    Rattlesnake questions?

    On a spring tukey hunt this weekend, I came about 6 inches from stepping on a four foot diamond back. At the time I was carrying my heavy barreled 22-250, with a high 6x18 scope. It occured to me at the moment of the encounter that this was not the best tool for the job of dispatching a snake...

    Just a little brag

    I bought myself a Rem 700 BDL 22-250 for Christmas. She's got the aluminum bedded synthetic stock, custom varmint barrel, custom trigger, and a 6x18 Burris scope. I thought it was a pretty good deal @ $600. I'd only taken her to the range once to sight her in just before the end of deer/turkey...

    Muzzle Break ? New Stock ?

    I've got a Mossberg 1500 7mm Mag that I've just never been able to shoot right. It Kicks the snot out of me. It's a very light rifle, and tends to jump more than any other rifle I've shot. She's bumped me across the bridge of the nose several times. The gun has some sentimental value, so I'd...

    22 Caliber Centerfire ?

    I'm wondering if anyone can give me a "Cliff Notes" summary of a couple of 22 caliber Centerfire cartriges. I'd like to get a light centerfire rifle to be primarily used for turkey and varmints (racoons mostly). For this rifle, I'll be going with a good solid bolt action, probably a Rem 700...

    Carter's Country in Houston TX.

    My huntin' buddy & I spent this past Sunday at Carter's just north of Houston. What a blast! We hadn't been since last year before deer season (on that trip, my buddy bought a brand new Winchester Mdl 70, in 7mm Mag, with a Leaupold 3x9 -nice rig, and as he's lining up for his first shot, an...

    .45 ACP for Deer?

    I usually carry a SIG P220 with me while deer hunting, in addition to a .270 rifle. I am wondering if it would be ethical to use the .45 on shots under 25 yards? Any suggestions on ammo would also be appreciated. I hunt in the Texas Hill Country, so the deer *may* run up to 150 lbs. Any big...

    Gun Control...."for the soundness of our democracy"!!!!

    In the Rose Garden Tuesday, President Clinton again evoked the memory of the 15 deaths at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, in an appeal to Congress. ``Once again, the gun lobby is resisting with all its might,'' Clinton said. ''Once again, we're battling not just for the safety of...
