    Affordable starter/donor rifle

    As someone who bought a cheap SKS as my first hunting rifle at a young age I have to go against the grain here. AR 15 variants and calibers have come a long way and are a decent affordable and easily modified option. From adjustable stocks to easily swapped out uppers and garage friendly...

    Need Spotting Scope Help Before Purchase

    I bought a Leupold Mark IV a few weeks ago using 10% Tuesdays and my Cabelas points it brought the price down nicely. It still hasn't arrived but the reason I ordered it sight unseen is due to the incredible clarity on my Leupold scopes. They are definitely better than almost anything out...

    New Texas Suppressor Bill Signed by Gov. Abbott

    According to a lawyer friend it doesn't require a sacrificial patriot to test the law. Just patience while it goes through the legal process. It should be evaluated by the higher courts upon request to see if it has merit and whether or not it will protect citizens. This seems strange for...

    Caliber selection

    Since you asked, I would recommend a 300 WSM, love mine and shoots like a laser.

    Where isn't an ill. ret. legal?

    Eloquently put, but no I am not a lawyer. I do deal a great deal in Federal regulations and their interpretation. I agree, when possible be on the good side of your enforcers but don't depend on them for interpretation. I think it wise to be aware of the increasing regulations outlining our...

    Where isn't an ill. ret. legal?

    Legislators don't write hunting proclamations, department of natural resources and departments of wildlife do. They know what they are writing (not that the enforcers always know). We're not talking about the politically swayed BATFE who charges some one for putting a scope on a gun without...

    Where isn't an ill. ret. legal?

    If we are to discuss this I think the wording being questioned should be shared. The way I have seen it worded is sights that project (ie laser) are prohibited for hunting. Granted I don't go and read other states proclamations, but have lived and hunted in nearly a dozen states and don't ever...

    LH, Southpaws, Right minded...

    I just wanted to get some general feedback from others like me. I have four generations of hunters and am the only southpaw (some years deer camp numbers in the high 70s-80s). I have a couple hunting/target rifles but am going to really get into the long range end of things. My primary...

    Any precision shooting minded Gunsmiths in Utah??

    There are a few that frequent Parley's shooting range that do amazing jobs. The guy's face that comes to mind has a german accent and prefers the 6mmbr but always has unbelievable results (if I didn't see him do them I wouldn't believe they are even possible. I hope that helps. Dave, the...

    LH, Southpaws, Right minded...

    I recently found this forum while researching long range shooting (after decades of shooting I finally am serious about learning the science behind the bang). First thing I noticed in looking at the posts is there are more left handed individuals than I'm use to so I would like to ask, how many...
