The Trijicon SRO is a beautiful thing. There is a hallow around the dot at higher intensities and I find the lower range seems more precise. It takes a little getting used to the dot wandering out of the optic if you are not directly behind the pistol. Two factory loads, 240 grain Winchester...

Welcome to the forum, you are faced with no bad choice. If significant temperature varitaon is not a concern the IMR 4350 would be a proven load. If you are hunting with a much lower temperature when you are hunting the 4451 might be a more stable powder. If you are not shooting at long range...

Dr. Mike, just confirming that our government, (ALL PARTIES) are idiots. Plato — 'Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.'

Dan, I would second the Encore with something in the .260 rem, 7mm-08, or .308 version. The one I had and traded in a couple years ago was the .260 Rem. with a custom, i think 1:8" twist barrel topped with a Luepold 2.5 - 8 VariX III scope (old scope from the 80s). It was light, easy to carry...

Gerry, Congratulations on a very nice bear, and thanks for sharing the story. Were you able to call for assistance to transport the bruin to camp? How much residual body fat would your bear have compared to one taken in the fall? Good luck filling your second tag after mentoring the young...

Personally I would consider a Pachmayr slip on recoil pad. I have put one on my Ruger Number one in 30-06 which has the original hard rubber recoil pad on it. I perceive a significant improvement in felt recoil while preserving the original pad for the next owner to enjoy. The slight increase...

Very Handsome Bear Guy, and looking right at you too.. I was of the notion that spring Black Bears had scruffy coats but the photo dispels that for sure. Thanks for sharing.. Rol

Beautiful subjects and photography Guy.. Thanks for sharing. This morning I had an avian experience of a different type. We have a large flowering crab tree, which the birds like to perch in. It is adjacent to the north side of our house where I like to park my truck. Recently, much to my...

Are you de-priming as you resize? If so is your expander button high on the neck of the de-priming stem? I have found improved concentricity using a de-primer die as a separate step in reloading. After reading some about the whole reloading process I switched to sizing the necks with a...

Nice find in the freezer. and looks like it was prepared very well. From my limited experience I have found limited, if any, freezer burn on game meat stored in the freezer for over 12 months. My objective is to enjoy it long before that time, but reality does not always equal objectives. Stay...

Last fall i had the pleasure of a call from a fireman friend who had been squirrel hunting with his mother and he invited me to a family get together with roasted squirrel as the main course, with a little red wine on the side.. :grin: Firemen are noted for culinary skill and my host is no...

Congratulations Scotty, Very Nice Father Daughter outing... Thanks for sharing.. Rol

WOW, Rams and Eagles within 20 miles of home... I am jealous. Thanks for sharing. Any further thoughts on that wildlife calendar that someone suggested?

Beautiful Guy, I always enjoy your photos.. Thanks for sharing. Rol

Thank you for sharing a beautiful photo Fotis.. It reminds me of sunrise in North Dakota. Witnessing a moment like you have is a great way to start the day. Rol

Dan, I cannot speak directly to their sense to smell corn, but I have personally seen where they paw through the snow to locate acorns under oak trees. Knowing their sense of smell to detect humans it would be a good bet they can smell kernels of corn under the snow. Rol

Thanks for the responses Guys. The Trijion SRO is what I have my eye on. SWFA has the best price that I have found so far. Have a Good and Healthy day. Rol

Good luck with your project. Please share photos before and after. My father used boiled linseed oil thinned with turpentine as a finish on cherry furniture that he built. I think he decreased the turpentine as he added multiple coats. Slow and easy will produce a beautiful result.

Recently I purchased a S&W Model 29 with 4" barrel to replace a Ruger Redhawk of the same caliber that I had traded for another firearm. After 6 very successful and enjoyable years this year I had decided take a break and not to venture west to hunt Montana. This leaves me with a new to me...

Looks real nice Guy, it will be nice to see your pictures as the seasons progress. Our soil is too moist and cold to plant yet. I am in the process of transcribing my Grandmother's notebook and among the pages I found this: "No garden for me, for me, Last year all I grew was tired". On a...
