My understanding is yes warranty is still being honored. Yes the model 94 is a good rifle. Its very reliable, and rugged, effectively accurate. Chance of needing a warranty repair is almost zero, but things do happen. As far a cleaning, there is no good reason to fully disassemble the rifle to...

Both myself and my 17 year old daughter are Certified HE Instructors here in Montana...That said, her guns are kept under lock in the safe and only allowed out in my presence. Its not that she isnt safe or I dont trust her. Its just a fact "most" kids dont have the higher functioning parts of...

I use a Dillon 550B all the time...........works very well and accurate.

Letter here's a copy of what I sent to the Judiciary Committee. I reworded slightly for my Congressman and Senators Dear Congressmen: I have been watching in horror as my government has continued to erode my constitutional rights and eliminate my freedoms. I love my country and strongly...

Military ammo cans work pretty good for the military.................

I have "a few" Garands and I always fully disassemble and clean. If the stock is not in cosmoline, I rub them down with a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits to clean and preserve them. I will inspect and replace any part needing repair. Basically I make thems FULLY serviceable...

Last CMP shoot I did, my scores were so low they looked like I didnt finish the match....scored 210. The weather was 100+ and the M1903A3 I was shooting got so hot by the last target from firing and sitting in the sun I literally couldnt hold it. Finished dead last in a match of 60 or so...

Welcome home from your trip. Dont feel too bad, I live in Montana and just got back yesterday from my trip empty handed too.. Got snowed out in North Central MT. so we moved camp to the SE area....not enough snow there to get them moving...........oh well maybe in the next week or so something...

Heck yeah, where I hunt you never know what your going to run into. Or at what distance it will be. I've jumped whitetails at 10 yards bedded, and elk across canyons at 500 yards on the same stalk. My .338 will sure do both equally well. However in the end, shot placement is everything. Too many...

Would have to say my "favorite" is my mostly correct Service Grade, December 1941 M1 Garand

My dream gun............Any handgun formerly presented to the President of the United States..............from any manufacture.!

:cuss: I had a ground blind tent stolen a couple years ago. The a-hole took it and a chair that was inside. Lucky for me he didnt see the trail camera I had overlooking the site. I got a real good picture of him. I'm just waiting to the day I run into this clown out in the woods.............man...

Bottom line, any caliber with a good heavy, tough bullet you can shoot well will do the job. Personally I would NOT concider any round delivering less than 1000 Ft Pounds of energy at the target. Elk are BIG animals, use enough power to do the job. 30-06 class and up are very good choices with...

I have decaped live ones for years with no problems. Thats not to say there is zero danger. Go slow, wear eye protection, and keep powders away all should be ok. If in doubt, fire them or fill the cases with a penetrating oil for a day or so to deactivate them.

skipjack is spot on. I too am a HE instructor. The human eye "sees" the orange in all light conditions much better than nearly all colors. Its a margin of safety I use even when not required.
