    Remington 700 VTR Pics

    the VTR seems to catch a lot of flack compared to remington's other heavy-barrel offerings, but people who know what they're doing get some really good results from them.

    Hunting & Fishing Opinions on experience w PA game warden (not a good one)

    go talk to a lawyer. Now, not when the fine is due. A lawyer will tell you if he can get you some actual relief. We on the internet forum can just spout some opinions, but offer no real relief (other than the advice to consult an attorney).

    Help for first rifle?

    advantages of hawg hunter are: 1. heavy contour barrel, 2. threaded barrel, 3. accutrigger. so I'd say yes, but its your decision to make. I also prefer the 20" barrel of the HH to the 22" of the stevens.

    Help for first rifle?

    Yep, agree with this. Opinions vary, of course, but I think this is the lowest cost platform out there that will have some longevity for you. You will have a good barreled action, a good optic, and a good stock.

    Convert my heavy tactical or build a new light weight hunter/tactical

    My guess would be yes. I think you made the right decision on building a new one.

    Good bullet weight for deer?

    it is interesting how routinely dead the stone age C&C projectiles kill stuff, isn't it?

    1 Hunting rifle for my wife and I. production rifle. Savage / Tikka

    will be accurate, light to carry, and will kick your teeth out, especially the 7 mag version. I'm with 45.308, go with the 7-08 or even 243. You will spend a lot more time shooting a lighter-kicking rifle.

    Need a new deer gun and recoil help please.

    part of the issue with the mosin is the steel buttplate and stock design. they are kickers.

    Factory 300 Win Mag, Rem 700 5R vs Sendero

    flip a coin. neither one will shoot better out of the box. let me put that differently ... you could get a lemon with either one. but factory remington heavy barrels typically shoot pretty well. if you are dead set on getting a brake (not a bad idea with a .300 mag), get the pre-threaded...

    Hunting & Fishing How do you feel about crossbows

    crossbows have ALWAYS had a stigma, which I find somewhat amusing. they're still a far cry from using a centerfire rifle, or even a muzzleloader. I don't care much for hunting with them because the dang things are bulky, and really seem pretty boring to me. I'd just assume take a nice short...

    Hunting & Fishing Muzzleloader Help

    The knights are wonderful muzzleloaders, very accurate and well made. The T/C will shoot almost as good, or "good enough", and be simpler to operate and easier to clean. T/C omega or triumph is my recommendation. Been there, done that.

    Hunting & Fishing Freaking BOT FLY in my squirrel!

    We call 'em wolves in MS too. I've been on a particular early season hunt, some years ago, where every squirrel we shot was infested with them.

    any issues with the new Savage rifles?

    Yes. the hawg hunter is the best deal going right now if you aren't going to leave the rifle in factory configuration.

    Good Youth Starter Rifle

    this dude is 8 ... the Remington 700 youth in .243 is the right suggestion. As he gets bigger, you can swap the stock out to a full size McM. I think the .22 LR suggestion is good (better?) too.
