    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    Because once you have a serious injury to the shoulder, your entire upper body is out of sorts for a long time. The recoil from my shooting arm is still felt in the non dominant side, you just don't notice it when you are healthy. When you are still injured, simple things like getting out out...

    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I ended up picking up a 6.5 grendel upper for my AR lower. So far I am very pleased with it and the recoil is almost non existent as it has a muzzle brake on it. Looks like deer season is salvaged this year, just need to make sure my buddies can help...

    Bonded vs Cup-and-Core for deer?

    If you can get premium bullets at the same price point as cup and core, no reason not to try them. I also reload 308 but have stuck with hornady sp for deer hunting as they have never let me down once so I see no reason to fix what is not broken. Now I do only deer hunt under 200 yards and...

    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    I like the looks of the 6.5 grendel upper. Think this might be my best option. Any recommendations on uppers? I do not want to spend a ton of money but want something that will last.

    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    I do reload for my 308 and 06. Never loaded anything under 150 gr. Should I look to 125 gr bullets around starting loads? I’m still worried that may be a bit painful. I’m kind of leaning towards the muzzle loader and shots under 50 yards. I do have help if needed to pull the deer out of the woods.

    Norma Whitetail .308 ammo

    I have shot a few boxes of this in 308 and cannot tell the difference between core-lokts, power points or federal blue box. They will serve you fine.

    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    I have never heard of the XP-100, very interesting looking. The action/bolt handle look eerily similar to my Remington model 600.

    Deer hunting caliber for shoulder injury

    I broke my shoulder pretty badly early June this year and have a long way to go until back to full strength. The good thing is I am a right handed shooter and broke my left arm. While I still have my dominate side, the recoil from my 06 or 308 seems a bit much this early into my recovery. I...

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    I have to agree with you there, very valid points. Price is attractive but I will look elsewhere, definitely do not want to support the Chicommies.

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    Anyone have any personal experience with Arken scopes? Never heard the name but keep reading good reviews online. Are they legit or Chinese junk?

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    I understand 308 is not the ideal bench gun caliber but for many reasons I would care not to go into, 308 it is. Also - 600 is about as far as I can physically shoot due to terrain. Sounds like I could probably get a decent barrel and scope under the $1500 price tag?

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    Yes, you are correct. I certainly do not have the skill to outshoot any reputable barrel manufacturer. Thanks for your input.

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    I will not be doing any formal competitions, just shooting at my ranch. Strictly a pleasure build.

    Need advice on barrel and glass

    I have been slowly building a Savage short action into a bench gun and feel a bit overwhelmed looking for a good barrel. I know there are better options out there but based on my situation, this is going to be in .308 Ranges I will be shooting should rarely go beyond 600 yards with 800 being...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Vintage model 36 pre dash. I was lucky enough to find this little guy and the more I research it, it seems to be a pretty early model in excellent condition. Has the flat latch cylinder ejector piece which I know dates it back to an early model. My biggest question is the 783 on the inside...

    ogree - you nailed it, the bolt was pushed in a bit. Pulling outward released the bolt. Thanks!

    Marlin Model 60 Bolt Stuck

    My dad has a Marlin model 60 that has the bolt stuck open. He shoots the bird shot out of it for pest control. I know these rounds do not have much power and dont cycle the bolt on a semi auto. Any idea what would cause the bolt to get stuck open? Anything look off in the picture?
