PETA People Eating Tasty Animals

I bought my first R1 with high grade wood in 2002. It was beautiful. It fed ammo flawlessly. The best I could do with groups at 100 yards was 2-2.5". Taking is apart for cleaning was easy but it lost zero after reassembly even though the scope was not attached to the barrel. The triggers are not...

Sold pending funds.

For Sale - Leupold Fire Dot, Hunt-Plex, VX3-HD, 30mm, Matte. Leupold SKU 180628. $479.00. This scope is in superb condition. I bought this one last year, May 2023, directly from Leupold & Stevens. I took it to Africa hunting in June 2023, and it accounted for 8 animals, 8 shots. My media pics...

TX_GreatPlains, AKA:Bryan, is great to do business with. I just completed a transaction with him. He is absolutely honest and trustworthy. He is the fastest shipper I have done business with. He gets my highest recommendation, which I rarely give out!

I would like to get 100 .270 WSM brass. I recently bought "Bertram" brand .270 WSM and the primer pockets were not drilled deep enough. Very poor quality control and they won't answer their phone to seek a remedy!

I use Leica Geovid 10x42 for primary, I take Zeiss Victory 8x25 for ultra small lightweight to cover travel and tourism. More important, for me, than the bino is the method of carry. I use Rick Young Outdoors harness for all binos (wife's too). You can swing them out of the way into a underarm...

I use my Winchester Model 70, .375 H&H for deer and Elk and Hogs. I load the Speer 270gr. BTSP at 2660 fps. It has the same trajectory as my .308, pleasant to shoot, accurate, and puts game down "DRT". It can also be loaded up to .30-06 velocities but I see no need.

I have 2 scopes in QR mounts for my .375 H&H model 70, both fixed power. Leupold FXII-Ultralight 2.5x duplex, and FXII- 6x42 duplex with 200yd, 300yd dots. These scopes have been utterly reliable and are spot on when swapping in the Leupold QR mounts. My favorite is the 2.5x, it is so small and...

Some of the negative statements regarding Hornady quality is quite baffling to me. I have competed in Bench Rest and Hunter Rifle ( light rifle sporter class 6x ) since 1978 and have won my share of matches. Most of my wins and best groups were with Hornady and Sierra bullets. I weigh all of my...

The .280 Remington is a superb cartridge that does not get the cedit and WOW factor it deserves. A very versatile cartridge capable of being loaded with very flat shooting high velocity lightweights such as 120 to 139 grain bullets, all the way up to 175 grain Nosler Partitions which can handle...

That is well said Forrest. I'm in agreement. My point was back in the 80's the shotgun was touted as a great tool, and it was not. Now they have been replaced with quality, accurate semi-auto rifles (M4, AR, etc.). By the way our agency armory serviced thousands of guns every year. We had a...

I spent 35 years as a Law Enforcement Armorer, Firearms trainer and Officer. When I first started in 1980 we trained on, and carried Remington 870's with 18" barrels. And our duty carry was OO buck in the magazine, with slugs on hand. We qualified at 25 & 50 yards. The buckshot hits at 50 yards...
