    Curious about Euro Mount

    This picture was posted by Life Forms Taxidermy a sponsor here. My question is if there is a name understood by taxidermist for mounts.It’s not a typical full euro with most of the skull. It’s cut further into the skull leaving less bone which I kind of like.

    Red Dot Parallax

    Just a little background, I have extensively used Burris Fastfire red dots on slug guns for deer and my Benelli turkey guns. I love red dots. I recently bought a Aimpoint T2 micro for my new 404J and this morning doing some more research on them. Also, my career work is in the optics industry...

    Base suggestions for Aimpoint micro

    Purchased a Aimpoint micro to try out on my 404J. Looking for suggestions. It has the weaver/picittiny base. I have Warne bases now on the gun. QD mounts would be great but I really don’t want it sitting high. It’s a Winchester Model 70. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Ed

    Elk Help Colorado Black Powder

    So I have hunted bow and black powder in Colorado over 20 years. A number of years ago the lodgepole pines were killed off by bugs and now the trees where I love to hunt are falling and getting horses in and hunting is not much fun. Needless to say it’s been 5 years of no bugle hunting and i...

    RCC Brass

    First I have only reloaded shotgun shells. I purchased a 375HH last year and have a 404 Jeffery being built and thought it would be appropriate to start reloading. I have plenty of 375 brass from both Barnes and Swift but am trying to figure out 404 Brass. It appears the only easily accessed...
