    Re-barrel question ?

    I don't think it would be worth it to spend $500 on an old gun. It is an ok shooter but no tack driver. I do occasionally use my my heavy barreled .25-06 for deer, usually sit in a fixed enclosed blind and don't have to worry about lugging it around.

    Re-barrel question ?

    Thinking about putting a new barrel on a Remington 700. It is about 40 years old and a .308. Considering putting a heavier barrel in .260 Remington. Any suggestions on barrel makers and what to expect in gunsmith costs to put the new barrel on and modify the stock. This was originally a...

    Any tips on canning venison?....

    I like to use steak seasoning or a good prime rib seasoning, about 3/4 tsp in pints. Make sure you read up on proper procedures. 90min for quarts and 45 min on pints. At least 10 psi. I tried browning the meat before placing in jars, but it doesn't make any difference in taste. I used...

    Whats your favorite deer hunting firearm and

    I have been using my Remington Model 7 in .260 the last couple of years but my favorite gun is a mauser action heavy barrel in .25-06. I use Speer or Hornady 100 gr bullets in the .25-06 and shoot 140 gr. core-lokt in the .260.

    .243 vs. .25-06

    I haven't shot a .243 but I do own a .25-06 and I think that it would be my favorite for deer. I also have a .308 and .260 Remington. The .260 is the same case as the .243 but uses a .264 bullet. The difference is in the type of rifle. My .25-06 is a Mauser action with a heavy barrel and...

    BPS vs Ithaca 37.

    I have three BPS, 20 ga. upland, 28 ga standard wood, and a 12 ga.stalker with synthetic stock which handles 3.5" shells. I carry the 20 with me in my pickup all the time and because it is short and handy I like to use it for dog training. I like the 3.5 inch BPS for waterfowl but the gun is...

    How long can you leave a Inline Muzzleloader loaded?

    I leave my CVA Optima ML loaded during the season. Our muzzle loader deer season lasts from Dec 1st to December 31st. I loaded it the 2nd day of the season and shot a deer on the 15th. Cleaned the barrel and reloaded for my grandson to use and he didn't get a shot so I just unloaded it...

    The Marlin 39 Club

    Marlin 39A I have a model 39A Mountie that I bought when I was 16 in 1967. The serial # is 134XX. What year would this have been made? I bought it used from an old gunsmith who passed away along time ago.
