I was ml hunting with my Savage 10ml shooting smokeless powder, and had practiced out past 300 yards, and was confident to that distance. I was much younger and endured the countless shots and punishing recoil pushing those 300 grain XTP's at a fairly good clip back in those days. It was opening...

There were a couple of guys that worked turnarounds a few years ago that came to Barnsdall, OK, and neither had married, they bought a ranch in Texas together and put a vehicle together to kill hogs. This thing turned night to light, and they had guns mounted on turrets that they manned while on...

I've said it here before that the most expensive thing I ever did was look through my cousin's NF scope. I still own several Leupold's, they're on most of my rimfires, and I have a Mark IV on my 22-250 that has served me well for quite a while, but both of my hunting rifles have NF on them. I...

kill them all

I couldn't help but notice the bolt handle is on the wrong side. :cool: Nice rifle

I use .010, and have found my rifles generally like them about .020 off the lands, so when I do get a new rifle I want to shoot Bergers out of I generally start there. I'm fairly certain every rifle I've owned but one that I shot Bergers out of liked it right there. Had one 6.5-284 Norma that...

Haven't had to send one of their scopes in for years, but every time I did, they fixed it and did it in a very timely manner. Still own several, and shoot several of them fairly regularly. The Mark IV on my 22-250 is kinda old, but it's been a dandy since I bought it new.

My first rule in hunting is do not hunt critters that can eat me; to each his own, I have no opinion of anyone else hunting whatever they want, but ten-foot bears, African Lions, even Cape Buffalo. Moose is dangerous enough and I have never had the opportunity to hunt them, but I would. I've...

Yes, it is terrible. A man can carry a deer by himself easier than this, at least that was my experience, but my deer carrying days are over. I drive my front-end loader to them now.

I remember when I could wake up and be out of the house in fifteen minutes. I was hunting whitetail and not elk, but I'd put five cartridges in my pocket, make sure my knife was sharp, and drive to my access points where I would walk the three miles to the back of the public land I hunted for...

I killed my first bull around the same time. I was in my early forties and I had him boned and bagged when my cousin got to me with the horses a couple hours later. There’s no way I could do that now. I killed a cow a few years ago and I was well over three hours boning her. I think I had her...

That's why I hunt rag horns where I can drive my four-wheeler within half a mile. Probably never kill a big bull there, but there's plenty of meat for the freezer, and I'm definitely a meat guy, and that's why I can't hike in five miles and get an elk out lol.

My only experience is with the 7mm 195 EDL Elite Hunter, and they have been fantastic from my 28 Nosler on whitetail and elk. Shot elk out to almost 900, and watched them die, whitetail well past 500, and the same. I've shot plenty of deer up close with no issues whatsoever. When I first got the...

I have been. Bought a 204 and 223 recently, I’d really like a 17Hornet, 17 Fireball, 222, 22 Hornet, 221 Fireball. I almost pulled the trigger on a rh 222, but showed great restraint lol.

I'm that stubborn sucker that refuses to bow lol. I have been looking at some small caliber rh bolts, but I'm holding out for a lefty
