Howa 6mm creedmoor project
Hello everyone, I couldn't pass up the super deal Brownells ran over the Labor Day weekend. $250 for a Howa barrelled action chambered in 6mm creedmoor. I'm thinking about using this as basis for a bit of project to do some DIY experimenting. Try Duracoating the action and barrel Get and... -
Leupold 15x56 BX-5 my thoughts
I bought a pair of Leupold 15x56 BX-5 binos because I couldn't pass up the ridiculous deal on Europtic ($799). After using it in the field a little today I thought I'd share my impressions. First, some background. I have a lot of time behind Swaro 15x56 SLC, a very brief look through Meopta... -
Which handgun as a backup?
Hi All, I'm considering purchasing my first handgun as a backup to carry when I'm hunting. Mainly looking for personal protection while in the field against coyotes (2 and 4 legged), dispatching snakes, maybe hunting the occasional rabbit that sort of thing. I don't own a handgun and have only... -
First semi-custom

Hello, I usually lurk around a forum to get a feel for the surroundings and see if I want to participate. The water seems fine around here so I thought I'd jump in a bit. I've enjoyed shooting in one for or another all my life but have just recently started big game hunting (2 years of Coues... -
Off season practice
I like to shoot year 'round, you know what they say, "practice makes perfect". Thomas Haugland has come up with some great practice exercises and his long range proficiency test. While I really love practicing at 500yds+ (and everything in between) sometimes I only have time to get to the local... -
Rangefinder magnification
All, I'm in the market for a new rangefinder. Use would be for bowhunting (total n00B, trying for the first time this season) and rifle hunting/target out to 1000yds. My question is about magnification. If I was just going to use it for shooting I'd just go with something like a Sig Kilo 2000...
