I don't know what's up with Sig's unintentional discharges. It has happened, but so far, I've seen no evidence to prove exactly what the problem is. But I know this much, when word got out about the Remington 700's discharging with no trigger pull just about everyone blamed it on operator...

Have to be a Hunter Education instructor. Not normal classroom teachers. I'm a retired teacher and my hunter safety instructor certificate is still valid so I should qualify. I may look into it. Thanks for the heads up.

The stated velocity of the US cartridge ammo is 75 fps faster than 124 gr Fiocchi at 3 cents more per round. That may or may not be a factor. A lot depends on the bullet.

Move to the SE. Georgia has a 12 deer limit with over-the-counter tags. Two must be bucks and one of the 2 has to meet antler restrictions. The rest must be does. If you hunt on most WMA's and kill something it doesn't count against your 12 deer limit. Archery season starts mid-September...

I don't know much about O/U and SXS shotguns anymore. I used to keep up with them and I've tried some of the moderately priced ones with disappointing results. There was a time when I wanted a double, but I finally decided I'd much rather have a quality semi-auto than a cheap double...

I've owned a lot of rifles in the last 50 years. Tikka has won me over. I don't NEED another rifle, but if I did Tikka is the 1st one I'd consider. I acknowledge that Savage builds an accurate rifle. No disputing that. But I just can't like the design. I've had a couple over the years and...

I did a little google research and found no negative reviews. At that price I'd give it a try.

If there is anything better than a Glock I've not seen it.

Technically 1987-1991 F150's are considered Gen 8 trucks. 2015-2020 F150's are gen 13. It took me a while to warm up to DBM bolt rifles. But IMO the benefits outweigh the negatives, and it has almost nothing to do with mag capacity nor being able to reload faster. Although that is a small...

To a point I agree. But regardless of the rifle weight I like a 3 lb or less trigger pull. I used to own a Kimber Montana that weighed under 6 lbs scoped. The trigger was 4 lbs plus when I got it and when shooting from a bench you could feel the rifle move as you put 4 lbs of pressure on...

What marketing? There never was any. This is one of those cartridges where shooters approached Hornady and gave them the specifics of what they wanted and Hornady made it. Unlike many cartridges that are developed by rifle and ammunition companies who tell us why we need it. I bought one...

As far as I know you can mail a long gun to a FFL. But not to a non-FFL. I've done so in the past, but it has been several years.

A lot of them were made by the Crescent Firearms Company and given many different names. A little history https://www.shotgunlife.com/briefs/the-legacy-of-crescent-firearms-shotguns.html I have one branded as the "Bridge" firearms company which was made by Crescent. Apparently made between...

These guys have been compiling data for several years and updating their website occasionally. They are up to 170 confirmed bear encounters where guns were used in self defense. The data says it doesn't matter. 98% of the time ANY handgun stopped the attack. Cartridges included 22, 380, 38...

I'd take it back and swap it. Some stores won't take back ammo, some will. If they won't I'd try to sell it to a waterfowl hunter. IMO buckshot is what you want. Exactly which can be debated and some tasks are better suited for 00 Buck and others will be better with #4 Buck. But I want...

In my very limited experience RN or pointed bullets in a speed loader USUALLY load faster. Most of the time it didn't make any difference. But the flat nose bullets were more likely to hang up and slow down the process. It might only happen once in every 4-5 reloads. I also think flat nose...

A 139-147 gr bullet and a near max charge of H4350 just plain works. I've gotten nearly the same results with 143 and 147 gr Hornady ELD bullets, 140 gr Barnes Matchburners and 139 gr Lapua Scenar's. I like the Scenar's a little better. I only have a handful of the others already loaded...

Once I find something that works I tend to stick with it.

I wonder if even those would be OK with TSA. The other "tools" could be used as a weapon.

I've seen photos of 2 sheaths clipped together using that. Never thought about hanging it on a shirt button.
