    25-45 Sharps - Looking for Info from shooters

    Essentially aimed at duplicating the 250 Savage in an AR platform. Kimber made a bolt rifle in the 70s-80s based off the 222 Rem Mag. Think 25-47, or 25-204 Ruger. I was thinking of building an AR in 25-45 Sharps for coyote hunting. Then I came to my senses and ordered a barrel for a bolt...

    End of the petro dollar.

    Has any of the "mainstream media" yet reported about Saudi Arabia putting an end to the US dollar as the only money of use to buy oil? I've only seen 3 places ( that most people probably don't go to) that have done reports on it. Dana Loesch ( I think that's the spelling) had a good...

    savage 110 question

    If getting a Boyds, pay attention to the model action your ordering. They will specify what screw spacing it is. Order the right one, and your good to go without paying extra.

    Melvin Forbes

    I used to own one of his (?) NULA 24B in 280 Rem. Thing was super light, and super accurate!! I hated, (still hate) selling it. But I bought it specifically for a western hunt, that has not come to fruition yet. Sold it for almost double what I paid for it. Sightron SII and nylon sling...

    Gaps in coverage

    For younglings, and versatility there are a couple i'd recommend . First would be the 257 Roberts. 600 yard target, 400 yard deer, coyote, groundhog. Not sure how far i'd poke at an elk with it, 100-200 yards Yeah, I'd go for it! Light recoil. All the ones I've seen have been plenty...

    Dammit Trigger

    Too light a trigger on a Ruger 77??? I think I saw Bigfoot once too... It took the Wolfe spring set and honing on all 3 of my Ruger 77s to get them to where I like. The 25-06 with the 24" light varmint barrel i could actually pick up by the trigger without it dry firing. How heavy are your...

    Savage 110 Trail Hunter

    It's a Savage 110. Beyond that the name only describes some of the add ons to it. Go forth and shoot small groups! I gotta ask... You buy it, THEN ask for feedback on it? Kinda cart, horse, isn't it?

    Guidance on choosing a new barrel or new rifle

    I've gotten 4 different E.R. Shaw barrels over the years. For a hunting rifle, they do just fine. One note I will make about Shaw barrels. Their bluing is a thing of beauty!!!
