I have started using electronic muffs for hunting as they amplify quiet sounds and cut out loud sounds.

I went through and read all of the replies so far. There are some good ones. The quiet brake for one, I put one on my 338. It made a world of difference, but it isn't actually quiet. There is a new one out that is actually quiet. I have only seen one. Instead of a few of holes all the way...

I cannot speak from personal knowledge, but with all the extra work the current administration has put on the BATFE, I imagine the work load has probably been put in other directions that are more important to taming our gun rights rather than speeding up class 3 approvals.

We had a guy come out to our range with an Eliminator. His first problem was he didn't know how the scope worked. He had previously had it mounted on a 223 and he took it off and put it on a 308. He did not even try to sight the scope in after the change. We were shooting at 600 yards with...

Yes, there are many optical sights out there on the market that will fill your need. I understand your desire for the built in range finder, but that does limit your choices to I think two or three brands. You will still need to shoot that rifle at the distances it is reading to ensure that it...

If that doesn't work, try Varget.

Go with the Sako. It is plenty of gun for an Ibex if you do your part. Aim for the top of the shoulder and try to take out the spine.

Not me man! I can find the catsup. I just don't want to. The buck across the canyon? Well, on a good day.

I wish I had the kind of strength I had back then.

I believe it is for lifting hay bales up into the top of a barn. It is heavy so that it can go farther into the bale when it is dropped from up high, then the whole thing is lifted with a block & tackle up into the haymow. (Haymow is the opening you can see in some older photos of barns.)

There was a time when I would have been happy to go after a big bear. Those days are gone so now I just cheer on anyone who has what it takes to pursue bears as game animals. Best of luck on your efforts.

While you are probably right, the childs play you speak of is not even a little like what children would play with. My current hobby is shooting targets at 600 yards and even that can be a bit baffeling depending on the wind and the range.

A bullet that sheds it's jacket before it gets to the target is a bug. If a bullet sheds it's jacket after it enters the target it might be considered a feature.

After talking to a couple of friends who shoot cast bullets, they both seem to think that most people who cast their own bullets use slightly softer lead than what would be described as hard cast. If you add antimony and or tin to the mix you will get a harder bullet and that may be just what...

Yes, I did try it with some small rifle primers. The only issue I had was the primers seemed to seat a little too easily, as if they might just fall our of the case if it got bumped a little too hard. Other than that, it was all good. I just used those cases for barrel warmers, not for score.
