    How many guns is “too many”?

    In my view I guess it depends on why you own guns. -If you are a hunter, I could see about a dozen, so you have a range of sizes plus a few shotguns. -If you are a sport shooter, you need a couple for each discipline you are in. So maybe 6-8. -If you are a collector, there is no limit, as...

    The 47-70 has not, and never will, be a 458 win mag

    Firstly, I know this post is going to cause a fight, so those who are so inclined, grab your popcorn now! Seems silly to type this, but I keep coming across the threads about hunting DG with a 45-70, and invariably I find the same comment: “That’s right on the heels of a 458 win mag” “That’s...

    Bullets that well advertised but were not that great

    For me it was Barns bullets. I find they spike pressure worse than other mono metal bullets, and have had them just needle through game without expanding, that was from a 7mm rem mag which has more than enough velocity to expand any bullet. The new copper expanding North Forks are far superior IMO.

    The name of my smith is "Jakob Strasser" his website https://jakobstrasserltd.com/ He is the guy doing the metal work on this Oberndorf, and who has the blanks. He does good work, he did all the metal work on this custom Krieghoff Drilling for me, and inletted/roughed the stock so I could do the...

    375 H&H Bullet for all Game

    I would make an argument for the north fork cup point solid. It will give you deep penetration on a buff, and a wound channel that splits the difference between a soft point and a mono solid. I used them in my 500ne and they gave me slightly large than caliber holes into and out of game. So if...

    Indulge me...Ruger no 1 thoughts.

    I have not read all the replies, so apologies if what I am typing has been spelled out by others. But! Here is why I love Ruger no.1's. 1) There is a certain appeal to a single shot. I think it relates to the idea of the commitment to accuracy, to use single shots in the field is to say: "I...

    Well Gent's, It seems that this bad boy is the clear winner. Who says democracy is dying in the west?!?!? I talked to the smith who has it, and the blank is fine, he is going to use a stock duplicator to cut out the inlet for me, and leave the rest of the stock rough, and I can play with the...

    What do you do for a living?

    I work in IT. Currently as the IT Director for a medium sized company. I kind of thing what you are asking is: "What was your path to success" I used to be broke as hell. I rented a literal crack shack with a couple buddies while I was in collage. What it takes to succeed is time and effort...

    They say it is never okay to beat someone, but there are always exceptions. Your step son seems to be an exception. I have yet to have issues with any of my guns with humidity hunting here in BC, and living on the west coast. But when I built a safe into a closet I cut the door short, about...
