    Hunting knives recommendations?

    I'd buy him a dedicated hunting knife and you can get really nice knives even custom for a lot less than what you thought you might spend. I would buy 3 or 4 good butchering knives for use on cattle and keep them seperate just for that. All my grandfather who was a butcher used to use was...

    Which bullet for 308 and Elk

    Either Accubond but if it was me which it is not I would use the 150 gr. Accubond in the 308 over the 180 gr. Both will certainly work though.

    2026 Wish List?

    This is not Nosler but Leupold. I am hoping that they just made changes and upgraded these items, but this is what I wish for from LEUPOLD. 6x42mm fixed power scope. No idea why it was discontinued, but it is an excellent scope. I hope they bring it back and when they do put a crosshair in...

    Best Tasting Animal?

    It's hard to narrow it down to just one from the game animals I have eaten, but this is my best shot at it. Pronghorn antelope / elk : tie for BEST - They both are just fantastic. I might hedge towards antelope as being number one if I had to. Bighorn sheep - I have only had a small amount...

    Another leather project

    If I get reports that there are bison out of the Park and I'll be headed down I sure will. So far nothing has came out and they need more snow and cold.

    Another leather project

    Boy I'm beginning to think I need you to make me up one of those 4 ammo cartridge belt holsters for my 30-06 and would also work with my 6mm Remington. That would be pretty sweet to use if the bison start coming out of Yellowstone before February 15th so I can go down and try and find one...

    280 Remington

    140 gr. Accubond would also be a great bullet for whitetails!

    280 Remington

    I don't have my 280 Remington any longer as I had a 280AI built and I sold my 280 Remington. I really loved the 280 Remington also and I shot 140 gr. bullets in it using IMR4350. Out of my 700 Mountain Rifle with the 22" barrel I was getting 2940 fps with that load. It shot great and killed...

    Ovis Outfitters - grizzly bear hunt - evaluation

    The outfitters told me that they have taken several bears in the 20-24 year range up there which would be ancient for an Arctic Bear.

    Another leather project

    Slimmfinn you should look into getting your daughters each a Ruana knife for next year. Better purchase it now as Mike & Mark Hangus are looking to retire. This company has been family owned since it started in 1938 with Rudy Ruana (grandpa) making knives in the same shop still used today...

    Current Production 280AI Rifles

    My Winchester Model 70 I have built into a 280AI has a 24" Shilen Match Grade barrel on it 1-9 twist. It shoots great. Heaviest bullets I have used have been 140 gr. Partitions and Accubonds. I know the same bullets in it except for being 160 grs. would work very well also. That's probably...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    Can't wait to see it in action. There are powders that I'm sure would be faster than IMR4350, but it's worked for me for a lot of years. I shoot the 100 gr. Patition with 43.4 grs. of IMR4350. 3170 pfs. I've shot a few 90 gr. Accubonds out of it as well and they were really accurate and...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    I own a 1B in 6mm Remington and I love that rifle. It shoots very well and with the 26" barrel its a screamer.

    Christmas Rifle List!

    I think it's about time that Lipseys through Ruger should commission a run of Ruger #1's with a 24" sporter weight barrel and a 1-8 twist in 6mm Remington. This is the 6.5 ManBun they are chambering currently. Build it just like this with this beautiful wood stock and a nice sporter 24" barrel.
