My eight year old son got his first deer the first sunday of youth season. The shot was at about 60 yards with a 223 AR-15 using the barnes 62 gr. TSX. The buck took two steps and tipped over dead. The first sunday of our gun opener I took this nice buck he was bedded in a clearcut and I...

I have a Remington sp10 that shoots 3.5 in 10ga shells for geese. I was shooting a beretta 391 3" 12ga but the 10ga has less recoil and better pattern. They are both gas autos but the 10ga weighs about 3 pounds more.

The Adirondacks are a large area I am familiar with lake George to long lake. What info are you looking for?

Video cameras shoot at a max resolution of 1920px X 1080px so most dslr cameras down sample the image. If you have a camera and take a picture and zoom in and it is sharp that is one thing, IT IS NOT THE SAME AS VIDEO. Unfortunately there is no cheap way to get there from here. I have a...

I would like to stay with the 260 either the tikka or the savage LRH. I have never been to impressed with the savage rifle composite stocks but it might have to do.

I have been looking at the tikka rifles for a while and the savage LRH I will look at the cdl as well what twist rate is ideal for the 130's?

280 is a real possibility the other issue is I currently do not reload but do plan to start over the winter

I am going to be hunting some larger clear cuts in VT I am looking for a rifle to shoot deer and the occasional black bear -- ranges from very close to a max of 500 yards. I am also not a huge fan of the recoil of the magnum calibers and do not want use a break. I have been looking at the 260...

My taxideremest is one of the best in the world, he has won many national competitions and made the molds for the current world record typical Hansen buck. Anyways was up paying him a visit and saw the "X factor" a FARM RAISED DEER. This is the biggest deer in existence at over 500 inches...

I am ready for muzzle-loader season to start to see what else is up in those mountains. It is extremely beautiful area to hunt the only thing that would make it more beautiful is a bunch of deer. The mountain bucks are a different breed of whitetail, can't wait to chase them again.

I have sat on some decommissioned tracks in the NY adirondacks . 15 years ago there was a bunch of benchrest shooters who had a bench on the tracks and would shoot deer way out there with benchrest guns. Never actually saw them doing it but my father in law knew a few of them, he said they made...

Well biggest body weight deer I have killed some bigger racks. We have a 3500 acre plot in the mountains of VT. Not seeing but one deer the first two days left me more than discouraged. The winter kill was terrible last winter. These are big mountain deer and are not that plentiful to begin...

Just getting my first long range rig I really want to start with a factory rifle. I settled on the CZ 550 varmint in 308. The barrel twist rate is 1 in 12, the standard seems to be more like 1 in 10. I will be shooting factory ammo probably 168 or 178. Is there any disadvantages to the faster...

I have been looking for a 308 for hunting deer out to 600 yards I like the laminate stocks on the two guns listed above. I have a few CZ rifles already and they shoot 1/2" moa. Have not shot any of their larger center fire rifles. One question on the CZ guns is how easy is it to replace a...
