 /270W that is still unfired it's the 150th Year model. I am guessing that 1st shot would devalue it about a grand!!! E

    Light bullets in the 6.5 Creedmoor

    Have been using the new 90 gr Varmagetton in my 6.5 for the last two winters on BIG Northern Maine coyotes. Having very similar results to my 25/06 with 90gr Blitz Kings. So have close to 40 down with the 6.5 now and 99% were instant kills. All shot from 300/400 yds. One of the very finest...

    My Divorce From Nosler

    Tikka........ Is the short answer. I wore a Nosler hat for about 20 years until I went into Anchorage to "load up" on Bullets in mid 1980's and found they had effectively doubled the price of most of their stuff by simply boxing there low end stuff from boxes of 100 to boxes of 50. I shot...

    Esteemed Members, Please Relay Your Experiences with 7mm Mau

    Had lots of clients show up with 7/57's over the years and it worked wonders on game up to 400lbs with various loads, it is about a 7mm/08 with a twist favoring heavier bullets. Both work super. I would prefer the 7/08 and shoot lighter bullets for deer. For game over 500lbs then with heavier...

    Bass Pro just bought Sportsman's Warehouse

    Just another form of censorship? Buy up all the competition and shut off the valve of supply? Sounds like ALOT like facebook........ or Germany In late 30's doesn't it.

    Let's buy the perfect out west gun.

    When the dust all settled nothing said here trump's JOC's .270 Win for a Western rifle, Magnum rifles are a weak excuse for poor shooting. There is no Elk in the west that can withstand a direct hit in the boiler room with the old tryed and true 160 NP. For over 300 yds the 150 ABLR will fold up...

    Officially Disappointed in Nosler

    Paul, Has this ever been resolved? Sept/ Dec to change a barrel On a new rifle.......... With an obvious upset and anxious customer. If their gunsmith is sooooo overloaded why haven't they hired another one so they can keep up with their work load??? This gun should have been returned back to...

    Restocking my old Model 70.....

    Roger, I called today and they were not real happy to hear from me, again hid behind the fact the photo is infact "generic photo"..... Ultimately guy said 'send it back and we will refund you' And informed me that they are way to busy to mess around checking figure on stocks........ Oh well just...

    Restocking my old Model 70.....

    Bruce Mc, That's an interesting twist, I am going to call them today and see what they are willing to do about it? I hate that run for cover excuse, " that is just a generic photo" baloney. My bet is; they say" simply return it" and I will get stuck with the shipping both ways??? Guess you win...

    Restocking my old Model 70.....

    Thanks for that input Mike, my thoughts precisely! Let's see what the other guys say?? Certainly makes it look totally differently than black plastic! I do hate this "well that's a stock photo" . May actually increase the value as much as the stock cost, not sure?? Adds exactly 1 lb over the...

    Restocking my old Model 70.....

    Well it's in and is NOT the stock I actually ordered they are now calling it a "stock picture". However they also called it grade IV/V wood. Is more like grade II/III on one side and it would be a streach to call back side grade I....... So got till Monday to send it back???? Fits perfectly, and...
