I live in rural North Idaho. A few years ago some really bright guys in the federal government elected to plant Canadian Timber Wolves in North Idaho. Well, they recently made it to our neighborhood. We had a deer killed 75 yards from our house and our neighbor had 2 killed within 30 yards of...

FYI Not a very informative press release, but perhaps there is hope for the '94 and model 70. Anyone heard any more? Bri http://www.winchester.com/pressroom/news/pressreleases/releasedetail.aspx?storyid=172 8/15/2006 East Alton, IL, August 15, 2006 --Winchester announced today that it...

Well, I have always wanted a nice, yet somewhat reasonably priced, double shotgun, and after a bunch of pondering decided on an over/under. It took me a long time to decide on the one I wanted. Last week I got to check out a Franchi Alcione SX for the first time, and I have to say this thing...

Back around Christmas I bought a Win Coyote in 7WSM off of gunbroker. It's topped with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14 mil-dot. I have adjusted the trigger and bedded the action in acra-glas gel. All loads have been with 150 grain Sierra Match Kings. First batch of shooting was with IMR4831...

I thought some of you guys might like to see my latest toy. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Winchester Stealth (first gen, with the HS Precision stock) off gunbroker. I also traded a FAL for a new scope and rings, the scope is a Nikon Monarch 6.5-20x44 with the Illuminated Mil-Dot reticle...

http://www.krem.com/ Check out the video link at the site. SPOKANE - The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department says a store clerk at Lew's Smoke Shop shot and killed a robbery suspect earlier tonight. It happened just outside State Line Idaho around 8 p.m. When authorities arrived on the scene...

For those of you in the Sandpoint-Coeur d'Alene area, this may be of interest. IDFG is looking at upgrading the range at Farragut State Park. There is a thread going here: http://bayview-idaho.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=261#261 It's loaded mostly by a couple of residents of the Bayview area...

Looks like I'm finally going to get a new rifle for longer range target shooting and elk/deer hunting. I just won an auction over on gunbroker.com for a Coyote in 7WSM. I'll probably glass bed it pretty soon, but will eventually drop it in a synthetic stock. Planning on the B&C Medalist stock...

I did some searching and could not come up with an answer to this. Any ideas why Remington dropped the Sendero from the lineup, or why they don't have any big game calibers (with the exception of .308 in a couple of packages), in a heavy barrel M700. I understand that you can get .300WM in the...

I'm looking for some recommendations. I am looking at purchasing a new rifle for longer range target shooting (500-1000 yards, non-competition, just want to know what I can do), and also for hunting. I am thinking about one of the new short mags, either 7mm WSM/SAUM or 300WSM. My goal is to have...

http://foxnews.com/story/0,2933,61008,00.html Call it the revenge of the tweezer people. The backlash against senseless -- and useless -- airport security rules is building up into something nasty. How nasty? Enough that some people are leading airport revolts against dumb security delays...

http://foxnews.com/story/0,2933,58781,00.html Washington — One day after Ohio Rep. James Traficant was expelled from the House for ethics violations, similar trouble possibly awaits Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J. Torricelli spent several hours Thursday behind closed doors with the ethics...

I'm re-reading Unintended Consequences again, for about the 4th time. (Got to read Atlas Shrugged again one of these days!). Does anyone here own or has anyone shot a Solothurn? Sounds like a great time! Bri

I just picked up a new dog at the humane society this afternoon. He's about a year old, and is a black and tan Husky mix. Seems to have a great personality and gets along well with my other dog. OK, so I'm looking for ideas for names, with some type of firearm theme. Kinda strange I know...

I'm a newbe here, this is probably pretty obvious to you guys with some experience. I have just started loading for the .45 acp, and have had major feeding problems with my first batch of reloads. Upon closer examination, I noticed that some the failing rounds exhibit slight tipping of the...

Just picked her up today! I haven't had time to shoot yet, but got to practice field stripping, lubed the rails with Tetra Grease and wiped out the barrel. First impressions, very nice finish, no sharp edges, the carry bevel does it's stuff. Crisp trigger. Nice slide-to-frame fit, none of...

Most asinine thing done by the Feds? There have been various accounts floating around for a number of years about some outragious actions on the part of various federal agencies. The ATF certainly comes to mind, for any number of cases. Can anyone accurately relate the case where the pregnant...

I am a Community First Responder in our local EMS system. For those that are not familiar with the term CFR is based on a training protocall below that of a EMT basic. We are in a rural community, and as the name implies are typically the first on scene. I also have a concealed carry permit...

There's something I'm still trying to figure out with regard to the bliss-ninnies reaction to the proposal to allow the pilots of airliners to be armed. It is my understanding that federal employes in many agencies, not just law enforcement, are allowed to carry, anywhere in the country...

As far as I know, Vermont is the only state in the nation that allows, on a general basis, concealed carry without a permit. In Idaho, concealed carry w/o a permit is fine outside of a city limit, mining or logging camp, or vehicle on a public highway. What are the chances of getting "Vermont...
