    Softest recoiling 20 gauge

    I have an old 1100 20 ga on a standard frame it is the softest kicking shotgun I own. They only made them for a few years and are hard to find. Another option if you load is to load your 12 ga down to 7/8 or even 3/4 oz. You can generally keep your powder at the same charge. It really does...

    Don't yell at me!

    Ok guys here it is probably one of the dumbest questions ever asked. I recently picked up a new/used tc impact at cabelas for a song. A friend gave me a Lee bullet mold. I saw on u tube a guy who was making glue gun bullets for his 44, shooting them with just a primer. I have rabbits who are a...

    Barrel Advise 7mm STW Build

    My smith really likes the krieger barrels, talked me into it over a shiling. He said that a krieger barrel is cryogenically frozen. He said that between a blank and their smallest conture one will shoot just as well as the other? That said I have a #5 finished at 28" + 1 5/8 break. With the...

    a father's advice

    A father once said to his son, right before his wedding, "son take your young bride home tonight and look between her legs, you will see what looks like a peach with the seed removed. Treasure these years son. Your mother my wife of 35 years, looks like a cowpie with a tire track through it."

    looking to up grade my old stw.

    Thanks again, I think I will hold on the trigger for now, wait and see if it will work for me. My smith has re worked most of my triggers at a reasonable cost and in most cases I have been more than pleased. The stock was sold by the smith to the guy I bought my hs precision from, I have no idea...

    looking to up grade my old stw.

    I found my donor today. It is an sps stainless 338 win, it is rocky mountain elk foundation gun, it looks brand new but a scope base has been removed ($475). This will save me on sericoating, and the bottom plate ($200) (as compared to buying a walmart donor at $377). Any idea as to value of a...
