    My Daughter Kills a Brute

    Congratulations to her and well done dad for raising her to provide for herself and not rely on plastic packaged, mass produced , chemical contaminated meat. You're absolutely right. You only have to look at the ridiculous, draconian measures applied to many European countries.

    What is everyone favorite caliber for deer?

    1st place - 25-06. First rifle I ever owned and I've had at least one 25-06 ever since. 2nd place - 7x64 brenneke. Excellent, mild shooting and adaptable.

    Yet another "What cartridge?" thread

    7x64 mm brenneke. Fantastic, historic calibre. Very similar to the 280 and mild recoil.

    Which three must have calibers.

    Being in the UK and shooting in Europe, I also have to consider the remaining countries who ban current or past military calibres. So: 25-06 My fav calibre. Suitable for smaller deer species. 7x64 Benneke. Larger deer (red, sika, fallow) and boar. 300WM. Because every collection needs an 'if...

    Questions for US land owners.

    Folks, I'd be grateful if you could answer a few questions with regard to owning land in the US. 1. If you own a parcel of land, say a small ranch or farm, can you restrict access ? E.g. does the public or any other person have automatic right of access? 2. Provided you abide by the general...

    Spotting scope - angled or straight?

    Have you considered a draw-scope? I live in Scotland and use a Swarovski CTC 30x75 draw scope. It draws down into a compact size, can be drawn and mounted like any other straight spotting scope and quickly mounted on sticks. Optics are as expected with Swarovski but approx half the price of a...

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

    Here in the UK rifles must be transported with the bolt separate. Forgetting the bolt is so **** common, it's long since stopped being funny. I once booked 3 days of red deer stalking which required a 3 hour drive and a ferry crossing. Up , dressed and fed on first morning. Checking everything...

    Detached suppressor ?

    Unfortunately not a new idea. Here in Scotland there are a few ranges with problematic, pain in the arse, anti gun neighbours. A common method of lessening the 'boom' (other than using moderators) is to get two blue, plastic barrels. Cut off the tops and bottoms, stick both together to make a...

    Rem, Savage, Sig,.........

    You guys crack me up. Your loyalty is commendable but buy a Remington or Savage, change the trigger, stock,, etc. Buy a Sako, Steyr or Sauer and dont need to change anything.

    The Mis-Conceptions

    You sir are a man i respect. You know your limitations and abide by them. Im disgusted by the idiots who recklessly wound deer beyond their capability. They have no respect for the animal nor the skill required. Only recently I had the unpleasant experience of dealing with an idiot who...

    Tell me about your Schmidt & Bender rifle scope

    Here in the UK we have to contend with very much more restrictive, draconian laws designed to limit the amount and type of firearms we own. Therefore applying for and owning an additional rifle can be very much an investment. Being restricted in quantity you can own can mean more disposable...

    sauer 202 outback

    Yes, A heavy but excellent rifle. I spent a day with one chambered 308 and shot out to 400yds. Brand new, out of the box and was regularly shooting cloverleafs. You'll love the quality of the fit, ergonomics of the stock, the match quality adjustable trigger and best of all the little...

    If you had to have only three?

    22-250. Inexpensive to reload. Great for training. 308. Infinite combinations to experiment with. Long barrel life. 7mm Rem Mag. Because that's my Sako TRGS and I'm never giving it up!
