Welcome, I'm between Rochester and Buffalo, are you in Wayne County Walworth, Macedon area? Tell us about yourself. KC

I have fond memories of the .356 Winchester. The shop I worked for in the late '80s rechambered Contenders from 35 Rem to .356 Win to avoid the headspace problems encountered with the 35 Rem. I hunted with one for several years using the 200 gr Speer Flat points, very effective for whitetails.

I have done it, but I always resize the necks for consistent tension.

You're referring to box blinds; we don't use them. Blinds are any type of "hide" usually natural on our land. I hunted from my son in laws box blind twice on their farm and felt disconnected like I was hunting from inside a house, nothing wrong with it just not for me.

Agreed, I've packed several moose and would shoot one IN the garage if possible.

That did cross my mind. Maybe buck#1 was the test and #2 was the reward. I hope I wasn't looking a gift horse in the mouth, forgive me Hunt God...

I guess not much difference except with the blind a person in actively hunting, shooting from a house window seems more like killing and would not be a testament of woodsmanship or stealth and does not (in my mind) seem like the way I would want to claim this class animal. The "hunt" is more...

Has anyone felt their hunting ethics were tested by the hunting gods? Mine were tested twice this year: The first one was 3 weeks ago while hunting a specific buck on our property. Two bucks were full out fighting behind my stand 15 minutes before sundown, 75 yards over the line on my...

The owner/head gunsmith I worked for 35 yrs ago used rosin between the rings and scope tube on the heavy recoiling rifles and slug guns, seemed to work great.

Beautiful rifle from a real gentleman, no worries buying from SkullKeeper.

No need for premium bullets for deer from a .308 Win. I have used 150 gr Federal Fusion and Winchester power points with great success. I am now experimenting with 168 gr Hornady A Max but have not used them on game yet. Apparently although the A Max is considered a target bullet, they perform...

Yes, it is the aerosol that I use. A light coat on a paint brush is all that's needed.

7mm Winchester Short Mag.??

Maybe a little off subject but regarding protection. I have gone to Fluid Film on for my needs of rustproofing and firearm protection. The shop I managed had issues with rust from people handling our firearms. At that time, I had a good customer recommend fluid film applied with a paint brush on...

100% agree with 375er !! I've used everything to hunt waterfowl and never noticed a difference, your new Beretta will be perfect. I'm not a fan of Benelli's, I owned one and patterned 2 others and they pattern way too high for my liking. Beretta's fit me well, pattern nicely and have been very...
