I have a rifle that I'm thinking of re-barreling into .376 Steyr. I got this idea after talking to a friend on what I could do with this rifle that I have. It is a Win M70 XTR in 7mm Rem Mag. I just can't warm up to the 7mm Mag, in fact I'd almost say I despise this cartridge. So I've been...

I've been reading a bit of "Art of the Rifle" and I found a few quotes that would have went well in a previous thread about the the use of the word "Weapon" to describe firearms. I don't remember seeing these quotes in the original thread and I really don't want to beat a dead horse too much...

Well I've had my mount back for awhile now and I was playing with my Camera so I thought I'd post a before and after pic. BEFORE AFTER

At least on my work computer. I like to check out what everyone is saying on my breaks or before I start work in the morning as I'm there at least 15 min early. I'll admit I've stayed on longer than I should at times but I don't kill any more time during the day than the smokers. Nothing...

I have a .338-06 that I have a bunch of silver plated brass for that I want to neck down to 8mm-06. I replaced all my .338-06 brass with properly headstamped Norma brass so I have the stuff just lying around. I figure if I use the silver brass on my 8mm-06 it will help to keep it from getting...

Had a great time in Alaska as some of you might know from some of the pictures I posted. Any way I promised to report on the hunt as soon as I got back home. It was a very short but satisfying hunt to say the least. We arrived in Petersburg on Sunday the 6th of May. We picked up some...

3 Days and counting! Heading to the Petersburg area for some black bear hunting on Saturday. Hope this will be the first of many adventures in AK. If I have any luck I'll be sure to post some pictures of my experience.

There are ways around the only one deer a year rule in CO. As hunter you can only have one "draw" tag, and one "over the counter tag" a year but you can have an unlimited amount of landowner or raffle/auction tags. Our seasons for Deer are generaly shorter than most States and to get a deer in...

I seem to have offended a poster on here who asked me by PM for my load data. He read a post I had in the hunting forum about me shooting my deer this last season at 560 yards. This was on an ethics question and long range hunting. The question: My answer: His Reply: Now the poster did...

After I read this post I called it total B.S. and some other people agreed with me. I wanted to know who, when and where this testing took place, since this was an eye witness account. So I received a PM today with a quote from an article in Guns Magazine from Sep 2001...

And the final pic.

Got these pics as well through an email, don't know the story behind them as well. It had to be exciting though to watch and take pics.

I have no clue as to the story behind this lion, it is just some pictures I received in an e-mail I thought were cool.

I just bought my tickets to AK yesterday. I'm going on a self guided Black Bear hunt in my in SE Alaska. I'm getting really excited as this will be my first hunting trip to AK. I'm going with some guys who have been going for the last three years so I'm not going in blind at least. I'm...

Actually it was a drunk who ruined my hunt. It took me a long time to decide if I was going to post on this topic. Back in October I headed up to Craig Colorado to hunt elk, I was invited by a coworker to go and since I didn't draw my Ranching for Wildlife area it seemed like a good idea. My...

Ok I guess choosing one cartridge to base my poll off of wasn't good enough for almost everyone. Here is what I read to give me the Idea for my first poll anyway http://skyblu.wordpress.com/target-shooting/the-top-cartridge-of-the-last-century/ and...

Double post sorry.

The cartridge by which all modern rifles a judged by has to be the .30-06 and I think most people will agree with me on this. Most of us have compared some other rifle to the 06 in this forum at one time. My question is what is the next best cartridge out there based on the .30-06 case. This...

I did one thing that I thought I would never do, and another that I've been wanting to do. The first thing I did was purchase a Win Model 70 XTR Sporter, I've been wanting a model 70 for a couple of years now. I'm still kicking myself in the but for not buying a Classic Featherweight in 7-08 I...

My rifle season opened up on Saturday for Plains Mule Deer in Colorado. I was totally looking forward to this hunt, since my Elk hunt was a total bust this year. The only down side was that I only had two days to hunt, but I still had a good feeling because we had some deer back. The drought...
