My understanding is the VX-3i is being replaced by the new VX-3HD, what the difference is, I have no idea. We'll have to wait and see, my guess is better glass.
I have too admit, I am excited the .277 is getting some attention, but in saying that, last night I watched a video by Ron Spomer on YouTube all about the 6.8 Western and from the video it seems that the 6.8 Western duplicates trajectory of a 7mmRM with the same weight bullet, but with less...
The choices you have narrowed down to for yourself are all excellent choices, but I only have personal experience with the Browning X-bolt and that would be my choice again if I was looking to purchase another rifle.
As someone who has witnessed a light weight arrow shattering as it was released from a heavy poundage bow, I personally wouldn't try it. Carbon fiber arrows are very difficult to remove from ones forearm and multiple surgeries are required to remove all the fibers and clean the infections that...
The Impulse is interesting for sure, I hope it works out for them, but my only problem is how heavy it is, and which caliber would I choose if I were to buy one.
Living in NJ, I have 2 more Saturday's of muzzle loader, and until the end of January for Winter Bow season. Special season of fox/coyote until March 15th, then Spring turkey season starts up no long after that.
Although it hasn't happened to me, I did help a fellow new hunter recover a nice first time 5 point buck, and it happened to have a previous wound high on the backstrap, that was infected but appeared to be healing. Looked like an arrow,( the wound had a triangular shape to it), had passed...
I have a female acquaintance that is 4'10" and hunts everything with her Weatherby Camilla in 270Win, deer, hogs, coyotes and elk, but if your wife prefers a short action cartridge the 7mm-08 or 308 should be the top choices. Let her pick the rifle, it's gotta fit her and she'll know best which...
For me, whitetail, mule deer, elk, bear, rabbit, squirrels, moose, rainbow trout, mahi mahi are all the best tasting. Why? Well because those are the animals I've harvested or helped a friend harvest, all the time, money, blood and sweat that goes into harvesting them, make the meat from those...
Unfortunately, Nosler's very first proprietary cartridge, the 26 Nosler is losing steam and the second incarnation, the 28 Nosler has become the shining star, leaving the Nosler family of cartridges at home. It's a great round too, but the demand for the 28 is too much. Anyways, as others have...
I've taken a 9mm and a 357 in grizzly country, both with "bear loads", but I was hunting, so I always had my rifle with me. This last September is the only time I actually ran into a grizzly. Got within 50 feet of a 3 year old boar, ( guessing at the age). He showed no fear, but kept his...
