My all round favorite is the venerable .30-06. Reasonable recoil, can be handloaded to some pretty impressive levels and easy on the shoulder. I figure the .30-06 is about the most practical rounds out there for the average or casual shooter. If you want to push distance, I prefer the 300...

I tend to stick to shooting multiple guns for the same calibers: .22 LR .22 Mag .45 ACP .45 Colt .45-70 .30-06 .300 Win Mag

If you do a Google search on .45 Colt vs. .44 Mag, you will find many threads like this. This has been debated extensively with very similar well stated arguments. Reading these debates helped me make an informed decision about what my preference was. I currently own a .45 loaded at .335gr. For...

You bring up a good point. Suggest that regardless of whether to go with 44 mag or 45, that grips are looked at. I decided at the end of the day to go with the Bisley grip as it made my 335 gr at 1200 fps to be easier to dispatch than with the plow handle. Again, this is a Chevy versus Ford...

I debated extensively this decision a couple of years ago. You won't go wrong with either, but in the end I went with the .45 in a Stainless Steel Bisley 5.5" convertible. (can shoot .45 ACP as well) Google on the .45 and you will find plenty of ammo out there, including premium loads with...

I'm not big on handguns for bear defense, so I'm inclined towards a .45-70 Guide Gun. You can carry a reasonably heavy load and still be very controllable. The advantage that guns like the .45-70 have is that they don't just have enough power to kill effectively, they have enough power to stop...

Very good question! It's a very old Remington 721 that I was given years ago that has been a brilliant shooting rifle. Nothing fancy, just gets the job done. However, the extractor died on it. We are the process of trying to replace the extractor with an original used part. (very hard to find...

Thanks for that. I found that for the 721 that a 700 BDL stock could be used. One of the biggest differences is the 721 bolt handle is straight down and the 700 is swept back. So I would either need to modify the stock to allow the 721 bolt handle to come down, or I would have to put a 700 style...

Prefer a bolt over a semi-auto. Don't know why the preference, except that is what I grew up with and enjoy the most. Funny that!

How about a budget of $750-1000? I am always happy to spend less though!

I may need to replace my trusty old .30-06. I am curious what you wise sages think is the best all around .30-06 currently on the market? I don't want to spend a fortune for some custom job, but I do want to spend enough that it will be around for years to come to pass on to my children. Any...

bump! (hoping for a miracle!) ;-)

I am looking for a Remington 721 High Comb stock (to have a scope) for a .30-06. Does anyone know if this sort of beast is still obtainable or do I need to look to modify something else?

I am planning to carry my .357 Magnum with me hunting this year as a backup and short range gun for deer hunting. I have been looking at heavy round for the .357 at http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php...duct_list&c=20 The two options are: 180 gr. L.F.N. -G.C. (1,400fps/M.E. 783 ft. lbs.)...
