Took a decent 135lb doe this evening right at the end of legal shooting time. 4:45 pm, approx 50 yard shot, she ran maybe 30 yards. High shoulder shot, pass through, took out top of heart and turned lungs to jelly. Completely destroyed one shoulder. CVA Cascade, Leupold VX Freedom firedot...

Inspired by the King Ranch thread, I am putting together a nilgai hunt for myself and a couple buddies. I tried to schedule one with the King Ranch, but they are booked until sometime in the summer. South Texas in the dead summer heat does not sound appealing, and I lack patience as well. I...

Myself and 2 or three friends are kicking around an antelope hunt for this season. Is it too late to put one together? If not any recommendations for an outfitter/gude/lodge? We are good with travel wherever, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah etc. We are all from Ohio, and none have any experience...

Anyone have any experience mounting a Sig Romeo 1 on a 10mm? I just switched from a Vortex venom on a Springfield XDM because I like the instant on with motion detection on the Sig. I ran about 2.5 magazines through it and the dot died. Replaced the battery and no joy. I have seen a couple...

Going to be putting together a 224 Valkryie AR in the next week or so, looking for a good scope recommendation for it, any ideas?

I have an older Ruger single six that has been very mistreated in its past. All finish, bluing is gone. Pretty much down to bare metal with an ugly combination of surface rust and stains. I have oiled it to stop any further rusting. Gun functions and shoots fine. So, I figure to...

A friend of mine found this old revolver while cleaning out a house. From what I have been able to find it appears to be a Belgian folding trigger, cal .320 European. I can find no markings (condition is rough, quite a bit of rust and dirt) anywhere on it. Six shot, ejector rod missing...

I love this time of year for many obvious reasons. One of them is the availability of cheap reactive targets, also known as pumpkins. Since my kids are too old to carve them anymore this is the only valid use of them. Pumpkin pie and any derivatives of such are just plain nasty! :barf: So...

Picked up a Yugo SKS for my sons 12th Birthday and it has some markings carved into the stock. Wonder if anyone can shed some light on them? It also has the date 14-03-1993 (Mar. 14 1933 I assume) with what looks to be god after it near the front on the forend and about center has the initials...

As I posted in another thread I have recently aquired a Tikka T3 and the solid black plastic stock just does not do it for me. I have used this teqnique before and rather like the results. Here is a brief tutorial for anyone that is interested in doing the same. This will work with any plastic...

I purchased a new in box Tikka T3, picked it up today and noticed Beretta has a promo going on, free shooting glasses and a gun case. They require a copy of the receipt, which is more than reasonable but they also require a copy of the filled out 4473. The store I bought it at had never heard...

My brother brought me a rifle to look at wondering what the value is. It is a GEW 98 action built in 1915 Spandau marked (I believe, there is a scope mount hole drilled through it) Wood has been replaced, Winchester marked barrel in .257 Roberts. Bore appears fair, dark but cant see any real...

My wonderful wife of what will be 13 years in a couple weeks (God knows how she has suffered through living with me that long!) has gifted me with the ok to order a new Tikka T3 Lite. Going for the stainless .25-06 because well, I do not have one yet. Gonna be a LOOONNGG week or so of waiting...

I am off to spend a week in Myrtle beach tomorrow. I know that SC honors my Ohio ccw permit. Could anyone tell me if carry in bars/restaurants is ok in SC? Are you allowed to consume while carrying? Cannot wait until our new law in Oh comes into effect and I do not have to disarm when going...

About a month ago I bought a Rossi model 92 stainless in .44mag. Loading was a major pain, could not seem to get more than 4-5 cartridges into the rifle, they would bind up in the loading gate area. Also had some feeding issues. So I ordered a stainless magazine follower hoping the cheapo...

Hit this up and vote for our side. http://www.abc6onyourside.com/shared/newsroom/poll/wsyx_web_poll_form.shtml Hope this thing passes, I for one hate to have to remove my gun when going in to have a bite to eat. Personally I think you should be alowed to drink as well. Responsibility is...

Anyone have experience with the Butler Creek fluted barrel for a 10/22? Have a chance to pick up one fairly cheap but wonder how they compare to the other replacement barrels out there, quality and accuracy wise.

One of these followed me home yesterday evening so what choice did I have but to take it out and let it play some today. I must say I am impressed with both the gun and caliber. Very well made piece of machinery, 100% reliable and just "felt right" in the hand. I put about 150 rounds through...

Finally got out today to shoot some of my reloads, I had .45acp, .45 colt, .223, 30-06, .44mag and 45-70 all using trailboss. (other powders used as well but had the most fun with the trailboss) No it is not the most accurate but minute of pop can was just fine for pure joy of shooting...

Question about case manufacturers. If I am staying at the low to mid end of loading scales does case mfg. really matter all that much? Yes I know that different mfg have different dimensions, thickness ect. I have tons of brass I have been saving for quite awhile and it varies from mfg to...
