    Hunting & Fishing So, for a dedicated Coyote gun...

    I really like the idea of a 22-250. Ever since the big AWB scare started, 223 and 308 ammo has become pretty scarce where I live. I load my own but even the store where I work is having a hard time keeping reloading components in stock... So I feel that it would be a good idea to have rifle...

    Hunting & Fishing Any info on hunting in Minnesota??

    How is MN as far as hunting and gun laws go? I'm from AZ and used to very loose gun laws with pretty good hunting opportunities. I've lived in the desert my whole life and know it pretty well. I'm considering moving to MN for a while for personal reasons and I'm wondering if it's going to be...

    CZ "513 Basic" Owners?

    I've never paid this rifle any attention and noticed in its description today that CZ says it's pretty much just a 452 minus the nice stock and adjustable trigger. It's also much lower cost than the typical 452, obviously depending on the model compared to. For the budget minded buyer, this...

    Light Headed? Help!

    Usually if I stand up and immediatly stretch (imagine getting up after a long boreing movie finally ended) I get very light headed. It's usually controllable, I just have to stay still and support myself on occasion until it passes. This only started happening a few years ago, and I figured it...

    What Does Your Practice Routine Consist Of?

    I know many of us just go out and shoot with little regard to what we plan to do once we're at the range. I would like to set up some courses of fire to better my marksmanship with that I will shoot each day at the range. I personally feel that a warmup may be unneccesairy, however, I do...
