Great article on Accurate Shooter about what makes an upper accurate. The article is by Robert Whitey and can be read Here. Of course high power competition accuracy comes at a price. There are countless mid-range uppers from many manufacturers that shoot sub- MOA with good ammo, and they run...

I have over 5,000 rounds of once fired Lake City 5.56 compliments of the mag dump/tacticool Timmy/speedy shooter crowds. Keep it coming. What's not to like?

Really? That assumes the Dick's in your area has it in stock.

Four inch Smith Model 57 back in my revolver days. Mostly in a shoulder holster when horse back in Grizzly Bear country. Replaced it with a 4" Model 29.

I don't recall ever shooting a big game animal standing without support. I haven't practiced "off hand" in years. OTOH, I shoot a lot sitting with sticks. Different hunting conditions out here.

I have several 20 round GI mags from back in the 1960's. I recently replaced the springs with the heavy duty Wolff springs and they are as good as new. Still using the original followers.

I shoot off of a bench quite frequently, especially when working up loads and confirming ballistics dope. Right now I am arm wrestling with a .204 Ruger that refuses to shoot much under an inch. For my needs, a varmint rifle that won't shoot under .5 MOA is pretty much worthless. For big game, I...

There's your answer. You can call the state office in Cheyenne at (307) 777-4600, or the regional office in Sheridan at (307) 672-7418, or if you are hunting near Hulett/Sundance you can give the local warden (Chis Teter) in Sundance at (307)-283-1276. If you haven't already done so, take a look...

I live in the most ultra-conservative part of Wyoming. A state where open carry has been legal since statehood. Heck, Wyoming doesn't even require a CCL (for residents) and we were shall issue before that. The vast majority of the population is gunned up to the hilt. Still, it is extremely rare...

Beat me to it. As for OTM pistol ammo, it's all over the place. USPSA Open shooters blast away with "Hollow Points" all the time because the jacket is crimped in the front so gasses don't vaporize exposed lead on the base of the bullet. Makes for lousy self defense loads because they are not...

I live in Wyoming and I shoot thousands (literally) of rounds every year at p-dogs, tactical steel, etc. out to 1000 yds and beyond. I also hunt big game. Obviously, to hold for wind you need to have really good dope. Distance is easy, but you still need accurate dope. How far do you want to...

How many deer would you have to shoot to pay for the cost of the new CZ while saving the cost of the wasted supplies? ;)

I have several CZ 527s and I think they are great little rifles. OK, they are fantastic rifles. I also have bolt rifles in 6.5 CRDM, 6.5X55, and 6.5-284. I aso had a 24" upper from AA in 6.5 Grendel that was just nuts accurate with 107 gr. SMKs and 123 gr. A-Maxs. No way would I ever do a 527 in...

I recently switched from .260 Rem to 6.5 Creedmoor. I do a ton of long range p-dog shooting. Sunday I went prarie dog hunting and to be honest, there is no difference between the .260 Rem and 6.5 CRDM when I am shooting 95 V-Max, 107 SMK, or 120 A-Max. When the wind comes up I switch to 140...

Here is a link to the video H&H Hunter posted in his thread on proper response to a lion attack. Pretty cool video. Lion Attack
