    Your first deer rifle?

    What was your very first deer rifle? Mine was a mossberg 500 410ga with a smooth bore barrel and iron sights. It’s a great grouse gun but not a deer killer. 2 minute of deer isn’t really good for me. My very first rifle was handed down to me from my grandfather, which was a Win 94 in 30WCF...

    Good morning all, Tikka is now offering faster twists is many of their rifles. How do you know if the rifle you are about to buy is one of those fast twists? Tikka/sako seems to not want people contacting them and beretta as normal is a joke.

    I’ve been making the switch to mono metals (personal decision not being forced) for my hunting rigs and have been loading all Barnes. I’ve noticed that a lot of people recommend Hammer Bullets over Barnes or the Hornady CX. Are Hammers really worth the extra cost? Is the performance really...
