Anybody else Hunt with Browning Safari Grade Rifles ?
Yes, I have a ‘73 Safari in .270. Great rifle and no salt problems! Some folks may think that I typed “salt” by mistake for some reason, but a little research on Browning Safari rifles will reveal the history.- SticksMcKinley

What to do with 6mmRem??
I'd check the barrel twist and do some more shooting with it, maybe try some different ammo. Might be a bad barrel, but I have a Parker-Hale in 6mm Rem that is a really good shooter. I think there were 1:12 and 1:10 twists, but I don't remember for certain. If all else fails, I'd be glad to send...- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I don’t if it’s been said yet, but the post about clothing in the same case as the rifle reminded me that I like to put my rifle in a soft case inside the hard case so that when I get to my destination, I don’t have to lug the big Storm case around. Like others, I also like to remove my bolt and...- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I think the carrier is more important than the airport. I’ve always checked firearms with SWA and had no trouble, but I’ve heard of trouble with others. If you get into a pinch with one, just ask for the TSA supervisor to help out. Be polite, don’t say any more than necessary and all that stuff...- SticksMcKinley

Camping info Input (Wyo)
I don't know about fuel stops, but if you have time, you might like to take your son to the Tate Geological Museum in Casper. They have a great dinosaur exhibit.- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
Absolutely - my love for a good revolver is unabashed. I've got a 3" Model 629 that is great for the same task. My suggestions was to get training first and not rely on "point and shoot".- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
Nothing whatsoever to do with the equipment. I love a good revolver. It’s the “point and shoot” part that bothered me. It’s just as easy to miss with a revolver as it is a semi-auto. I urge training first and foremost.- SticksMcKinley

Handgun suggestions for first one
With over 20 years experience in firearms training and instruction, I urge you to find a professional firearms instructor first before buying anything. I'm assuming that you're in WY by your username and I have no idea where to direct you, but a call the Gunsite Academy in AZ may lead you to a...- SticksMcKinley

How do you aim?
Everything should be “in focus” in a properly set up scope, but focus your eye solidly on the reticle else it will shift in between points between you and the target.- SticksMcKinley

New toy - mounting question
No - you’ll get used to it in the sight picture and will be so small as not to be an intrusion. Personally, I’d leave the rear set installed, sight it in with the irons and then mount a scope with QD rings to have a versatile and reliable setup.- SticksMcKinley

Rifle for hunting with a suppressor
In my experience, lightweight barrels and suppressors do not go hand in hand very well....especially without carbon wrapping. They heat up quickly and can lead to frustrating range sessions. The RifleKuhl device by MagnetoSpeed is helpful in this regard. That said, I have a T3 Lite in .308 that...- SticksMcKinley

Do Remington rifles deserve a premium now?
The only new rifle I would buy right now is one for which I have a bountiful supply of cartridges and components at home. No sense joining the mighty gaggle of scavengers lining up outside the gun store for slim pickins’.- SticksMcKinley
