When I purchased my Christensen Arms .300 Win Mag I found the magazine box to be real long and the throat to be real short. I solved the problem with a good gunsmith. Now I can load to 3.600 with all bullets and longer with some of the sleek long range bullets. It did change the performance of...

That's great to hear. I know it was a rough road for him to get to this point. Keep up the testing and now it's time to start getting life back on the rails.

I was fortunate in that my Technician was a shooter/hunter. He set my lenses up to best help me. Tell him what you are looking for.

I'm feeling kind of funny as my list is kind of short: .243 Winchester 7MM-08 30-30 Win .35 Rem 7MM Mag 30.06 .300 Win mag .338 Ultramag .50 Caliber Muzzleloader

I've hunted Deer in Maine for Many years and with good company all hunts are memorable. I do have to say when I started Elk hunting in 1994 it was certainly different at 9200 feet in Colorado than Maine at swamp level in many areas. My hunting buddy of 50 years and I covered many miles of...

At 80 years of age My old injuries have come back to say hello when I do certain things I shouldn't. A motorcycle accident when I was 20 shortened my back of my left leg about 3/4 of an inch which was fine for many years. Now the arthritis creeps in when least expected.

I am using a Zeiss 1.5X6 Diavari for my .338RUM and feel that scope is the best one I've ever owned. A Kahles 3X9 sits on my Christensen arms .300Mag. A Leupold 2.5X8 sits on my 7-08 and has taken a lot of deer. An old Nikon 1X4 sits on my Ruger .44 carbine. (very bright) Binnoculars are a set...

My first deer rifle was a 336 Texan in .35 Remington. That rifle did drop deer. The 2nd was a Win. model 94 in 30.30 that spent a bit of time in the Maine Woods taking whitetail. Switching to Bolts and Semi Autos it was a long time before I came back to Levers. Presently I have a model 94 in .32...

I had a batch of Military cases for my AR that I had just run through a swaging die to get rid of the primer crimp that so many cases have. I then started to seat primers and as usual some primer pockets were tighter than others. I was moving along and ran into a particularly tight primer pocket...

My favorite single action is my old Ruger Flat top 3 screw .44 mag. Had that gun for 35 plus years 2nd gun is a 686 Smith. Carried that gun for many years on the PD. Shoots lights out with a 4 inch barrel Third is either my Sig P365XL or my P226 in .357 Sig. Absolutely love the 226. Made in...

My buddy in Maine had a really nice apple tree (with a fence around it) growing for a few years in the front yard. He took very good care of it and had gotten apples on a couple of occasions. As he does not live in Maine but in New York he drives up once a month and stays for two weeks at a...

When I first started out as a hunter at 16Yrs. of age I purchased a Marlin lever in .35Rem. The second rifle was a Browning A-Bolt in 30.06. 165 Grain Sierra Spitzer boat tails was the bullet used. That rifle took a ton of deer over the years and I still have it. My 1999 Maine moose also fell...

I laughed when I read that comment. Our Cell block was on the third floor and the prisoner had to take the elevator up. A good number of them tripped while getting into the elevator.

I lost a lot of my hearing in the Navy. I was the pointer (trigger puller) on a 3"X50 and I was told by the gunner's mate that my Sound powered earphones would protect my ears. And I actually believed him. I just couldn't understand why I couldn't hear for three days after having shot a number...

Have a 'GREAT' Birthday Fotis!!!!

Reminds me of when I first moved to small town Florida back in 1992. 9000 people which really wasn't a lot in our size town. Two Traffic lights. A caution light on US1 where our main highway (two lane) met it. You could actually lay down on US1 in the summer and never worry about a vehicle...

A good friend of mine purchased his Competitor Arms single shot about a month after I had gotten mine and had ordered it in .300WM. Mine was in 30.06. With the muzzle brake mine was tolerable but the noise was ungodly and under a metal roof it was intolerable. We shot his .300Mag with 180 grain...

If you are shooting indoors make sure you have proper forced ventilation. When I was a range officer on the PD we had a brand new range built with air filters and other equipment that supposedly eliminated the need for ventilation going to the outside. We religiously kept the floor clean and...

Listening to the stories I think about all the hurricanes (and one tornado) I've been through over the past 34 years in Florida. In each and every one I lost power usually for 3-4 days till the ancient Florida Power and Light grid was repaired. I have a permanent spot in my garage for our...

Kayaking is a death wish down here. They sit so low to the water that anything can climb onto it. Two weeks ago we had a lady kayaking in one of our Fresh water springs with a group of people and they spotted a number of gators on the bank. They continued on passing the gators and one of the...
