Hey All. I took a bit of a hiatus but am back on the board. But it's good to get back on here and start shooting (the breeze and bullets) again. I am in the market for a 7mm-08 for my wife, most likely a youth model. I have been looking at the Savage Axis models for cost purposes, but...

So we went to our local gun shop yesterday. I want my wife to get her own rifle instead of her busting mine up (wood stock etc), plus she was in a car accident a couple of years ago and still has some pretty sore soft tissue injuries, so the less recoil would be good for her. I was thinking the...

I took a drive to the range today and was pleasantly surprised. I'm using 70.5 gr of H4831SC under a 200 gr PT, with CCI 250's and Winchester Brass. I have to it magazine length and was using a bullet comparator. Interestingly enough, the group measured (when I got home, sorry no pic) at...

BC Resident Hunters know or should know that there has been some speculation about the GOABC and the Liberal Party working behind the scenes at the expense of the Resident Hunters of BC. GOABC has given the Liberals donations to the tune of approx. $100,000 and inturn this is what GOABC has...

So while nerding out tonight in my man cave listening to a fishing podcast and tying flies, the guest was talking about fly fishing in Australia. He said that, "when you enter the water, you enter the food chain". I thought it was a pretty interesting statement and thought it could be applied...

Well my wife, kids and the father in law went out for a drive today. Trying to see if our hunting ground is accessible right now with the snow. I might try some shed hunting this year. We took some firewood, and the essentials for a trail side hotdog, s'mores etc. Driving back everyone in the...

Seeing the other Chronograph thread reminded me of this one... http://www.cabelas.com/product/CALDWELL ... 843418.uts Does anyone have one? Price point is nice, the app seems to be a good feature and most if not all give it 5 stars on Cabelas, (which I tend to base a lot of my purchases on).

Here is a whitetail rack from 2010 that I did, Here is the wife's whitetail from 2011. I just finished it today. I know it's been a few years, but I usually save these projects till the wintertime...usually. I am practicing up with small deer mounts so that I can mount her moose antlers...

I know this topic can be controversial, but it has to be done... I would love to hunt them but the terrain around here is so steep, mountainous and thick brushed that it can be hard to find them...

I know the majority here are non Canadian, however think of how this would affect you in your State if the guides just got a huge chunk of permits for non-residents. That is currently what we are facing here in BC. I know a lot of you come to BC to enjoy hunting opportunities and your more than...

This is a little too close for comfort if you ask me. http://www.wideopenspaces.com/room-error-intense-kodiak-bear-charge-alaska-video/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=Hunting :shock:

I needed some new brass and none of the local stores have any unprimed, bagged brass. So I bought a box of Winchester 180 gr Power Max Bonded for the 300 Win Mag. I am going to use 200 grain PT's when I reload, but thought these were alright to shoot esp to just shoot them off, have some fun and...

OK. So I have a 303 British #4 Mark 1 which is sporterized. My wife took it on her doe hunt this year. It came back with a couple of dings and scratches that were not there before. Also, it came back minus 1 swing swivel stud. I asked her what happened and she said it just fell out... uh huh...

A little different nowadays http://griffinsguide.com/content/2014/1 ... otos-pics/

So... I took out my Savage 10TR with what apepared to be a good load. I was reading over a previous post that when I get my bullet comparator, (Which i now have) I should try seating the bullet in by .05" increments and it will really dial in. So i tried that. Holy cow...something was going...

The Vortex thread got me thinking again. What do most use for their target rifles? MOA's or MRAD's? Is there a benefit to either or is it just personal preference? I get the FFP vs SFP thing, just have yet to decide on what I would want in a range finding optic.

Interesting tips to maybe keep in mind about shooting through the brush. http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/huntin ... SOC&dom=fb

Hallelujah! Just went to the local gun store today. "Oh by the way, we just got 400 lbs of powder"... I almost fell over and fainted. Got Nosler06 and myself some canisters. If I had more funds I'd get more, but I am officially tapped out. I don't know about the RL powders...I guess I...

http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2014/may/13/grizzly-killed-idaho-black-bear-hunters/ I took the test. I got 2 wrong.

Well, as some of you know, I have had some issues with 180 gr Barnes TTSX in my .300 Win Mag. After some peer pressure from Nosler06, I made the switch over to 200 gr Nosler PT's. Yesterday was range day with him. I took up 36 rounds of ammo. 4 rounds of each load from 66.5-70.5 grains. I didn't...
