Those .257 Wby targets were long ago in my mis-spent youth. About the same time we had to use a 4' cheater bar to open the bolt on the same Weatherby with heavier loads. I survived, and so did the rifle, but sorry, no photos of any of it back then... Seriously though - a fragile bullet - like many &...

Classic .22's
I know there's got to be some guys using older, classic .22 match rifles. I still practice with, and occasionally hunt with, this old Winchester 52-B, complete with the equally classic 20x Lyman target scope. Dad & Grandpa used it in competition, it's been in our family 50+ years and is still mi...

I'll second that point about bullet placement. You can kill game with any number of different cartridges and bullets, as long as you hit your quarry well. Am a big fan of the 7mm Rem mag. I've had bigger, badder rifles, but the 7mm Rem mag with 175's or 160's will dump an elk just fine. I find the 7...

I've used USO and Leupold illuminated reticle scopes. Often in fading light, conditions are such that the animal can still be seen, at least silhouetted, but standard crosshairs fade out and can't be seen. An illuminated reticle takes care of that. Very important that the reticle can be illuminated ...

Both of those Rugers are great! I remember when the Number One rifles often came with really nice walnut like that. Somewhere along the line I got silly and sold my two Ruger single shots, a .25-06 varminter and a .300 Win mag. Both were good guns, the .25-06 was really very accurate! Thanks for sho...

Howdy All. Young Sniper2o4 makes me feel real old, and also proud that there are young men who work hard. I'm a 50 year old former Marine, who likes to shoot, hunt, fish and roam the great outdoors, by foot, bicycle or canoe. http://www.hunt101.com/img/334310.jpg A Washington mulie, taken 2005, with...
