12 APR 2024 – It’s Friday morning, just after 3am and I’m wide-awake lying-in bed…thinking of what I may have forgotten to pack. Might as well get up and pass some time scrolling AH. It’s going to be several hours before IGS arrives to pick me up. We are heading to a friend’s house about 2 hours...

Shotguns are unique, each one is like a fingerprint. The difference is that this "fingerprint" can change significantly depending on a myriad of factors. Barrel length, choke, payload, shot size, shot speed...the list goes on. I've even seen two seemingly identical shotguns shoot very different...

Seems simple right? That's what I thought. Those of you who know me will recall that I'm a huge fan of the Benelli SBE3 with its inertia drive. What I didn't know is what I was missing by not shooting a gas gun. It started with the purchase of a used Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus (gas drive) from...

Vortex Razor HD 10x42 almost no use. These are replacement binos sent by Vortex after we broke a set during a hunt. It wasn’t long after that I stopped using them altogether. No soft case, just the binos. $100 Leupold Pinnacles 10x42 heavily used. Not sure when we bought them, guessing early...

I’m in the planning and packing stages for another goose hunting trip to NY with my friend, known to the internet at IGS. For those who are unaware and to recap from last year, this is a conservation goose season from the 1st to the 25th of September. Bag limit is 15 Canada goose/person/day in...

To the ones who didn't come home, you are not forgotten.

I'd like to know what other members are using for optics on their shotguns and for what purpose they are intended. This is my journey thought this minefield and how I made my decision. For every need there is a proper tool. Most recently I have purchased a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun for home...

I recently picked up the March/April issue Safari Magazine (official publication of SCI) that has been sitting on my reading table for some time now. As I read through the articles, I came across this picture with a caption at the bottom left side. The adjacent page showed the PH (Gee Watts of...

We've just purchased a Pulsar Helion 2 XQ38 (demo) from Euro Optic. This is not a "clip on" that goes at the end of a scope, it's a monocular to be used for scouting. Examples would be locating turkey on the roost in the evening or looking into a field before walking to a deer stand. It could...

I've been looking at a fast .25 caliber cartridge for a while now. The front runner for me has always been the 257WBY because it's wicked fast, deadly, low recoil and most importantly it fits nicely into the MA bolt head I already have for my Blaser R8. Here is a list of the most often used...

In the interest of growing knowledge and sharing I have a battery question about my Z8i scopes I'd like to share. All findings and results will be posted for all to see. I own three Swaro Z8i scopes and like most things with electronics, they need batteries every now and then. The 1-8x24 was...

I ran across this video on YT and would like to hear what the membership thinks about it. The guy filming says "cool", but I suspect his response would have been different had he been mauled.

I will be doing a Goose hunt with a good friend in NY. For the purposes of internet anonymity, we will call him IGS. The two of us have been hunting, fishing, motorcycling and doing wood projects together for nearly 10 years. He has a place not too far from me in VA and another house on a lake...

I've been following the YouTube channel of TGS Outdoors (with presenter Jonny) for a number of years and have learned a good bit about shotguns as a result. Jonny partnered with Longthorne Gunmakers in Northampton, England to make a custom boxlock O/U for sporting use (2021) and more recently a...

Jim Shockey Gen 3 Tall Tripod Trigger Sticks w/ Scabbard For Sale $100 and buyer pays shipping. A friend of mine bought me this for my birthday because he thought I'd like them. Little does he know how many sets of shooting sticks I have. No matter, my loss is your gain. Cheapest I could find...

WTB Federal Black Cloud TSS BB&7 Ammo (Part# PWBTSSX142 7BB) I have a good supply of the 3&9 version of this for Duck I found at Rogers Sporting Goods for a reasonable price. I've been looking for the BB&7 to use on Goose but have come up empty handed. I'll be sending an email to Federal to see...

I'm not a fan of cleaning in general, never have been. If there is anyway I can get it done in a more efficient manner or do less cleaning, that's what I want. For this reason I have used the Break-Free brand CLP for just about everything, believing it to be the "best"...up until now. I ran...

Like many, I hunt all kinds of birds with my shotguns. Up until recently I've been using lead or copper coated lead for everything except waterfowling. Since 1991 waterfowling has required nontoxic shot and for a long time this has meant steel. Steel being less dense than lead required the...

This is not mine and I have no part in the sale, I just saw it was a good deal and wanted to let the membership know. I ran across this about a week ago and it's still out there. This is a crazy good deal. The safari stock and 458WM barrel alone are worth more than the asking price. This would...

Say what you want about this guy, he's having a good time. Today he's taking a poke with a 375H&H single shot, breech loading pistol.

I was having a text conversation last night with @TOBY458 about some R8 rifles & parts for sale on Gun Broker. The deals were incredible! Fortunately neither of us followed through on these, because later today I received a call from @TOBY458. These postings on GB were in fact a scam. They were...

Nothing in the "shotgun" section about shotgun maintenance & care? Shocking to me considering the number of members I know have some of the most elegant, beautiful and OLD shotguns. How do you care for yours is the short question... Everyone has their own ideas of what it means to take care of...

After owning and shooting 2 Beretta 686's (matching 12 & 20 bore) both with 26" barrels, I sold them recently. The reason for selling them was simple, they didn't fit me well and it made shooting them not so much fun. I have resigned myself to using my Benelli SBE2 on the clays range and for...

I recently sold a bunch of knives (thank you AH members who looked and bought them) and as any proper AH member, already had in mind what my next one would be. So before the funds could hit the bank, I purchased a Smith & Sons Brave with Natural Micarta Scales. Fits my hand well and is now...

Did you ever look around and notice (or be told by your wife) exactly how many knives you have? Well, it happened to me recently and I’ve been tasked with thinning the herd to knives we use on a regular basis. If you have specific questions about any of them, I’ll be happy to answer. I’ll accept...

It happened at a Zoo during feeding time. The handler remains as cool as can be. The bystander who jumped in really helped in getting her freed up quickly. Good to see a video like this with people helping complete strangers. It restores my faith in humanity.

Internet ammo prices are a bit insane at the moment. I'm not looking to take advantage of the current trend, merely unload something I will not use. I've recently sold my 416RM rifle and have over 200 rounds of ammunition available. All of it is factory loaded. Remington 400 grain Swift...

My wife and I are not big computer people. That's to say that we don't mind living without them for a while. It doesn't bother us to not look at our cell phones, computer or even television over the course of a weekend and think nothing of it. However we also know that we are in the minority...

I have just noticed a new SAKO has been released...the S20. Available in a variety of calibers from 6.5CM to 300WM. Personally, I've never owned one. But I've heard some very good things about their previous models. Like to know what others think. Check out the website here...
