    How young is too young?

    Depends on the Kid and the Type of Hunting. Started taking my boys along on duck, goose, varmit type hunts when they were 7 or 8 when the weather was mild and the hunt was not too strenuous. Need them to understand there is more to hunting than pulling the trigger or releasing the arrow they...

    Ruger No. 1 Pics and Opinions!

    No Picture, Mine is a 22-250 with a 6x18 Burris. Purchased it new in 93 I think. Love it, great accuracy. Won a 3 shot 100 yd group Bench Rest Comp at the local club shooting againist a bunch of boys with thier PPCs and 223s once. Doesn't shoot quite that well any more but still is 1/2" to...

    Buying a new deer rifle...

    Xd I'm A Big Fan Of The 25-06. Of All My Rifles, This Is The One I Take On Deer And Antelope. But Considering You Have 30-06 Woodmaster I Would Tend To Agree That Upgrading To A Better 30-06 May Be The Best For Your Situation.

    which budget 300 win. mag.

    If your using this for hunting stay away from the Savage accu-trigger. Stationary targets only. Savage is a good choice just don't get it with this trigger. I have one and like it for the bench but hate it for hunting.

    Savage Model 10fp! Your thoughts please!

    Have a 10 and a 16. Great guns. One comment on the Accu Trigger. Have one on the 16. It's great for targets and stationary targets but not good for moving targets. I have missed many more coyotes than normal (not that I don't miss my fair share) over the last 2 years because of this. You...

    Hunting Rifle Dilemma

    IGB, Increasing the barrel length of the 308 from 20 to 22 is not really stepping it up. Maybe the accuracy but that is questionable. A single shot for elk is not a wise choice for most beginners. If they are still standing you better be reloading and shooting again. Never know where the...

    Popular rifle primes high-caliber dispute

    I read the article by Dentry in the Denver Post that received the backlash and brought about his second article of generally "don't shoot the messager". Also, just happens that I know Hubble personally as we live in the same area of Colorado and cross paths and share discussions every so often...

    What do you know about STW?

    Awesome caliber! Don't own one. My brother and three of my hunting/guide buddies own one. I opted for the 300 ultra at the last minute in lieu of the STW (Shooting Times Western). This is one flat shooting, powerful cartridge. I've seen the results on deer and elk and at the local gun club...

    Hunting Rifle Dilemma

    You may like the in tight spaces of hunting elk and deer in the trees but over time you'll find most of your oportunities for elk are 80yd to 400yd. The hear and they smell. The short time you have to identify bull or cow 4pt or spike doesn't provide many opportunties for this type of hunting...

    rimfire teardown: 10/22 vs Marlin?

    10/22 is the one to choose. Own 3 of them. Don't clean the rotary clips, just buy new ones. My time isn't worth the $15 you can replace them with for a new one. No other 22 can be modified as much as the Ruger 10/22, (stocks, barrels, etc.). When you modify or customize them they become rim...

    25-06 for elk

    Too Small: A 25-06 is a 30-06 necked down. Same case capacity, just a smaller diameter with more velocity. Close and mid range the elk will never know the difference. Neck Shot: I've tracked too many deer and elk from clients shooting for the neck to know better. The vital area of the...

    25-06 for elk

    The 25-06 is a fine gun for Elk. Assuming you can hit what your aiming at. I've used one for years along with several friends and family members on Elk over the years here in Colorado. I have several larger caliber rifles to choose from and today I still take it along, though I use a larger...
