    Custom 6mm Remington

    I don’t want fast twist. I will use this for varmints and maybe an occasional deer or antelope. It is a modified Remington action with 3 position safety…

    Custom 6mm Remington

    The Kalispell gun show has been slow, but I did find a couple guns worth buying. This is a custom rifle made by Lee Helgeland. It is a 6mm Remington. Lots of good features, nice wood, and metal work…

    Got My Dall Sheep And Saved Thousands

    I shot it when I was kid. All I hunted with was a 25-35 and I shot the griz with it between the eyes.

    Got My Dall Sheep And Saved Thousands

    Got My Dall Sheep And Saved Thousands

    I would put Dall Sheep about number one on my bucket list, but only a few things prevent goint to Alaska to catch that dream. Money and remoteness! I have been fortunate enough to get all the big game species in Montana, including Grizzly and Wolf, but Dall Sheep has been an evasive critter...
