    Rifle Scopes Need scope advice for unknown distances

    I just put a Vortex 4-16X50 FFP scope on my 300 Win Mag. It's going to be my elk gun. I plan on practicing way out there, but I may never shoot at a big game animal beyond 500 yards. I don't like wounding the game...

    Vest for AR magazines?

    Well, that's a good point. I sometimes think beyond home defense. Like what if the economy goes belly up. Or what if there is a natural disaster where chaos and thugs rule. Or with all the people who hate the U.S., what if there is war on American soil. Finding yourself in an armed conflict...

    Vest for AR magazines?

    I was wondering what vest you would suggest for packing AR-15 magazines. Things have changed so much since I was in the military, that I have a lot to learn. Back in the day we used magazine pouches that fit on a pistol belt. I know there are better systems now. When the Zombies attack I...

    Nosler accubond

    I couldn't get Nosler Partitions to shoot under a inch and a half, at 100 yards. They do really hold together well, when hitting bone. I used to hunt with them a lot 35 years ago. Nosler Ballistic Tip were very accurate in my testing, but I had several blow up on the shoulder blades of deer...

    Nosler accubond

    I just discovered a magic load for my 270. I went up a 1/2 grain of powder, and shot a 1/4 inch, four shot group, at 100 yards. I was using 140 grain Accu-bond bullets. I was going to try Berger bullets next, but Accu-bond are proving extremely accurate, so I have no desire to try anything...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns glock gen 3 to gen 4 questions

    I've got a couple of Gen 4 pistols in 9mm. My hands aren't big. I really like the hand fit now.... My daughter has a baby glock, gen 4. She even likes it for her small hands. I think the recoil springs have been replaced on all the newer models. I don't think there are issues with...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Gerber Mark II , really?

    If I remember right, a Gerber MKII sold for about thirty bucks back in 1970. When I graduated from SF training many of us figured we needed a killer knife, so we went down to the PX and bought one. None of us had had any training in knife fighting. They didn't teach that in any of our...

    Nosler 125gr Ballistic Tip for .308...any success stories?

    I've used ballistic tip bullets for years. I was truly impressed by their accuracy, but I quit using them because they are very explosive. I've had four or five bullets blow up on the shoulder blades of antelope and deer. That was enough.....I don't want to hit that shoulder blade normally...

    Rifle Scopes Ranging with MOA

    I've got a MOA scope and I plan on doing that. For longer ranges it would be good to have a quality range finder also. For years I used a duplex reticle in a 3x9 Leupold scope. It was first focul plane, so I had to make sure it was on 9 power. A deer sized critter would cover up exactly...

    Leather Saddle Scabbord?

    6.5 Guy, Thanks for the offer on that scabbord. I think I have a scabbord to buy over here. I worry about that top target turret though. It could probably get damaged if a guy isn't careful. My horses and mules are still on the wild side. In the mountains crazy stuff sometimes happens...

    IMR powder

    IMR powders have been the only powder I've used for going on fifty years. I am an old fart, but started reloading when I was about 13. As long as I didn't blow up our farm house, my Dad left me alone. Got an RCBS standard press for Christmas that year. I recently shot a four shot 1/4 inch...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Gerber Mark II , really?

    I was wondering what an older MkII knife is worth. Back in 1970 I bought what looks like one, at a PX at Ft. Bragg. I was talking with a S.F. soldier recently. He wanted to buy it. I have no idea what it is worth. It has sat in my closet for over forty years. It is in perfect condition...

    Has anyone used a lead sled two or lead sled?

    I still think a lead sled is a good idea if you have a heavy recoiling rifle. I might add that I've never used a lead sled. I planned to buy one before I engineered a nylon strap that absorbs almost all the felt recoil. I have not seen a change in zero. I am also able to shoot my tightest...

    Has anyone used a lead sled two or lead sled?

    A buddy of mine shoots a 338 off of a bench. He said he bought a lead sled and loved it. I was going to buy one, but got to thinking, of something else. I had some heavy nylon webbing and made a type of belt with a buckle on it. I screwed a 2X4 in front of where my front sand bag goes. I...

    Leather Saddle Scabbord?

    Thanks Idaho1. Where abouts are you in Northern Idaho? I used to fall timber over in the Lochsaw.

    Leather Saddle Scabbord?

    Great idea, Jim! A buddy of mine used to own a saddle shop, and has a big sewing machine, rivets, etc. I'll start looking for a piece of harness leather.

    Leather Saddle Scabbord?

    Nothing fancy. It will get banged up over time anyway. You're probably right, I may have to get a custom scabbord made.

    Leather Saddle Scabbord?

    Does anyone know of a larger, leather-saddle scabbord, for a rifle (with a long-range scope). I've got a couple of saddle scabbords, but neither are big enough to accept my rifle and new scope. I just bought a Vortex 4-16X50. I also have a 26 inch barrel on my 300 Win. Mag. It is sometimes...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help me put a sidearm in my wifes hands...

    I bought my wife a Ruger LCP 380. She takes it jogging and even to work at one of her jobs, late at night. I'm a Glock fan. I love my GLock 19. The new ones will fit smaller hands better than the older models. They are kind of fat though with that double stack magazine. I also have a...
