    How do you carry a sidearm while hunting?

    I like the shoulder holsters or chest rigs under my outer garment, I think it is easier to get to and doesn't get caught on anything, I'm usually carrying a 6_ revolver or a full-size semi

    Looking for a new 6mm

    Going that route, I'm seeing $1184 with 26" threaded barrel, $1414 with a trigger, and I would still need bottom metal and stock or a chassis, putting the cost comparing to a complete unit at retail. Thanks for the link, I will keep that in mind. I was talking to a buddy today and I think we...

    Looking for a new 6mm

    I have the Howa 6.5CM that I just need to figure out what I'm doing wrong at 600yrds, shoots great at 100-400yrds and then falls apart, I got sidetracked with medical and family and need to readdress that problem, I've been playing with the 22lr and enjoying it and put the CM on the back burner.

    Mossberg lever action .30-30: Why discontinued?

    My friend has one chambered in 30-30, shoots very well, he picked it up used when he was hunting a 22lr lever action when levers were cheap, $250 for both. We had a lever shoot recently and someone had a Savage 99 in 308 so I can say I've seen one. My first lever was purchased in the mid 70s for...

    Looking for a new 6mm

    Thanks for the reply, I can work on my load development for my 6.5 CM and use it for a while until I can put a little more in it, maybe I can hold off till black Friday, I will be watching for sales on scopes and mounts to pass the time:)

    Looking for a new 6mm

    Do the other brands offer sales or are they a set price? I was hoping to stay around $2500 total or should I save a little longer to pick up a better rig?

    Looking for a new 6mm

    I saw that Aero offered the Solus Competition recently on sale for around $1500 and have been looking closely at it, Then I noticed the Bravo and it goes on sale for around $1200 and I kind of liked the stock but I realize the chassis has advantages, Then I get an Email showing the Browning for...

    Looking for a new 6mm

    I've been thinking about a new target gun, there is a local range 600+ yards that does a monthly competition (move and shoot) they call it a sniper shoot. I currently have a Howa 1500 6.5CM in a chassis that with a little time I feel I could compete BUT I've been wanting a new 6mm (I gave my 243...

    Looking for new cleaning kit

    I have a drawer dedicated to cleaning supplies on my workbench, the long shallow top drawer with containers (from COPD inhalers) to keep everything separated labeled with size, I 3D printed a holder for cleaning rods but need to find another print or a new place to store them since they are...

    = Verified with PV/Alliant customer service = Alliant to suspend canister powders significantly - Time for comparable powder substitutions again

    I purchased some Shooters World powders a few yrs ago when it was priced a lot less than other options, yesterday I went back to check on a little more, what they had was priced the same as Hodgson, Vit. and IMR, $45-50, and not what I was hunting, Tactical Rifle, I thought I had found something...

    How much ammo do you have in your favorite caliber?

    During the shortage I had enough 22lr that my dentist called and ask to purchase some so he could teach his kids to shoot, I took him a bucket of Remington and still had plenty. His kids think I'm the best ever since I've taken them to the range with their dad a few times and let them shoot...

    Home Defense Shot Size

    also look closely at the label on the box, there is a difference between #4 BUCK and #4 SHOT. For home defense I just use regular shell instead of magnum shells since I shouldn't need to make a long shot for self-defense and a 2 3/4" shell will cover my house from one end to the other.

    An unusual reloading setup? Single stage for sizing/decapping, RCBS Auto Prime, Dillon 5 stage to finish

    I helped a friend years ago get into reloading with a Lee Classic Turret, he chugged along for a few years and then purchased a Dillon ??? for his pistol, last weekend I saw him and he now uses a Lee APP to decap and size everything before cleaning and then uses either the Dillon or a new Lee...
