    Big bore Shooting range

    A relative near my farm, had this style stand fabricated by a local welder with 2 3/8" drill pipe, available here as oilfield pipe, no longer used for drilling. Many ranchers build corrals for cattle out of these pipes. Heavy as hell, just move once on a trailer to your range. Depending on...

    DG calibers/energy laws versus rifle competency

    I understand and agree we don't need more hoops to jump through. Practice is a fleeting thought for some people, the below comments about the PH needing tell a hunter to "reload" speaks to the proficiency factor. What I see at the local ranges (not a substantive sample) just astounds me...

    Ruger New Model Blackhawk 41 Magnum

    Very nice Blackhawk. For the single action aficionados, a great revolver, just reload and shoot.

    Indulge me...Ruger no 1 thoughts.

    My next dream project is to rebarrel/ rebore to a 26inch barrel in 450/400 NE (a Ruger No. 1 .220 Swift may be a good donor), weighted and balanced at the hinge pin, to 9.5 pounds, tungsten shot strategically JB Welded in the forearm and buttstock. An XS ghost ring rear peep, and a NECG banded...

    DG calibers/energy laws versus rifle competency

    The current thread on the 9.3x62 for dangerous (thick skinned) game has set me to pondering. Many great hunters prefer the 9.3 due to extra magazine capacity, lower recoil for a fast second shot. Many are accomplished riflemen and women, with a 9.3x 62, and PH's evaluation of field use, by...

    The fit of the Ruger #1, for me at least, is critical in calibers above 375 H&H. My first Number 1 was in this caliber, fit me well (an older 131 series) and was pleasant to shot. I was hooked. I've since owned .30-06, .270 .35 Whelen, for the mid calibers. Moving up, I owned a .416...

    Bringing 2 guns on a dangerous game hunt?

    Thinking the same. Practice with your rifle leads to competence.

    Mossberg Shockwave

    Your Mom has good taste in firearms. Your other posts with S&W revolvers is great. I shot my 870 with 3” magnum 00 buck one handed, once was enough.

    Chinese mine causes environmental disaster in zambia on the kafue river

    Thank you for the scientific information. Very informative. As in the Chinese food industry, it’s probably the same that for some, scientific details of substances in products, and by-products, are just a hindrance to profit.
