I also have a Beretta 626E but mine has a 26 inch barrel and Beretta Mobil chokes. I bought it for upland hunting but found out that I do better with it at skeet and sporting clays than with my Beretta 694. We have some side by side matches around here where most of the competitors are using...

I have two thoughts 1. The PH was showing Marcus how to chamber a round silently, which leads to the presumption that Marcus was not allowed to have a round in the chamber. This might be a standard practice by the PH for all clients or it might be that the PH did not trust Marcus with a round...

What is this “too many” thing of which you speak??

Good luck with your hunt in Spain. Last year my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago where we stayed in a hotel that had massive roe deer racks in the dining room. I hope you get one that big. It also gave me an itch to go after one myself.

I have a Mark X that looks very similar except that it says Mark X on the receiver instead of Whitworth. It only says Whitworth on the recoil pad. It has the same case hardened grip cap and a three leaf rear sight. The wood looks very similar as does the cheek piece.

That is much nicer wood than most Tikkas. I have a wood stocked Tikka that looks like stained birch.

Blackhorn 209 does not exchange exactly with black powder. 100 grains of FFG is equivalent to 82 grains of Blackhorn, which is why many of us Blackhorn users weigh charges rather than use a volume measurement. Blackhorn also produces a lot less smoke than Black Powder and cleans up much easier...

Thanks for letting me know. Wallabees is the Clark trade name for their brand of desert boots. I have been wearing them since the...

Taiwanese already speak Mandarin. When Chiang-Kai Shek took power he made it very uncomfortable to speak Taiwanese and Mandarin became the official language. In the interim, Mao “simplified” written Mandarin while Taiwan continued to use the traditional written form.

A 31/2 inch 12 gauge turkey load has 71 foot pounds of recoil. I only shot mine once from the bench. A 3 inch 2 ounce turkey load also has stout recoil in my 6 1/2 pound turkey gun.

South Carolina still allows shooting an hour after sunset. The logic is that it is allows finishing off a wounded deer. A knife would also work, though.

The Redhead ripstop shirt is on sale for $17 right now. I just bought another in green.

I am really sorry to hear this. At Clemson, if anyone asked what to do on weekends the answer was “Go to Atlanta”.

Scientific name Alces Alces is also called moose or Eurasian elk. In Canada we call grouse partridge and call walleye pickerel. It is quite common to call the same species by different names in different places. The one most confusing to me is bonito, which can be either delicious or...
