    Redfield 3X9 Greenie...Coincidence? Your thoughts......

    Great story, and thank you for your service. Definitely puts a "worth more than money" value on those scopes.

    Ruger 300 BLK Ranch Rifle

    I had not seen this! Thanks for sharing! I'm liking the .300blk version to use with a suppressor while going after feral pigs in here in TX

    .243 build ideas

    If you plan on shooting it until she is ready, I would recommend tracking your round count. .243 is a barrel burner. If using a custom barrel, there is the option to set it back when the throat is eroded by the gasses torching it. For this reason, I would suggest looking into 6.5 Creedmoor or...

    What to do with 10/22 take off barrels?

    Between my dad and I, we have a few 10/22 carbine barrels laying around, collecting dust, seeing as much use as a snowmobile in Texas. Is there anything out there that makes these barrels worth more than tent stakes or $40 online sales? Please share if you have done anything interesting with a...

    Remington 700 Help Please...

    Gonna be tough to find one! I would really suggest looking over the used rifle racks at your local guns shops to find a long action 700 with floorplate to customize. Talk to your gunsmith and see if he has any .30 cal barrels in stock with a 1-10 to 1-12 twist or any deals for a barrel of that...

    Remington 700 Help Please...

    700 SPS long range is tough to find since Rem canned the model. If you find one on the classifieds, jump on it. Another great option (if you're feeling generous) would be to find a hunting season special SPS long action with the bolt face for .30-06 and have a havy barrel put on in place of...

    Howa weapon systems report

    I love my Howa, and I'm glad to see more and more shooters trying them! My load is similar except my rifle prefers 168 Barnes or A-Max for sub 1/2 MOA on the "good days" and stays at 1/2" the rest of the time. Great rifle, action is awesome and I agree on the trigger choice!

    Remington 700 Help Please...

    700 long range .30-06 and a DBM would be the perfect choice! PT&G bottom metal and AI mag or go with Wyatt's for no inlet work and single stack mag.

    22cb long vs .17 cal

    Been using CB long for snakes since I realized it was no louder than my pellet rifle. Very good choice for snakes around the house!

    Hunting & Fishing General Purpose Fishing Rod and Reel

    I agree with our peers, you were given very sound advice and pointed toward the water with a great list of ideas and instructions. I have been fishing nearly every day for the last 4 years, testing new gadgets, poles, sometimes breaking them, then trying more. Look for a pole with an IM8...

    Hunting & Fishing Nuisance hogs and a challenge...

    Just north of College Station, Texas is where I spent my evening on July 5th, bass fishing and having a good time with people I like to be around. After 8 good bass caught on a Spro green frog tied to 65lb braided line, I reached the magic number and we were done fishing for the day. As we sat...
