    WTS LEFTY SPECIAL Ruger M77 Hawkeye 7mm RM & CZ 527 LUX .223 Rem

    Selling for my dad as he is getting older and has told me he is going to slow down on hunting. Unfortunately he slowed down years ago. This sounds like a cruel joke but he had a work accident that resulted in the loss of his trigger finger on his left hand. He tried the middle finger for a few...

    Help! Stuck Dove Tail Sight

    Need some advise. I am trying to install a rear iron sight on a old 22 WMR that I'm trying to sell. I got it about 1/3 in and it has stopped. I've tried pushing it back out the other way with no luck. Suggestions?

    Partial Powder Cans

    What does everyone do with your partial left over cans of powder? Specifically powder that 1) You can't get anymore or 2) you will never use again. Currently I have a third to half a pound of RL 22 that I have zero use for. I used it in my 7 mag when I was shooting 162 ELD-X's. Well I ran out...

    Hunting/Outdoors Mentor Misses

    I am in the process of planning out a new load for one of my rifles and it caused me to think about how I was taught to shoot and the ammo we would use growing up. I am very particular about my ammunition these days. In fact it's just as much of a hobby as shooting is. I've started down the...

    N-Frame 329PD Air light (44 Mag) vs Gen 4 Glock 20 (10mm)

    There is another popular thread about 44 mags right now but I really need the nitty gritty on the air light smiths. I have a gen 4 glock 20 right now that I carry in the woods with me. This is my 2nd glock 10 mm. I got the 23sf in 2020 and sold it a year later when I found the 20. If i am...

    Hunting Medium This Fall (Hunting Hard Pending)

    Well this is the year that I'm sure I'll draw LE tags. Never thought I would hope not to draw tags but at the ripe old age of 28 this guy gets to have hip surgery in the next month or so. Going to be down until mid October if I'm able to have the surgery in May. I feel bummed about it but at...

    New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

    I found a nice little white tail spot last year. The only thing is it's shotgun/archery only. I don't want to start carrying my bow in my truck during rifle season but another shotgun is no big deal. I have not spent any real time hunting with a shotgun for deer before. I do have a Rem 870...

    I have been building my lightweight back packing rifle for about 2 years now. I am onto my third stock and second bipod (looking for a third). I am wanting to steal my 20 MOA Pic rail and rings off of this rifle to put on another build. So I am looking for some lightweight one piece rings and...

    45-70 Henry Model X VS. Marlin 1895 SBL

    Okay I have seen a few posts like this but I just need some input on these specific models. I am ready to pull the trigger on buying a 45-70 lever gun. For 10 years I wanted the Henry All Weather in 45-70. I like the look of it and I liked it being cerakoted I actually went to buy one last...

    Moisture In Primers? Failure to Ignite

    So I've had about a dozen Primers fail to ignite out of the last 100 rounds I've loaded. I have tried three different boxes and two different guns and still have the issue. I think moisture may have gotten into my Primers. Anyone had any luck drying them or do I have a pile of Primers with...

    .308 Shorty Load Development/Data

    I will start with that I am a Bergara fan boy. I have had 5 Bergara rifles and all but one so far has been an awesome gun. The one I had issues with was a MG Micro Lite in 6.5 PRC 18" barrel. That was a dumb and expensive mistake. I had lots of issues with it and Bergara and I came to an...

    Trouble Chambering Rounds/Brass 6.5 PRC

    I am having issues with some 6.5 PRC loads. I'll start with the fact that factory loads have no issues cycling and it's a very smooth action. My reloads however are not so smooth. Out of 35 rounds I made about 2/5 are not able to chamber. I have practically no movement when I go to push the bolt...

    WTS Bergara MG Micro Lite 6.5 PRC $3000

    Looking to sell my 6.5 PRC. It's a cool little gun that's lightweight. I thought I would really like the small stock on it and I was really excited for a smaller platform but it just doesn't really fit me right. The gun retails for $3150 and I'm asking for $3000 I'm selling just the rifle. The...

    Hot Feet! On The Hunt For New Boots

    Well I think it's time for new boots. I'm currently prepping for sheep hunting this fall and went on about a 7 mile shed hunt today. The Kenetrek mountain extremes that I've been running for about 3.5 years just aren't cutting it. I have not liked these boots since I got them. After today though...
