    Short barreled bolt guns

    Where I grew up hunting it's not short rifle country. Something as short as 22" feels strange to me. This Howa 20" 308 Superlite I have on the way is going to be a real adjustment. And, I don't care for the significant velocity loss from shorties. With country so wide open there is little reason...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    My cousin did the same thing. He ordered the same rifle the night after I did. LOL, he stayed up late so his wife wouldn't catch him. She says I'm a bad influence, and she's right.

    Maybe I'm getting old...

    I learned from a dad who got ten deer seasons out of one box of 30-06 ammo. He used one shot to clean the spiders out of the barrel and one shot to shoot his deer in the head. It was a lot about meat on the table. I'm mostly in the middle, leaning away from Mr. Tacticool.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    The cat just woke me up, so I ordered a Howa Super Lite Brown/black webbing from Frisco Guns. They had a killer price. I need to keep the cat out of the bedroom. https://friscoguns.com/m1500-superlite-308-win-20-bbl-1-3rd-mag-tan-w-black-web/?searchid=35741&search_query=430105608

    Ms Scarlet, that once in a lifetime dog. God I miss her. She was a chukar genius.

    Short sheep hunt and my first kill with a creedmoor!

    I agree completely re: the brake on soft shooters. I took the brake off a Grendel upper a good friend gave me and put it onto the Mossberg 300 Win Mag. It's L O U D, but it's soft shooting now.

    7MM BackCountry I’m not impressed with what I saw

    Start buying points in places that have that option. You'll probably need them. I hear you on the self employed struggles. I was a self employed insurance adjuster for years and could never rely on my help, which was one or two guys, depending on the time of year and assignment volume. I went...

    7MM BackCountry I’m not impressed with what I saw

    I apologize for straying off the subject. If anyone buys one of the new 7mm's and posts a shooting report I am all eyes.

    7MM BackCountry I’m not impressed with what I saw

    I wish I had a good rifle in the straight 7X57. Mine is the AI version. It shoots the 130gr Speer BT @ 3,050 at muzzle and drives tacks. Ammo I loaded 18 years ago for an antelope hunt.

    7MM BackCountry I’m not impressed with what I saw

    I used a 257 Bee on my last antelope. Roy had a winner! I sold it to get the 6.5-300. :confused: Money got so tight last year the 6.5 found a new home. It was a Vanguard with KUIU camo and a well-tuned trigger, the real secret to hunting accuracy, IMO. I got it off Guns International from a...

    7MM BackCountry I’m not impressed with what I saw

    The grandson used his Husqvarna 270 with my 130gr load. I usually use my Husky 7X57 AI with 130s for antelope. My point is that there are uses for the round, and I don't need hunting and shooting lessons. I guided antelope hunts for 30 years before we had dial-a-deer scopes and range finders. I...

    Hunt antelope here and you'll soon see a use for the round. :scrutiny:

    Extra magazine for my Kimber Hunter. Holy $50.00 Cow! Still waiting for my SigSauer Tango-MSR 1-6. PSA has the the EC9S Rugers on sale for $199.00 right now. I don't need another one, but... :scrutiny: https://palmettostatearmory.com/ruger-ec9s-9mm-pistol-black-3283.html
