Should I be upset about new insurance requirements? Well, I don't know about anybody else, but I sure as heck would be. Too much information to outside entities is not conducive to protecting ones privacy. Personally, and this is just me, I'd tell the company insurance people to go pound sand. You'...

My employer is now requiring that I send copies of my children's birth certificates to an outside company so that I can prove they are my children. When my children were born I was required to get them an SSN and give that number to the company as proof they were mine before I could add them to my i...

My dad stopped about 3 miles from one of our farms and took these two pics of someone's field. He said there were probably at least 100 mule deer in the field, and he saw a bunch more over about a 20 mile drive. Most of the bucks have shed because he only saw 1 set of antlers out of all the deer. So...

I'm a fan of post reticles, on scoped deer rifles - but find the multiple heavy European post reticles too "busy" & cluttered. I'm happiest with my (non-battery) Trijicon AccuPoint's hollow post reticle: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1056075/ACFFF9F.jpg I love Trijicon stuff, ...

They're only planning on selling the Mini in 2008. I'll bet that changes.

Bitmap

now c'mon guys. You are not going to have any modern American-made guns without some sort of safety. Fact of life. Don't run them down. Support them. Unless you want all your guns to come from overseas. Besides .. that sort of thing just creates job opportunities for people like Nate Kiowa Jones. M...

Bitmap

I thought they had to be transferred anyway, through a FFL. It would be dumb not to, from the seller's point of view, because the BATF would still have them on file if the gun was ever used in a crime. Though I guess that would only happen if the perp left the gun at the scene. You are in CA right?...

Bitmap

Looks like it has a silly tang safety on it. A really big one, too. Funny, they don't want to talk about that in their catalog. They even stuck it on the rimfire version. At least Winchester spared us that the first time around.

Bitmap

I would call XS. The will help you out. I think the front sight without the ramp is the one you want for your rifle, but better be sure and save yourself the return shipping.

As noted above, you will barely see the front sight, if at all, when you are using an IER or LER scope.

Bitmap

I'm sure there is a big demand for this with all those tube magazine .30-06's out there.

Blackhawk, your pic is behind the times as far as TX is concerned.

I seriously envy those boys of yours. I really do. I come from a broken home where I had virtually no male influence, no hunting, very little masculine companionship.

Its the only way we will save hunting for future generations.If each of us took 20 kids that didnt have a chance to go hunting we could save hunting.I have taken 16 so far and I plan on taking many more.I hope your kids get to hunt with their grandkids.Hunting and fishing is something that you can ...

Long post so if you don't care for the details then jump down to the pics. I planned to take my 6 year old to let him get his first deer if possible during the youth post season. My 8 year old decided he would come along and maybe take another turkey or a pig and let his little brother take a deer. ...

I don't believe he was a wild deer. I think it was raised in a pen. Check out this link:

Notice the pic where he's in velvet. There is a tag in his ear.

The problem I've had is trying to fix a scratch in one small area. I can buff out the scratch but the finish on that spot never matches the rest.

Unless it is something really bad I leave it there.

Do stores in Switzerland stock leverguns or do you have to special order them? If you have to order them, where do you do that and what kind of shipping do you have to pay? We have many stores that stock Winchester leverguns. But most of the time it's some kind of Bingo. The biggest Winchester stor...

Bitmap

My thought is that a big, heavy scope like that will make your rifle handle like a 8' long pressure treated 4" x 4". See if a local gun store will let you bring in your rifle and try to temporarily mount a big scope like that on it. They may have a used one that they will let you stick on ...

The problem with the Chinese instructions is the guys from Poland who can't read Chinese or English that they pay to do the translations.

As far as lead goes, look on the bright side. If worse ever comes to worse we can melt down the toys to make bullets.

What is wrong with the .405 Winchester on heavy game is the fact that it is traditionally loaded with 300gr. bullets that are light for the caliber. This applies to really heavy game like elephant, rhino, and cape buffalo. Remember, calibers for heavy African game in the .400 to .416 bore size are u...

Better you than me. I've got a blade for my tractor but I've never used it for snow. When it snows I get a day or two off to play with the kids.
