Thinking about buying a pair of new binos, and considering these two with LRF's built in. In the past, I had Leica (prior version) and Zeiss LRF binos for brief periods, but found neither worked as reliably on darker colored, fur-covered animals, such as deer and feral pigs as the Swaro LRF...

I won a certificate for 600 Berger bullets and am looking for recommendations on some of their bullets to try in 30 cal. My rifles are 308 with 1:12 24" and a 300 Win Mag with 1:11 26". The loads need to fit in AI mags please. Thanks.

This past week I was helping four people practice for their concealed carry test which was today. All were using factory ammo. There were two defective rounds in the course of the day. One was Winchester 9mm 115 gr FMJ, which had the bullet crushing the lip of the case causing significant...

Thought others might enjoy this video I took a couple of years ago. It was just one of those spectacles of nature that is a magic moment that makes hunting so enjoyable. This video is from a large South Texas low fence ranch. We were by a stock tank that was the only water within miles during...

A friend recently just had to have the NF scope off of my rifle, so I ordered a new replacement, a 5.5x22x56 with NP-R1. Last week, I was at the range with two friends, one of whom had a S&B 5x25, and the other had a Swarovski 3.5x18x44. All of us were a bit surprised, but all agreed, the NF...

There is almost continuous discussion here of this bullet vs. that bullet for deer hunting. The discussion usually seems to falls into two distinct lines of thought, either the use the most heavy duty construction bullet from a magnum of some variety vs. the use whatever you can shoot best...

Had a chance to test some Zeiss Victory LRF 8x56 binos. The "bird" in my handle comes from my involvement in bird conservation, doing field surveys, leading groups, and just going birding, so I have the chance to see lots of binoculars. In short, the glass is stunning, the best I have ever...

Would appreciate some input from those who live in the cold weather areas. I am heading to Saskatchewan in mid-November for deer hunting. Should I use mag primers instead of large rifle for 308 and 7WSM? I use Varget in the 308 and MagPro in the 7WSM. Temps likely will be be below...

This round has caught my eye for a potential match round as it appears that it will add 250 - 300 fps over a 243 with the heavier 6mm bullets. Would appreciate some input on a few questions. Will this knock over a steel reliably at longer ranges? Will this round feed out of an AI AW mag and...

This year my wife and I will hunt for culling purposes in a bird sanctuary in the suburbs near Austin, Texas. (I also hunt on a very large ranch in South Texas where I am working on learning deer management.) The culling is to suppress deer density. The landowner, a bird conservation group...

With hunting season around the corner, what suggestions and recommendations do you guides and landowners wish your hunters knew? Anything that you especially like or dislike? What makes you want to put a boot up their backside? What brings a smile to your face?

Was caught in a sudden heavy downpour today - which was welcome in the middle of our drought so I'm not complaining. The rifle was not soaked, but definitely took some water all over. Any suggestions about anything beyond the usual cleaning that I ought to do? The rifle is a R700 in an...

Whoops! The video says it all. And I have no connection to the ranch or the hunters, just sharing a good one. Cull Buck Mistake
