    What is the rifle you passed by that you regret not buying

    Was offered approximately 25 handguns that had been turned in to the Sheriff of Morton Grove, Illinois when they enacted their handgun ban. Sheriff was selling them out of state, wanted $3500. I was young, idealistic, didn't want to get involved. Included in the lot were several 1920-30 fully...

    Why Hammer Bullets Are Always Faster

    Would expect the results to mirror what is observed. I'm only 7,657 posts behind you, indicates I haven't had the time in the last few years of my career to keep up with everything on this site. Will check out the Hammer Forum. Thanks for info.

    Why Hammer Bullets Are Always Faster

    Like this idea. The engineers in the group should be able to determine and compare initial engraving force, etc. as well as differences in required force throughout the projectiles transit through the barrel.

    Budget build scope rings

    Take a look at the ApexHorizon rings on Amazon ($66.99) that come with titanium clamps. Very robust, well made. Put these on a Cooper .280AI last year using Murphy Precision titanium picatinny rail after an exhaustive search for titanium rings came up empty other than these. Well, there was a...

    How I prepare my knees for 8 western mountain backpacking trips per year...at age 77

    Specific recommendations from the Tennessee Titans team physician as he was treating my knee meniscus issues several years ago were quite concise: quadriceps, hamstring strengthening exercises (on weight machines @ local gym).

    Ever See This Deer Deformity???

    Only picture I've gotten of her. Haven't seen her live. Picture is from southern Kentucky. Have several pictures of cougars, many coyotes, few bobcats. Despite that she looks relatively healthy.

    Ever See This Deer Deformity???

    Picture of this doe showed up on a trail camera recently. She appears healthy other than the 180 degree corkscrewed appearance of her upper neck/head. Neck is obviously very thin in this region. Assuming she suffered an injury at birth or very young age. Amazing that she could cope and...

    Just mounted a Murphy Precision 20 MOA titanium picatinny on a new LR Cooper .300 WM. Machining, appearance is like a work of art. I’m sure there are other brands that are equally nice but you ought to check them out.

    Brown bear Rifle

    I've never had the chance to hunt a brown bear; but, think I'd look closely at the size of this bears paws, then take what made me feel warm and fuzzy. Believe this one was 10'6", weighed between 1000-1200lbs.
