    .308 Stevens 334 ongoing thoughts and review.

    Got to the range today. I shot 2, 1 inch groups out the box. My buddy also shot a 1 inch group, however my other buddy could not stand the scope I had attached and shoot a little wider group (the scope did not sit far enough back for his eye relief and so he was shooting from a very awkward...

    .308 Stevens 334 ongoing thoughts and review.

    Just figured I would post my thoughts and experiences with my new back up rifle. I grabbed a cheap sling and 4x scope on Amazon with some Christmas gift cards for a full build under $400. Out of the box, the weight seems nice and it feels good to have a good old wood checkered grip. The trigger...

    Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

    UPDATE Well, I had thought this was gonna be a shopping search into the new year, and I am thankful for the advice and opinions I got so quickly (I'll keep them in mind if it turns out I made a bad call lol), but Fleet Farm made my choice. Notification went off on my phone this morning that...

    Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

    You're not wrong, but that extra $250 also would put me in the range I could find ok semi auto's too. I have frankly been shocked how much the price gap between bolt/lever guns and semis has shrunk while I have been shopping on this lol.

    I would prefer not to go single, but I won't completely throw the idea out.

    Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

    I am looking to get a .308 bolt action as a back up to the G3 knockoff I'm using as my main deer gun currently. Figure then I can give great grandpa's Montgomery Ward 30-30 lever action to one of my nephews to get it in the hands of a 5th generation and my deer rifles can share ammo then. I'm...

    Any ice yet?

    Got ice on the lake where I'm at in Minnesota, but nothing I would walk on yet.

    Best whitetail state

    You looking for meat or a rack? Michigan always seems to have the big bucks, but central Minnesota will have farmers begging you to hunt in their field filling 3 antlerless tags.

    Wild vs planted pheasants, wow....

    Given the choice between the 2, definitely prefer wild birds. Although, my family always started the season going to a place that raised birds. It was more fun than shooting clays to get your aim back from the off season.

    How to trap a skunk?

    A few Tomcat poison traps took care of the skunk that moved into the wreckage of our old hunting shack.

    Lever Guns, what would you choose & why?

    My first rifle was a 30-30 Western Field lever action. I have recently gravitated to 308 semi autos. I would take either in a lever gun and leave it up to whether you prefer a box magazine (Winchester 308) or a magazine tube (Marlin 30-30). I would also consider a 357 lever action if you are...

    .308 users, what’s your go to hunting load?

    My C308 Sporter seems to love AAC Sabre Blade Black Tip 150 grain. Groups are tight, now I just need to see a deer to see effect.

    Leaving deer where they lay

    Only time we ever left a deer laying more than a few hours was because we simply could not find it. Dad shot it in the last minutes of daylight and we could not find that thing after an hour of searching. Old man found it immediately the next day. Night was cold enough it didn't rot and the...
