    Ruger old model 77 sells for more than current Hawkeye African sells for!

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048594009 I like the old tangers as well as the next guy, but this makes no sense to me at all. You can buy a NIB Hawkeye African with CRF, longer barrel, two stock bolts and probably a better pad for less! I dont get it.

    Winchester Model 70 Alaskan .338 Win Mag, Later Model

    I didnt think I would ever sell this rifle, but I just dont see where I will be needing it and have several calibers that will do should the need arise. I have spoke of this here before, but its a very fine rifle in all ways, accurate reliable, great trigger and one of the smoothest actions I...

    Range days sometimes go poorly...as in Ka Boom!

    Had my first catastrophic failure today in a .30-06 Mauser 98, the Churchill of recent acquisition, Sorry @Hunter-Habib! Put a few sighter fouler rounds thru it, no problem. Started to shoot a mild handload, first shot KaBloowie! Rifle is toast, damage to the bolt, lug recesses set well back...

    Capstick carry in the movies!

    Was watching an old movie today with Robert Mitchum, Jack Hawkins and the lovely Elsa Martinelli called RAMPAGE. Just a fair movie, but I noted that early on Elsa and Hawkins were carrying their rifles in Capstick fashion, rifle to front, strap to rear. I had never seen that in a movie before...

    Steyr Mannlicher Classic 7x64

    Finally got this home last night and began the process of cleaning, didnt need it, taking the rifle apart to basics, interesting process and learning about it, unusual in some ways. Rifle uses the SBS, Safe Bolt System used since the late 90's I believe. The newer ones are a bit different I...

    Any idea what scope mount this is?

    These bases are mounted on a Steyr Mannlicher Classic rifle, and I have never seen such before. I dont have the rifle in hand. Trying to figure out what rings would fit or if I will need to go another route. It looks like the screw spacing is standard, but I will find that out later. TIA

    Nice deer in the neighbor's yard

    This big 2x3 blacktail was scoping out the neighbor kids 'construction site' today. This is a big bodied deer for this area, being the western Washington version of the mule deer, usually not very big. Week ago there was two 3 pointers up the street munching away.
