I put a hole the size of my fist in my black bears chest with my 45-70 and the taxidermist assured me they make miles and miles of thread to fix it so it looks normal until you really feel for it on the mount lol
Any hole you make can be fixed.
You are very right.
I do have the fantasy of the old calibers coming back to life and being offered again instead of the newest PRC or ARC caliber. Something about necking up .308 and 30-06 cartridges to 338 or 358 caliber and slapping them fresh on the gun shelves for me to buy new so I can...
I have inquired when purchasing from RHC pretty much the same thing and if I were to have a certain caliber made I would absolutely love the opportunity to pick up a Ruger M77 Hawkeye 338 Federal and 358win both with 20” barrels and irons.
I have a Grices Gun Shop Ruger American 358win but I am...
I have rarely had any issues with my .308s and nothing has ever gotten away. The only time I’ve had to make follow up shots on deer was using some ballistic tips my dad had loaded but I’ve since used regular cup/core SPs from S&B, PPU, federal and Hornady and as long as I do my part everything...
Among the many things I’ve done in my line of work the more recent stunt I pulled was thinking I was going to drive past a tornado and ended up driving into it.
There has been an obnoxious amount of situations I have been in that should’ve killed me and I somehow came out relatively unscathed...
Skinned, gutted and processed several deer and a few wild hogs with mine. I bought a leather sheath on Amazon for it but use ranger bands to hold my sharpener and ferro rod on it.
$15 at Bridgeport, use my kershaw sharpener and I’ve gutted and skinned several deer, opened several boxes, cut the tops off several redbull cans for spitters and anything else that requires a knife and this little guy has paid for itself 10x over.
I have learned (the hard way) that having my sling on my rifle while hunting has presented more issues than solutions.
They had made noise at the swivels, caught on brush and was on my shoulder at the wrong time costing me a few seconds and noticeable unnatural movement. I simply keep my sling...
I had pretty much restarted my collection and I have the rifles and shotguns that will see me on a very broad range of adventures.

I have owned a lot of rifles and every single one of them had one or more things I didn’t like which I would then sell and use that money to buy another.
What I have learned and go by now is Ruger 77 rifles have not let me down one bit and they’re reasonably affordable with the style I like. My...
