So I moved home for the summer and my stepdad informed me that there were groundhogs eating his beans in one of our fields. I went and took a look, and holy crap they had eaten darn near a quarter of an acre completely off! !:mad:! I have been attempting to shoot them for a while now, but I...

Okay, so I have decided that I am going to trade in my 17 HMR and my Enfield this summer to get a 308 Varmint/Target Rifle. (These will be posted on the Firingline Gunshow soon too, if you are interested) I have narrowed it down to four guns that are in my price range and fit the bill. I have...

Okay, so I'm wanting to set up a home range to just plink and practice on. I have the perfect spot but I'm not sure how to set it up. What I have is a ditch behind my house. There is a long lane that leads back t it, around 200 yards, and it is down in a little valley. The creek runs...

:confused: Okay, so I recently acquired a 303 Enfield No 4. The gun is sporterized but in amazing shape for its age. The gun is in darn near perfect shape, but I saw something that was concerning. When I shot it this afternoon the bolt handle would jump most of the way up when it fired. Now...

If you were to gear up a Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun, what would do to it. Anything and everything goes, it would be used in bad weather conditions and is going to get beat up. So have at it, let's see what we can come up with.

I'm not much of a shotgun shooter, even though my screen name applies that. I own a Stoeger Condor in 20 gauge and I really like it. I shoot a lot of trap with it and it does me just fine. I owned an 870 Super Mag for a little while but I don't really like the big bulky shotgun like pumps and...

Well, my friend got his 300 Win Mag. We were looking at scopes and we really like all three of these. He and I looked through the Nikon Buckmaster, and it was amazingly clear and sharp. He looked through a VX III and said that it definitely got him interested. Then, at the same time our...

My good friend has decided that he wants to fill his need for recoil and is looking at a Ruger No 1 in either the 458 Win Mag or 458 Lott. Some have called both rounds 'Retina detachers', but he and I don't think they could be that bad. We have shot a 45-70 and he recently picked up a 300...

Okay, so I think everyone almost has me talked into another 45-70. I own a TC Encore, but I haven't had it long enough to put it to it's full potential. The best I have done is shoot some plastic jugs at 100 yards to sight it in. Having been looking for a good mountain rifle everyone...

Okay, after all the comments everyone left on the mountain rifle subject, I have decided to follow advice. The Marlin Guide Guns came highly recommended from a lot of people. 45-70 was also the popular round of choice on that as well. The thing is that I already have a 45-70 rifle that I...

Okay, so through much trial and advise in other forums I have decided that there isn't a good rifle round that can do distance while in a gun that can provide a quick 1-2 for some close in protection. I would be hunting in Alaska and through advise of a couple other people on here and a buddy...

I am looking at doing some mountain hunting in Alaska and I have been told by a local gunsmith that I should KG Coat my gun, especially if a part of it is reflective. I don't know a whole lot about it or the process. It seems like a decent idea to me, especially if I get something like a...

I am looking to get a good mountain gun for some hunting in Alaska. I'm going to do mostly elk, caribou and moose...and possibly bear if the situation arises. I would like something with some knock down power but I don't want to over power and blow an unnecessarily huge hole in my quarry. At...

Okay, after more discussion with my buddy, he and I determined that quick cycling is definitely important. I'm looking to do most of the hunting in Alaska, mainly Kodiak area. I was there for two months this summer and the entire island was screaming "Hunt Me!" The area I was in had a lot...

I'm looking to buy a mountain rifle. I have looked at several calibers and several different guns but nothing really strikes me as the all-in-all winner. .270 is a classic mountain gun yet .338 Win Mag and 7mm-08 are extremely popular as well. I don't really know what to do between those...
