I can assure you that within a couple hundred yards a .223 is enough gun, and all but the one I described above were taken that way. I hunt a fair amount in one of the harshest environments I’ve seen, try different things to see what works and what don’t, learn from my mistakes/poor choices and...

Oh, and I wouldn’t hunt with anyone who would suggest gut shooting an animal. Theyd be going to the dentist if they said something like that to me.

My buddies and I have used 55 grain Sierra game kings out of .223/5.56 rifles with stunning success on caribou. They will no doubt do a fine job on smaller game. On a later hunt I killed a nice bull with several 70 grain Barnes X bullets. It was the wrong bullet used in the wrong way, the...

For the umpteenth time, I had nothing but a good experience with a fine shooting solid rifle, and Mr. Searcy.

First off if they’re not gun people they dang sure should become gun people if they think they going to use a firearm for any type of defensive purposes, period. They’d only be fooling themselves and no one else otherwise. There are trainers in Anchorage and the Mat Su Valley that can help...

Here’s an idea. How about everyone wise up and stay off garbage social media sites where for the price of every bit of information you give them you get all the vitriol, divisiveness, hatred and contempt you can stand. I’d say the plan is working wonderfully. I should have added that if the...

On about November 6th it started with almost 3 ft of wet heavy tree crushing snow, knocking the power out for thousands in Anchorage. It’s been piling up ever since. -6 Fahrenheit here today, only 4 1/2 more months of winter.

I should have said my friends pulled the front trigger first.

I agree with just about everything Red Leg said, however after watching my friends, inexperienced double rifle shooters to be sure, both have accidental doubles by pulling the rear trigger first on my .470 NE I decided to teach myself to do it the other way around. It worked beautifully.

Not a beater but rather a good daily driver. Pre “64” model 70, stainless Lothar Walther bbl, Pacific Research stock, cerakoted, in 338-06.

Lineman in Alaska.

A coworker told me about an Appleseed shoot he’d attended a couple years ago and it sounded like it was very basic but interesting. I got on line, downloaded the target they use and the next time I went to the range I used my shot timer and shot the course of fire according to the rules. It is...

I guess when they supposedly only made 250 of them, that may explain a few things. The one I have is an extremely good shooter, which I was Very relieved to discover. It handles nice, looks good, dang near a perfect rifle.

I paid a little extra for the .275 version but Not that bad!

I’d crimp them but I’d back it off a little bit.
