I'm riding by horseback in to the Dearborn Wilderness Thursday. The forecast for Augusta MT. which is about the closest shows lows around 5 degrees Thursday and Friday. Probably be below zero up in the mountains. Highs in the teens I suspect with snow. I really must hate elk.:)

I was thinking about this in another thread. When you are young it is easy enough so I never wrote it down. But, after 35 years or so of deer hunting I have lost track. I kill two most years, but some years one and some years four or five. I wish I had kept some kind of diary. Might be a good...

I have sold several guns over the last few years and shipped them here and there. I have a stack of FFL's and corresponding shipping receipts for every gun I have sold. Is there any reason to hold on to these long term, or at all for that matter?

Anybody know the Savage or Stevens model number that this store brand crosses to? Thanks

I'm sure most have heard about the Remington 700. In this and other forums there have been maybe 20 or more reports from posters that they have had a similar experience with the Remington. One poster said he had a Model 70 discharge or at least the firing pin dropped without pulling the trigger...

How do you guys clean the barrel on your auto, pump, lever or whatever. I have always used bolt guns, but I'm thinking about a Browning auto. I always just push the solvent and patch out the end of the barrel. But, going the other way seems like would leave a mess of solvent and residue in the...

Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere else on this forum. CNBC has been advertising a program on Remington scheduled Oct 20, 9:00 PM Eastern. From the advertisement it would appear to be a negative deal. Anyhow, some of you might want to watch.

Reason I ask is that I had a neighbor growing up that killed a lot of deer with a pre-war Model 70 30-06 with peep sights. I shot a 3 inch group with it at 100 yards myself, although I don't know if I could do it now. I was really quite surprised. Seeing as how most shots are inside of 100...

I have found a couple of fair deals on a light mountain rifle. One is Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight and the other is a Remington Titanium. They are both about the same weight. Any opinions on which is better??

I think there has been a thread about this case in the past, but I couldn't find it in a search. Anyhow, he killed one of the Elk that are being reintroduced in to the NC mountains several months ago. Sentence was 150 days in jail, forfeiture of his rifle, and a fine. I suspect some substantial...

I was just surfing around the outfitter websites and looking at all the deer hunters wearing several hundred dollars worth of expensive camo and then have a big orange vest on top of it. Like a uniform or something. Almost looks silly to me. I do wear camo bow hunting. Otherwise it's jeans or...

I don't know much about the 338 Federal. Would it be a better Elk cartridge and Ok for deer also. Or, would I be better off to stick with the 308.

I'm looking for a lightweight rifle to take to Montana this fall. I'll take a 280, 30/06, or thereabouts, whichever I can get a deal on. Looking at the Remington TI, Browning Ti, and Weatherby Ultralight. There are some good deals on the Browning Ti in some cartridges right now, but I don't...

I sell a few guns on Gunbroker but I'm not a dealer. I have never made any exceptions for any state. If somebody in Ca. happens to be the high bidder on a pistol for instance and provides a verifiable transfer agent to ship it to, would I be safe to assume that the FFL there will let me know if...

I notice gunbroker is discounting the Browning TI's heavily.I have been looking for a titanium bolt action. Is it that bad?

I have a 870 Wingmaster with a 2 3/4 chamber made before they started putting recoil pads on everything. I know some of the 3 inch barrels will work as long as you use 2 3/4 shells. But, will they all interchange? Seems like some are marked LW or such. And, does the long chamber mess up the...

Kind of a tangent on Bowtek's thread. The first rifle I bought was a late sixties Model 70 XTR in 30/06. Since then I have bought dozens of rifles for many thousands of dollars. I bet if I had kept that 30/06 I would have killed exactly the same amount of game and had a bunch of money to spend...

Got a mess of doves this afternoon cleaned and in the fridge. I was going to wrap them in bacon and put them on the grill tomorrow. Anybody got any better ideas?

I used Acra Gel and bedded the recoil lug on a Win Model 70 in a Winchester synthetic stock, probably injection molded poly-something or the other. Anyway, popped it out after ten nours and the bedding came with the action. I sort of expected it since I didn't drill any holes or dremel anything...

I need a synthetic stock for a Winchester Model 70. I would put this in the rifle forum, but you usually get this is best because it's what I have. From people who install them, is there $300 difference between a B&C and a McMillan? Is there a $100 difference between a McMillan and a HS...
