RE: Caliber for young shooters?

Lots of good advice. I'd like to second Nomercy's point about the ear protection, though. A young shooter's first impression of a rifle will determine how they feel about it for a long time. The...

RE: tell me about the 45-110?

If you gotta have a Sharps, then nothing else will do. But if you just want an accurate big bore single shot, then get a Ruger No. 1 in .45-70 - with proper loads it will do anything the .45-110 will...

RE: 30-30 question...good for long range?

Okay, .30-30 is great in it's proper place, but what about sights? I don't care if a round will kill a deer at 200 yards or not, if your front sight bead covers half the animal, you've got problems....

RE: Best Caliber for Bear

Don't forget my favorite big game round, the .404 Jeffrey. Still a few Ruger 77's floating around in that caliber. But don't worry, the .375 H&H is plenty...

RE: Paper Puncher

Paper punching is fun. Whatever caliber you choose, you should think about reloading your own ammo. Want to shoot that .240 Weatherby? After you buy the first batch of ammo or cases, it'll be as...

RE: Winchester Model 670: To Buy Or Not?

The Winchester 670 was an economy grade rifle that had a good reputation for accuracy (sort of like Remington's 788). The price sounds good, except for the painted stock (?). I would check the gun...

RE: .444 marlin??

Yeah, I dig cannons too. Love the new Marlins, but don't forget The Winchester 1895 in .405 Win. Expensive, but has that cool Teddy Roosevelt vibe. Or even a Browning reissue of the Win. 1886 in...

RE: Going Boar hunting w/410 Help!

First choice: Borrow a rifle, .30-30 or bigger.
Second choice: Use .410 slugs and have someone with a rifle backing you up. A big hog can hurt you. Never hurts to have a climbable tree close. Good...

RE: Remington ammo

Hmmmm. I've shot hundreds of rounds of Remington rifle ammo in several differet calibers over the years. Never had a misfire with it, or any other brand. Sounds strange to me.

RE: 223 vs 7.62x39

Oh, yeah. I agree with Frizzellr on the 7.62X39 also. Less power than a .30-30. Hold a .223 or 7.62X39 up next to the usual deer calibers and see how wimpy they look. Again, use enough gun for the...

RE: 223 vs 7.62x39

RE: 257 Roberts ?

Never had a .257 Roberts, but Jack O'Conner loved the caliber. Flat shooting, light recoil. Buy it! The kind of rifle that makes better shooters of us all.

RE: Rem 788 info needed

The 788 is a "poor man's 700" only by virtue of finish and prestige. I had a 788 in 6mm Rem. that was an absolute tackdriver. Great trigger, fast lock-time. My model 700 in .270 is great, but no more...

Good buy! Sounds like you have a cool little rifle in a great caliber. Maybe if enough people ask, they'll bring the .350 mag. back. If they would make a Rem. Model 7 in .358 Win., I'd buy that too....

RE: Bear backup...

A .357 for big bears? I think we're on the right track, but a little dislexic here. For me, a .3-7-5 H&H will be much preferable, over a pistol, pepper spray, or suicide note.

Honestly, any gun...

RE: Hornady Ammuniton

I haven't tried the Hornady light magnums yet, but I love Hornady bullets in general. Their new lt. mag. factory loads seem to give a hundred fps or so more than anything but handloads. Go for it!

RE: What is the lethal minimum ft/lbs for a humane kil
