I just loved shooting peeps most of my life but now at age 69 and having had a torn retina in my shooting eye I need a scope. I just put a 1.75x5 Sitron on my whelen. So far I really like it but will have to se how well it holds up. I spent some time talking about this with the most famous bear...
I have been a 35Whelen fan for over 40 years and have found it to be plenty of gun for anything Alaska has to offer. That being said if I were to build another gun in this size range the 338-06 would be hard to beat. For me the selling point for the 338 is the far greater bullet selection. With...
For years I shot peeps on my Whelen but as my eyes aged I went to a four power Leopold. I kept thinking I wanted less so I just bought a 1.75-5 Sightron and am amazed how clear it is and how fast it comes up on target. It will be interesting to see how well this cheap scope holds up. Most of my...
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.
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.
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.
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...
