    Want To Buy Wanted: Savage rifle in 30-06

    Hello. I am seeking a Savage rifle in 30-06, preferably with a 26 inch barrel. I have a wildcat reamer that allows me to rechamber a barrel with no other changes to the rifle to the 9.3x64 RWS cartridge case. This larger case still can store 4 cartridges in the Savage action and that is why my...

    For Sale Safe clean out

    Oh shoot,' Thank you for your consideration. I have a wildcat cartridge case based on the 9.3x64 RWS case that allows me to create a .300 magnum performance with no other alteration to the barrelled action except rechambering. The performance from a 22 inch barrel would not allow me to achieve...

    Best all around carrying trapping for 10x50 binoculars

    New 10x50's coming in and its been so long I could use some guidance for the chest assembly strapping so they can be utilized quickly in the field and be held in place firmly so they are not flopping around when not in use. Lots of possibilities, some which look as if they are heavier than the...

    Fresh from hospitals, I find my partner and I have drawn Muzzleloading tags for Mobile impaired Bulls during the rut. Only 22 tags in entire area. I had been a serious Senior member of the Pope and Young club, but that was 40 years ago. My partner knows area well and is a good bugler. This...

    6.5mm - 25cal = .007"

    I have both 25's and 6.5's. The Ackley book on wildcats had a .25 quick twist cartridge the featured a 1-7 twist barrel and 160 grain bullets back in 1954, I believe.

    With regard to true size of the blaze, since you require specifics: 341,000 acres was burnt, about 62 million trees. I noted yesterday several places where the road was washed out and required 4x4 to get through. Yes, too much rain will be terrible for these very steep mountains. WW
