    My Hats off to Hornady

    In historical context, it means ”well armed” or “well equipped”, not regulated in a modern interpretation which some read as government oversight. The first part of the sentence is simply a justification for the second part, which is the intention of the amendment. Language, both syntax and...

    257 Roberts vs 25-06

    I am switching from the 257R, to the 6.5CR. Thought it would be fun to actually learn how to shoot long range properly and use all the fancy stuff that you can get on optics these days. Have a 4x32 NF going on a Fix. Should be good from varmints on up here in the US.

    Wilbur Smith

    Great author as others have stated. The Courteney series is a must read and will keep you entertained for months. I also enjoy his Hector Cross series which is new in comparison. A lot of hunting, just not if animals!

    Wide Foot Boot ideas?

    No, it’s this one: https://www.courteneyboot.com/product/courteney-tracker-brown-hippopotamus/ Pain in the ass to get with the US supplier but I was surprised how much more room they had than the safari pair they sent for sizing. Maybe check with Westley Richards to import to the US.

    Wide Foot Boot ideas?

    This has not been my experience with my two pairs. Mine are trackers so the model may make a difference. Mine seem to have a lot of vertical space above the toes which is great if you want to wear thick socks. I run in zero drop minimalist shoes so my feet have splayed quite a bit over the...

    Hunting Whitetails with dogs in the South?

    Grew up doing this in GA and FL but we did it in a “controlled” manner, one large “head” of trees/thicket/swamp at a time. Lot of fun but takes discipline and I wouldn’t do it with newbies or people drinking, that’s for sure. More like pheasant hunting than feeder deer hunting.

    257 Roberts vs 25-06

    I really wanted a quarter bore and debated between these two as well as the weatherby. After tons of reading and analysis of rifles available, I went with the Roberts in a repeater action from Cooper. I couldn’t be happier, though I’m sure the others would be just as grand.

    7x57 manufacturers

    Cooper and Dakota both make rifles in 7x57 in or close to your price range and can be had with open sights. I plan on getting a rifle as you describe as well. Mauser and Rigby make some great guns but if you think they’re expensive check out Purdey, WR and Hartmann who will make you one exactas...

    Frigid Rigid is a much better product than Yeti imo, and contrary to popular beliefs, the inventor of this class of cooler. They’re not cheap but are built in the US. http://www.frigidrigid.com/

    Not sure what you’re looking for but the NRA has quite a few safety programs including some discussed on this thread like school shield where they work with the school districts.

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
