When I used to cut meat for a living we used to shoot cattle with a .22mag. Right between the eyes and 2" higher--It drops them all. I only ever saw one big herford bull get back up but he was so dazed a 2nd one in the same spot did it. However, this is from 10 to 30 ft. Poachers like this...

Cosmoline, You mean all-Knowing like you? If your ever in Wyoming take ridge road north out of Ft. Larmie about 20 miles, when the road turns West into the Haystack range turn on the next road you come to about five more miles. Turn West on the next road after the cattleguard with tractor...

Yeah not only are they a lot of fun, and historical, but I think right now they are great investments also. With Winchester going out of business a few years ago antique and/or commemoratives are going up in value. I used to collect coins and still have most of them but they just sit in a box...

Yeah I agree about also having to aim the shot gun and to be more specific, maybe he was exagerating about the law to keep people from using self defense lightly as an exscuse to shoot one. I did see on tv in Anchorage some news clip about someone getting busted for shooting a bear in "self...

Yeah, not only is it an 87grns that were the first to hit 3000 fps, but the caliber is .257. I don't know why they didn't call it a 257-3000 Savage, but they didn't. I guess it's like engine blocks in autos? 100--120 grains on most large game. these still around 2800--2900 fps, 87grains are...

Yeah, I tried letting a cat out of a trap before too--never again.

A fishing guide in Alaska told us the only sure thing for a charging brown (Grizz) was a 12ga. I know its a lot to pack. But he told the big pistol rounds would bounce off a bears skull and may or may not stop him. and A high power rifle would probably be leathal if amied well but it also...

Go back to the Savage99 site you mentioned, and there is a place to enter your serial #s and that will tell you when--Yes they came with birh too.:)

700 remington bolts are very nice reliable guns, I have a .243 and a 30-06. Neither are my favorite coyote killer though. For this I think a 250-3000 savage is the nuts. It's basically the same as a 22-250 but in .25 cal. (.257) I like the lever though I have found it so handy throwing up...

My favorite coyote getter is a 250-3000 Savage model 99. Its basically the same round as a 22-250 in .25 caliber. Maybe not quite as long ranged as the 22-250 but not too much behind it either. With 87grains zeroed in at 300yds it'll shoot about an inch and a half high at 150yds and two...

I was pretty young when my grandpa gave me an old Targetmaster Remington .22 single shot 6 or 7 I guess. boy that baby was dead on too. It was kept locked up for a few years after that. My dad would get it out when I had supervison untill I was 10 or 12 I guess. Probably a good Idea for kids...

By the way, How do you make a set for a coyote that won't catch a dog? I've never caught a dog probably because where I used to trap dogs are scarcer than people unless they came with a person. I know it's not urine because my dogs go nuts sniffing where coyotes have peed. Food would attract...

The only person I ever heard of getting caught in a trap was me in a trap I was setting myself. I don't remember the # but is was the connibear that you usually use for coons. Back in the days when pickup spotlighting was legal and coons were $40+, I saw one run in a culvert, we used to just...

Yeah Palladan was a real badass tv guy, Looked real mean too. My favorite though was James Garner in maverick fast and funny too. My favorite from the movies-- anybody remember these "That's...

My dad was WWII vet and he told me that the military considered the M1 (30-06)a 1000 yd rifle because you could hit the side of a hill at 1000 yds. An 06 is a good 300 yd rifle for hitting large game.

I guess it depends on what you are shooting at. I cut meat several years at a family game processing shop in Wyoming and you cant imagine the damage I've seen done--not just sometimes but usually. We used to prod people by asking them why they shot thier animal in the butt and the belly when...

I worked several years cutting meat in a game processing shop in Wyoming. I grew up with a 30-06 since my dad was a WWII vet and he swore by that caliber, But after seeing so many deer blown to bits, I learned to appreciate the smaller rifles. Personally My favorite is an model 1899 250-3000...
