I bought 8 Aries BTR 4 1/2–27 MIL when they used the heavy grease for $380/ea NIB out the door. I called Athlons engineer who said the only difference between the Gen #1 & #2 was a small part was changed from brass to stainless & the grease. I love the Christmas tree retical. I wanted the 50mm...

We don't need to shoot it, this old horse has been beat to death many times over. You pick the best spot according to the conditions you have.

The new trend is ultralight rifles. I like heavy barrelled stought rifles, not pencil barrelled ones. It's easier, cheaper & better for the shooter to lose 5#.

Only if your a 9 year old girl.

We (or should I saw the ammo & gun makers) need about20 more 6.5s. I have 6.5 x55, 6.5 creedmoor, 6.5-300 weatherby. Small, medium & large.

I shoot golf balls on cord & 1.5" high steel eggs with 22lr subsonic at 300 yards for practice & the bullet goes 12' high.

6.5-300 Weatherby

6.5-300 Weatherby is the Best & Fastest, ammo has deopped to mid $40 foe real Weatherby 140s & I paid $459 OTD for an SI exclusivewith a fluted theaded barrel. I know it's made by Howa but have had great luck with Howa for years.

Prove to me my new Weatherby 6.5-300 won't go 1000+. Forget the rest & buy the BEST! Weatherby factory ammo just fropped to 1/2 price, mid $40 for the 140s.

No! IMHO This new featherlight fifle thing is a fad unless you're a kid, women, have a physical ailment like I do or are a girlie man.

I use starline brass, 405gr hard cast.I load 50 gr. of Varget into the shell and tapped the shell a bit to level and settle the powder. I then used my caliper to measure from the top of the shell to the top of the powder. Next I took this measurement to my lead bullet, I found from that the...

The 1st one you shoot you'll swear weighs 600# rill you find it. Harder to judge the weight of a bear as you can a deer.

Try the 454 Raging Bull at 2000 fps & over 2000 ft pds of energy. here's a 20 year old Gun Test written by pro gun testers. https://www.gun-tests.com/issues/12_2/features/-4467-1.html The good thing is it shoots mild 45LC, Hot 45LC close to 44 mags & 454 Casull. There's a debate on the most...

Nothinging funner that sticking one with an arrow just at dark & climbing out of the tree in the dark & hiking back to camp. When they know you're there they lay out of sight close & smap their teeth wanting you to leave. We normally ran gogs at dawn with a friend, rebaiting our stands at the...

I've killed a lot of bear in Western UP of Michigan & Savage 12BVSS nailed it. Short range, low light, most will make you work hard to retrieve them. I used a 45/70 Contender handgun for years then a 450 Marlin in a BFR & a Marlin guide gun using heavy hard cast to break 'em down. I seldom heard...
