    Shooting in the Rain

    After 20 years in Montana the webbing between my toes has finally receded after living over 25 years in Oregon, where it only rains 387 days a year and is cloudy the other 340 days.;)

    Shooting in the Rain

    As noted in several postings already, I too have used electrical tape for many years, but not because of stretching or lack thereof, but rather the fact that electrical tape can be stuck on when it is wet out already. It will stick to itself well, so I put a strip over the muzzle and then a...

    My first Real Weatherby

    Congrats on your purchase! I use my .257 Wthby for antelope here in Montana but have dropped a number of large muley bucks during late antelope season (deer season overlaps a bit here) and the opportunity arose. Last year I hadn't filled my antelope buck (either sex tag) or doe tags yet when a...

    Dirt particles inside scope

    Good service and warranty are ALWAYS appreciated and creates strong loyalty in the customer base for sure. I have a rather inexpensive brand of scope on a .22-250 that I drag across the cactus and sage crawling up on prairie dogs. After six years a lens seal sprung a leak. I received a new scope...

    Ruger FTW .300WM Bullet selection help

    I have the same issue with most of my rifles as well. One option is to single feed so you have the 0.010" jump you want or try a few rounds with the 0.055" and see how it does. I hunted with some Barnes bullets awhile back and they recommend 0.050" jump for their bullets for whatever reason and...

    New rifle choice...

    Trigger pull, trigger pull, trigger pull. Which one has a better trigger out of the box? Need decent for hunting confidence. Or, if you like one over the other and the trigger is as poor as the Howa's of 15 years ago then plan an extra $125 for an after market trigger.

    338 Win Mag Cow Elk Bullet?

    I know what you mean Rev. There is one camp of light fast bullet guys and another camp of slow heavy bullet guys. Obviously there isn't a clear demarcation but I tend to be more of the slow heavy bullet guy. I have what some consider "elk rifles" in .270, .280, 7mm mag, 30-06, 30-06AI, .300wm...

    I'm beside my self, if I only I could kick my self in the BUTT

    It happens to the young ones as well. My son was 14 when we got back to the truck after dark from deer hunting, put all our gear in the truck and drove home about 2 1/2 hours away. Months later, I asked for his rifle to clean it up for storage......realization that he had left it against the...
