Barrels need breaking in and cleaning? :LOL:

Imo every rifle should be made with this trigger guard

Pour a double, eat some edibles, and watch this legend late at night

If flat ground, I personally just switch back and forth from left arm cradle to right hand when things get thicker. Slings are not meant for walking around all lazylike imo; they are primarily for when your hands are going to be needed (climbing a hillside, carrying extra clothes/seat, bringing...

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

Smart move on the nickel and brass; I was thinking the same thing when I was reading it.

I would pick the 260 but I just have a personal vendetta against long range shooting (which it was designed for). Imo the Creedmoor is still a fad, although ammo should be readily available in the distant future since so many rifles are out there. The 260 has plenty of factory ammo and easy to...

I wouldn't overlook the Savage. Push fed but the bolt locks. Can be had in stainless or blue. Can be had in standard synthetic or aluminum supported. I use a blued rifle for my rain gun. As long as you don't keep it in the case all wet, you have a little time to play with. If you are gone more...

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS"

There has been a recently announced lawsuit by the State of NY against 10 online retailers, including Brownells. Allegedly, Brownells has shipped a number of prohibited frames (including one used to assemble a ghost gun and shoot 3 people). State undercover operation ordered a prohibited frame...

Just depends on terrain. People overthink footwear and they think it has to match their hunting pants. I was watching a buffalo hunt on YouTube the other day and the PH was wearing a pair of black and white Converse Chucks

I thought tampa would roll them easily when this started. I consider Vasilevskiy as the best hockey player in the world the past few seasons (with exception of maybe Draisaitl), but he has had a tough go of it this round. Elite goalies do not play games like game 1. I do wonder if there is an...

I am a big fan of waist packs since my neck and shoulders won't support backpacks any more. I have several different sizes. I like the smaller ones bc if you overload the big ones they tend to sag down. I would suggest a medium fanny pack with as many pockets as you can get - including on the...

I caught a few brownies in the river on my 3 trips, but the shear quantity of rainbows and cutthroats are in the lakes. I always loved catching the graylings, my favorite

One of our friends were there and had to be evacuated. Millions are going to have their vacations canceled and lots of local businesses affected. Hopefully enough folks keep their reservations and visit Cody, West, and Gardiner as well as the national forest. Crazy

Regarding the bbq tools, I think the price point will be important bc I see these types of things as a unneeded novelty. Imo you want to keep retail within someone's birthday/ fathers day gift or holiday weekend budget.

Negative on Maine moose again for the 10th year. Very hard draw

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

The ones we saw this week certainly didn't have a care in the world. At one point baby was about 3 feet away from the car. Mama probably wouldn't have liked us cubnapping it though

I would look for a FMJ, cci used to load it. I assume they still do. I would make sure a fmj is legal

I dont have much time to write as I'm packing for a vacation, but... I would not put a specific order to these 1. Price/Value. Some packages are complete garbage and other are great 2. Animals must be born on property 3. Size of single properties - i want very large 4. Strong preference to...

I should add that by full price, I also mean packages that just about everyone offers

You might think you are getting a good deal, but in the end you are probably paying full price when it's all said and done. Unless the outfitter is one you would ordinarily put on your shortlist, I think it is best to pick the hunt you want.

You mean whisky

Browning T bolt - straight pull

I am a fan of the Tbolt. They are not going to be the most accurate nor are they the strongest (not really nessissary in rimfire) but it is finished appropriately for its price. Safety is on the tang and the magazine is good. Plus, it is unique! I will likely be buying a 22lr tbolt in a few...

The case necks have been splitting ever since the orgins of the 17hmr. However after 5-7 years of storage, they REALLY split. I called CCI some years back complaining about this and they said they are aware of the issue and had started using a different brass formula or coating that would...

Its not your rifle. With the 17hmr, CCI and Winchester are the only ones who manufacture the ammo. Hornady, CCI, Federal, Norma are all CCI. The problem is there is ZERO consistency as CCI simply doesn't give a shit anymore. Winchester is even worse. They literally will use one type of powder...

I just don't trust Barnes bullet, too many reported failures over the years. A frame has an impeccable reputation

This doesn't occur on any sort of regular basis in any other country; and if it does, they make sure it never happens again. The guns and the gun culture in this country are the problem, period. The sunsetting of the assault weapon ban 20 years ago directly has led to this. So many gun owners...

Could mail him a letter. Maybe the post office has a forward address

If the house and shop are empty, I would suspect the bank may own these pieces - or at least one time did and they sold them off. If he lives in a small town, it wouldn't hurt to call a few banks and ask for special assets manager. If the bear has distinguished markings, you might look at some...

I would have probably went with a 54 or 58, but thats neither here nor there now. Do use full 50 cal bullets though. Not sure how it would work logistically, but you will either have to ship components to the outfitter (either by you or by retail) or have the outfitter buy them for you. No...

When in doubt, I would go with the 1/2 Provided you plan on hunting with a jacket on: Ideally imo you set your eye relief and sight in with a recoil pad. When you hunt, you remove it. No more turkey necking

I agree Savannah has the better night life. Although our hotel room in Charleston had a beautiful view of St Michaels that I could have sat and watched all night...

I have found you really need to go a size down on bore snakes or else you will get it stuck

Ah Savannah, Charleston's younger less sophisticated sister... :E Laugh:

I enjoy my BLR 308 pistol grip very much. That said, it's not something I would like to carry all day - the shape is a little awkward. I use it for stand hunting

Dumb question I guess - are finished goods imported differently? ie elephant rifle case being made and shipped common carrier?

Sounds like you got the Optics Planet Special. They show everything in stock but in reality they have to order it from the wholesaler after you order it and half the time they can't get. Been operating like that for a decade. Never again for me

Never heard of this site but they have norma solids in 458lott, 416taylor, and 416remmag 10 for $50 https://www.ammoshoponline.com/shop/

Big difference in the way they hunt bear in Alaska and how cape buffalo and lion are hunted. 300 yards does not seem unreasonable for brown bear

To me, safety location is def a consideration in buying any rifle. Everyone prefers something different. Imo, the 700 safety is a little easier to use than a wing safety, but nothing is easier than a tang. As someone who swapped his model 70 375hh for a Savage 375hh (though I still own both), I...

Regarding trigger weight, I guess it depends on how you are going to use it. If you have gloves on and its 10 degrees out, I wouldn't want to have a 3 pound trigger. 7 would be just fine. I guess in an ideal world 5 would be perfect. Not sure I would spend the money to get them down to 5...

I've read into them. Seems 5-7 pounds is the norm, which seems to be common for a shotgun. I imagine a good gunsmith could get them lowered a bit. Dont know if the cost is 2x that of a single trigger?

The CDS is a solution that the masses didn't ask for or want. 99% of hunters will never need to adjust a reticle up to shoot game with. If the drop is the drop is bigger than the reticle on top of the animals back, its too far to shoot. Besides that, most people couldn't hit an animal at 400...
