Retired Human Behavioral Specialist…

I recently acquired an old Weaver K3 for mine…

It wasn’t a gun, but I had a usps package start in Denver, go to Florida before it made its way to me in Spokane…

The great part of this is that CVA will replace the gun. They will want the damaged one back. Don’t ask how I know this…

My very first firearm purchase (1977) was an 870 12 gauge. Couldn’t hit anything with it. Finally shot it on paper and it was shooting 3 feet to the left at 30ish yards due to the barrel and receiver not mating up properly. Took it back to the hardware store and they replaced it. The...

I used the 131 HH 7mm (3400 fps) for the first time this year, also at Fort Peck. 275 yards quartering away up hill. Dropped him right there, but didn’t recover the bullet. One of the reasons I loaded up a hammer bullet was to have a lead free option. I figure one day lead free will be the rule…

Just finished my Fort Peck hunt. Got a 2 point after blowing the stalk on a big one. Deer numbers were obviously way down and the elk hunters struggled from what I heard. Although I did meet a guy who got his bull and it was a dandy. I won’t bother applying for 4-5 years…

That’s what I’m using in my Wby Mk 5, agree with everything you say..

The 300 H&H gods have obviously intervened after your sacrilegious modification. The only known remedy is to kill a grizzly bear with only a knife and eat its heart…😎

Sweet mannlicher, M70? Mine is a REM 721, mom’s gun back in the day. It splits time between my safe and my brother’s

257 Roberts Someone send me my participation trophy 😎

I was thinking military with red tip and odd grain weight

I was gifted about 200 of these bullets. .308 They weigh around 133 grains. Hollow base (sort of) Red tip I haven’t found anything similar online so now trusting to the LRH experts… Thanks in advance

Congrats! I owned one for a while. I did have to remove the sling from the stock and clean all the old grease off of it to get it to retract

I think mine is a 1951, live it. The stock was already altered, bedding etc. so I had it checkered for a better grip as it’s a hunter. Found that it likes 220 gr rn bullets pushed at 300 WM velocities. The three deer I’ve killed went down like they had been hit with Thor’s hammer. And it...
