    RSS Following Problems

    If this has been answered somewhere, after I get an ass ripping that I deserve, please help me to the right post. That being said, I use NewsBlur to conglomerate most of the sites/forums that I follow. I was able to follow the Options/Accessories for sale and Bear Pit, but when I copy/paste...

    Hunting & Fishing My First Bull

    In my fifth year of hunting (all archery), and after 1 cow, I harvested my first bull this year. Archery really isn't this site's mojo, but I thought I'd share anyways. The hunt was 100% DIY on Wyoming public land. I had a camp setup on a ridge 5-6 miles back on foot from the nearest road. I...

    CZ 455 Question

    Is there any indication or reason to believe that there is any difference in the actions from one model to another? I'm looking at getting one of the Precision Trainers, but they are hard to find. I have plans on using lilja barrel anyways, so is there any reason I couldn't just buy a cheapo...

    So this is kind of a follow as my thoughts develop on a first build. Sure I'm no sniper, nor do I have any intent to be, nor would I have the rifle skills or the stalking skills, or the patience ..... BUT I take pride in knowing my firearms have purpose beyond that of punching paper and...

    .300 Win Mags - Where are they?

    I don't see many 300 win mags on here or for sale. I was thinking about getting one with a brake as my first jump into the long range tactical market. What am I missing? SHould I be looking elsewhere for 'better than 308' ballistics? Thanks Gents. Dave
