45-70 Henry Model X VS. Marlin 1895 SBL
I bought the Marlin GBL, I would make the same choice again! -
So which caliber, in what rifle ? The 6.5 Creed, the 6.5x55 Swede, or the .257 Roberts
I would pick either the Swede or the Roberts, probably the AI version of the latter. -

Help, I need a new pronghorn rifle! (Update)
A little update, the Ruger is going to be a shooter and a keeper I think. Thanks to all of you who responded! It’s been an interesting thread 😁 -
Anyone Use a Savage 99?
I killed my first deer with my dad’s 1907 vintage 99B in .30/30 over 50 years ago. It was stolen a couple of years later in a burglary. I found it sitting in a pawn shop the following year and dad got it back. It’s sitting in my safe right now and will go to my grandson. The 99 was the only gun... -
building or having a rifle built
In my humble opinion, the Springfield begs to be a .35 Whelen, the only other option for me would be a .308 Norma Magnum. Both were very common conversions back when the surplus actions were commonly used for custom rifles. The 98 I would consider the 7x57, .257 Roberts, the .300 Savage or... -

Wyoming pronghorn unit options
I’m afraid I don’t have much information for you but the Wyoming game and fish website has a “plan your hunt” feature and from there you can find pretty much everything you need to know. Drawing odds and access information are all there. I will say that if I were adamant about taking my son... -

Food debate: jerky dryness edition
It’s pretty big in East Africa too, when I hunted Tanzania we were far from the nearest village so the camp staff got all the meat that wasn’t eaten by the hunters. There was biltong hanging all over camp. I liked it pretty well and have thought about making some myself. After it was dried to...- BobT1105

As they lay
An old buck I killed several years ago, I shot him in the center of the chest as he faced me about 60 yards away, he ran about 30 yards over the hill and this is exactly how I found him. He took his final breath as I walked up.- BobT1105

Old truck appreciation (and high mileage)
I would have it thoroughly checked out by a dealer first. Especially if you don’t have the maintenance records and double that if you don’t know the previous owner(s). I drove my 2013 F150 with 110,000 miles to Idaho for a spring bear hunt and ended up borrowing a jeep and leaving my truck at...- BobT1105
