Back in 1976, I owned a rigid frame custom chopper with Kawasaki Z1-900 engine. It was fast and fun for straight line riding but a real bear for twisty roads due to the front end rake and long springer front end. The gas tank was raked same as yours and I had to fill up every 75 miles or so. Eventua...

My career as a Construction Project Manager took a nose dive during this on going recession. So we decided to spend precious savings on CDL truck driving training.

I booked a moose and caribou hunt in Saskatchewan, Canada back in the 1980's and my guide was a Cree Indian who knew the game and terrain quite well. I hunted with my Savage 99 in .308 shooting 180 grain core-lokt ammo. The caribou was downed at approx 150 yards with one shot through the chest. My b...

I'm not sure about the recoil factor but Magna Port of Michigan cuts little slots near the muzzle that eliminate muzzle jump. This is how I tamed my .308 rifle.

My 71 was sold in 1977 because of the heavy recoil and scarce pricy ammo. I bought a Marlin in 35 Remington. This rifle is accurate with it's 2-7X scope and until recently, ammo has not been an issue. The middle bores have never been as popular as other hunting cartridges but they're deadly within r...

I have a Winchester model 670 from the early 1970's. It feeds the same as Remington 700 and has no claw extractor either. Started out as a 30-06 but I had it changed to 35 Whelen Ackley Improved with 24 inch barrel featuring Magna Port slots near the muzzle. It's a good reliable shooter and recoil i...

Henry is certainly busy these days and I'm glad for their successes in the market place. This latest venture will succeed or fail based upon sales numbers, too. But I can't see much of a market for a rifle that appears to be lesser compared to the time proven BLR. Where we hunt in Mifflin County, sh...

The Lancaster County Museum here in Pennsylvania contains several old flintlock rifles built and rifled locally in the 1700's. At the time, gun making was a common industry within the county. Some apprentice rifle makers headed west to form their own businesses. These rifle designs eventually came t...

I'm a huge fan of the Yamaha Royal Star. It features a big V-4 liquid cooled engine that is smooth and powerful. Exhaust notes sound like a mean growl. Riding position is very comfortable.

PRVI Partizan soft tip ammo is made in Serbia and is commonly sold at discounted pricing. I bought a box of 30-30 150 grain ammo recently at a gun show try out.

I've hunted bison and Asian buffalo with this custom rifle. Both were one shot kills using factory ammo.

I shot this 100 yard group yesterday with my older Glenfield model 30GT. I'm sighted approximately 2.5 inches higher than point of aim. This is my zero for all deer hunting east and west.

I fired this 3 shot group at 100 yards and am amazed by the accuracy of this Hornady ammo. The rifle is a RUGER 96 with 1-20 twist rate and the scope is Bushnell featuring 1.5 - 4.5X.

My nephew bought the Davidson's short barrel model a few years ago. It typically shoots 150 grain Power Point bullets into a 2 inch group at 100 yards. No problems with jamming or anything else.

In my opinion, the 375 has no significant advantage over your 35 Remington. But if you're a collector, this could be a nice addition to the vault.

I found the constant use of the "F word" to be vulgar and offensive to me and my wife. Yes, I know that this is the way that many soldiers talk but it's still vulgar to me. The movie would've been much better without all the foul language and cursing in my opinion.

Many years ago, I was stationed in Michigan with USAF. My hunting buddy had a TC Contender chambered for a wildcat named 357 Herrett.

For my deer hunting it's a toss up between 44MAG Ruger carbine or 30-30 carbine. Both are excellent tools for the job where we hunt. Shots rarely exceed 75 yards or so.
