    Newly Redesigned Marlin 60 and Marlin 795 Impressions

    I have purchased one each of the new production Model 60 and Model 795 rifles with the newly designed stock. As you can see, the new stock has a differently designed comb, a differently designed fore end which is angular rather than rounded. The new stock has a different medallion on the...

    Why spend money on scopes?

    I have been hunting for a while now with a variety of scopes. I have been viewing them on my property looking at detailed signs about 200 yards away and looking at a tree line about 1000 yards away. You know what? There's just not that much difference between the scopes... My eye doctor...

    Leupold Alumina Flip Up Covers

    Bullet Question

    I'm trying to decide on bullet choice. I'm changing away from Nosler due to some bad experience with on game performance with the Accubond and bad accuracy with the e-tip.

    30 Newton Inquiry

    I have in my possession a 30 Newton. I know it's nearly 100 years old. It's all original and in excellent condition except for a tiny bit of rust on the rear sight which you can see in the picture. Otherwise, the bluing is excellent. I also have 40 brass for it. Does anyone have any idea what...
