check out Florida WMA online. lots of places. just get the WMA pass, its cheap, and borrow a rifle. I think most Florida WMA is in hog / small game season so you'll need a rimfire or shotgun. my buddy and I are headed to buck lake next weekend and hit Toschacthee last weekend. I think Buck Lake...

nice gordo. I used to duck hunt on the saint Lawrence river. I imagine its all snow up where you are now. we are heading north for skiing in February, but I'd love to sneak in a little rabbit hunting time. hows the property in your area; is there ample hunting grounds? I took the bmag out...

hammer, company cfo and ceo are interested in growth- 8%. else invest elsewhere. where's the ammo growth? 22lr and 223, maybe 9mm in America. 17wsm is a pet project with maybe less than 1/4 of 1 percent if that. if you were a ceo would you even mention the 17 wsm in a board meeting?

hi gordo. where do you shoot? whats new Germany NS?

went hunting yesterday and noticed while walking the barrel (safety actually) bouncing up and down. ****. the stock is flexing from front and rear. went to the range today to see if its still zeroed. my 223 with a Nikon scope nailed it on the first shot. the bmag ... is hog huntable for now...

now the good news is that hornady is making wsm ammo, hornady / cci of course, and what better opportunity to capitalize on a market of 99% savage bmags. they have the answer. when a shell ignites you have to consider the ignition rate. Winchesters wsm ignition predated savages bmag barrel...

have you ever noticed how the bmag sings when fired. tingggggg, that's the frequency. its like a tuning fork. none of my other rifles do that so pronounced. what could be a solution? change the tune with a dampener. clamp a weight, for experiment, to the barrel. eliminate that tinggggg. I...

now AussieCritter gave us all the necessary clues when shortening his barrel versus those using a wood boyds stock. a wood boyds stock will have the same vibrational standing wave, just dampened. the stock length never changed. shortening the barrel extended the standing wave, lets see if I...

whenever you put pressure on the front end of the stock it flexes during firing. it flexes in the same direction. I move way forward on sandbags for range shooting and only hold close to the trigger while hunting. I just viewed all the shot pictures in this thread and those with fliers show a...

my bmag kicks butt. I shot a hog with it the other day. blew half its face off with a head shot. accurate and I know how to eliminate the flyers. I actually hunt exclusively with the bmag over my 223 and mini 14. im stoked. yet, its unfortunate others are not having similar success.

ive actually been using my 17 bmag exclusively for hog hunting on wma even now during general gun season. ill save the 223 for deer, but I hardly see any deer. I do a lot of walking / biking on each hunt - about 8 miles total. the rimfire is much lighter to carry. the picture was from just...

I removed the scope and put on a red dot for close quarter hog shots. wen to the range and the red dot held zero fine. going out again tomorrow for hogs maybe a rabbit, but rabbits don't seem to thrive in the swamps. I couldn't bear to take a picture of the hogs face I shot. its snout was shot...

shot a hog yesterday with the bmag at about 25 yards, headshot. it just dropped. I like the bmag because its light and can carry it on the 8 mile hunt.

went back to the range today and kept getting flyers, so I moved the gun as forward on the sand bag as possible. in the picture (upper right) the flyers went away. then I shot the remaining ammo (image center) also with no flyers. at 100 yards. next time I'll shoot both the bmag and the 17...

yeah. the little one got away. I adjusted the scope, a leupers 4x, one click right and down or so I thought and I got another group just over an inch at 200 yards but way right and down as in the picture. I like just a red dot to keep the weight down while hunting - lots of walking for me 5...
