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-...

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...

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...

Well, turns out I get to head to Argentina in March for some dove and duck hunting with a chance at winning a red stag tag while there. I'll be taking my Encore 300 Win. Mag. for the stag but I need to upgrade my shotgun. I've been using a BPS for years and the thing is just so heavy and long to...

I'm starting to plan a trip to Wyoming this fall for a DIY Antelope and Mule Deer hunt. It'll be public land and camping. I was wondering if any of you had suggestions or tips to get me started. I'm working on getting the area maps printed and getting my apps filled out for the licenses. I don't...

Well every year I look forward to taking the family to Pa for the Eastern Sport Show, looks like that's not going to happen this year! That sucks, no other shows like it around here!

Guys, I'm calling on those of you with experience in the bigger guns, specifically the 50BMG. I've been wanting one for awhile and was going to get on later this year, with the events happening lately my time frame has been moved up, problem is supply! I was wanting an Armalite AR50A1 but am...

OK, I can't seem to figure out how to get a picture loaded on this post, below is a link to a picture. I was deer hunting the other day and came across these tracks. The rifle in the picture is a TC Encore, the gloves are large. These tracks were every 8-9' apart, the only think I can imagine...

Ok, new year, time to get in shape. I am on the road about 25 days a month, living in hotels and eating from restaurants. I typically don't have any way to store or prepare food, I often get off work too late to hit a gym and only about half of the hotels I live in have any type of fitness room...

I just picked up a FN-FNAR the other day. She's naked now and needs glass. This is the first rifle of the kind I have owned and was curious what you guys that may own rifles like this use for optics. My thought is that this is a reasonably accurate semi-auto rifle that should be capable of...

I'm headed to Montana in November for an elk/ mule deer hunt. I'll be flying out and was wondering when you guys fly to and from a hunt how do you transport the meat? I won't be able to bring all of the meat home but still wanted to bring some home. The guide assures me that any meat I don't...

Looking for a new hunting knife. I have a Benchmade 156 know that I really like I just want something a little smaller to make easier to carry on the side. The 156 is a 6" blade that wieghs 9.6 oz. I am looking for a 4" knife that has some meat to it, I have used the 156 to hack trails through...

Well I finally spent a few bucks on a November Elk/ Mule deer hunt in Montana and I need some gear. Looking for some feedback from you guys. Thanks in advance. 1. 4500cu +/- backpack- looking @ Eberlestock 2. below 0 lightweight sleeping bag?? 3. Swarovski EL binocs. I have some other things...

So I've been wanting to go to Africa hunting, the funds will be available for me next year. Problem is I have a daughter that will be 5 next spring and I can't justify the cost of the hunt without taking the family along. I was wondering if any of you have ever taken your family with to Africa...

Ok guys, I finally got to get out to the range this morning for the first time with my 700 5R and the Nightforce 5.5-22 X 50. This is my first experience with a higher power scope like this and I have few questions. I am legally blind in my left eye and the pupil doesn't function so I am...

Anyone shooting/ carrying the Ruger LC9? I've been looking for something a little smaller than my Glock 19 for carry. I like the looks and price of this little gun and was just looking for a little feedback.

Ok, well bought a Remington model 700 5R Milspec .308 rifle, I've got a Nightforce NXS 5.5 X 22 X 50 on order with a Nightforce direct mount, once I get it all together its time to start shooting. I dont have my reloading equipment set up yet- dont have the time, So I'll be shooting factory ammo...

Well, I'm just about settled on a NF 3.5 X 15 X 50 for my Remy model 700, i've got a local dealer who'll cut me a good price on one and I like the scope well. Since I never intend on moving this scope once on the rifle I am leaning heavily toward a unimount style mount such as the Nightforce...

Like many here I am new to long range shooting. I have recently purchased a Remington model 700 5R Milspec rifle in .308 and will be purchasing a scope for it soon. My biggest question is this- I am legally blind in my left eye, I use my right eye to shoot. Having this problem makes it hard to...

Ok, so I've done some research, looking over some of the replies from my previous thread, and due to money, I will probably be purchasing a stock rifle- most likely a Remington. So out of the stock Remington rifles- which do you favor the most? Likes- dislikes? I really like the 700 target...
