Different monometal bullets vary as much in performance as different cup and core bullets. Try the Barnes TTSX. I tried TSX’s on deer and quickly quit them. Fifteen years ago, someone I respected with a lot of experience encouraged me to try the TTSX, so I did. It quickly proved itself and...

Using a bipod with some height with a sling with butt on the ground, left knee and arm up for support can be very stable with practice. Trigger Sticks are the fastest and easiest to adjust tripod for me, but this year I have been using the Bog Death Grip. It is incredibly stable, rock solid as...

Ok, a full body mount of a rhino is incredible. Outstanding!

Guys, I am going to keep this one. I like it too much and it fills a very useful niche. Guess the striking similarity to the Model 70 I used for the first half of my life is too powerful. Sorry for the flip flop, but even my wife is encouraging me to keep it.

passing this along in case anyone has some of the affected ammo. https://www.nosler.com/explore/customer-support/product-recalls.html

Offering this with very mixed emotions. My wife is saying keep it, but I just spent a chunk on some major work on our house. This is a drop in the bucket, but the third and most recent .338 in the safe, so the easiest to let go. Also please see my other listing for a beautiful Heym Martini...

$14,500 Your wife wants you to be happy at Christmas. Some music for enjoyment.

Ok, a few folks have expressed interest, but no firm offers so far. Since there is such a range of shipping costs and scope thus rings preferences, I am going to drop it to $14,950 plus the actual cost of shipping. Alaska Arms 30mm rings are separate and available if you want them for $250...

Beautiful, best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Hartmann & Weiss has hired Ralf to work for them. So he has moved back to Germany. Guess they were worried about Heym encroaching on their high end market. Ralf is a super nice person. Now I wish I would have ordered one of his full custom builds.

Thinning out some of my rifles that are not being used. First offered is a Heym Martini in .416 Rigby, which I purchased directly from Ralf Martini, the designer of this updated Heym rifle. Ralf handled importing it to me through Border View importers in Washington. The importer’s mark is...

Here is a link to a FN in .270 that someone stuffed into a left hand stock. So it is priced well to use as a donor. I have one in .30-06 I would never let go at that price. They are beautifully built rifles. Stick to the FN marked rifles with the flag safety. JC Higgins and other rebranded...
