    Nostalgic find

    I was poking around a gun shop the other day and came across this old JC Higgins Model 103. My father had one and that is what I learned to shoot with a little over 50 years ago. Nothing special about it but I thought I ought to have it. I’m guessing it was made in the early 50’s.

    Newfoundland Moose - 2023

    Even though my moose hunt was guided I thought I do a brief write up in case anyone is interested in doing the same. My wife and I drove with a truck bed full of coolers and surprisingly, the distance from our place south of Pittsburgh to North Sydney, Nova Scotia is just a couple miles further...

    Newfoundland moose hunt - Cooler Question

    My wife I will be leaving for Newfoundland in about a month and I have been agonizing over cooler space. Should we get lucky, I want to bring the meat home and butcher it. I have a friend that has a processing shop so I have access to walk in refrigeration and all the tools necessary. My concern...

    243 Twist Rate

    I'm getting my wife's 243 rebarreled (staying with 243) and trying to decide on the best twist. She will use this for deer and antelope so I plan on loading bullets in the 95 - 105 grain range. I'm thinking 1-8 should do it. Any thoughts?

    338-06 bullet choice?

    I had a Browning Abolt re-barreled to 338-06 late last year and I am very happy with how it turned out. I had a few 225gr barnes that I used for the barrel break in and sight in work and they ended up coming in right about an inch or a little less. I’ve shot 250gr Sierra’s, 200 grain Accubonds...

    Marine Corps Medal Eligibility

    Hey Marines, I was at the outdoor show in Harrisburg, Pa a week or so ago and stopped by the VFW booth. I found out that anyone deployed to South Korea after 1954 may be eligible for the Korean Defense Service Medal. I believe you have to have served at lease 30 consecutive or 60 non...

    Fox Mount

    Shout out to Pelican

    I bought a Pelican 1750 rifle case for airline travel in 2016. This year, flying to Alaska it arrived with a busted latch. When I got home I called customer service and asked if I could buy a new one. They sent me a new, latch, pin and instructions for install free of charge.

    Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40 CDS-ZL For Sale

    Bought this new last year and mounted to a 6.5/06. Rough sighted the gun in but never got groups I was happy with. Replaced the scope mounts and put on a different scope. After settling on a load, I don't want to mess with the set up (same scope only older without CDS). I think the mounts may...

    ER Shaw Rebarrel

    I wanted to share my experience with ER Shaw on a rebarrel they did on my Ruger M77 300wm. I called them back in February of this year to schedule the drop off as they are only about an hour and a half away from me. I went with 24” factory contour replacement. At the time the guy told me they...

    Another fun Wyoming Trip

    I just got back from another great Wyoming antelope hunt. This year I had the good fortune of taking two first timers with me. Chris used to work for me and his friend Jim decided last year to take me up on my offer to go and we applied for tags. Jim only wanted doe tags and Chris only wanted...

    Wyoming Preference Point Reminder

    Just a reminder that if you draw your second choice tag, you no longer get a point automatically, you have to go in and purchase that point. IIRC, that changed two years ago. I forgot about that and went to buy my deer and elk points and saw antelope was also available to buy, even though I...

    Berger 6.5 140gr VLD - WTB

    Anyone have half a dozen 140 grain Berger VLD's you're willing to part with? I have a load worked up for my 6.5-06 with Hammer bullets that I'm somewhat happy with but I'd like to see how Berger's perform but don't want to spend ~$60 on a box. If anyone has 6 bullets they would be willing to...

    Rebarrel Project

    Back in December I dropped off my Ruger 30/06 off for a new barrel as my groups had started to open up. I ended up getting a 6.5 Brux barrel installed. Picked it up last night and mounted the scope. I will try to get to the range this afternoon and see what we can do with it. Barrel and...

    Am I an idiot?

    Was in Scheels and found on their used gun rack a left handed Browning abolt stainless stalker in 375 H&H. Very good condition for $549. I didn’t buy it.
