Here's a few pics of the stock. Its scratched, chipped and cracked. The reciever has some rust.

I recently decided I would find a project gun to work with. So a couple of weeks ago I picked up a BPS 12ga on gunbroker for $90 + shipping for a total of $135. The gun is beat up and has definitely seen better days. When I took it home I loaded a couple shells and found the shells weren't being...

I've recently seen savage axis .30-06 at walmart here for under $300

No experience withe the crossfire but I have a diamond back on my stevens 200. No complaints here and i'll likely purchase the 2-7x35 for my 10/22.

The stevens 200 is definitely a great rifle for the price. I replaced the trigger on mine with an adjustable one from Timney for around $100. I now have a 2.5 pound trigger pull compared to the factory trigger pull of 5.75 pounds measured with an RCBS gauge. I feel like its an upgrade worth the...

I've taken whitetails out to 225yds no problem with a savage shooting 100 gr rem corelocks

If you plan to mount a scope on this rifle I recommend getting a flat top upper.

I'm just curious. Will this be an archery or gun hunt?

When I was waiting for the shot I was thinking maybe I could shoot him in the head. I was unsure of that so I figured I couldn't go wrong putting it behind the shoulder.

I decided to have him mounted because he wasn't busted up from the shot. And yes, it is kind of expensive but I've seen a couple coyote mounts and liked them. Any more of them that I kill will certainly not be mounted. I shot him just behind the shoulder. He didn't take one step after the shot.

During your morning hunts try to stay in the woods later than most hunters. When they're leaving they usually drive deer to you. Hunting from the ground is fine you just can't get away with much movement. If you can sit with a big tree at your back that will help conceal you.

That was with the 28" barrel. It was very fun and exciting letting them get so close before the shot. I was back at the property for thanksgiving and heard more of them howling at night so maybe I'll try to make a coyote hunt after deer season and get another with my rifle.

Nice buck and a cool story to go with it.

On 11/13/10 I was at some family land a few miles north of Philadelphia, MS doing some work to get ready for the opening of rifle season. I figured while I was there I'd take a walk to try and kill a couple squirrels. The only gun I had was my mossberg 12 ga. with #6 shot. I was standing next to...
