    Big Fishing Shirt, and the Fleecing of Our Once Great Country

    If it is all made over yonder, might as well get something at Walmart, then when you realize it is a p.o.s. you won't be pissed cause you will say it was just a Walmart p.o.s.

    Poll: Rifle Caliber for Western Hunting

    I cast my vote for 6.5 PRC but then I just won an RMEF Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 PRC so went biased. You can't really lose with either cartridge.

    Never seen this before.

    I just took a peak at my Hornady manual, shows 150 GMX max for H4831 SC to be only 62.8 grains. It doesn't list H4831 in the 11th edition of that manual but I would guess it would be about the same maximum.

    $800 to $1000 vortex, leupold or some other brand scope?

    @hjritter Comparing the Crossfire to the VX-3HD is a Chevy to Lexus comparison. The Vortex Viper line is a better price comparison. VX-3 Freedom line is a closer comparison but I would compare those to the Diamondback scopes myself. The Crossfire, I would compare more to the new Sig Sauer...

    Would you shoot Alf?

    My ex-wife, wife at the time of this little story, babysat a couple of kids over the summer for extra grocery money. One of the kids was a boy maybe 7 or 8. This kid comes up to me one day and sings to the tune of the Barney song, "I hate you You hate me Let's get together and kill Barney...

    Are raffles real?

    So I just got a call and apparently my luck may have changed. I won a Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5PRC from the Nevada chapter of the RMEF. Pretty stoked. They are shipping it to my local Sportsman's Warehouse. Now to start looking for the elusive 6.5PRC ammo.

    First rifle

    I have an American Ruger in 308. That loves the Federal PowerShok 150 grainers and the Federal Blue Box 150 copper loads. In regard to sighting distance 100 or 200 is good, it depends on the scope a little bit, various BDC reticles assume 100 or 200 yard sight in. Being you are new to rifle...

    Lot # Factory Ammo Accuracy?

    I have never had much if any variation, but I had heard Barnes ammo before Remington's bankruptcy could vary widely between lots. Unsure if that is the case now.

    OUTDOORCLASS - Two years of work

    Not going to lie, if I invest in this the real selling line on the website was under the elk calling bit, "...Amaze your hunting buddies and annoy your family with your newfound calling skills..." Love it!

    Gun Buy Back

    I remember why I moved out of California now. Not that NV is any better, pretty much becoming East California with our dictator for a governor

    Nevada Draw Results 2022

    With that kind of luck, you may want to hit the casino. My better half and I both scored antlerless deer tags but your haul is pretty epic. Congrats!

    Help choosing Caliber

    I believe the intent is to swap not modify the rifle that was won.

    Help choosing Caliber

    Personally, I would keep the 6.5 PRC, but I can't argue your liking of the 308 and love my 308 too. Keeping it simple with all family members has the benefit of simplifying ammo purchases and unless you reload and sometimes in this day and age if you do 6.5 PRC is not easy to get while 308, at...

    Hornadys new cx bullets

    I bought some 30-06 Superformance CX 165s to try. May end up with just some reloading brass for hammers but will see how it groups.

    A "common sense" proposal that will piss off both sides

    Read the OP but do not have the time to read all 39 pages of responses. I do like a lot of the proposals. The control of marijuana caught my interest. My father way back in the early 1980s was saying, "Legalize marijuana and tax it to death." This from a man that abhorred its actual use...

    Flying with firearm (any airlines to avoid)?

    I would agree with the comment about avoiding the budget airlines (Spirit/Allegiant/Jet Blue). I have as others noted had good success with Southwest.

    7mm-08.... Avoid the shoulder?

    I concur with what has been said, a well constructed smaller caliber bullet that can be accurately shot will be more lethal than a larger caliber bullet that can not be shot by the same individual accurately.

    Trudeau Puts Freeze On Handguns

    Great discussion and yes as @Big Fin noted a civil one. My understanding is Canada does not have a 2nd Amendment equivalent so it is a bit different than here in the US. To compare what Trudeau did to what the US is looking to do you need to look at what has happened in Canada. Two years ago...
