I'm always surprised at the variety of guns that show up in deer camp. There are the typical 94's & Marlins along with quite a few Savage 99's, a lot of pumps, some bolts and very rarely a semi shows up. The one common bond is just about everyone uses some sort of 30 caliber round, be it a...

Go to Waterloo or Island lake rec areas. I highly doubt anyone is going to let you on private land to hunt small game 10 days before Bow season. Check out http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/index.html for more local info.

Looks like your on the right track with a Viz'. Try to get some time with one as they are not for everyone. They do shed even with the real short hair. They are a good watchdog / poor guard dog, mine barks like crazy when it hears thunder or it sees a small animal. Very energetic, make sure...

Shot my new to me Marlin 444 this morning. I must say Im just blown away with the groups I got. I was getting 4 shots touching at 50 yards, shot from a bench of course, I thought it to be pretty darn good for a 40+ year old lever gun. Once I dialed in the scope for windage I tried to bring...

Well they replaced the scale under warranty with a new model for no charge. I'm pleased with the service, and ill continue to buy Hornady products.

I would guess very few of us have the luxury of being able to live off of only what we harvest. I could probably come close if I lived where I hunt, still it would take more than the 5 deer I could legally kill, I would definitly need some crop damage permits and a whole lot of fish. If your...

I have a Hornady electronic powder scale that has never worked very well. It eats battery's even when turned off. I have to remove the battery or else it drains it. Unfortunately this model came without an ac adapter:mad: wish I knew that before buying it. I'm sending it back just wondering...

Just a question to those who complain about prices? Where do you shop thats its cheaper? The one near me has a good selection at decent prices, as well as some smoking deals on used guns. Sure some items are higher priced but thats where it pays to be an informed consumer. Basic business...

My single trigger Baikal model has fired both barrels quite a bit. The more I shot it the more it let me down, I wanted to like it but just cant. It is now a wall hanger and wont be shot. Two barrels of target loads does a number on you when your not expecting it. I have learned my lesson...

Russian Tula Arms TOZ-12 with receiver sights heavy barrel and big flat bottom target stock

Anyone have one of these rifles? I was browsing the local shop and came across this CZ rifle in .223 that had a high gloss finish, thumb hole wood stock and some sort of twisted barrel. Had a shorter than usual barrel. I cant find it on CZ's website or with any searches online.

I believe the 695 was a long action whitetail hunter. My 7mm is 695M and its a whitetail hunter deluxe, Im pretty sure there were plastic stocks available. check this out. http://www.chuckhawks.com/tikka_rifles.htm & http://www.rifleshootermag.com/featured_rifles/tack_driving_tikkas/

Will you hunt in the southern part of the state? If so how about a Omega muzzleloader, or an 870 slug gun? A friend got a New 7mm-08 savage combo, it shoots great as is, well worth the 400 bucks, but his limited vacation time wont let him head up north to use it so he picked up an 870...

South of Mass City.

I have a Bushnell 3200 2-7-32 on my Tikka .308 its has served me well the past 3 deer seasons. I have taken 2 deer around 5:30 at night in late november in Stannard township so its plenty bright. I like the 3200 better than the Burris fullfield I have used before, the Burris fogged up on me...
