    Sling as a shooting aid?

    Have you used the sling as a shooting aid while hunting game, large or small? Which sling do you prefer, and why? Normally I try to find or make a rifle rest, often it's my backpack, sometimes it's a handy log or branch or even a rock. I've also used bipods and shooting sticks. But the good...

    Talk me out of a 30-06

    I have not tried Superformance in my 30-06, but have happily used it in the 6mm Creedmoor where it performed very well. For the 30-06, I'm still using H4350, with good accuracy, and it boots the 165's out at about 2940 fps, from my 24" Remington rifle. Some folks still seem to think that the...

    WA high buck hunts?

    Grolar bears-increasing? Begin debate

    Darned if I know. Waiting for the science on this one. Grizzlies are awesome, have seen a few. Shot one. Polar bears are something I've never seen. Was tempted to hunt them, just because it would be an amazing adventure. Waiting for more info. I understand that there are some folks...

    To buy a tag or not buy a tag, that is the question??

    New car- To AWD or not to AWD

    We've been in snow country for the past 25 years. All wheel drive & four-wheel drive sure make it easier to get around when conditions are bad. Still need good tires, and of course a good driver is the best way to winter safety. Most of the vehicles my wife and I and our sons have had over...

    7mm Rem Mag & 140 gr Accubonds

    Thanks for all the info guys, appreciated. In the past when I've used a 7mm Rem Mag, I've typically used 160 - 175 gr bullet, and I may do so again, as I have a fair stash of them on hand. However, this time I want to try the 140's. When I've dabbled with 140's in the past, I found them fast...

    In just the last few years my 30-06 has been used to take: elk mule deer black bear pronghorn antelope wolf grizzly It did just fine on all those at ranges from 40 yards to 340 yards. Most of those were taken with the 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2940 fps, from a 24" Remington barrel. I...
