    44 mag vs 10mm for grizzly

    Ability to accurately place your shot and bullet choice should be prime considerations in any choice. Hard cast seem to be the way to go. 44 is harder to shoot than 10mm but packs more punch. I suspect in most instances the shots would be pretty close so it may not matter that much. 10mm...

    Gimme the Story on Kimber Rifles

    I had similar reservations before I got my first one. They aren't cheap rifles and i was similarly concerned about getting a lemon. Once they came out with the accuracy guarantee I eventually got one. Once I learned to shoot it things went great. I think a lot of people who don't take the...

    Gimme the Story on Kimber Rifles

    My tikka superlite in 7rm was 6lbs 2oz pounds bare, so pretty light. Very slick action and decent trigger. I like my kimbers better, mostly because the montana stock is excellent and so is the factory trigger but the tikka is worth having. I will say that the stock geometry on the tikka...

    Z3 3x9x36 or VX3HD 2.5x8x36

    This is true. It's not perfect and you have to make adjustments but it works pretty well.

    Gimme the Story on Kimber Rifles

    I own two Montana's. The first one was purchased in 2019, had the green stock with threaded muzzle and was chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. The light weight is impressive. I put a vx5 2-10 on it. Which put it at under 7 lbs without sling or ammo. When I first started shooting it my groups...

    Z3 3x9x36 or VX3HD 2.5x8x36

    I own both of these scopes. the Z3 is on a browning Abolt medallion in 30-06 and the VX3 is on a Savage weather warrior in 308. the z3 has better glass. It compares favorably to my Leica ER5 and the various VX5 Leupold scopes that I have. That being said it really depends on what you want to...

    WTS: Kowa 884 w/ 25-60 Eyepiece

    I have one of these with the angled eyepiece. It's a superb scope. As good as a swarovski, leica or zeiss. This is a good deal. Just saying for those considering it.

    Side-by-Side Shotguns

    I didn't say fragile. Out of curiosity what load are you using? I'm assuming bismuth.

    Side-by-Side Shotguns

    I'm curious about the longevity as well. I bought my bobwhite to use as I suspect most cz owners do as well. Good or bad weather it goes out. Finer guns are often left in the cabinet so that may contribute to their longevity. I've shot my bobwhite quite a bit and it seems to be doing just...

    Shout out to Leupold.

    I lost the windage dial cover for my vx5. Have no idea where it went They are just sending me a new one. They are a solid company. That's why I have like 10 of their scopes.

    300 win mag vs 300prc vs 30 nosler vs 300 RUM

    I'm not sure an elk would know the difference between any of those. They are all good performers. I would go 300 win mag simply based on cost.

    What makes one a "good shot?"

    Prior to the season starting I was at the range. There were others as well that day and I noticed an older gentleman with his adult son sighting rifles in. That really wasn't unusual but I noticed that he had some pretty nice rifles racked up. I could see in my spotting scope that things...

    im ebarrased to be a hunter in montana(RANT)

    I hunted montana this year and took a nice muley. While out there we got contacted by the game department. He checked our licenses and the one deer we had gotten at that point. No violations and a pleasant contact. Guy was pretty mellow. I didn't see any noticeable violations by other...

    A new low recoil deer rifle

    I've had good luck with the 243 and 7.62x39 for low recoil. I'd like to try the 223 with my 62 gr barnes loads but it's not legal in my state.

    Favorite Elk Calibers

    I've always enjoyed sitting around the campfire during hunting season talking about rifles and cartridges and their merits. I think the reality is that most hunting cartridges suitable for deer will work just fine on elk with the right bullet within reasonable ranges. IMO there are a lot of...
