    GERD - Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease

    I was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer. I'm a competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder. I never had GERD or acid reflux. No less than 4 doctors misdiagnosed me, otherwise I would not be about to die. According to my oncologist, I have approximately 6 months to live. This has been a...

    Strong Action .45-70 for Buffalo?

    Find a guide who will allow you to bring your 45-70. Unfortunately, a lot of people who have never hunt or even shot the rifle make grave predictions of failure based upon some meaningless energy level numbers. Go to Africa, take your 45-70 and prove them wrong. Yes, I have five (5)...

    Barrel shortening

    Do it, none of my rifles have barrels longer than 20 inches. Must easier to use in the field. You will not regret the reduction in barrel length.

    thoughts on the Browning X-bolt Medallion?

    It's a solid rifle. Browning is one of the few companies that manufacture quality firearms. Mine is the Stainless stalker chambered in 375 H&H. I had my gunsmith reduce the barrel length from 24 to 21 inches. I installed a rear XS ghost ring sight and a fiber optic front sight. This reduced...

    River guide gun in .416 ruger

    I have the Ruger Alaskan rifles in 375 and 416 Ruger. Both are lightweight hard hitting rifles. In Alaska or Africa I recommend the 416. It will lay waste to your game.

    Hiking Rifle cartridges

    My hiking rifle is my Nosler M-48 outfitter chambered in 458 win mag. It weighs 7 lbs. I hate lugging around heavyweight firearms. That's why I taught and disciplined myself over a period of six years to master my lightweight big bore handguns and rifles.
