Recently "aorelup" and "cover dog" both reported that they had muzzle damage to their 12BGTVS Savage rifles. I have two Savage 12 rifles (VLP and LRPV) and both have stainless steel barrels. On both rifles the muzzle appears to have been "dinged" at the factory either m...

Nice shooting....offhand at 235 yards is tough shooting with the wind thats always present.
Back straps for all... and thanks for posting the pictures and story.

Cracker...What animal is the NEW caliber going to be used for? I know you live in southern Wisconsin and they are talking about opening up elk hunting for those lucky enough to draw a tag (if they have a lottery). If thats what you want the new caliber for remember, this is not long range shooting b...

Primers are showing up here in Illinois; Federal 205's and CCI's and I just got 5,000 Federal 205M's delivered, but with the hazmat and shipping they cost me $206.00. That works out to $41.20 a 1,000. Still less than what some scalpers are getting. But the good news is powders and primers are starti...

Dont you just love comments like "what do you do with them after you shoot them"? Or "how could you kill them, they are soooo cute and cudley". They just dont get it, so I gave up wearing my "Happiness is a hudge gutpile" tee shirt. And my "no sense running, you'll...

Maybe a N.I.R.F.S (Northern Illinois Raptor Feeding Society) franchise too? Name sounds catchy.

Bullets are already sold.....sorry.

It all depends on the type of shooting you will be doing. Regarding buying a "walk about" rifle (lighter in weight) vs a "Shooting Bench" type of rifle (heavier) that will be sending many more shots downrange. IMHO if the majority of your shooting is going to be for groundhogs th...

Hey Cracker....Turn the rifle sideways 90 degrees and you'll be right in the middle.

Congratulations SILVER FOX.....You may want to put some camoflage paint on that mug while out calling yotes.

I have 8 factory sealed boxes all same lot # of 35gr Berger Match Grade hollow point Varmint .204 bullets for sale. They sell from $21 - $23 per box of 100. I over bought and after I sell these I still have enough to last me for a while. These bullets have displayed accuracy in the middle .1's to lo...

First of all many thanks to Cracker who went thru the time and expense to run the shoot. Cracker...I hope we can meet someday and I can buy your lunch. I won by accident as I shot the wrong target first and still have not shot my practice target. I was telling Silverfox about a reduced size prairie ...

Congratulations Danny, ....Has she told you yet that "Whats hers is hers and whats yours is hers too? She's a keeper.

I own a T/C Encore (stainless) and I bought a new T/C stainless .204 Ruger Barrel 26" 1-12" twist heavy weight for it a while back. The first 20 rounds I shot, copper stuck to the inside of the bore like flys stick to fly paper. After removing all the copper and getting the inside of the b...

Congratulations on taking a fine looking animal. I have an Encore also in .204 that wont stabilize the Hornady 40gr. bullet. I guess I will have to try your 40 gr. Berger load that youre using to see if it will stabilize for me. Im surprized that the bullet did not exit? Do you think it hit the oppo...
