    North America Big Game Rifle

    ..., then you roar in with your blanket indictment. By the way I know a sweet young thing that shoots a nice MacMillan in .416 barrett , I've got a grand that says she outshoots you at *any* distance with your .243. And hey she really * doesn't * 'have any...

    Picking an MA or a dojo

    It is best to decide were you want to go as a martial artist before joining up. The three main groups of schools, from my observation, are: Sport/MMA oriented: You get the most well rounded training at these types of schools. It's dualistic training, but usually well rounded dualistic...

    Picking an MA or a dojo

    ...rules /outside the rules nature of MMA. And yes the MMA 'systems' have much of value , the caveat being that they operate within a set of *rules* , if you're training for competition you will operate within those 'rules' almost automatically. There are NO rules on the street (...

    Picking an MA or a dojo

    Great thread , except for the brief emergence of GunKid , but hey every kitchen has a roach wander in sometime 'eh. I'll add some things to the McDojo thing. If you go to view a class at any given dojo ,dojang or kwoon and the word 'contract' comes up............ WALK...

    ...Whatever. You also don't have what would be considered large hogs , and don't bother argueing the point with *me* , I've quite literally hunted hogs from coast to coast in this country ,including down in your neck of the woods and the rest of the southeast , try that live catch stuff out here...

    Best Hunting Caliber?

    ...a passion , they're the scourge of the earth around here. And for the record , if you insist on carrying a .223 you won't go with me , nor will *any* guide hereabouts take you out and you won't get access to most of the private land. There's been a couple of incidents in the last couple of...

    Blackhawk .45 Colt on layaway... should I get the 44 Spec?

    Since you reload, you can always load the 45 LC hotter...but not a 44 Special. ............................................................. Really? I'd have to disagree with you on that one , so would Elmer Keith if he was still alive , he stoked the .44 special pretty fair and...

    Coach Guns,Luparas, etc.....

    A couple of notes. You can stick a pair of shells between the fingers of your left hand for an instant reload. This was the practice of professional hunters with double rifles, but it works with shotguns as well. Also, if you've ever hunted with newbies with pump guns you've probably seen...

    Quality of Sako

    I'm known by my friends as rather a blot rifle 'whore' , I go through bolt rifles like some folks go through shorts and socks , I get rid of them if they don't perform. And one that has remained for twenty-five plus years is an olf Sako 75 in .257 roberts , still shooting under ( well under) a...

    Which 22-250? Or is there a better caliber?

    ...examples that I've kept long term , that said I somehow keep coming back to the .22-250s , the latest a Mauser actioned .22-250 A.I. , though I *never* utilise it for anything larger than coyotes or large feral dogs. Many folks I know within the varmint community have attempted to...

    .35 whelen has been mentioned , likewise .260 , .45-70 and a whole slew of other nice cartridges. But am I the only one still shooting a .257 Roberts?

    Most reliable autoloader?

    ..., my mil spec Springfield 1911 now has 7500 rounds ( approx) through it without a single failure , and believe it or not I've likely got the *only* decent Llama in the world , early sixties manufacture , the second barrels is now shot out and it has ( I am anal rententive about keeping...

    dangerous game scout scope diffiuculty making decision

    not sure where you're from, but since there's not really any 'dangerous' game in the continental US or EU where 99% of our members are from, i'm going to go out on a limb and say the extra $100 is a pittance compared to the cost of traveling, tags and licenses, etc typically associated with...

    45-70 for home defense

    I don't know about that. I am not recoil sensitive either, but with the right loads (my 4000+ ft-lb load) it rivals the felt recoil of my .375H&H (though it is slightly heavier and has a very comfortable stock)...I like it! OTOH I find my normal loads are easily more comfortable than my...

    45-70 for home defense

    You need to work on that, the .45-70Govt. is a magnificent cartridge for the handloader, but only a mediocre one for someone that buys factory boxes (just too darn expensive and limited in loading). A simple single stage press, dies, and scale is a worthwhile investment, if only for that one...

    Brother is going fishing in Alaska- What should I loan him?

    That was one of those Internet things that got out of hand. It was actually just a good bear, but not even the largest taken that year. I think it was 10'2" or something like that. The maneater stuff was all hype. The biggest bear I know of (because it was actually weighed instead of...

    Brother is going fishing in Alaska- What should I loan him?

    ...already shooting. And no offense but can we keep the weights in the world of reality , there's never been a 2000 lb Brown bear taken , there *might* be one out there but I have my doubts feel free to post a cite and/or pictures if you've got 'em. The two biggest on record are one shot...
