Win Model 70 load aggravation

Bullet question- I have an aggravating Win Model 70 Extreme Weather SS 243 and a stack of factory loads for it. Bought it for my son several years ago, (his first big game rifle) with the intent of buying off the shelf ammo. It’s a 243 - how hard can it be- well- my lever actions shoot tighter group...

They are the best. Depends on each persons situation and circumstances to decide. The lessons/legal advise on the site is extensive and well worth the cost.

This guy was one of the players we saw just before packing up (over 400 yards away so it may be a little fuzzy)
I swear he was yelling Alan..alan..alan..

Re: ground squirre;ls

Had great weather and a fun shoot on some east side private property last weekend. Plenty of carnage and no shortage of targets. Still quite a bit of standing water in areas. We took 22LRs, 17HMRs & 22mags for short range work and my son raised havoc with the 204 at 200 yds out. Plenty of Rock c...

Left Hand Browning 204?

I have been searching for a Left Hand Browning Hunter 204 Ruger for my wife and haven't found diddly. Anyone know if Browning ever built one? Their web site is obnoxious. Closest thing I found is a reference to one of their "Limited Distribution Firearms" A-Bolt Medallion in 223 Rem. 22-25...

Re: Do you think a 22 rimfire is a handicap with a good shoo

Ditto to Rick in Oregon. Just got back on the 22LR kick after looking into the Appleseed Project. Here I am extolling the merits of another gun to my wife and the 22 rears up as a go-to gun again...not sure how many 22's I have but now I NEED several more.. different ones..gotta have a back up.

Re: Looking for Browning A bolt in .204

Browning A-Bolt Hunter is a nice little gun. Shoots bug holes. I've got one..errr 'had' ( still in -MY- vault :chin: ) one till I let on that my son could use it.. Now I have to pull rank or offer to check its sight-in if I want to shoot it. Gave up looking for a second one. They are out there but s...

Changing restrictions on firearm noise suppressors

Just learned the silencer bill passed here in Washington. Now (or in 90 days) I can pop off rounds from the chicken coop with out bothering the layers or stampeding the horses out of the pasture.. coyotes have been traipsing thru the end of the pasture unmolested... Wonder how they effect accuracy? ...

Re: question about warm barrels and groups

Good post! Been pondering :chin: (read - scheming how to sell the idea to my wife) one of those fancy Carbon Composite barrels from ABS and wonder what your thoughts are..or if any have used them with a degree of success. Besides the fact it would cost an arm an leg. If they are as good as they say,...

Remington Model 700 Safety Issues-Now what? FYI

Can't say I have ever had these issues with mine. But for what its worth if there is any credence to this would like others to know about it. Went to the Remington site and didn't find any press release that mentioned it. Maybe CNBC just bashing firearms again or ? Remington Under Fire: A CNBC Inves...

Re: SUCCESS! .204 ruger on a deer. [pictures]

Glad you recovered it. Once your older you will understand. It wasn't if it could be done. Its if it should be done. Eskimos reportedly have used 22 mags and 222 to shoot polar bears in the right circumstances. I would pass on that also. Most would agree the 204 and was developed for small thin skin...
