    American Idol Star Under Attack from PETA for Hunting

    If Morgan Wallen’s career didn’t suffer much for his controversy, I don't think this will affect Will Moseley. Dave is right…

    Pretty Cool Day in Central Texas

    At work in Grand Prairie, spent about an hour outside watching the progression. One of the coolest things I’ve seen. Dark enough for all the outdoor lights to come on.

    How severe is the damage? My house burned once and there was nothing that was salvageable.

    Italian doubles?

    I talked to the Rizzini representative at DSC this year. He said they had no double rifles to show, no rifles coming, and didn’t know if or when they would get any.

    500 Jeffery Club

    I joined the club Saturday, shooting 4 rounds through mine. I’m not sure anything could survive a round from the .500j, my shoulder almost didn’t.

    28 gauge youth?

    Beyond some exceptions, it is legal to use a .22. Common practice when shooting turkeys here is to headshot them when using a rifle.

    28 gauge youth?

    You inferred incorrectly. I stand by what I wrote. Look at the picture. She isn’t physically ready yet. Axle, bring your daughter and the .22 to Texas. Y’all can hunt turkeys here together.

    28 gauge youth?

    Rookhawk, I said nothing about age.

    28 gauge youth?

    Wait. There is a reason you can’t find a shotgun small enough for her. She’s not big enough to hold the shotgun or handle the recoil. You’re setting her up for failure. She will get thumped and not want to shoot anymore. Take her and the .22 to hunt things you can hunt with a .22. Go to the...

    Wanted Pre 64 Model 70 Or Sako 85 In .375 H&H

    I agree on the new Winchesters. Had 4 now and they all work. I think it was Tony458 that had ejection problems with a Sako 85 in .375 H&H. Kept hitting the scope and falling back in the action. My 85 spent 6 months at Beretta to solve its ejection problem.

    Wanted Pre 64 Model 70 Or Sako 85 In .375 H&H

    I would stick to a .416 Rigby in the Sako 85. Lowest chance of ejection issues.

    Opinions please: Pros/Cons of .375 Ruger vs .375 H&H

    I’d suggest forgetting about either and going for a bigger DG rifle. Your .300wby puts out about 4,100lbs ME. I’d skip the .375 which has about the same energy and step up to a .416 Rigby, .458wm, or .458 Lott with 5,100-5,800lbs ME.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I remember the crash in 2008. I had a friend that put most of his money into used gold Rolex Presidents. He paid no more than scrap value. Figured he had something more than scrap and if not, he’d would just melt them down. They don’t always go up.
