    Wyoming 8 points

    My friend, with 8 points you can hunt many of the great areas in WY, but if you are serious about making the most of that tag, and if you are looking for a buck over 80 inches, you really should consider an experienced guide. One that specializes in really big antelope by the way, If you are...

    .375 hh

    More than 20 years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a lightly used M70 Safari in .375 It has always been the favorite in a gun safe housing much more expensive custom rifles. Like many I grew up reading the tales from Jack O'Conner who was a big fan of the .375 and wrote glowingly about...

    Montana Unit 700

    I had to laugh when reading the post from VarmitGuy . In 1974 my wife and I had a first hand experience with the Eastern Montana mud while hunting antelope north of Jordan. It is everything he says it is. If it looks like rain, head for paved or gravel roads!! While serving in the Air Force...

    B&C Antelope from Wyoming

    It was a regular draw tag. I didn't think WY has landowner tags, but they may.

    B&C Antelope from Wyoming

    Photos Attached -- Thanks for Link ! Photos aren't great we were hustling to get a few shots taken with a nasty rain/sleet storm we could see headed down off the mountains. Like many Wyoming antelope, the buck gets his score from great mass that he carries all the way up. He has good length...

    B&C Antelope from Wyoming

    Guys I shot my first antelope 1973 while a guest of the USAF in Montana. Since then there have been a number of antelope hunts with generally good results and a few nice heads on the wall. But this year I promised I would hold out for a boomer or come home with unfilled tag. This time the...

    340 Weatherby Shooters

    Guys What are your experiences with the .340 Wthby ? I have a chance to pick up a custom on a blueprinted model 700 action, 25-inch Lilja barrel etc. Current owner is an honest guy who has made multiple Africa trips, and says the beast is just too much recoil for him. No brake -- he says that...

    Midway USA Customer Service +++

    Having spent a far amount of money with Cabelas and Midway over the years, I can cwertainly agree that the service is world class at both companies. But, in reality, customer service is the only thing that seperate successful companies like them from the many competitors. They all sell the same...

    Rebarrel to .257 Weatherby

    After more than 20 years of service, it looks like the barrel on my old Model 700 in 7mm rem will need a refresh. Since I have another 7mm rem mag and a 280 AI, I'm looking at something new and different. The .257 Weatherby Mag is interesting as a potential deer and antelope rifle. May also...
