    .30-06 vs .308

    There's a bit of a disscusion on this in the 45-70 thread so I thought some of the talk could go here. Me firmly in the 06 camp. Well I am prejudiced in the matter because I've shot all Alaska game available to a white hunter but musk ox with a 06. With excellent results. My only concern was I...

    Best "brush buster" gun?

    In the 45-70 thread there's a bit of disscusion on this, and I thought it would be a good subject on it's own. By " brush buster" I mean a cartridge you feel can be depended on to shoot straight though heavy brush (thin branches bushs) and not deflect. I have heard opinions on this ranging from...

    Drones in hunting.

    It has long been illegal to hunt same day airborne in Alaska. In other words you must wait till 3am the next day after flying(on a non scheduled flight) to hunt. Drones are also illegal but the law is more vague then same day airborne. It just says you can't use them but no time line is given...

    Head shots-big game.

    I don't take them. I can't take the risk of condemning a animal to a slow death of starvation if I shoot it's jaw off. I was talking about this just yesterday and a old hunting buddy of mine told me a story he never told me before. He head shot a deer it ran off. Figured he missed. Well that...

    Garand # 44xxx

    So I walk in to a V A post (never been there) just to buy a beer and lo and behold what do I see but not 1, not 2 but 10 Garands in a glass gun cabinet! Of course I am all over this but can only look at the guns though the glass. Seems only the "commander" of the post can open the cabinet. So I...

Yes you can bring them back to 2017. You would have the incredible experience of- Buying the...

    Why do they call it a "minute of angle"?

    Did some shooting today with some not real savvy shooters and explained 1/4 MOA equal 1/4 inch at 100 yards, 1 MOA 1(aprox) inch at 100 yards etc. So got to thinking. Is a MOA 1/60 of a degree?. 360 degrees x60 minutes = 21,600 MOA in a full circle? Help me before one of my greenhorns asks.

    factory Rem 700 in 300 WBY

    I bought one off a grocery store for sale board 20 years ago. Plastic stock. Great gun, the accuresy and flat shooting are jaw dropping. Was this some sort of limited run for Rem like the classics? I haven't seen other since.

    How did the law find out where the FL shooter bought his guns?

    Looks like my understanding of FFL record keeping is incorrect. I thought it went as follows- 1] Dealer phones in BC. Only your name is used. The gun you are buying is not part of this. 2] You fill out 4473. Dealer keeps this. It is not transferred to BATF, electronicly or other wise. So...

    Chicago gun victims at 1000 just this year.

    On record pace. And you can bet your last primer it will be blamed On "the easy availability of guns" in other states. Why don't those states have such a unbelievably high crime rate? https://www.rt.com/usa/340540-chicago-shootings-gun-violence/

    Anti gunners and "the wild West."

    Anti's keep throwing the argument at me that by being pro gun, I am advocating a return to the "wild West." As far as I can tell what they are saying is in the frontier days everyone had a gun, and every Minor dispute was settled with death and shoot outs. What part of the Westward expansion...
