    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Rifle Stock

    Not to change subject, but how is the recoil on this rifle with the edge filled stock?

    Hunting & Fishing Quality Knifes?

    I tend to be rough on knives, I use the same knife to skin deer as I do to clear shooting lanes. Some of these custom knives are to pretty for me, how do Esse knives compare, any feedback?

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with a .260

    What is the "grizz load"? How far out was he? Was the bullet recovered?

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    I've got a line on a used 700 in 7mm, I might trade into it and give it a try- as a recoil test, that will be rifle #3, the 300 win mag and 300 wsm kick too much for me. This is frustrating, but fun too. Every time I come home off the road, I take some trade equity out of the safe and hit the...

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    The 308 I have is a 700 milspec with a nightforce nxs scope, so it weighs 11-12 lbs., not really a hunting rifle. I've got a bone stock 700 in 270 and it's all the gun I'd ever need in Virginia- probably most anywhere I would hunt, but I'm looking for a touch heavier bullet to allow a little...

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    I'm doing a little recoil shopping now. I've had the 300 wind mag with no break for awhile- kicks a tad to much, I picked up a 300WSM- kicks worse, I've got some trading guns so I've found a 7mm and a 300win mag with a break, I might trade into these two and see where that lands me. I think I...

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    I used to own a 260 in model 7 years ago, it was a kick butt little rifle, hate that one got away. I like my 270, but it can sit in the safe- I've got an itch to build a new rifle! I know accuracy is everything- I just can't imagine shooting at a moose with a 140 grain 260, but it only takes one...

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    Yeah, your right, I'll get to hunt elk with a rifle every few years, moose/ caribou maybe once or twice in my life, and Africa is in 2018 but may be the only time I'm ever there. I would just like to have a rifle that I pick up and have 100% confidence in when I take a 40 yard shot at a...

    Hunting & Fishing Small framed hunter custom rifle build

    Well, I've finally got enough coin together to build a hunting rifle just the way I want. First hurdle is caliber choice. I've had a 300 win mag TC Encore for a couple years, and shot it a bunch, but it/ me aren't nearly as accurate as I want. I can only get 2-3" groups with this gun @ 100 yds-...

    Hunting & Fishing 2018 South Africa hunting trip

    I've heard the taxidermy their is of good quality and price, and that shipping a finished good home is cheaper than shipping unfinished animal skins. My big focus now is to find someone that can show my family a good safe time, while still providing me with a good hunt. I'm not interested in...

    Hunting & Fishing 2018 South Africa hunting trip

    Sad to say, but apples for apples you can fly half way around the world and hunt half a dozen different animals for about the same money as you can go on a upper end elk hunt.

    Hunting & Fishing 2018 South Africa hunting trip

    I haven't really gotten serious about game selection yet. My thoughts were to find a safe and exiting outfitter for my family, then pick game based upon what they had in their area.

    Hunting & Fishing 2018 South Africa hunting trip

    So while going through the process of buying points/ applying for tags etc. I realized I need to get cracking on planning my 2018 Africa hunting trip. This will be my first trip to Africa and intend on taking my wife and daughter who will be ten by the time it rolls around. I will be hunting...

    Maggie’s Thank you soldiers

    My wife and I just saw the movie Lone Survivor. I have read this book and it seems like the movie followed pretty close to the book, but this isn't a movie review. I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all of the men and women both on this site and everywhere around the world...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Of all things, I lost an eye to a fishing accident about 15 years ago, I was hit with a sinker. I work in construction and constantly bitch to people about wearing safety glasses, you never know when something stupid is going to happen.
