    Mountain hunting sidearm

    I have a S&W M69 Combat Magnum with 2.75" barrel in 44 Mag and Glock 40 MOS in 10mm that I alternate depending on the climate/ clothing/ weight restrictions. the Glock is probably honestly the better gun, but the thought of that slide coming out of battery while pressed up against a furry...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    I wasn't hunting when this happened. I was in Fort Lewis Washington during Officer Candidate School. After a long day of patrols in the pines, my platoon had set up a cigar shaped outpost and hunkered down for the night. I had second watch with my buddy Brian from Texas. We had set up a...

    10mm non hard cast bear defense ammo.

    G40 MOS, I use Underwood 220 HC. I think we can all follow Phil Shoemaker's lead here and say that a heavy for caliber non-expanding hard lead bullet is arguably the best anecdotal protection against a bear/cat/sasquatch. The round is accurate enough and is controllable enough to put rounds...

    Custom Martini Rifle has me stumped

    So yes, the Metric nomenclature of .30WCF or 30-30 is in fact 7.62x51R. This was a popular single shot chambering on the Continent along with 5.6x52R (22 Savage Hi Power) and 6.5 x52R (25-35 WCF) for small game such as chamois and roe deer. However it sounds like this rifle's chamber has been...

    Hogs

    Not a monster by any means, but turned into some good sausage! New-to-me 348 Winchester worked like a champ.

    Kansas Public Land FNG

    Howdy. Just came back from an Oklahoma Hog Hunt. Avid Kansas Whitetail and Turkey hunter. Been in the Army for 14 years. Love rucking and running long distances. I am a lever gun fanatic and have a bunch of obscure ones. Have my applications in for DIY Kansas Antelope, Elk, and Nebraska Mulies...

    Running Shoes

    Altras were great for the toe box and minimalist toe to heal drop. but I kept getting hot spots on the balls of my feet. I went to the Brooks Ghost and never looked back. No knee, ankle or hip pain for miles and miles.

    Help me pick a Calibre!

    30-06 is not great at anything, but works for everything. my M70 AWR is not the best Mtn rifle, or plains game rifle, or woods rifle, but it does good enough. I load 165s for Kansas Whitetails and antelope, 178s for Mulies and Elk. With a Leupold 3.5-10HD I am good from 50-400 yards. My M1...

    Dad's Remington 512

    Get a Savage 93R17. they are cheap, homely, and dead nuts accurate for what you need. I wouldn't modify a vintage 512. I also doubt the accurizing measures you suggest would make significant impact at the ranges you mentioned with std velocity 22lr plinking ammo. The way the tube mag is attached...
