    What other MIL/MIL scope options are out there?

    Not sure if this is what you want, lower end optic, but SWFA SS have a mil/mil. I have read good reviews on them and they are reasonably priced. They have variable and fixed power scopes. Give them a look. 3x-15x by 42 FFP with a 30mm tube $699.00 DinoS

    Savage headspace question

    I did the tape thing as well, I now own a go and no-go gauge for both my savage rifles, different calibers. I did not want things to bo K-plewie when they were only suposed to go bang. I'm cheap but this isn't where I will cheap out. The gauges are not all that much money. After all my...

    loading bergers for 300WSM

    BROZ, as I was Typing the I kill faster I use Berger I thought I would get a lot of flack but I didn't care. When I saw with my own eyes what they can do, I believe. These bullets will work great for me, they are frangable and will not tollerate being shot through brush and that's ok with me...

    Heading up to Ontario in a couple of days!

    Sorry you were unable to connect. I was up in the Nipigon area this week. While taking a break for coffee hunting grouse a bear walked out at less than 200 yards. Pulled out the 300WSM and it was DRT. If you can find an outfitter, required for a non resident, in the Manitoauge area, WMU 21B...

    loading bergers for 300WSM

    I went on a 3 day trip with the 300 but did not get the chance to stretch the legs on this load. I have not shot it through the chrono yet either. I did however get to see what the 185's do to a bear. I was hunting chickens (Grouse) with my cousin with the 22's and scouting for good moose...

    loading bergers for 300WSM

    The E mail I got from berger states RL17 max load 60.9gn with the hunting 185 vld. so you are under max. I just shot the first 40 rounds through my Savage 300WSM with a McGowan 24" 10 twist and the bergers were grouping great. I loaded 5 of each load from 56-61.5gn. to check accuracy and look...

    Blow a Duck call for him if you would..

    I will blow a call to that. I lost my female black mid season last year to a large tumor in her abdomen. I didn't know it was there. She was retrieving geese on monday and I layed her to rest on wednesday. I gave away my two man layout boat the next day, after 11 years together I didn't seem...

    Canadian goose decoy recommendations

    I use 3 dozen wind sock decoys. I can carry them, my blind and gun into the field alone......one trip. You also get motion when wind is variable. They work for me. Dino

    I just cant eat this.

    Came home from a hunt with 17 Canada's, two day hunt, early season limit of 8 per day. The guy next door asked what I planned on doing with them. When I cooked a few I brought some to his house and asked him to try it. I said if you don't like it spit it out, I would not be offended. He...

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place

    I looked for a section on Moose hunting but did not see one. I am of the understanding that Elk are tougher to kill than moose so with that I thought I would ask here. On another site I visit a guy stated he uses Sierra Match Kings for hunting. He states it's similar to using the Berger VLD...

    Savage model 12 scope mount

    I have a set of Burris med rings on a heavy barreled Howa M1500 and the 44mm objective lens is almost to close for comfort. The stock on this build has an adjustable Cheek piece so the weld should be easily adjusted. The EGW base is a little thicker than the burris dovetail that I used on the...
