That may be true, but you CAN numb it for a bit with a good whack by a 2x4...

That's awesome! Congrats to you and Meghan!

I'm another fan of the Remington semi-autos. Learned to shoot trap with one as a kid in '74, cycled thru a number of different over-unders thru the years, finally realized that I don't shoot any of them as well as the 1100, so "returned to my roots" with another 1100 a couple years ago and had...

Guy -- I went down the exact same path that you are (planning a fast twist .223, bolt gun, dual purpose rifle for range and varmints,...) a couple years ago and ended up with a .204 in a Ruger #1. The tipping point on which caliber to go with for me was shooting distances. I felt the .204...

Found this guy in the dark this morning, and then had to wait him out until it got light enough to see if he had antlers. I was pretty sure he was a buck hanging in the brush by the river, but wasn't very confident he'd stick around long enough for us to find out. Just as it got light enough...

I'll second jimbires recommendation for the Burris Signature rings. Those offset inserts are a great system or taking care of your problem. I've got those rings on 3 different rifles now.

My daughter and I will each be carrying a 99F in .308. One's a '57 vintage rifle and the other came off the line in '59.

Nightforce has never made my short list of scopes when I've been in the market for a scope (great scopes, I've just never needed all the bells, whistles, and durability that Nightforce provides at Nightforce prices) but the NX8 has been at the top of my wish list since early spring. I'd love to...

My understanding is that "cast" is a stock parameter that is mainly used to get proper eye alignment down the barrel while keeping the butt in the shoulder pocket w/o having too much (or too little) cheek pressure on the comb. It can be a mixed bag regarding recoil however, increasing or...

I've got a 9.3 x 62 in the very same action and found bolt handle clearance with the ocular to be more of a limiting factor than the safety. The current large ocular scopes make that challenging.

You might take a good look at the crown if you haven't already. A couple years ago I had a rifle that inexplicably starting throwing bullets left and right (moreso than up or down) and found out that I had managed to mess up the crown. Each successive shot would change the burr on the crown a...

I could probably stick with the Savage 99s from here on out and be perfectly happy, as well as fill all my practical needs. (.22 hi-power, .243, .308, and .358).

Here's an interesting development.... http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/mar/22/idaho-moves-ahead-with-possible-grizzly-bear-hunti/ http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/environment/article210861274.html Never expected to see the day (in my lifetime) where a hunter could legally take a...

Jamila Very cool, and nicely done! Safe travels. (And keep showing up here -- your experiences are very foreign to most of us, and your re-telling of them is the closest a lot of us are likely to see your world. Thanks.) -- Mark

My daughter is 12. She's good for the 12" plate at 100 yds shooting prone and kneeling, but hasn't hit it yet shooting offhand. She's getting fairly comfortable and proficient at cycling the action after the first shot as she's re-acquiring her target, so I expect her hits shooting offhand will...

I don't play with open sights much, but do shoot off-hand quite a bit. When I set up my backstop/bullet trap I laid it out for hanging steel plates above my target so whenever my daughter and I do any target shooting we also do some offhand shooting. I've got 12", 9", 6" and 3" plates down...

The good news is that it doesn't appear that he misses too many meals...

I started our daughter out at 10 years of age with a .308 shooting reduced loads in a Savage 99. Great combo for a beginning shooter. Earlier in its life my Dad had cut the stock to install a recoil pad, so by removing the pad the length was perfect for her. She loves shooting that rifle...

Mine is the 9.3x62 in a Mauser action.

You might look at the Vortex Razor HD line (particularly the 22-48x65). They seemed to find a really high level "happy medium" among all the factors that most people are looking for in a spotting scope. Great glass, very user friendly eyepiece that is easy to get behind, extremely usable mag...
