    Barnes 62gr 6mm Varmint Grenade Sucess

    Well I found a bit of info about these bullets from this forum so I figured I post how they worked for me. I originally was in need of a lead free option for varmint hunting mostly for foxes. After having some bad results from solid copper rounds I gave these a try and have been extremely...

I had an issue with a buddy’s rifle a 7 mega in a 700 clone action. For those who do not know a 7 mega is made...

    Polaris Ranger/Honda Pioneer what is enough?

    I’ve been searching for a sxs for a little bit and I’m leaning towards a Polaris ranger preferably newer than 2014. Curious what everyone feels is a big enough engine to haul 2 200+ lb dudes and gear/dead animals. 500cc to little?

    Anybody use Hevi X II?

    I’ve used Hevi X in the past and have been extremely impressed with the 3in 4s for large ducks and geese. I however was not impressed with the 3 1/2 cycling in 3 different guns and the double bb had terrible performance. My wife’s 20 gauge is a force to be reckoned with using 3in 4s as well. I’m...
