    Full stock hunting rifles?

    My cousin Joe has a 452 CZ mannlicher stocked in 22lr. It has a metal end cap, and he coats every bullet with Alox. He showed me a 3/8" group he shot with it--at 100 yds! I have a Shilen barreled 77/22 I restocked as a mannlicher, but it is free floated--it will shoot a bughole at 50 yds with...

    Snake Gaiters for Australia

    From what I'm seeing in the pictures, the snakes must strike pretty low. That's the info I would need in order to make a choice. I own what I believe are the best snake gaiters on earth. They are from Orvis (don't know if they still have them) and reach up to cover the whole shin. They are...

    .375 H&H for Lower 48 Game

    The late Don Henry of the Mannlicher Collectors Assoc. used a 375 H&H on elk hunts, as they hunted knife edge ridges in the Cascades. He wanted them to absolutely drop to the shot, not go off the edge and down into a nightmare retrieval situation. But he never claimed it was a light stalking...

    What have you killed with the 8x57?

    Can't speak for the 8X57J but the 8X57JR is pretty easy to purchase.

    Stop in for Supper, friend

    Some of the best cooking comes from he most unexpected places. My nephew the plumber was fixing a gas leak on my house Sun. evening. I said "what's in that bag you put in the fridge?" He said just a bunch of ribs he had grilled up on the 4th. That boy had marinated with Dr. Pepper, put on a rub...

    DOES ANYONE REMEMBER SANDI PATTI'S STAR SPANGLED BANNER RENDITION IN 1987?? OMG, THAT GIRL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LIMITATION ON HIGH NOTES....IT JUST GOES INTO THE RANGE ONLY DOGS CAN HEAR, LOL. Of course, she did have the Mormon Tabernacle Choir backing her up--and she drowned them out/left them...

    Letting some hot air out of Robert Ruark

    Perhaps I should have noted that while having read The Old Man and the Boy, Something of Value, and Use Enough Gun.....this is my first time going through Horn of the Hunter. Still becoming a bit maddening as so far no heart/lung shot has been taken, nor recommended. Virginia shot a beast in the...

    Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges of all time

    I once knew a guy who switched from a 300 WM to a 280, in the middle of a hunt, because he thought the 280 was "luckier." Some of our longest arguments are all in our own head. A no argument three to literally bag truck loads of game? 22lr, 30'06, 12 ga shotgun. (375 H&H if rifles only) God...

    Politics

    Time to bomb what counts and thin the herd. The water treatment, the power generation and dams, the food delivery, and the army regulars. That's what they will understand. They may have to be crushed to be defeated. And they need to be defeated for any lasting peace Right now, they say they will...

    I have Hoof in the Mouth disease.....had no idea it was not just some generic picture. And what hockey team did you say she played for, again? Besides, I probably meant the other one.... Oh God, just let the ground swallow me up, please.

    If you had to start your gun collection over.

    Grandpa Moose, have you ever considered a Mannlicher Schoenauer? Folks who know them like them. I can certainly recommend them. You would probably be happier if you would only consider trying them....lol
