    Which 7mm cartridge is the "best" poll?

    I am a diehard 7mm fan! It probably is because a Ruger in 7mag was the only big game rifle that my father owned and that is what I learned to shoot with. Now being older I find that I keep purchasing rifles in many different calibers for big game. I have used many different calibers to hunt...

    Purchases On AH References

    Had a great buying experience with @crossfire3006 on some ammo carriers. They look great and I can’t wait to try them out. The communication was great.

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    I can understand and respect your opinion. I think it’s what the 243 always wanted to be, it is also the caliber that I took one of my biggest deer with. The shot was about 65 yards and he didn’t go far at all.

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    I have owned 3 different ones in my lifetime but the one I have now is the one I am going to stick with. The first 2 were Weatherby Vanguard's that shot under 1 MOA. The one I have now is a Weatherby MKV Backcountry 2.0 and in addition to being accurate it is a delight to carry.

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    I would throw in the 240 WBY as well. I have killed several deer with the round and it has worked wonderfully. I actually use it more often than my 257 WBY or 6mm Creedmoor.

    Fly Rod Advice

    That is a true statement. I also say that you should have several of each weight in different lengths and actions for different circumstances.

    Fly Rod Advice

    I would recommend the SAGE foundation kit. I feel that in the 5 wt it offers everything you could possibly need or want for a lifetime of fly fishing.

    Federal's 7mm Back Country - What is your opinion?

    I think that it is interesting but not something that I would buy. I have several 7mm calibers right now and don’t know where it would fit in. For most of my hunting my 7mm-08 would work. If I want to stretch it out then I could use my 280 rem, 7mm RM, or 7PRC. If I feel like shooting targets at...

    Is your scope as good as your binoculars?

    I have a lot of scopes from low end Vortex to Swarovski Z5s. None of them compare to my current binoculars that I acquired several years ago (Swarovski 10x42 NL Pure), and probably never will. I find that I use my binoculars probably 100 times to every one time I use my scopes, so that is where...
