    Screw in chokes on expensive guns

    Yeah, that makes sense. The lead/bismuth chokes will handle all the use cases you mentioned above, but I'd probably add the extra $100 for the upgraded chokes. You can shoot lead through the up rated chokes. As other have said, they will pattern differently with lead than the other set, but not...

    WSJ Growing Push To Protect Trophy Hunting In Africa

    USFWS budget has fallen every year under Trump and he mandated staffing cuts of over 30% during his first year in office. In FY23 they received $1.77B in discretionary funding, the executive request for next FY is $1.33B. You seem to be worried about newly elected democrats doing what Trump is...

    Screw in chokes on expensive guns

    All screw in chokes don't have to protrude from the end of the barrels. Briley make great chokes and a huge variety of them. I have them in O/Us and SA shotguns, for clays and hunting. They have all worked great. They make flush fit chokes and also have several of their chokes finished in "Black...

    Bullet Performance Database

    I had the same thing happen to me this year. 145 Grain ELDX from a .270. The first shot was a perfect double lung at 250 yds. That shot passed through and the deer looked hit, but didnt run off, so I hit him again. The 2nd shot hit the backstrap/under side of the spine and exploded. I found the...

    Deer Season 2026

    Both my buddies and I had a successful 2nd Rifle Season in Colorado. They each dropped a Doe on opening day and I was lucky enough to Harvest this beefy 7 point on the 2nd day of the season. One shot from the .270 at exactly 250 yards did the trick. The weather was miserable on opening day...

    A STRANGE CUSTOM WINCHESTER MODEL 70 - 50 BME CAL ? Descriptio

    Maybe a .50 Beowulf? ".50 Beowulf" is trademarked by the inventor, so anyone else modifying a rifle to this spec would need to mark it something else. The action length appears to be in the right range. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_Beowulf

    Sako 90

    This video is over 2 1/2 years old (jan 2024) so the future is now. The Sako website does show one model available in .375 H&H, but nothing bigger yet. In the below video from the Same Group (TFB TV) they shot a sub $1000 Tika T3, next to a $4000 + Sako 90 quest and the cheaper rifle shot...

    Community Designed AH Hunting Knife

    Mine delivered today, less than an hour after I left for the airport. Haha. I will be back Friday evening and will finally lay hands on it then. Thankfully, I wasn't charged any customs, it actually moved through the incoming airport rapidly. I've had packages sit in customs for weeks before, so...

    Delta Airlines - What Am I Missing

    Just like United and Delta. (all major US airlines really) No one seems to notice that the US airlines stopped bitching about the gulf carriers receiving subsidies after they received a collective $62 billion in taxpayer dollars during Covid, most of which they never have to pay back. Also...

    Right to Hunt & Fish on Colorado Ballot

    I really hope it gets on the ballot, but I have serious concerns regarding the validity of those 180,000 signatures when you read the fine print of the requirements. I live in South Denver and the closest location they were taking signatures was about a 20 min drive from me. Nobody was there the...
