I also give thanks to God that the injury, fatality and property damage was as low as it is because it could have been much worse. Both the Boeing and Spirit plants and a mobile ho...

Due to whats supported in my area the Hornyday and the Rock Chucker systems are the two front runner systems now. Does anyone have any comments on the Lock and Load system, is it really a time saver, how often do you have to reset your dies or make adjustments with it?

Re: Henry Arms 30/30--opinions..?

It depends on what you want to do with the rifle. The heavy weight is not good for carrying through the brush all day and gives the gun more inertia to make it slower to mount and swing but it also reduces recoil and helps steady the aim. In my opionion you cannot go wrong with a Henry. 8) If you ca...
