Hunters purchased nearly 2,600 wolf licenses Monday, the first day they went on sale in Montana. The sales occurred on the same day U.S. District Judge Mike Molloy of Missoula heard arguments from animal rights and environmental groups seeking to block hunts in Idaho and Montana. Idaho's hunt starte...

I am totaly with blain. Once many years ago I and a friend were in a motorcycle shop. A guy came in and tried to sell the owner a BSA. My buddy interrupted and tried to make a deal. I was embarrassed and walked off. Maybe a month later we went back to the shop. Casey the shop owner gave my buddy a ...

I see one old guy at one of the local gunshops that ALWAYS has the back of his Jeep wagoneer FULL of rifle cases. If he wasn't so darned loony, I'd have to talk with him for a while and fondle 'em. From what I hear, he's retired and just buys guns whenever he finds a good deal.

Sometimes the wood underneath the factory gunk they call a finish is quite nice looking although not walnut. I have seen some stock that were stripped and refinished and looked quite nice. If you are going to shoot some 180 gr loads at max velocity a good recoil pad is never a bad idea. ...if you'r...

Wool is only recyclable as wolf turds. I DO love my Columbia merino wool socks though. Too bad they're so expensive!

Sheep can go extinct now; we have polarfleece and Under Armour! As for hot pursuit, predators only run as long as they're chased, then they circle back. As long as they're in range, they're a target; they have no right to sniff around the stock until they decide to bite. The government has no busine...

Travis Morgan

While I hate sheep, those that want something can pay for it. Since the darned granolas want wolves, how about a $20 tax on PETA, Protectors of Wildlife, ROAR, WWF, and other granola club memberships? Sales of firearms and ammo are taxed extra to pay for wildlife management, and we don't complain. (...

.357 is starting to get the nod more and more. I'd like it more in a handgun if it weren't so dang loud. Out of a levergun, a .357 will do about anything a .30-30 will. Too bad it's harder to find good pointy bullets for it without going into heavyweight range. That said, I own ONE .357 and more .45...

Years ago, my friend Hairy Eye Ball, shot Sierra 50 gr. super explosive out of a Reminggton .22-.250. I do not remember the load but on high humidity days, the bullets would vaporize in flight, with only a few fragments hitting the target, if at all. Those bullets were probably rated for a .223.

Joe,

I understand. Lost my grandad, had to put down my horse, lost some pups.... Life really sucked for a while. When my dog bit my kid, I simply couldn't put him down. The stench of death was getting to be too much for me.

All the other teeth in the elk are not ivory, just plain dentin.

Dunno who told you that, but they're full of it; they're the FRONT canines from when Elk had tusks. It's an evolutionary thing.

For some folks, seemingly, that'd be a real adventure; I think some people are so eager to punch their "man card" that they'd pay to shoot cows at a feedlot. (and still need several rounds.)

Don't use .44 data for a .45 data. Just get another manual. Don't get the Hornady one, though; I think it was written by a monkey; it lists Ruger only loads for general .45 Colt data.

Depends on what bullet they're loaded with. You can sometimes find Winchester .30-30 ammo for $10 on sale.

Definitely; when I feel good, I can shoot about 400 aimed shots at one session. Before my back surgery, it was even worse! That's why I cast bullets.

Irons, though there is a sight available from Midway or Brownells that looks like an OEM Winchester sight that works like a ghost ring. I'd still prefer plain irons, since they're what I've used most, and what I prefer. The ghost ring just doesn't do it for me, and I hate peeps.

The only advantages I see to the .357 are the weight savings on ammo, and the fact that it'll pretty much do the same job as a .30-30 out of a 16" barrel.
