Does anyone have a good load for a 44 mag for a rifle? Have a friend who recently bought a lever rifle and he is struggling for groups at 100 yards. Seems to be able to get good groups at 50 however. Maybe too much to expect at 100?

Just back from Namibia. Wore Crispi Attiva mid height boots. Worked great. Wear whatever you find comfortable. Bought my leather gators at an agriculture store in Namibia a few years ago. About $25 US for ones with a zipper up the back.

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease a couple of years ago. The dr figures I had had for three to four years. It settles in my knees and lower spine. Had difficulty walking for months. Did two 28 day cycles of doxy followed by 28 days of IV antibiotics. Lost approximately two inches of muscle in my...

Over the past few years, I have gradually found myself purchasing most of my hunting products from EuroOptic. Rifles, optics, and most recently boots all come to mind. Most I order online but at least a few times a year, I make the two hour drive to the show room. The customer service at both is...

Greetings from Blair Co. welcome aboard

Yogi is a heck of a PH. I’ll not forget the “yogi stare” when I made a noise while tracking. And I’d have a jack russell if it behaved like Moya.

I’ll take 1c for the Ruger. Let me know how to make payment

I just ordered a box of Barnes, Remington, and Nosler from Schells to try. Hopefully one of the five show good accuracy out of the Tikka. Then I’ll stock up!!!

Thanks for the info everyone. I’m finding the locally available selections to be very limited as PA is not a straight walled state. However, I was able to pick up a box of Hornady American Whitetail in 170 gn SP and Hornady Custom 165 gn FTX at the local gun shop to try when this weather breaks...

I just purchased a Tikka T3X in 350 Legend from EuroOptic that was on close out. I suspect the very favorable pricing was due to it being a “leftover” with an unthreaded barrel. While I don’t anticipate using it for whitetails here in PA, when I hunt one of the straight wall cartridge states of...

Why all the hate? I’ve picked up several of these “newer” calibers simply to play. Did the 300 PRC, or back further 300 WSM, do anything my 300 WM or 300 H&H wouldn’t? Nope. But it sure has been fun picking out a rifle, scope mount, and scope to play with. And then finding the right bullet...

Greetings, My brother and I have hunted with Johann a number of times the past few years. Our last visit was this past April. As noted, he is in the process of selling his property and has moved his operation to Byseewah. We hunted there a few days last year. Nice place. Lots of game. Feel...
