    .44 Magnum VS .44 Magnum

    Is the jury out on the boresnake?

    If you only own a .22 caliber boresnake and you are trying to clean a .270 win do not put a piece of cloth through the loop at the end of the boresnake, if the piece of cloth is too big you are doomed.:cuss: Other than that I love my boresnake, even though it is cut in half and torn...

    SKS or 870 for bear defense?

    I know someone who literally stepped on a black bear that was sleeping, he ran one way and the bear ran the other. Use the 870 with slugs.
