I have one or more of all the major brands and feel like they all make good stuff today. So the dealer is what makes if I buy brand X or brand Y. Around here I feel the Suzuki dealer is the best so that is what is on the boat I use most. My 200hp is about six years old and has been flawless. I...

While I like having a lot of each guns pet load done and ready to go there is a down side to it. If there is a new wonder bullet that you want to try and it works now you have a bunch of loads you might no longer use.

Good trick I will give it a try.

I just picked up an Arken 7x35x56 Gen2 34mm and am wondering about mounts. What height and brand would you guys use? Will be going on a 25-06 used mostly at the range.

It only makes sense to have a gun built if you really want something special. The new guns are have to beat.

This going to be a 223 with a varmint barrel. I want something with almost no recoil so the women and kids can tag steel at 500 on calm days. Will be 7-8 twist so it can shoot heavies.

Yep my smith said good buy on the action. Best part is now I get to have what I want in the gun. No having to settle for close enough.

Is there such a thing? I picked up Rem 700 in 223 with a Redfield wideview 3-9 and a stick for a stock for $250. No way to go wrong right? Took it to the range and it was easy to see why it was cheep. Long story short it is now at my smiths getting an action job, trigger work and a new barrel...

Being pretty new to this forum I was wondering how folks would react to the threads going on about Russia. I am beyond happy to see that folks here can disagree and still be civil. On many forums if you do not see things one way it becomes non stop insults. There is always two sides to a coin...

Trump was better than the other choice but that does not mean I like or trust him. In the small amount of news I watch he has twice hinted the two term rule might not apply to him. Sort of the same crap his buddy Putin used. And no I am not a Democrat I just have not drank the Kool-aid.

Many are quick to say most of the aid we give to Ukraine is stolen but with no prove. If money is the major point maybe we should start by looking at our congress and finding out they become multi millionaires on their salary. Pretty darn hard to live in one of the most expensive cities in...

No matter the outcome of this war the vaunted Russian army is getting cut to pieces by second rate Nato arms. And Russia is losing the one thing they can not afford to lose that being huge numbers of young men. They already had a huge demographic problem with their birthrate and this is not...

I am the odd man out here. When I retired the alarm clock went for a swim. I have always been a night owl so tend to stay up late and get up mid morning. With our amount of daylight change getting up at a set time is tough unless an alarm clock is used.

It is not unusual for me to not explain things well when posting. Not counting the three duds about half of the other rounds showed sings of the primers being a little high after firing. My chronograph did not show the rounds to be hot. I have not had any problems with factory rounds so this...

I pulled the bullets on the three dud rounds and tried them in my Ruger bolt gun. Two of the primers went off and one did not. All the primer marks looked alike but when looking closer about half of the primers are backed out a little. This gun is used and new to me. I am wondering if I have a...

I was out shooting some PMC 223 yesterday and had three out of 50 rounds fail to fire. That was a new one on me. Anybody else have something like this happen to them? Gun was a Remington bolt gun.

My father was lucky in that he got a free trip to Germany but the war had ended before he got there. His best friend, who had a huge influence on me, was not so lucky. He was a marine machine gunner in the pacific. Got wounded late in the war and sent home to heal up. After he got out he joined...

I use a 35 Whelen for just about everything and so does my son. He does not reload so I try to keep 500 or more ready to go. That way after he puts me in the oven he will have plenty to last him for a while.

Given the larger choice of bullets in 338 I think you have made a good choice. I like being able to use cheap pistol bullets for light plinker loads in my Whelen but if I did not already have, and love, my Whelen I would build a 338-06.

If the gun is biting you in any way you need to fix that. Getting bit when you shoot will do nothing good for your shooting quality.
