I have to admit that I always chuckle a little when the subject of how much gun for black bear comes up. You w0uld actually think that everyone is talking about the same animal when in the real world you may as well say that you are not. This gentleman is not hunting where most blacks are 250lb...

dumb question---where is the safety?

???

X47guy, I had just the day before retrieved the malfunctioning rifle from from a local well known gunsmith who installed the new Timney trigger and mounted a new scope I purchased from him. You just assumed that I had been responsible without asking the circumstances? I also had fired 10 rounds...

Such a sad and completely helpless feeling to hear about this type of thing! I am sure we all would like to help but how? Knowing that he is someone who is experienced and prepared is helpful and creates hope that he could still be found OK. Could we be enlightened as to how much help is being...
