    Best el-cheapo build starter

    I would just get a 10/22 Ruger. They can shoot with a little work and good stones will take you far. Lots of after market stuff. Get an unfinished stock and give your kids a project. Mine will hold 1MOA at 100 yrds. Only took me 15 years to build it. LOL. Do yourself a favor and get a 20" kidd...

    Midwayusa or voodoo drag bag for 3 gun competition

    At one time I liked Midway. Now Midway=China, and the shipping costs are high.... If you read this Larry, please fix the situation.

    Rifle Scopes Capped Turrets

    Life as I know it would not be possible with capped elevation turrets. I was sort of worried about uncapped windage, but over a year now with almost daily uncapped wind turrets and I have yet to spin the dial unintentionally. Most of the time my rifle is slung over my shoulder while I ride my...

    Survey 24 inch, or 26 inch .260 Remington BBL

    I always like to go a little longer, just so Iam not to short when I set back and rechamber.

    Jewell vs timney

    Well, maybe I have been lucky. Just so I am not surprised, what do they do when they fail ?

    Alpha Mags

    Maybe I got lucky, but It took less than a week to get a 10 round mag from them and it functions in my Surgeon bottom metal without a problem.

    Why No 30 06

    I have been shooting a 30-06 so long I guess I had not noticed it was no longer popular. My mountain rifle is a late 40s FN Mauser. It currently has a #3 Lilja 1-11 3 groove, a McMillan stock, and a Timney trigger. Launching Berger 185s it packs well and kills with authority.

    Jewell vs timney

    Almost forgot. I work mine in very dusty conditions. When it is time to clean, I blow them out with a little compressed air, then lighter fluid, and then air again. No problems. Timney or Jewel.

    Jewell vs timney

    I have both. I like both. When I need to go real lite I go Jewel. Not so lite, I go Timney. I once dropped a Mauser on the floor with a Timney installed. Broke the tip of the trigger. Stupid move on my part. I called Timney to replace just the trigger and the gal on the phone insisted on sending...

    Ruger M77 in .260, Compact Version

    I know a few people who have them, and I have an older tang style M77. Timney has a trigger for that gun but it will need to be fitted. I like them as hunting rifles, not to fond of the factory barrel. Mine is fitted with a Shilen stainless Match, and it will easily hold .5 MOA from the bench...

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    Recoil always matters, less is best. Even the magnums are not magic if you hit them in the wrong spot. My 30-06 has killed everything you are about to hunt.

    Hunting & Fishing Foxpro or Wildlife Technologies

    When it comes to calling I prefer to play small ball, and call into every cut. Rather than try and hit a home run with high volumne and call into it all at once. As to the Marts machine. Very good sound quality if you can keep them running. The FoxPro is simply bullet proof, they just work, but...

    Hunting & Fishing Why Guns and Ammo HATES the .308

    I am a little offended at the guys article. When I was a young kid I remember being paired with a Marine in one of the individual matches at Camp Perry Ohio. Wind was blowing like crazy. I don't even remember my score, but the Marine shot a perfect score at 600 yards and at least 13 X with a...

    Hunting & Fishing Its coyote mating season! Ready to unleash the FoxPro - questions

    I am going to disagree. The so called locators will and do call coyotes. I have had plenty come into them without making a sound. If you are going to use coyote sounds to locate you should be set up and ready to shoot. If not there is a good chance you will be educating a lot of coyotes, and the...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting coyote in woods

    Don't waste time when you set up. In open ground I often glass before I call but in tight cover you have got to set up fast, quiet and just call. The longer you sit around waiting the more you risk having your scent drift and having the wind change. Once you get busted , it is often an uphill...
