    Map of public lands to be sold under Senate Bill

    I believe you are wrong. The federal government is to “dispose of land” and that can mean sale. Vince

    Map of public lands to be sold under Senate Bill

    The federal government does not have Constitutional authority to “manage” land once that land is within the borders of a state. They can only manage territories. Vince

    New Kimber 1911

    I like my Beretta 96 in that area. But it’s a little heavier. Heck I like my Beretta 96 just about everywhere. Also have a S&W 4016 that I like to wear if I need a little deeper concealment. I used to be a big fan of the 1911 but have since gravitated to the DA/SA platform for daily carry. Vince

    Why No Love for The .308 Winchester

    The Tree O’ Ate has been proven sufficient over time and acquitted itself well. With that said I’m a fan of bigger bores and prefer the .338 diameter or if going smaller the plethora of 6.5 cartridges. I wouldn’t sneeze at the .308 Win it’s just a little too pedestrian for my taste. Vince

    Africa 2026

    I’m taking my Winchester Model 70, LH, CRF, .338 Win Mag in a McMillan stock that Pat Holehan was kind enough to work on for me when David Miller, since passed away may he rest in peace, didn’t have time. Vince

    Map of public lands to be sold under Senate Bill

    I have no issue with this as I don’t believe that the federal government has the constitutional authority to own land except in very limited circumstances. As most of you know, old timers here, I believe that federal land should belong to the representative states. Federal land is to be...

    Africa 2026

    Here’s what I sent my boss, the scheduler, and HR. I’m not negotiating anything. “ I will be out of the country and unable to work effective 11/18/25 and able to return to work on 12/06/2025. My tickets are already purchased and unable to be changed as I will be in South Africa for...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    6.5 Creedmoor, .338 WM, and .416 Taylor. That’s my 3 Gun Battery. As for the .375 there’s too much overlap between it, the .338 and .416 that it’s not really needed. Plus I’m at the point I’m thinking about calling BATFE on the gunsmith that has the rifle. He’s had it over a year, well beyond...

    Any plans for a new rifle in 2025?

    Re-barrel that sucker into a .338 Win Mag, get a .416 Taylor, and come hunt Africa with me. I wasn’t planning on another rifle but I finally pulled my thumb out of my keister and sent money for a .416 Taylor I should have bought two years ago. Got to thinking about it and it just makes more...

    Nosler Partition for Buffalo

    I’ve found 4350 to be a very versatile powder with uses for many different calibers. If I could only have one rifle powder it would be IMR 4350. Vince

    California residents...

    California has evolved, or is it regressed, to the conditions of New York City. We should just declare it a foreign country, put up a border wall, and let them sink. Sorry to our California members but your only chance is to flee and leave your socialist ideology at the border. California and...

    Deer reactions when hit.

    Deer and pigs have different muscles fibers too. I don’t know if it’s the correct term but we called it slow twitch vs fast twitch muscle fibers. Pigs, like snakes, are slow twitch. At least that’s how it was explained to me. I’ve seen pigs kick for a couple of minutes after being hit in the...

    Reloading Help 25-06

    My $0.02: If factory ammo is sub MOA shoot factory ammo. First rifle I loaded for was the 25/06 and I learned to hate that rifle. It was very finicky and the only bullet I could get to shoot was the 87 grain Hornady varmint bullet. If I recall it was MOA to 3/4 MOA with a stiff charge of IMR...
