    Anybody else Hunt with Browning Safari Grade Rifles ?

    Yes, I have a ‘73 Safari in .270. Great rifle and no salt problems! Some folks may think that I typed “salt” by mistake for some reason, but a little research on Browning Safari rifles will reveal the history.

    What to do with 6mmRem??

    I'd check the barrel twist and do some more shooting with it, maybe try some different ammo. Might be a bad barrel, but I have a Parker-Hale in 6mm Rem that is a really good shooter. I think there were 1:12 and 1:10 twists, but I don't remember for certain. If all else fails, I'd be glad to send...

    Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?

    I don’t if it’s been said yet, but the post about clothing in the same case as the rifle reminded me that I like to put my rifle in a soft case inside the hard case so that when I get to my destination, I don’t have to lug the big Storm case around. Like others, I also like to remove my bolt and...

    Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?

    Camping info Input (Wyo)

    I don't know about fuel stops, but if you have time, you might like to take your son to the Tate Geological Museum in Casper. They have a great dinosaur exhibit.

    Handgun suggestions for first one

    Handgun suggestions for first one

    Nothing whatsoever to do with the equipment. I love a good revolver. It’s the “point and shoot” part that bothered me. It’s just as easy to miss with a revolver as it is a semi-auto. I urge training first and foremost.
