Well after having my son, Tater, pattern the old 20 guage sportsman 48 that I was going to have him use for the St. Jude's hunting for a cure youth turkey hunt, I decided he needed some thing that would put more than 1 pellet in the kill zone at 30 yards. So I went and talked to the management...

I would like to add a question to this post. How is the hunting around Stanley and Challis? I may have the opportunity to go there this year, and don't know whether to go for Elk or Mule deer. I am on a limited budget and don't know if I can afford both tags. What is your opinion? Thanks

That helps alot! Thanks! JD

I just spoke with Ruger customer service, and they said the technique to use, is to tilt the gun slightly when you eject the bullet.:rolleyes: Since I love the gun, I guess I can live with this, but it would sure be nice to just drop the block and leter rip! JDMAG

Mine won't go to safety position unless it's cocked. which after you've shot, it aint. If I'm just ejecting an unused round, it throws it completely clear of the gun.

I just picked up a new #1 in 7mm Mag. Waitin on a scope, and I'll do some sighting in this week. If you eject an empty(or snap cap) does it hit the safety lever on yours? it does on mine, and bounces back toward the breech. I was told I could adjust the ejector spring and alleviate this problem...

Thanks! Right now it's just for me and my son, And he probably wont be with me as mush as I like. But you think(for the price) it would be OK for 2 or less? only being used once or twice a year, on elk hunt, and only lightly in Tennessee for normal camping in spring and summer? JD

This is the one I am looking at. If any one has any in put please feel free to chime in. This is however only for me and my son but I think it says it will sleep 4 and is a 4 season tent. 10X10 Canvas Outfitters, Hunters, Guide Tent , 4 Season - eBay (item 150315392677 end time Feb-08-09...

Thats still an awesome read and pics no matter how many times I read it! Guy, I am envious! I hope to some day bag one that nice. But as long as I haven't I get to keep on tryin! JDMAG PS: I should be getting my new Ruger #1 7Mag by the end of next month. A buddy of mine is trying to talk me out...

+1 to every thing Guy said. Even so, There is NOTHING you can do to get your lungs ready for breathing at that altitude short of moving out there 6 months in advance of your hunt, or a plastic bag over your head while working out on an elliptical. However plenty of leg work (both walking and...

My dad taught me the same way. I haven't been lost yet either, and I have hunted in alot of different states, with alot of varied terrain.

I am down to 1 dog now and don't have a use for a 2 dog system . I am willing to let this set of collars go for $400.00. It has only been used about 4 times as I was injured shortly after acquiring a second bird dog, and since I was unable to spend the time required to train a new pup, I let a...

Howdy! I'm new here, and just want to learn a little about long range shooting for hunting, for myself, and to teach my kids. I'm not a bench rest shooter, but I do reload. I will be asking about the 7MAG and 300 win MAG. Just huntin guns and Joe the plumber scopes. Thanks, JDMAG
