RE: Best groups W/O a rest

I can keep all of my guns inside 4-5" at 100 yards. I never shoot off of a bench really, just don't enjoy it as much. My favorites are my 45/70's, and once you learn to play the rainbow with them,...

RE: Slug Gun for Black Bear?

Welcome! First off, I believe that a 20 gauge will do the trick. My brother shoots slugs from an 870 20 gauge all the time, and a heavy lead slug will absolutely devastate vitals with a good shot. ...

cw, I put a Burris FullField II 1.75-5x on my 1895. It is sighted in dead on at 100, so depending on the load it can be anywhere from just a few to about 8 inches low at 150. It is a hammer, and I...

Another vote for the sleeker 30-30 at those ranges. Nothing against the .44 mag, but for 200 yards you want a rifle bullet.
