Has anyone tried this new gun case organizational system from Magul? They call it “Daka” and it’s a rubber grid that you insert different rubber blocks into to keep your guns and other accessories from moving around. Doesn’t look as tight or secure as a foam lined case, but I have been surprised...

Took this whitetail last deer season and got the mount back a couple of days ago. It’s the only whitetail I have had done as a wall pedestal, but I’m super pleased with how it turned out. This old guy had a couple of scars on him and I’m glad the taxidermist didn’t try to “fix” them.

My father and I have always been big fans of Canadian Belt knives when it comes to skinning game. We have had a couple over the years dating back to one purchased by my grand father. Well, my dads birthday is coming up and I found a local custom knife maker to make one for him. I was able to...

I am looking to get a rifle for my 10y/o daughter to start shooting something bigger than the .22lr. I was thinking about starting with a .243 win. The only issue is that I have had it with plastic stock guns and it is terribly hard to find a good wood stock gun these days. Does anyone here...

I’m looking for a lightweight rifle in 270 or 280AI for mountain hunting. My only issue is that I want a nice wood stock and most of these are all synthetic. I know wood adds weight, but I’m willing to carry the extra pound to have a rifle that’s nice to look at.

I have a pelican 1750 double rifle case that works great. I want to buy extra meddle foam inserts to make multiple rifle configurations. Online, you can of course buy factor replacement for $$$ or third part sellers seem to be selling the same for $. Has anyone bought spare third party foam...

I have a Remington 700 that I purchased second hand. It has a muzzle break on it that I’m not too fond of, I tried to get it off without any success. I tried a heat gun to warm it up and still no luck, any suggestions before I head to the gunsmith?

I’m in the market for a day/night scope, thermal is in my budget unfortunately. Im trying to decide between the ATN4k and the sight mark Wraith. Does anyone have experience with these that could point me in the right direction?

This has probably been in a previous thread, but here goes. When I took my impala the horns were a brown/rust color, I looked back at pictures to confirm this. But now, after getting animals back from taxidermist they are a dark almost black color, what’s up? Can I take them back to the original...

The trophies should be state side soon and I was wondering about mounting. Some of these guys are significantly larger and I assume heavier than the whitetails I have on the wall. How do you guys mount them? Wall anchor? Lag bolt to a stud? Thank for your help
