Jim, My first hunt in Colorado was 1999 and the person behind the counter asked for my Driver's license. She checked my DOB and said "you're good to go" My hunting buddy who was considerably younger than me had to show his Florida certificate (which was valid in Colorado) He was ok'd also. Just...
Jim, if you're in the market for primers and you have a Bass Pro in the area give them a yell. I picked up 1000 Federal small pistol for $59.95. The Mag primers were about $3.00 more. Saves Hazmat and shipping.
You are definitely not limited by your scope. All I have ever used on my .338 RUM for Elk is a 1.5X6 I have never felt a need to go to any more power. My elk have been taken with the Scope on 4X and one with the scope set on 6X.
For that kind of money I would look no further than Randall knives. I own five from a long time past (before they tripled in price and you had to wait five years to get one). You can find them at gun shows at a somewhat reasonable price in excellent working order. They will handle any job you...
Very interesting comment. I'm 81 and my shooting habits have basically changed over to handguns. I'm still qualifying on a yearly basis for my HR 218 and both that and just plain having fun takes up my time. I've hunted deer in Maine since 1960 and with a couple of side trips to New York state...
Guy, Quick question, Have you checked with any of the local PD's yet on getting recertified with the HR-218. I had good luck with our local Sheriff's Department. Initially tried our local men in Blue but they lacked the manpower to assist.
while we're talking primers I was at my local Bass Pro on Sunday and purchased 1000 Federal small pistol for 56.00. They listed for 60.00 but with a military discount the price was less. Seemed like a very good price.
I originally had planned to put a Schmidt and Bender on my Rem 700 .338 Ultra Mag as all write ups on the scope were very positive. Along the way I took a look at the Zeiss Diavari 1.5X6 and after a lot of thought (it was on sale) I decided on the Zeiss. I find the glass equal and repeatability...
Sierra made quite a run of 225 grain Pro Hunter bullets in .338 Caliber. I took a number of Elk with that bullet and was very impressed. I'm not sure whether Sierra continued their manufacture.
I live on the Central East Coast of Florida and believe it or not we got some excellent photographs of the Northern lights. Very rare phenomenon as they don't normally show up this far south.
Agree with you on Greece Fotis. I had a good friend who grew up in Greece and raved over the seafood. I was born and raised in Southern Connecticut on Long Island Sound and by the time I reached teenager status I was SCUBA diving and bringing Fish and lobster home on a weekly basis. Never had a...
I'm running a 2012 F150 4WD with a 5.0. I've spoken with a relative who has worked at the Ford plant for a good number of years and his comment was the 5.0 is the best motor that Ford has ever produced. It is also one of the oldest models and holds its own against all other production units...
Thank you for posting that comment. I tried Accubonds in my .338RUM and could not get them to shoot to the accuracy level I was looking for. The partition on the other hand did an excellent job both in the accuracy Department and the Elk Department.
