    Tips in calling feral hogs

    Okay, I watched too many YouTube videos and now want to do my best to call in some feral hogs. I've been killing them for years, mostly around water but would like to experience the excitement of calling them in for a shot or two. I picked up a FoxPro caller for just over $100 and added...

    Action Leveling

    The folks at Wheeler offer their own solution for ensuring the action, barrel, and scope are all centered on the same vertical axis, assuming the bolt rails, bore, and base screws are all centered from the factory. My OP was only to draw attention to other ways that I and others may have found...

    Action Leveling

    I suspect we can all agree the axis and tilt of the barrel is what is most important when taking shots, the barrel always having some upward tilt in order for the bullet to reach a distant target. The issue that comes into play is that when all three components are not in the same vertical axis...

    Action Leveling

    It appears this tool only ensure the axis of the barrel and scope are in vertical alignment. As I understand the basic geometry, the action must be level when this alignment is made so that all three (action, barrel, and scope) are all on the same vertical axis. With the action canted any number...

    Action Leveling

    No doubt the topic of scope leveling has come up many times, often including mention of the gadgets that are available to make it easier. But IMHO, the greater challenge is finding the best way and tool to level the action when mounting a new optic. After all, if the action isn't level, what...

    "Not Your Grandpa's Savage"

    I picked up one of their 125th Anniversary Model 110 rifles several years ago and very glad I did. Less than 1895 of them were produced, even though the plan was to offer that many in honor of the year the company began making and selling firearms. Not only is it something I know the company...

    "Not Your Grandpa's Savage"

    I should add that IMO, whoever came up with this tagline for Savage, doesn't fully understand their customer base. I've never found anyone who hunts who has no desire to own any of their grandfather's firearms. While I recognize their desire to sell new firearms, you're not advancing the brand...

    "Not Your Grandpa's Savage"

    That's the tagline that Savage is using in a new YouTube video. Personally, I would love to own every firearm my grandfather once called his own. Unfortunately, I have just one of them.

    Don't let an accident become a tragedy

    The peace of mind that I get from knowing there's nothing in the chamber is far more valuable to me than killing any game animal. And this is especially true when I know that I don't need the meat or something more to hang on a wall. Besides, I can quickly chamber a round from the magazine if it...

    Input on damaged rifling

    I had a very positive experience with Ruger as well after they contacted me concerning a recall with my Mark IV pistol. The recall involved the safety lever and how it showed the firearm being in the fire and safe position. (Never did fully understand the problem with the lever since it always...

    Input on damaged rifling

    My scope has been invaluable in showing me differences in the quality of the rifling and overall quality of the factory barrels that I own. While they all (Remington, Marlin, Browning, Winchester, Howa, and Savage) shoot great, the scope makes it easy to see differences in quality. And just as a...

    Spencer's double rifle from the 1923 TV Series

    You mentioned earlier he also made the sheath for Spencer's knife. Those who have followed all three of the series (1883, 1923, and Yellowstone) remember the knife was first given to Spencer's sister, Elsa, as a gift after winning a horse race. It would be the same knife that Beth would later...

    Spencer's double rifle from the 1923 TV Series

    I've noticed that too when Sklenar holds the double, even though he seems to be getting better at looking more natural when shooting bad guys. It's his aim that makes it appear he's not familiar with firearms IMO. He doesn't appear to be holding the rifle high enough to be looking closely down...

    TPWD bill

    For those interested, the scene where Spencer reveals the caliber of his rifle begins at the 11:10 mark of Episode 5.

    Spencer's double rifle from the 1923 TV Series

    Okay, I had to look it up... The.416 Rigby is a cartridge that produces a relatively stout recoil. It produces 58 ft-lbs of recoil energy with a 10-pound rifle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's roughly three times the recoil of a .270 Winchester.

    Spencer's double rifle from the 1923 TV Series

    Did any of my fellow 1923 watchers happen to catch Spencer disclosing the caliber of his double rifle in last night's episode? No doubt the rifle and caliber are correct for the period. .416 Rigby The .416 Rigby / 10.57x73mm is a rifle cartridge designed in 1911 by London based gunmaker John...

    TPWD bill

    Keep in mind a few months ago a truck and trailer carrying multiple trophy bucks was pulled over by Texas DPS officers and later checked by local game wardens. It was found the deer were being illegally transported to deer breeding facilities in South Texas, which led to violations at additional...

    Astronauts have returned

    It's been nothing short of comical to see those who hate Trump making the claim the astronauts were not stranded but that another spacecraft was available to bring them back to Earth. That equates to saying a ship has a single lifeboat and there's a good chance it will take on water. These are...
