    Hats on safari

    I wear a wide brim hat on most of my outdoor adventures not because it's fashionable, but because I take care of my skin. Two years ago I had MOHS surgery to remove a large patch of skin cancer from my right temple about the size of a quarter. Not especially painful, but it did leave a nasty...

    Recommendations for a range revolver in .38 Special

    An excellent choice, with the bonus of an adjustable rear sight. Let us know how it shoots.

    Recommendations for a range revolver in .38 Special

    Have you considered a model 10? If it's something that family members will shoot often, the smaller grip might be a good idea. In any case, a good revolver just isn't really mine until I've found a nice set of cocobolo grips for it. ;)

    Politics

    I understand how old it is in principle. My point was that left wing pundits cry about 1 thing done by Republicans, but forget the 100 things done before and after that by Democrats.

    Politics

    Patently false, and a common Democrat tactic. Democrat majorities in Congress, as well as Democrat Presidents have passed plenty of laws that violate the Constitutional Rights of Americans before and after Reagan. These include, but are not limited to asset forfeiture laws. THIS is what I refer...

    Politics

    This is called the law of unintended consequences, and it's the primary reason I despise leftist politicians and Democrat voters.

    Hunting in fog

    I've noticed the same thing myself, especially eastern Whitetails. If the corn is still standing and you have a calm foggy morning, that's the best time to put the sneak on them. ;) The only time I can really think of being forced to wait out the fog is if your only option is to locate...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I'm with you on this. Very nice looking rifle. In some ways Weatherby rifles, along with the Colt/Sauer and Golden Eagle rifles were great looking when toned down just a tad. Graceful lines, but a bit shiny for my taste. Semi gloss on both wood and metal actually added to the beauty in my...

    Merkel double .375 value?

    Have a good friend that asked me what this rifle is worth, and if he should buy or not. I have never seen this rifle other than the pictures he sent. The story is the owner bought it some time ago planning on someday going to Africa, but passed before that happened. NIB never fired, paid 20k...

    Understanding The Phenomenon Of Jacket-Core Separation

    I've seen plenty of what some might describe as a failed projectile, but often still resulted in a rapid kill, sometimes not so rapid. Broadheads that snapped in half when even light bone was struck, bullets that expanded to wide, to rapidly and failed to penetrate vital organs, etc. Even one...

    Dakota 76 in 330 Dakota buy or pass

    Good news. The rifle is still available and comes with a set of RCBS dies. Bad news. The gun store owner informed me that the remaining brass and ammo were separated from the rifle and sold.
