Nice shootin Racr350.
Looks like you have a nice long range target set up there at your grandparents.
And that's a trophy squirrel for sure. You can tell he is an old one that needed to be culled from the herd.

Very nice skippy carnage!
Not a bad way to spend a wednesday.

I'm definately kicking myself for not stocking up more when there was more of the big rifle stuff around. Seemed like the varmint calibers powder and primers went first, then everything else. Somebody must be buying more than their fair share. Come on now...who is it? If stores can't stock there she...

Awesome write-up!
I love the pic of the boys holdin it by the hands. Too cool.

Nice shootin song dog. It's always a challenge to get more than one when by yourself, but one in the hand... Purty lookin dog too. I'm pretty much done with yotes for the year, but I saw a couple just outside of town the other day. They were lookin pretty shaggy with the warm weather we've been havi...

I'm hoping to buy a new rifle with my tax return (wife wants a new kitchen table...but we'll see). I am most likely going to buy something new off the shelf, but have been keeping my eye out for used stuff also. Only problem is, with my limited knowledge of guns and actions, how do I know the value/...

There is an interesting video on www.federalpremium.com that shows them comparing 4 factory rounds shot from a 30-06 (go to resources, then click videos). They compare the sierra game king, nosler ballistic tip, trophy bonded tip, and the barnes tsx all in 165 grain. They shoot one each into gel, th...

Rick and Guy- So how would you guys choose bullet weights for different calibers using tsx bullets? For instance, in a 270, would you use 130 over 150 even though 150's are fairly flat shooting? Or 150 vs. 180 in 30-06? In other words, do you always choose light for caliber bullets when using tsx? N...

As long as you know you're range limits you'll be fine, but I would definately go with the 165 grain over the 150. However, I would probably choose a 180 grain over both. Trajectory will be similar enough to the 165 and it will give the best penetration which is what you want when elk is your game. ...

Rick, thanks for posting that link. To say that was "a good read" is a mighty big understatement. Especially in these times, it makes you feel very good about our country. Hopefully they'll put the movie on dvd someday (don't have hbo).

Love that. I'm gonna have to start using it!

10 deer bag limit. Can you even imagine that down here these days. Would be sweet for a season, but it would be the last season...ever. :roll: Thanks for posting the pic of the model 70 Rick. That is one sweet looking .270. I had a buddy bring a ruger 243 stainless w/ a silver scop on it coyote hunt...

Sweet rig Verm.
I like the caliber. Seems like the 280 improved is really getting more popular and for good reason. Don't wait to long to shed some blood with it.

I definately knew that it wasn't gonna be a bench gun so to speak. I don't need incredible accuracy out of it, just decent. I am having second thoughts after I realized it doesn't have sling swivels, but I'm sure I can find a way to get a sling on it. I will, however, not be happy if it jams all the...

A friend of mine is selling a bunch a stuff trying to pay down some bills and told me to come look at some shotguns he had. I need a better shotgun for turkeys, so off I went. I didn't really like what he had, but he also wanted to get rid of this remington model six. http://i129.photobucket.com/alb...
