Many years ago I read that the scope that you put onto a rifle should cost the same as the rifle. But for me and with close to 60 years of hunting experience here in the western US I'll stick with my Leopold's. They have never failed me in snowstorms, rain that was blowing sideways. From early...

I asked myself that same question about my 340 Weatherby, my answer was that I'd use the outfitters/PH rifle and ammo

Don't let the Consumer Product Safety folks hear you say this.

My first hunt I took 60 and shot 20, my second trip I took 60 and shot 30. Both trips I took 4 verifying shots at the range. But both trips were different. The first one was for 8 animals and the second was for 12 with one more animal that I put down at the property owners request. But I...

The recoil isn't going to be as much as the 375 Ruger since it shoots lighter bullets. If you want it buy it, then put a suppressor onto it which will reduce the felt recoil and quiet it down. With the #1 being shorter than it's bolt action counterparts it would be ideal for a suppressor.

That is just what all those protesters were doing back in the 60's and early 70's when they were dumping gasoline on them and setting themselves on fire. A self cremation.

I haven't had a paper/cardboard ammo box in over 40 years. All I have used for my ammo are the plastic 20 round holders inside of a locked MTM box and haven't had any problems. I do take some foam and cut it so that nothing is rattling around in the locked box.

You mean that this isn't just a rant about Leupold and the new caps that they put on their electronic scopes?

The nice thing with the tree idea is that you can place it in a corner or along a wall. And with you being in the military and quite likely moving around it is quite portable and can be set up just about anywhere.

It is best for you to find a alternate powder. As long as the war in the Ukraine is going on you won't see it since it is a major powder for military ammo. I just wished that i had picked up the last jug of it that I saw a couple of years ago. It was quite expensive but it would of lasted...

It isn't the idea that a child would have access to a firearm with a scope that requires batteries. The regulation is for items all across the board that have these batteries, scopes just happen to be one of the items that has batteries and requires a "child safe" cap.

Skull Hooker has a euro tree that you can purchase. I plan on building one out of a piece of cedar 4x4 that will be around 7' tall for my euros. My only problem is that I haven't gotten around to it yet, way too many projects.

Yes the 38 WCF is the same as a 38-40 and is loaded with a .40 caliber bullet and not a .38. It was based off of the 44-40 cartridge

Air travel is so much fun. Even when everything goes right you are still miserable. At least they upgraded you.
