"in a life or death situation they would not be my choice for a go to gun" Even with a variety of artiliary in my gun safe, when it comes to "repelling boarders" I would have to agree with your statement, my Pistols & Revolvers are not my first choice for defense, if it came to "Upclose &...

I have only fired around 200 rounds through Glock's that belong to friends, I have never had a failure to feed or fire, that I will say in thier defense, but as I stated on the one 1911 topic, I find the Glock's do not fit my grip, there's something "off" about thier geomitry so they don't feel...

I have had quite a few auto loaders over the years, my first was a Browning Highpower 9mm, I loved that one, it's only flaw being the SA only requiring me to cock it before firing, which was handled whan racking the first round into the chamber. I wish I had kept that old warhorse now, but sadly...

I own three main hunting wepons, two are single shot rifles, while the third is a Marlin .444 Levergun, the single shot rifles I own include a Ruger #1s in .338 Win Mag, and a T/C Encore, when I first bought the Encore I bought it as a209x.50 Smokepole, since then I have added two other calibers...

Thankyou CSA, I know I live in a special corner of Hunting Heaven, knowing that thebig game hunting opportunities were great up here was one of the major governing factors when we chose to move up here from southern Alberta years ago. --Ken

Congrats to Springmom on your hunting success, thats some fine shooting! --Ken

Here's a couple little bucks I have harvested in recient years... I harvested this little guy with my T/C Encore .260 Rem Caliber @ aprox 270 yards, harvested with one shot taken from a free standing position as the Whitetail crossed a cutline broadside to my position nose down tracking a Doe...

Both the .243 & the .260 are based on the .308 parrent case the .260 is a considerable step up from the .243 based on Sectional Density. The .243 is limited to a much lighter hunting bullet, I cannot recall off the top of my head what the heaviest bullet is for the .243, I bought a .243 for my...

The ultimate in Gun Control, which I whole heartedly support, is to Hit what you Aim at every time you Fire a Wepon! I said that & I mean it! :D

A quick look at the cylinder of my .44 Mag shows nothing but empty holes. :what: I do not "play" with loaded wepons, when I aim a loaded wepon, something is about to die, because I do not casually or frivolously aim a loaded wepon at anything. From my personal experience the handgun is a poor...

I have made several similar "in your face" photos with two of my revolvers using my 35mm SLR Minolta camera on a tripod & using the timer, I would not allow or expect someone to stand in front of me to take such a shot. I left my face out of focus on purpose. I made up a sign on my shop that...

Speaking of the .260 Rem Caliber, I bought a 24" barrel in that caliber for my T/C Encore, topped it with a 4-12x50 Vivitar Scope its an awesome tackdriver & I have used the .260 caliber to harvest Moose, Elk & Whitetail using 140gr Hornady bullets, it killed the Moose, Elk & Deer just as dead &...

I don't hunt Pigs this far north, but I am big into Spring Bear hunting with my Marlin lever action .444 caliber, from point blank range out to 200 yards, what I shoot at dies, I for one do not put much faith in pistol calibers for hunting.

I don't have a .35 Whelen But I have been known to use either my Ruger #1s .338 Win Mag or my Marlin .444 XLR for Moose, Elk, Black Bear & even Whitetail Deer. Getting tagged by either round has proven to be instantly fatal to whatever game I choose to use it on, this year I harvested my Moose &...
