    What pistol do you carry on hunts

    So does the spray. I learned just how well it works 1st hand 26 years ago when we had to be sprayed before it was issued to us. ;)

    What pistol do you carry on hunts

    None. Don't need the added weight and in bear country, it's been proven time and again that bear spray is more effective. As an added bonus, bear spray works on human attackers too. ;)

    HOWA questions here

    It's not "play," it's designed to help you feel where you are on the trigger. Two-stage triggers are quite common, and have been around for a long time. The newer safety triggers with the center blade (Savage, Mossberg, Ruger all use them now) have the same basic principle. The first portion...

    Ugh. 2nd time I'm going to have to pass on one of these... If only this was listed a week ago. Love the .280! Good luck!

    HOWA questions here

    The Howa trigger or HACT trigger, is a two-stage trigger. It is designed to have about 1/2" of takeup at 0.5-1 lb., if that's what you're referring to.

    Cleaning brass without a tumbler?

    I have cleaned a lot of brass with nothing more than a cotton T-shirt. The One Shot spray lube I use seems to act as a bit of a solvent, and I can clean each piece pretty well with the cotton T-shirt after sizing. I only tumble every 5th or 6th loading. Sometimes there is a slight ring at the...

    RIP RBG - no political responses please

    Your choice. I saw it for what it was - that it's too close (like Mitch said in '16) to the election. Apologies to the OP, who wished only to point out America's loss.

    RIP RBG - no political responses please

    This is only a political statement if you choose to view it that way. I see her comment as - SC appointments should not be made so close to elections to AVOID politics as much as possible. It's the exact argument Mitch made in '16 when Marrick Garland was nominated - too close to the election...

    7MM-HT Advice

    My Alpine 7mm-08 had a pretty tight chamber. It wasn't uncommon for me to feel a heavy bolt lift 1 grain before max published loads. Since I was only using it for whitetails back east, I was never that worried about maxing out the loads, so it didn't bother me. But I think your issue is...

    Who will win the Superbowl in 2020

    I just thought that snowflakes were those who were so intolerant they couldn't even bear to see something they didn't agree with. If your comments don't fit that description, then you don't have to worry.

    Who will win the Superbowl in 2020

    Have we become such snowflakes that we can't even bear to watch someone express their 1st Amendment rights? Good Lord. I see all these folks saying "we're not against peaceful protests, we're against looting and rioting..." and then turn around and complain about peaceful protests. Yea...

    Remington sells off its Ammo division

    I can tell you I've never seen a post-64 Win model 94 that can hang with my 1959 version in either accuracy, smoothness, bluing or trigger. I bought 4 post-64 Win 94's including two of the Japanese $1K rifles, and sold them all. None could hang with my '59. That said, I do believe a lot of...

    WTS - Leupold VX-3i 3.5-10x40 CDS

    Bought this off a member here a few weeks ago just to see if I would like dialing. I don't. Guess I'm a holdover guy at heart. So it's up for sale again. I'm using the pics from the seller (hope that's okay...they are good pics!). I mounted this for about 2 weeks and shot approx. 20 rounds...
