    Why did the .338 federal never take off?

    338 federal The attraction of the 338 federal is the super short ant lightweight platform it is usually built upon. A short action super lightweight short barreled rifle to shoot game at reasonable distance. I have shot one and liked it, although I couldn't really justify replacing my 30-06...

    Wicking base layer, fleece jacket, frog tog rain coat will cover a wide range of conditions, is lightweight, and cheap. I also wear a lot of wool, but the base layer is important, and avoid cotton!

    Daisy 747 air pistol seal kits?

    Our 4h program had a herd of 717 and 747 daisy air pistols. Very accurate, with a great trigger on the 747. And a Walther barrel. After a season, the pistols started leaking and acting erratically. The kids had to borrow guns at the state shoot. These guns were highly recommended but didn't...

    Sunglasses that double as eye protection recommendations

    I like the Smith and Wesson high definitions. Unfortunately, I now need my bifocals to shoot my handguns accurately. Still trying to work through that.

    Flattest Shooting Rifle Round

    Small caliber screamers are fast and flat, but wind will push them around more. Flat isn't everything at long range

    6.5mm against elk.

    I would avoid the sst for elk. However, partitions, acubonds, interbonds or other premium bullets should do fine. I love the sst for deer, but had a 139 grain sst disintegrate on an elk. I did recover the elk with a follow up shot. The distance for the sst was under 100 yds, velocity a...

    Leupold RX-IV range finder problem

    Mine quits randomly, especially when I don't want it to. If I remove the battery and put it back in, it works for a while.

    7-08 Elk wannabe?

    708 is great, I would guess bullet selection and shot placement. I shot an elk with an encore pistol in 708 with an sst bullet, and it broke up on some ribs. My fault for using that bullet on elk, but it got the job done.

    Bubbatized 1903 Remington

    I had a Rock Island that was sporterized. The scope needed replaced, so I bought a Leupold. Bolt handle wouldn't clear and couldn't find higher rings for the Beuhler rings that came on it, so had to replace rings and bases, which required some new holes in the superhard action. Then, I...

    Binocular Suggestions, Hunting this year was a pain with the one I had

    Brunton Echo 10x42 binoculars are a good value, as are the Vortex line. Leupold of course as well. I hunted with Swaroski 8x30 loaners a couple of years ago and except for weight, they had nothing on the Bruntons. Good customer service from Brunton as well.

    Hornady SST or Sierra Gameking for whitetails

    I like SST but a bad shot will tear up a lot of meat. Very hard hitting deer round, but don't use it on elk.
