So this is my first go at digiscoping but I picked up the Swaro ATC 17-40x56 this spring for backpacking and then the other week got the ollin snapshot for it. We took a road trip over Beartooth pass and thru Yellowstone, amazing drive first of all. Got the opportunity to try the scopewith the...
Just picked this leather machine up at a good price, should speed up some of my leather projects. Now i just have to make some dedicated room in the shop, and maybe even get the other leather supplies out of the gun room, it started taking over when i got back from Calgary.
Took the dog for a walk, thought I'd look for some sheds and see if there were any spring bears yet. No sheds but came across a few tracks, wrong type of bear. Sure was nice to get out
Trying to stick to my "not buying a gun this year" but, the local gun classifieds has a Ruger Hawkeye 30-06 in a Hogue stock for sale for $500 with a box of ammo and a new in box unmounted Vortex diamondback 3-9x40. Now I am not looking for a 30-06 but I have been, and with recent talk on the...
The wife and I got out for a nice Sunday drive today, it was a 200mi loop, I wanted to check out the Madison Valley which is a big winter range around here and see how some the big game animals handled the winter. We were able to see some antelope was hoping to see a few more bucks, whitetail...
Specificly for hunting, What do you have? What do you like, what have you learned? What do you ultimately use?
I think this evolves with everyone and depends on hunting style, location, and game, I know it has for me.
I will start by where and what I hunt, most all of my hunting is in Montana...

So what do you do when working up a handgun load? Same as a rifle with a ladder test? What are the pressure signs in a revolver?
I've typicaly just been plinking and shooting steel, I would take a safe load between min and max and use that, or 38+p in a 357.
Now I have the garmin and want to...
It started as an Accumark and I changed out the stock making it Tacmark-ish. I've had it for a while and havent even put 10 rounds through it so going to play the game of musical scopes. What are your thoughts on a replacement? not in a terrible hurry to get a new scope on it, would like to stay...

Bit of a long story about how all the sudden a puppy was added to the house, but i guess it just comes down to timing. Meet Maiddder (Mater) the DDD is Dad's Darn Dog. He's a standard poodle just over 9 weeks, brought him home yesterday.
What is your preferred bullet for taking game with a handgun? I just picked up the garmin and have started to think more seriously about some testing and doing a handgun hunt next season, most likly for whitetail.(and no Ernie, not one of your type of handguns :)) Choices I do have...
