    Talked me out of it. 300 Rum with lots of extras.

    Stopped by my local gunshop a few days ago and the owner who I have known for years handed me a plain jane Remington ADL in 300 RUM. Gun is in good condition and looks to have not have too many rounds through it.. I would say no more than 100 at most. Anyway... he is asking a clean 1000 for it...

    Winchester M70 long action blank canvas... ideas on what to build.

    Well... I find myself in a odd predicament. I have a action that is in need of a new barrel. seeing that I have a couple 270s, a 25-06, 2 30-06s.. and a 35 Whelen as far as long action calibers go... I wanted to possibly build a 280AI or maybe another 270 with a 25 inch barrel and a 1-8 inch...

    Barnes Muzzleloading bullets still being made?

    I have been looking since last year trying to find them in stock but no luck whatsoever. Heard they may have been bought out by Speer but not been able to confirm. I have been trying to find some Spitfire MZ but seems nobody has had any in stock for over a year. I dont know if this is all due to...

    Anybody fish the Gulf Coast of Florida during mid July?

    Little bit out of the norm but... The wife and I will be heading down that way for vacation and I was curious if anybody on here had any suggestions on what to fish for or if its even worthwhile this time of the year. I figured I would take a few rods with me just in case.

    Anyone have any suggestions on a decent hiking distance app for Android?

    I usually just use my OnX to track the distance but Im looking for something on a app that could track distance elevation and time. I know there are several out there but I have no experience with anything I was really that impressed with. The ones I have found that I like all seem to be geared...

    280? 280AI Goldilocks

    Too much or too little gun. The age old reason to build something else..... maybe. Lets say for example that you limited your shots to under 450 yards that still being 100 yards further than I can recall shooting at anything bigger than a groundhog that being said it makes it all just about a...

    Ideas on a new barrel for a old workhorse.

    Meet Penelope, my dad's old Winchester in 30-06 that he carried pretty much everywhere under the sun from 1972 when he bought it in Redmond Oregon till he retired it due to the accuracy deteriorating a few years before he passed in 2017. He hunted Oregon, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Minnesota...

    Finally finished the new chuck box.

    I stole the idea the best I can recall from my grandfathers old chuck box. He worked for the Forest Service for almost 40 years doing everything from fighting fire to building trail and everything in between and his chuck box always stayed in the back of his truck or in his work vehicle. Having...

    Finally fixed up the little Lund

    I have a 1987 Lund Pro Pike that is about perfect for one person or two out on the many little lakes around the house. Its a tiller control and is good and wide so it fishes very comfortably. Its been a great boat and has really served its purpose through the years so I figured it was about time...

    Anybody interested in a eastern bear hunt OTC with deer tags and a turkey tag for under 350 dollars?

    I feel like I have gained a ton of knowledge from folks on this forum both before and after I set up an account. I have had dreams realized and made future plans based on many of the things read on here. I also feel like I have not really given much compared to what I have taken so this is in...

    How many deer on average do you see per hunting day?

    Thought this would be a interesting thread. So many variables can be tossed in here to muddy it up but to keep it somewhat clear generally how many animals do you expect to see on a given hunt in your area on a average day afield. I've hunted quite a few different states for whitetail and it's...

    Leaving in the morning for Wyoming.

    I'm packed up and heading out the door tomorrow morning for another try at a cow. It's about a 22 hour drive give or take depending on traffic (probably going to be crappy tomorrow) with the holiday driving. Hoping the last couple of snows have pushed them around some. Either way should be a fun...

    Heading back (again) to Wy Unit 8 in Dec. Try to fill a cow tag.

    I gave it a shot in early September and tried to find a cow before the migration with no luck (imagine that) so I'm going to head due west once again in early December. (Should have listened to the biologist the first time and waited) I've got a week of leave I have to burn before end of the...
