    What is the most hated deer rifle you owned ?

    My dad had a British .303. It kicked like a mule with that metal buttplate and you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 25 yards. Barrel was probably shot out because it was a wartime model he purchased used at an Army Surplus Store back in the 50's. Kept it in the family though. My...

    What’s your spookiest hunting experience?

    Spookiest hunting event I ever experienced… I was alone hunting whitetail deer in north central Maryland. It was early BP season. It was the rare occasion that I had to use my headlamp as I walked to the location of my tree stand because of how dark it was. It was one of those pitch black, dead...

    Suppressor?

    I’m considering adding a suppressor to my custom .308….. any suggestions from those of you who have a .308 with a suppressor?

    Suppressor?

    While on the topic of supressors, is it ok to frequently remove and install a suppressor, for example when transporting a rifle to and from a range in a case or for airline travel, etc?

    Blast from the past

    We had a rifle range in our high school. It was used for rifle club meetings after school and by the neighboring Penn State extension campus for their rifle team to practice. I brought my .22 on my school bus and had the bullets in my pocket (even had a pocket knife in my pocket as well...

    What’s your favorite cartridge?

    30-06 Below - My 30-06 with my hand loads from a bench @200yds...I really do like her... I've taken elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, and a few not so lucky groundhogs, from inside 50 yds to outside 300. Most have been DRT. She's very reliable, consistent and accurate!

    One Gun?

    I own a 30-06 (over the counter Browning) and have taken ground hogs to elk with it. Elk and Mule Deer out to 400+ yards and most were DRT. I started with factory ammo and then began reloading. With the reloads, it now shoots inside the diameter of a dime at 200 yards from a bench. Shot...
