    Lighter Recoil...

    I started out looking for a 25-06, the 250Savage just found me sooner. (see my recent post about the 250.) Say what you will, there's a long list of people who think the 25-06 shoot well above its weight for all the reasons noted. Less recoil may be one of them. CL

    Federal ammunition to Czech firm overwhelmingly approved 🙄

    Know and shoot w/ people who work for Federal. Reality is, as has been noted, most our ammo and components are now sourced outside of this country. Between the EPA and the profit margin- the future of the sport and our rights are being sold over seas.

    Origins of my 250 Savage obsession - remembering John

    Writing briefly to share about the passing of my wifes uncle. John went home to be with his Lord about a week ago. Back about 1987 I asked him to help me look for a rifle, as I wanted something in .25 cal and they were a lot more common back home in SD. He knew I needed something with minimal...

    The Beast is ready

    Extinction- perhaps...excavation for sure. Just aim at the top of the hole and that thing will move dirt like a D-8 Cat I'm thinkin' CL

    Let's see those long-range hunting rifles!

    Or there's this one. My first real "long ranger" (longer than the Daisy anyway) Circa 1975. Put new seals in her this summer. Wont hold a charge quite like it used too, but still makes me smile. Untold thousands of shots and lots of optimism. . ;) (Image should be rotated a 1/4 turn left.)CL

    Before and After

    Wow! Probably could never afford something like that even if your guy is "reasonable". However may need to get your guys contact info. Will be watching with interest. Good on you for maintaining those old rifles. My friends rifle could use some new the wood work. CL

    Best Calibers For Moose Hunting

    Wonder how many Moose have fallen to a .303 or a 30-40 Krag? There was a time those rifles were behind many a kitchen door.... CL

    .25-20 WCF

    That to me is the definition of eminently capable. To many people expect a TV show "bang flop" when they take a rifle hunting. A .257 cal. 117 bullet at those velocities will get the job done if you hunt close enough and follow up. And the best part....its just fun to shoot! CL

    .25-20 WCF

    Junkie- not trying high jack your thread- I'm guessing you are right - probably was a 25-35. You certainly have a cool rifle there. The idea of an "intermediate" caliber seems to have been lost for many years. The .22 Hornet for example. Capable and easier to shoot and for the time...

    .25-20 WCF

    Interesting - this past week I helped with a "public sight in" at the club. One of the members of the club assisted a young man to get started shooting his great grandfathers rifle. I believe it was in 25-20, (but it may have been 25-35). In any event an old Win. (94 or 86- I didnt see close...

    Best all around load .257 Roberts

    Nice Buck and rifle! 110AB's gotta be a great choice for for the "Bob" if you have an Elk tag. I've got some old 100gr PT's that might work well to. You've had experience with the 250 so you know how the 100gr BT's work. Keep us apprised. CL

    Venison cold cuts

    Absolutely, I eat way too many versions of cold cuts...(daily sandwiches). If I retire that will be rule #1. no more sandwiches for lunch! But, that preparation might change my mind. What a neat idea! CL

    New Vintage Woods Rifle

    Boy that there is a classic rifle. As has been noted that should be great, quick handling rifle. The Luey is a perfect choice. Do you have plans for the Redfield? CL

    This is a deal?

    This just plain has me PO'd. That sort of price inflation will ruin there own market. They can kick me off the board if they want. Who can afford that- or afford to practice. At half that price you'll never get the kids started on the sport. Yes I know .22 is cheaper etc. Not the point...
