    Mystery Ranch Gift Card

    Shameless ploy - My son will need a pack if he gets drawn for the junior elk, deer or pronghorn hunts this years... ;)

    Most Dangerous Moment Afield

    My brother did his thesis on black bears, specifically "urban" bears that live in the foothills and come down into the suburbs at night. Trapping, collaring, tracking, etc. He's now a Sr biologist with US F&W in WA state. He says that black bears are more likely to be predatory towards...

    Leupold/Zeiss part 2

    I've had both, and Zeiss has, to my eye, much better glass.

    New Zeiss 3-9x40 Conquest

    That's about $100 less than most stores, but feel free to make me an offer. This is a very clear scope - all the way to the edges - with generous eye relief Zeiss Conquest Rifle Scopes offer etched reticles to withstand repeated recoil and rugged 1-piece main body tube construction. Zeiss'...

    New Zeiss 3-9x40 Conquest

    I have a new, never mounted Zeiss 3-9x40 Conquest scope with the Z-plez (duplex reticle) I have no real use for. Box, lense covers, paperswork including never-filed warranty card included. I'd like $300 for it. PM me if interested for address, etc.

    Bullet Selection for 300 WSM

    I haven't used the tipped TSX, but have had good luck with the 168 gr "regular" TSX from a .300 Win Mag.

    Looks good enough for me - a new .308

    Howas are a good gun, but I have had a couple that I never got to shoot to my satisfaction. I had a S&W 1500 Deluxe in .30-06 that was made by Howa and was the first sub-MOA rifle with factory ammo that I ever had. The action is very similar ( a copy?) of the Rem 700, although a little...

    Texas hog shooting

    It's a bit different hunting them here - no feeders. The most productive manner is to ambush them on their way back to bedding areas from the agricultural fields in the early morning on or adjacent to private land. Public land hunting is tough as the pigs are scarce, the country usually rough...

    Nosler Lead Free Ballistic Tips

    Ooops = the Noslers are 35 gr. The Barnes Varmint Grenades are 36 gr... I've used the Varmint Grenades on ground squirrels, but just loaded up some Nosler Lead-Free.

    Nosler Lead Free Ballistic Tips

    Has anyone tried the 36 gr .224 version? I loaded some up for my .22-250 in a load that should run about 3800 FPS. A friend of mine that owns a machine shop cut one of these bullets in half, and they look to be a jacket filled with little particles of copper. He says they vaporize ground...

    Advice needed on Tikka T3 Rifle

    Different rifle entirely. It will work, obviously. CRF versus push feed. Trigger will probably need work. It will shoot plenty good enough, but probably not quite as tight as the Tikka. It will weigh more. It is more "traditional" - fixed mag, no "plastic," etc. It is a matter of...

    Advice needed on Tikka T3 Rifle

    Plastic mags don't get bent and you;d have to really work hard to break one of the Tikka mags. You guys must not like the Ruger 10/22 mag either, right? The only downside I see to the mags is the price for a spare. I have 2 T-3 Lites, a .243 that shoots half-inchor under regularlhy and a .300...

    "new" rifle

    I went the other direction last week. Being bored, I switched my MRC/Serengeti Rifles .358 Win back into the wood stock. It's a 3-layer laminated which keeps the appearance of the great wood but adds teh stabilty of a laminated stock. Bedded by Serengeti when they did the stock. It has...

    1917 Enfield 30-06

    Good choice - it is much more valuable and collectible in original military form.
