Every deer I have taken has been with a gun and some kind of optic. Whether rifle, handgun, or MZ, they all have optics on them. Thought it might be cool to go deer hunting with a rifle and just use metallic sights. I have access to plenty of spots to hunt where shots are 100yd max. So of...

Went up the 14th to the Baldwin, MI area for the opener on the 15th. Forecast was for nice cool temps with SOME snow on the way. Perfect!!! The 15th came and we got a little bit of snow. Didn't see much opening day. Few pileated woodpeckers, chickadees, and 2 squirrels. No deer. My dad...

Has any one tried any of the Norma Golden Target Match Grade ammo? I have a 6.5 prc rifle on order and am starting to buy stuff. I see where they have a 143gr BTHP that is reasonably priced and actually available compared to some of the offerings from Hornady and Federal. First rifle I have...

I've got a wanting for a .338 of some type. I owned a Weatherby Vanguard SUB-MOA in .338 win mag and it was a great rifle. Killed some deer with it. Was very accurate. Got bored with it and sent it down the road. Fast forward to now, I have the itch for another .338 of some kind...

....bring the wrong gun to the range? Its been hot here so I figured I would get my range time in early today. Want to sight in my Winchester Extreme Weather 7wsm after switching scopes. Grabbed my 7wsm, ammo, shooting bag, sand bags, targets, etc. Tossed in an O/U 12 ga just in case I...

My buddy is thinning his herd and made me an offer I couldnt refuse. Its a Marlin 1895 ABL. Thats a 18.5 blued gun with gray laminate pistol grip stock with large lever. Comes with a Nikon Monarch 2-8x32. Its a JM, all original. I remember helping him sight it in when he got it, was damned...

Have an opportunity to get a good deal on a gun that has always intrigued me. I have absolutely no experience with Remington 7600s and am considering picking one up. Its a synthetic stocked one chambered in .280rem. Dont have any experience with that chambering either. I figure I have a...

Over the winter I thinned the herd and got rid of a few guns I didnt use that much. One of them was a gun I had shot turkeys with so that gave me an excuse to get a new turkey gun. I found a killer deal on a Mossberg 500 with the 20" barrel and cool looking AR style stock. Had to have it! So...

So I saw these on sale and figured I would see if they shot in my M70 Extreme Weather. Who can tell me exactly who makes the bullet? Seems like the interwebs have conflicting stories. Some say its a Barnes. Some say its a Nosler that looks like a Barnes. Either way I think they will kill a...

Just won a rifle on that super popular gun auction site on the interweb. Its a Ruger 77/22 mag, stainless and synthetic. They discontinued those recently in favor of the American. I always kinda liked the 77/22. Anyway I got the rifle, unfired in box for $480. Was a good bit cheaper than...

Went to my gun safe and picked out a few guns that I hadn't shot in awhile and decided to thin the herd and get something new. Sold an AR15, a Glock 20 that I had tacticooled and a single shot 17 hmr. Took my proceeds up to the local gunshop and fondled all the toys. Came home with a new...

Was bored so I walked up to the local brew pub for a plate of wings and an IPA while watching some LSU/Alabama. Struck up a conversation with a fellow patron who was also wearing a camo ball cap. Turns out he is a rifle nut like most of us on here... Anyway we started talking about all of...

I recently purchased a mountain bike. Figured it would be good exercise. Hadnt ridden a bike since I was 15 or so. Its true. Had no issues remembering how to stay upright. Tried a couple of different gun/holster combos, none were really bike friendly. Finally settled on my J-Frame in a...

Getting ready for turkey season here and was just wondering what everyones favorite set up was. I use my trusty Beretta 390. It started life out as a simple black synthetic gun. I sent the stocks in to Bell and Carlson and had them dipped in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass awhile back for duck...

Took a couple days off to go up north and hunt with my dad for our grouse opener on the 15th. Temps were very warm, so we just hunted the mornings. Saw a few birds, got this one on the 16th. Lots of squirrels too. Was good to hunt with my dad and not be at work! Beretta 12 sxs 26"...

Anyone have any experience with BFR. I am considering ordering one. Looking for a good woods gun, hand cannon, make noise at the range. Am looking at 5.5" .500 jrh.

About 10 years ago I was into skeet and sporting clays pretty heavy. Shooting 400-500 shells a month. For a few reasons I had gotten out of it, busy at work, other hobbies, etc. I sold my target guns to fund rifles and pistols. I still hit the skeet field occasionally with my other guns but...

Finally got a day off without monsoon rains or 60mph wind. Decided it was a good time to see what my TC Encore in .243 would do. Don't have components or dies yet so am shooting some factory stuff I ordered online. The first load is Federal gray box 100gr soft point. The other load I got...

I just received part of my new summer/fall project today. Always wanted an Encore pistol so I ordered a stainless/syn frame and a stainless fluted 15" barrel in .243 win. I will eventually have several barrels. The reason I went with a .243 is that I have never owned anything in that bore...

Finally had a Saturday off that wasnt freezing cold or crazy windy. Decided to head to the range to shoot my BLR in 308 and also my Ruger SBH Hunter in 45lc. I had a box and a half of some Double Tap .45lc 300 grain @ 1300 I wanted to blast since I have found a more accurate hunting load. I...
