Re: Old 22 rifles

I learned to shoot with my Grandfathers Model 33 Remington single shot. Due to family complications, I was not able to Aquire that rifle when Grandad passed away. HOWEVER, I now own two Remington Model 33's and really enjoy shooting them. Another interesting thing about the 33 is just how similar i...

Re: What rifle??

Ruger 77 in 270 or 308. Both guns are identical in set up and ready to go. Otherwise, it will be a Marlin in 35 Rem. All handloaded, of course.

Re: Consensus on 9mm for HD

Scattergun is first line of home defense for me. Otherwise, larger caliber, even if slower moving than the smaller, faster pills generally create larger wound channels. Works for me on wild game and would also on two legged predators.
