    Hunting & Fishing My Daughters first antelope....

    Both of my girls drew antelope tags this year, this is Taylor's first big game kill of any kind. We didn't get her 6 Creedmore done in time for this hunt, so she used my .308 instead. One shot @ 410 meters with a 165 Accubond did the trick! I couldn't be more proud, both girls have been...

    I just removed a Jewel HVR from my Remington and put it in a Templar action. I had to remove the bolt release on the trigger, which didn't seem to be a big deal. I installed the trigger in the Templar action, safety checked it, everything seemed great. Went to the bench, fired 3 rounds and...

    After several tough days in the field we came across this guy. She took him at 351 meters with a Remington 700 in 25-06, using a 115gr Berger VLD. This is her second season hunting and second buck. I'm pretty proud of her, she is becoming a great hunter and is an excellent shot!

    1906 Winchester...Help!

    I picked one up the other day for next to nothing. It was missing the stocks, but not a big deal I found replacements. I'm not concerned with historical value on this rifle because I am going to let my kids shot the hell out of it. I take it apart last night to clean it up and was horribly...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Zeiss 8x26 T PRF rangefinder.

    Are any of you using one of these, and how do you like them? I have the Swarovski 8x30, but I'm not all that wild about the display or how big the circle is that you put on the object you are ranging. Is the Ziess better, worse, how far well it range, and how are the optics?
