    Oh Yes the old trusty Browning square back the put the sighting plain above the stock so you didn't have to bring your ead so low to look down the barrel. Don't know for certain if it is true but it was always looked at and you could pick them up and they quickly provided a good shooting...

    Nice Coyote. Hunting them you soon know what they mean about the difficulty of a preditor hunting a preditor! If we hunted coyotes instwad of deer you would see a lot more hunters going home without an animal in the back of their truck. Greg Merriam

    Ruger American Rifle

    Groups of bullets touching each aoth at 200 yards and not shot at a indoor range are difficult tom believe. My self being a 600 yard shoot competitor have seen shots that were fantastic and hard to believe unless you are there to see them. This is a good but semi-common 100 yard group but all of...

    Old pictures of days gone past are always enjoyable for us young-ins to see what happen during the good old days that Dad always talked about. Here are some Muley that fell with the new 30.06 rifles which was the talk of the town after they had been used to shooting the military 12 pound 30-40...

    Ruger American Rifle

    Thank-you I did try to summarize for the ne shooter a good direction. Remember no rifle will be your last riflr, you are always just between buy the last one and the next one. I found that the 300 mags is a step up from the 7mags. The7 is fine for elk and moose and all of north america. The...

    Ruger American Rifle

    A lot of thoughts from a lot of hunters and each correct for their own situation. When Starting hunting think about what you plan to hunt, deer, elk, varmint, Alaska bears, Moose. It probably will be your first but not your last. Like a pair of pants you grow out of them as you hunting knowledge...

    Ruger American Rifle

    I agree on the total North America. Most hunters never get to alaska, and in alaska the rules for rifles change. Even if you aren't hunting griz, you may run into one and you may not be able to select you situation. I hunted brown bear and Caribou on the alaskan Peninsula before Hoof& Mouth...

    Ruger American Rifle

    I use the 110 all the time in 30 cal for coyotes and p-dogs, and even taken antelope and deer but would not recommend them for deer. In a 30.06 or what I use them the most in is my 300 Win Mag because I can take the velocity from 3000 to 3800. The red ballistic tip is easier to find but I have...

    2015 Utah Big Game Draw Results are out

    Thank-you for allowing me to post it. I have such a wealth of information for hunters there is no reason why a american that wants to hunt should ever be tied to hunting only his own state. It is like wearing blinders, not seeing whats around you. My goal is to hunt every state so I have a lot...

    There are really a lot of options. In California much of the drawing/applications and processing has been do by this time and I am not as versed in the availability here in Cali. Where I am strongly versed is many Cali hunters also go out of state because it is difficult to hunt every year in...

    Wyoming mule deer draw

    Wyoming has a lot of untapped opportunities. There are not many places that you can go on one trip and shoot a deer and antelope all on 1 trip. It makes the trip very worth while. I usually hunt antelope by Gillette and deer west of Buffalo on the same trip. I found a outfitter that does...

    5.56 Ban

    Yes, but keep in mind it is one more chink in our gun rights armor. The steel core is the lowest cost plinking and target shooting ammo is where it will hunt and start driving up the price of 223 ammo even more. Then for hunting we have the very needless ban on let bullets, which forces us to...
