    Shotgun weights

    Presently I shoot a Browning Superposed Lightening 20 gauge for pheasants. Usually with 2 3/4 #5 Golden Pheasant. Shotgun weighs in the 6 pound range. Also at times carry a Model 1912 Winchester in 16 ga but shoot the lighter shotgun better.

    RUSSIA: Kamchatka Brown Bear

    Well you made it back and you have an incredible story to tell. Hopefully the trophies will arrive someday. I'm glad I visited Russia in the mid 90s, I wouldn't go back now regardless of the reason.

    It's maddening. A small group of self serving individuals within my own party opened the door for the Russians to make this advance. First Biden trickles aid in because he is and always has been a coward. Then the House plays games with the aid package. If Russia makes big advances look for...

    .223 for Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer?

    My Tikka will stabilize the 77gr Tipped Match King and the 77 gr Match King. Shoots either very accurately. If I was hunting these tiny critters and wanted minimal damage neither of those bullets would be my choice. The MK may or may not fragment and the TMK will fragment and create massive...

    The very best thing President Reagan did, was replace Jimmy Carter.

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    I've hunted coyotes for decades. I usually call them which is effective in areas where they haven't been called much. But they are obviously very smart so my success ratio often isn't too high. I've never been a fan of chasing coyotes as many people go bat shit crazy when they're chasing a...

    As a nation we are faced with no good political prospects. It's obvious the current administration is inept and consumed with avoiding anything that is a risk politically. They are led by a feeble, old man barely able to construct an sentence. We know what 4 more years of that will lead to. So...

    Israel reportedly has a missile called the Jericho III which is designed to deliver a payload up to 3000-4000 miles. If they do have such a weapon they might be reluctant to let the world see it as it could be used as a nuclear delivery system.

    Trump is hated by 99% of Democrats, he's hated by a significant portion of the Independents and he's hated by a sizable minority of his own political party. Where exactly is he going to get the support to win? That's something none of his most ardent supporters have been able to tell me. As a...

    So apparently Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. It's going to be an interesting election. Trump will need to garner the votes of almost 100% of the Republican voters to offset the lack of support he'll get from independents. Given the discussions here and the conversations I've had...

    Sadly it appears you are correct. It would be an interesting experiment if there wasn't so much at stake. I'm still betting that the Democrats pull some switch especially if the race looks shaky to them. The question will be which of their awful candidates would they switch to.

    Who exactly would stop him? Germany :ROFLMAO:? Poland would try if they had all the stuff they've purchased recently delivered, but they don't. Nope, it would come down to US forces and all of a sudden the war on the other side of the world that doesn't effect us is a huge problem.

    Political expediency is the defining characteristic of the Biden administration. This obsession leads them to avoid anything that might dim their chances to retain power in 24. Evidently in their view pounding the crap our of some Iranian targets in retaliation for continued strikes against...
