People kill deer with 22 long rifles and 22 Magnums. I have lost a few deer shot with Army issue 5.56 ammo in my youth. We had a 12 or more point white tail hanging around our farms a few years ago. Someone shot it with a 220 Swift; it was never found. I don't think the 22s are adequate for most...

Out there past 100 yards it is critical to have reticle plumb & level for you to adjust for the range changes. I put the rifle in some type of vise and use a level to be sure the rifle its self is level; leave one ring lose one sort of not snug so the scope will turn; put a small level on the...

Where there are Grizzly Bears in the area I would say .338 Winchester; where little chance of encounter with Griz the .270 Winchester would be my choice. To actually hunt the Brown Bear a .375 H&H Magnum in a real Mauser action with iron sights (peep OK). That was what I used for over 30 years...

Get an anchor bolt that has a similar size anchor as the inside of the shell; You may have to replace the bolt with a longer one; insert the anchor as far as it will go into the fired case; tighten the bolt to grip the shell; don't over tighten; insert a sturdy cleaning rod or dowel rod down the...

Why neutral? Call a shovel a shovel, eh? It is impossible to get valid feed back on firearms on the market today. I cannot trust any of the reviews I read or see on Utube. It would be nice if I could find objective truthful reviews on a firearm I was thinking of purchasing. I'm also interested...

If all a person wanted was positive propaganda about some firearm all they gotta do is watch it on Utube. I want to know about specific problems on specific firearms. If some one is having a problem with a manufacture I want to know that too, eh?

I do long range shooting but I also shoot lots of stuff that ain't of interest to LRS. Here is my return history; in the past 20 years I have returned two firearms to Ruger; one was a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6mm Creedmoore the problems barrels not true alignment with receivers; how in the heck...

That is a real, real dumb rule; I would be interested to know if someone had a problem with weapon they had purchased.

Take way more food than you think you'll need. I would take; pea nut butter, ritz crackers, beef jerky, nuts, snickers bar, Cliff Bars, instant oat packets, apples, raw carrots, cheese, (I use the Kraft cheese stuff that comes in those little jars), raisins & prunes & dates, I always took hot...

I go to gun shows for the social interaction; I almost always learn something new about guns. I will buy some of the high priced guns if it is something I want. For example Kel-tecs a real dealer can't seem to get them but they show up over priced at a gun show. When Qbuma was in the White House...

Here is a news flash; guns do not deprecate in value, eh? Any desirable gun in good condition cost more today than it did when it was new.

Prepping and long range hunting have little in common. For a one gun prepper that wants to hunt deer & hogs & black bear & slow elk the choice is 7.62x39 because of cost, weight, and cost effectiveness. For most preppers the 5.56 is the ONE. If you live where the Antelope roam a 25-06 could come...

Bi-pods are not easy to use; you must practice with them. I do have them on my bench rest Ruger PR with a mono pod on the stock. Great for shooting from the bench, prone, or over the hood ( may damage paint) of pick up where legal. For bench rest shooting sand bags are way better. I took the...
