    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...

    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...

    Usually if I stand up and immediatly stretch (imagine getting up after a long boreing movie finally ended) I get very light headed.
