I’ve been looking at the BRX1 rifle from berretta. It’s. Looks very similar to the blazer r8 but at a much more reasonable price. I’m thinking about picking one up in 300 win mag. Anyone tried one? Anyone have any opinions on it?

Had a difficult moose hunt this year. It has been a very wet fall. Trail conditions have been pretty poor. I took a week off for a long trek in to a spot I’ve been hunting for years. It’s a long trip back on SXS, almost 20 miles to the area we set camp. There is a particularly nasty...

I’m struggling to find an optic for my 416 ruger. I’m looking for a low power variable with 1-2x on the low end and 6-8 on the top end. There are a few options in this range not too I’m not that impressed with the available reticles. Many have complicated Christmas tree tactical...

I had been planning on picking one of these up since I got rid of my 16” 308. I picked up a nightforce 2.5-10x32 expressly for the purpose several months ago. Killing time at the local sportsmans the temptation was too great. Took it to the range today and was impressed with the handling...

I picked up one of my bucket list rifles today. It is a Desert Tech SRS A1 with 26” 338 lapua barrel. It’s going to replace my Christensen MPR 338Lm. With the only 1” less barrel length at 39” the SRS IS MUCH shorter than my Christensen that was 50” long without the suppressor and 57”...

I picked up a ruger 77 in 416 ruger the other day. It cans in the hogue stock. The guy I got it from had taken it to Africa and used it a fair bit here in. Ak but just didn’t have need of anything this big any more. I found a takeoff ruger guide laminated stock on eBay that turned up to be...

I traded a 629 for a NIB Chiappa wildlands in 45/70. I’ve always wanted a win 1886 clone so I couldn’t pass it up. I am pretty impressed with the fit and finish of this rifle. I would have liked it to have a more slender forend, but it’s pretty comfortable. I grabbed a couple of boxes...

A buddy of had to have this rifle that I had built a few years ago. Sadly he was unable to find re26 so he never even put a scope on it the last two years. His needs had changed so he asked if I wanted it back. He needed a short barreled 308 for hogs and deer so we swapped barreled actions...

I have been going back and forth on what glass to put on my fast twist 25/06. I had been kicking around a couple different options. A 2.5-10x42 NXS or a vortex razor Hd LHT were on the short list. In the interim I had a trijicon 3-9x40 on it. The trijicon is an excellent scope and I loved...

We had a few days left before my buddy laves state so we ran up towards Denali for a quick bear hunt at a place I regularly see bears at. We got up there about 4pm and ran up to a nice high looking point to set up camp. I was putting in the 4th corner tent stake when I saw a black bear...

I just got back from a successful moose hunt. I lucked into a nice spike bull on opening evening. The weeks of rain left the trail conditions in very poor shape. It took us several hours to get out to where we were hunting. A lot of getting stuck and winching out of mud holes. We finally...

I took my recently rebarreled NULA 24 in 25/06 to the range today. I loaded up some 115gr nosler ballistic tips and 125gr hammer hunters. I started with 55.5gr of retumbo with the 115gr noslers. 55.5gr got me 2940fps and 56gr got me 2970fps. I was getting slight ejector marks on the...

After playing with one at a buddy’s house last weekend I had to get one for myself. This is honestly an extremely fun little extermination tool. I have racked up a pretty impressive body count in the last few days. A fly can be surprisingly difficult target on the wing.

Found a deal I couldn’t pass up on a local classified the other day. A tikka t3 boar hunter in 338 WM. I had a buddy pick it up for me and the guy selling it said he only shot it a few times cause it kicked like a mile! The Boar hunter has a 20.8” barrel and really nice express rifle...

I picked up another rifle chambered in a misfit cartridge, the 325 WSM. It’s a Winchester extreme weather. I’ve always thought the 325 was a very well balanced cartridge that deserved more interest. As a big game cartridge it sits right in the middle of a great performance window. With...

My dad passed away earlier this week and I had came down to Michigan to help settle his affairs. One of the things I’m doing is shipping and selling off his gun collection. I’ve ended up having to ship up to Alaska 6 handguns and 8-9 rifles. One of them was his pride and joy an old SXS...

I had a bad night the other day. My hunting buddy has a fire in the camper he has been staying in and Disney make it out. It also started my other buddy’s house on fire. These guys are closer than brother’s and have been excellent hunting partners and friends for several years. I...

I happened across a Smith & Wesson 627 performance center 8 shot 357 with a 2.65” barrel. This makes it the twin to my 629 performance center 44mag. This one has had the hammer bobbed and slicked up. It’s still got the wood grips, those will need to be replaced. I’ll be ordering a set...

It’s been many years since I was home during deer season, probably 12-15 years. Dad has been getting older and can’t really hunt by himself anymore. I took the week off to come down and hunt with him in Michigan. My sister had put up a bunch of trail cams for him and he had been seeing...
