I have taught several over the years. I met a young woman at the range quite a few years ago who really wanted to learn. She came to my shop and saw that I also had a lathe and mill and wanted to learn how to build her own rifle . She now has her own lathe , loads her own ammo ,shoots ELR with...

I got started with long range handguns when I met Larry Kelly and JD Jones ln NW Montana. I have 6.5 JDJ and .375 JDJ and .357 Harret Love to hunt antelope with the 6.5. Longest kill was over 400 yards. Look forward to talking handguns.

Don’t worry about shooting antelope in Nm. Unless you are buying private land tags. I was born in NM 77 years ago and have not got an Antelope tag in 30 years or more. Don’t waste your time working up a load just find a good load for your.300. Load 20 rounds and if you only shoot game you will...

I live in N.M and have taken quite a few elk with ML. I also build and sell modern ML that are used on a regular basis to take elk at ranges exceeding 400 yards. I am old with failing eyesight so I should be first to oppose the new regulations. I feel the real problem in NM is the land owner...

Had a friend take a big bull with a.348 Winchester .One shot dead bull

Absolutely! I only found it when I made a relief cut and the tool started to loosen the brake . Didn’t break the tool because I had made one cut and had space for the break to move. I have no idea why Remington would do this unless it was so the twist would tighten the brake.

Thanks. This is the first time I have seen one. Real problem if you want to change brakes or install other muzzle devices . Now I know to watch for this

Had a customer bring me a Remington 700 .300 mag that he had attempted to remove the brake.he managed to get the barrel loose but could not get the brake loose.I had never seen a 700 with left hand threads before this ;but that is what this one had. It was a factory radial brake . He was wanting...

I like to play with something different. I also have too many rifles. I just finished a.338 Federal with an AG composite carbon fiber stock and HS Precision mag system Defiant action , Bartlien barrel Jewell trigger . I decided to chamber a Proof carbon in .284 Winchester and put them in a case...

Dove season I rode my scooter to school setting on my shotgun wearing my bird vest. I would put the vest on the handle bars and lean the shotgun against the bike when I went to class. One day the principal called me to the office to tell me there were some kids who did not know anything about...

I have taken deer, elk and oryx with a Nosler ballistic tip. Before they were available I shot Remington corelock and Winchester power point factory ammo. Longest shots have been 400 to 500 yards. If you can’t kill with a.270 you can’t buy a big enough rifle to kill whitetail deer

I use Shooter on my I Phone .You can buy it for $10 and install it in a few minutes . It is a quick and easy process once you have your information loaded into the program.

Sold my business to relocate where I could take care of my mother.She is gone now and I am too old to fight the cold and snow any more. I can still remember the old guys starting their snow blowers at 2:00 AM to stay ahead of the snow . When I was young I had the pleasure of living in N.W...

When I lived in Wyo. I hunted a lot with Contenders,Still have 2 6.5 JDJ ,a 375 JDJ and a 357 Harret . Really loved to stalk antelope and shoot them with those 6.5 s . I have made some very long shots with those pistols. It is a lot easier to crawl with them and makes stalking lots of fun...
