    Bullets vs Tracking Game

    I like light for caliber bullets that will give me 2 holes in case they decide to run off. In 61 years of deer hunting I've had 2 deer run farther than 50 yards. Don't remember any that made it to 100. Most were in the central PA hills. I always tried to shoot'em about half way up, tight...

    Win model 70 question

    Christensen arms ridgeline or mesa

    What's the best value in a 700 clone action?

    You might look at the Gunwerks GRB. A gunsmith buddy of mine loves them.

    Scope got knocked; Has it spoiled your hunt?

    NOPE. Can't be. Mechanical devices are prone to fail. The above two MAY be of the best, but nothing on this planet is foolproof.
