    Scope for a young lady!

    I have a good buddy at work and I kind of adopted his 16 year old daughter when it comes to guns/hunting. We started her off with a 22 LR and she was hooked! I then found her a Savage axis in 6.5 Creed and I worked up a reduced load with the 123 bullet and TAC. I then let her pick the colors...

    Mannlicher rifle

    I have always wanted one of these and I don't know why I think they just look cool. Now have a chance to buy one but I need a little enabling for a lack of better terms. Now I have enough rifles on hand to do the job from squirrels to elephant so I'm not going to be filling a cartridge niche. I...
