17pt buck, public land, something like a 300 yard shot with a 350 legend. I don’t know how to score a deer and don’t honestly care, so no idea how it officially scores. I’m not really a fan of taxidermy as part of my home decor so the skull is in my garage sitting in a box somewhere Not...

Was planning on buying a M70 safari express this fall, this hurts to see since I don't have the money yet lol. Would love this gun, whoever buys it is a lucky son of a gun.

Oh that sounds fun, what’s the date and city of that? Might be a good excuse to get out of town for a weekend

It might be a steal but for me right now it’s something I don’t need that could be better saved towards a rifle I actually want

Cabelas has it for 550, I think I’m gonna pass. its cabelas website, go for it. I’m gonna pass https://www.cabelas.com/p/101759115

The barrel is unmarked for caliber from the pictures I can see. Going to call first thing and ask about it. What are they worth?

Pretty cheap rifle at Cabela’s, unmarked barrel and action (serialized but no mfg I could find), anyone recognize the action or rifle brand?

federal 215 primers available for 99.99 per 1k at Sportsman’s Outdoor Superstore.

I really don’t get how some people shoot when hunting with 0 hearing protection and claim to “not really notice or be bothered by the noise” I fired my 30-06 once while hunting when I was younger, and decided I would never do that again. I occasionally get spouts of tinnitus, and it started...

Depends, some states have restrictions on the length of the empty case. Those restrictions made the 45/70 banned in those states. You’d have to look up the laws in the straight wall state you hunt to see if the length requirements allow it. 375 Winchester is a neat round

Iirc ADG makes it and is pretty easy to get. I saw some on LRH recently. If not ADG maybe it was Peterson? Can’t remember for sure but one of those two makes it currently

I can actually explain the math on that, the pressure curve in the barrel is very nonlinear up until a certain point. That certain point is decided by the burn rate of powder you are using. After that point, it’s still nonlinear, but it slows by so much it might as well be linear. With very...

Trump lost 9-0 on one case, and 7-2 today on another regarding the deportations with no due process. Even republicans judges side against trump, but then trump tells the media he won (even though he lost in court) The due process that the Maryland man received was that it was proven in court in...

That’s impressive. I’ve only recovered one bullet from the 20-25 deer I’ve taken with 350 legend, and it was a similar circumstance. It was a Winchester deer season XP and it kindof exploded and didn’t hold together at all. Deer went down fine but I like when they hold together a bit better...

If the 30-30 is enough for deer, a heavier bullet going somewhat similar velocity with larger frontal diameter is plenty enough. If 243 is enough for deer in non straight wall states, why is 35 cal considered marginal? Sure it’s going slower but the ammo I shoot is 2200fps, plenty fast. Here is...
