    Opticsplanet has a good deal going on right now. I have no affiliation with them.

    New toy

    Is it winter in MN? I can't tell, I'm NW of Cloquet and we don't have any snow, it's 41 and sunny, the river next to me is wide open. Makes me wonder if the fury is going to come 10-fold over the next couple of months or if we're really not going to have a winter.

    Dangerous Game Hunting and the case for bigger not always being better

    First person on planet earth to think A frames are a bullet prone to failure... I've never even read another comment like that with regard to A frames, let alone met anyone that had issues with them.

    Double Rifle Training

    Ok, but give more details. What gauge is the shotgun, where did you get the hornet inserts/who makes them, and show some targets so we can see what kind of accuracy that can be expected. Oh, and do you need a gunsmith to install them. Please

    Wolves Have Been Released in Colorado USA

    Have them bring in Griz, the rich skiers I'm sure are just besides themselves not being able to see the cuddly teddy bears.

    Double vs Bolt .. Speed/Accuracy

    Joe Biden on the bolt, he was lost. None-the-less, it's fair enough, practical accuracy is the goal with these guns, as far as I can tell that guy with the double did great. So whether that was a master titled guy running the bolt and a master titled guy running the double, to some degree...

    500 S&W "Brass Lodged"

    And for what it's worth, if I had problems with extraction, I'd be running one of those hones through my bore as a "let's see if I can fix this." It may, may not, but the reason I knew of them is because I've heard of extraction issues and I researched and prepared for what I'd do. My gun has...

    500 S&W "Brass Lodged"

    So I shoot a load with those cutting edge bullets solids right now, it's from Aria Ballistics, I decided to give them a shot, and from my experience I'd tend to say, proceed with caution, but we'll shelf that, I've got a couple new loads to test before I determine whether I'd completely trust...

    500 S&W "Brass Lodged"

    I have one, haven't had the issue, but yes, have heard of it from hot loads. Of course, the number one thing asked is, when you look in your chamber holes in the cylinder, do you see any pitting or anything like that? But the recommendation regardless tends to be to hone those chambers...

    Best electronic hearing protection?

    The Axil name change. Boy, I got the email a while back and could swear it was to defense hearing (I believe), which, their site is defensehearing.com. But I have my hearing pro so I tend to delete the emails all but immediately. But maybe it was just an announcement regarding the upper end...

    Best electronic hearing protection?

    I wasn't speaking in absolutes. My most expensive at this moment are my Axil GS Digital 2.0, purchased because they claimed 29db NRR, they also had a trial period, in which, I tested that as best I could. 500 S&W 5" total with brake, three 9mms, two have twin port compensators, one is V6...

    Best electronic hearing protection?

    LOL, he said best, not cheapest. They get better as you go up in price, as you can imagine, my current most expensive were about $800, which actually puts them right at about "decent," in reality. Excellent would be $2k+ Good we could call $1k+ Decent $500+ Serviceable sub $500 And I have...

    What?

    That doesn't make it ok though, you understand that right? I mean, if you care about their rules and a business's right to do things as it sees fit. I honestly believe somebody should be taking USPS to court over not shipping handguns and such, items used for constitutionally protected...

    Brno 458 Lott By Jack Lott & AHR

    Dark stock and the pictures are dark and that makes for a tough bit of seeing. But it looks like it may be a Bell and Carlson to which the end user just added some grip texture, akin to what Mike at Tac Ops does on his rifles if one wants to see other examples. Stock is also bedded, I can...
