    10mm handgun

    FN, Sig Sauer, Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson all make 10mm autos, as well as Glock. I have a Gen3 G20, which has been good to me.

    SOLD/EXPIRED Shorter barreled rifle

    Might as well get a Ruger American Predator model, offered in both calibers as well as either 18" or 22" barrels.

    Beretta BRX1

    Interesting, I handled the Savage straight pull version, it was much heavier compared to a standard bolt, I also felt it didn't handle as well either. Maybe this Beretta version is better? I don't remember which brand it was, but I handled a straight pull made by a German gun maker, ( I think...

    Hammer Bullets: Worth the Hype?

    I haven't tried them hunting, but accuracy and speed have been amazing! Without even trying to get top speeds, I've found a gain of fps...

    How many use “Old” Scopes?

    I own 2 such scopes, one is a 3-9x40 Nikon that sits on top of my 243, it works just as good as the day I bought it, so no need to change it, also own a Leupold VX-2 which is also a 3-9x40, that sits on my 308, again it works great, so that won't be changed either. Both have seen use out to 300+...

    I need a copper remover

    You should not be having a copper fouling build up, if you only had the rifle a year and haven't shot it that much,(less than 100 rounds). Personally I don't believe copper fouling plays as big a role as we are told to believe. I have never used a copper cleaning agent on any of my firearms and...

    6.5 prc enough gun for elk

    I don’t disagree with you. Bring a rifle that you’re very comfortable with. But when talking to various guides and the 6.5 whatever comes up in the first minute or two of conversation, it does make you wonder.

    45 ACP on Brown Bear.????

    To answer the OP, yes as I recall there was a gentleman that used a 1911 and successfully took down a grizzly with it. It happened not long after carrying in National Parks was allowed. Don’t know what ammo was used, but he did empty his pistol on the bear. Saved himself and his wife from being...

    6.5 prc enough gun for elk

    While I don't have any personal experience with anything 6.5mm, I will say this, every outfitter/guide that I have talked to has been honest and said please do not bring anything 6.5. They've had nothing but problems with wounded animals and people believing they are better marksman, then they...

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    Recoil doesn't bother me too much, have shot some nasty recoiling rifles that were non-magnums and shot some magnums that were a real pleasure to shoot. But as some have posted, as I get older, I'm looking for less recoil.

    Remington VTR

    From my understanding, the triangular shape was to provide stiffness, similar to a "bull" barrel, with a lighter barrel weight. I personally have never seen one, but they were supposedly tack drivers.

    What is your favorite hunting knife?

    I've been using a Buck 110 or Vanguard and a Havalon for the last dozen years or more.

    New Hornady outfitter 270 wsm

    The only rifle I had any luck with GMX was in 243, all the other calibers I own, didn't like it. I have since settled on using Barnes.
