    SOLD/EXPIRED Remington r-15

    I'm not saying that they're the best at on the market but I can say for sure that they do shoot very well. Was getting 1.5" at 300 yards with bulk pmc bronze FMJ ammo with mine. Shot 40 gr nos bt's into less than quarter inch at 100 yards. I thought that was pretty good for a factory rig with no...

    Belted Magnum Collet Resizing Die

    What kind of brass life are y'all getting? On average I mean. I know that running it super hard decreases life span but in general. I've got several that are on their 8 loading and haven't shown any signs of issues. I thought about getting it only because I've had some that showed the bulge...

    Which Turkey Vest?

    I've been using a promos vest for 10-11 years now. It's been a great vest. Plenty of pockets and storage for decoys. Having said that, I've switched to the Cherokee Creek inflatable decoys as of late. They just make things easier. Unless you need to set one up in a hurry and it's deflated. To be...

    New Wincester XR turkey loads

    If you're referring to the new long beards, I'd recommend contacting sumtoy chokes. Little pricier than your typical choke tube sitting on a dealers shelf but worth the money. Bought one last year and it'll never leave the gun. Thing to remember though is that the energy of your lead shot will...

    Probably hashed a million times...

    I know y'all are probably tired of hearing the same boring stuff but here goes: I'm in the process of making a choice of what to build. I'm on the fence as to what route to take. I'm stuck between the 308 and the 243. My long range experience is limited but I'm not new to firearms at all. I've...

    crazy question

    That's what I thought. Thanks.

    crazy question

    Just sent my 7mm stw of to get a Hart barrel installed and had a smoking deal pop up on a vortex viper 6.5-20 pop up. I'm getting the scope regardless because if it's not going to fit the needs for this rifle I'll slam it on something else since the deal was so sweet. My question: if I'm dialing...

    If it hasn't sold yet I'd be interested in it for sure.

    new gun/build

    The 280 is popping about 5/8" then throws a flyer. Someone else loaded them before I started looking them. I have the data and will try it myself when I get the time to see what the problem might be. Ended up getting a 300 wm that's is shooting about 7/8" at 100 yards with a 180 grain smk and 68...

    should I go 260 or 6.5-06 questions

    I hear a lot of guy's talk about the .257 Roberts like it's a great gun but I think I'd have to go for the .25-06 if it were me. I love mine and will not part with it for any reason. In fact, if it were to come right down to it, and they told me I could keep only one gun, that'd be it. That gun...

    How Do You Hunt Squirrels?

    I squirrel hunt quite a bit and much prefer to be out very early in the morning or about 2 hours before dark. As for calls and other stuff, it's not needed. The dog does the hard part by finding them. All I have to do is figure out what limb they are on and take them down. When the leaves are on...

    should I go 260 or 6.5-06 questions

    I'd also look at component availability. I believe that 260 brad is going to be easier to come by if I were a being man anyway. It's certainly easier to find loaded ammo to practice with and acquire brass. Even that's a chore though in this area. Not sure the shortened barrel life is worth the...

    New deer rifle

    I think that one I get this .300 win mag finished I might check into just getting my 7mm rem mag glass bedded as I think it will most likely shot well enough to cover most anything long range that I'll encounter in this state. Actually, the 280 I'd enough but I think I was looking more for a...

    WTB Winchester SX3 Flanigan

    Good luck finding one man. People tend to hold on to the sx series shotguns. I've been looking for one in 20 ga myself to go with my 12 ga sx2.
