    What is your "best buy" firearm?

    i was talking to my buddy about how i want another .22. He's not much of a shooter and said he had one under his bed that he got 20some years ago as a present from his dad. after a couple questions i determined it was a ruger 10-22. i asked him how much, he said $80. i agreed to the terms and...

    Considering a Savage 116 .300 wm custom with 18" barrel

    i have a 116 .375H&H with a 20" barrel. i have never tried for pinpoint accuracy though, just shoot some rounds at 100yds to make sure its still sighted in. my question is, if he got the shorter barrel for rigidity, why did he then flute it? only a few of those things listed may actually...

    Miitchell's new PPS50/22 drum fed 22LR

    how does that work?? this is a classic case of why you should do your homework before you buy a rifle. Hopefully Old Dog Man doesn't encounter the problems El Guero speaks of.

    Deer rifle. 243 vs 30-30

    this is a pretty easy answer. for those of you saying the 30-30 has the edge with 200 and closer...why? would a .243 not kill a deer closer than 200 yards? no, it would make it just as dead as the 30-30 would, but it would get to the deer about 1000 fps faster. so with that in mind, if you want...

    Recommend a turkey choke and duck call

    i ended up getting a wood haven crystal "slate" from cabelas online when they had a sale. i think it was 45% off... sounds VERY good. i make my own strikers though. don't bother with the cheap primes slates, my buddies have them and they sound like crap. do yourself a favor and pick up a pack of...

    anyone shoot a .224 weatherby mag?

    hey guys, just looking to see how many people have one of these and shoot it. i have one back home and shoot it from time to time, but ammo is a little hard to find for it. needless to say i save all the brass and have the dies sitting at home but have yet to reload for it. of those of you that...

    Wood or synthetic for my first hunting rifle?

    i had my wood/blued m70 for 3 months in SE alaska. the part i was in is considered a rain forest(it rained almost every day). it did get rust, but nothing some minor cleaning won't take care of. if you stay on top of your cleaning you will be fine. if it becomes a problem you could always get it...

    CZ 550 Safari Magnum .375 H&H for Deer Hunt

    Bobson, you are also pushing a 300gr bear killing bullet. Have you ever shot a 12ga slug out of a pump action? that kicks more than any .375 i have ever shot, and i have shot a good few .375s. like redneck stated. a 12ga non saboted slug is around a .73 caliber. anywhere from 300-600gr slugs...

    Shooting for sport...Just cant do it.

    one could find a reason to hunt about anything. i hunt deer because they eat my corn and beans. i hunt coons because they eat my corn (and poo on my porch). i hunt rabbits because they eat my mothers garden. i hunt coyotes because they eat my deer and rabbits. i hunt dove/ducks/geese because...

    Turkey Hunting Newbie

    no, definitely not. they tell you where they are in the morning, and they tell you where they go to bed. i consider it some of the easiest hunting i have done. but definitely a boat load of fun. you should try mountain goats.

    Turkey Hunting Newbie

    never used a fiber optic on a shotgun before, but it helps on my bow. in illinois we can only hunt till 1pm, which is lame. box is super easy to learn, but you need to keep chalk with you. slate isn't too hard to learn but if it gets wet you are screwed. i had no clue how to use a slate or a...

    Turkey Hunting Newbie

    facemask and gloves are a must. You could use that blind material to make a blind with sticks and logs and whatnot. maybe bring some small hand sheers. 303tom is right, IMO they have the best eyes in the woods. you should already be in the shooting position long before the bird gets there, and...

    +1 my neighbor just moved out to the country from the city. they put a 5' fence around their garden to keep the deer out. LOL p.s. i like the Blue Moon bottle on the fence post behind the deer. YUM
