    If money were no object, where would you hunt and why

    They winter in Sam Houston Natl Forest. I was invited down to hunt them by a couple guys from FTW that I’ve quail hunted with but it’s too snakey for this midwestern boy.

    New Ruger Alaskan 9.3x62 Review

    Took my Ruger African 35 Whelen to the range the other day after swapping out the trigger spring. I’d been shooting factory 224 Accubonds, 200 TTSX and Oryx with surprisingly good accuracy. Tried the Partisions and had 50% light strikes. Switched back to the Accubond and no problems. I’ll...

    Simple trigger improvement on a Ruger Hawkeye

    Swapped it out. Brought the pull down to 2.20 lbs. About 1.5 less than the factory spring. Easy peasy, so far. Hopefully test accuracy later this week. May need to buy a torque ratchet to get the front screw to 95. Thanks for the help guys!
