If most shooting 300 yards or less, .223. If you a lot of longer shots, the 22-250. I'v done a lot of coyote and fox hunting, when it's windy I prefer the 22-250, but sometime will grab the .243.

My body shudders at the thought of removing or modifying factory claw mounts. Pony up big bucks and do it right, or by another gun and leave this one as is. This is of course my personal preference. It's your gun and your money.

In my younger years, my Coast to Coast Pump 12 gauge was THE gun. Didn't know until years later that is was made by Mossberg as the 500. No rib, 28" barrel, full choke. I set almost all my shooting records with this gun. 1st pheasant double and triple, 1 double on ducks. This was also the first...

I forgot about my first quail. I grew up in Iowa, far enough north I'd never seen a quail. Having moved to Nebraska, I was hunting with some friends. We were hunting pheasants around a lot of water, and I had my permit for waterfowl, so I had put in 3" 12 gauge shells, loaded with #3 steel shot...

It was right beside my foot, one handed no less, 28" full choke!!!! I is STUPID !!!!

About 6 inches, yup, 6 inches. Had a twelve gauge in my hands, and walking through an area of outbuildings on the farm, I stepped on a board and a rat popped out. I didn't even think, I pulled the trigger with the barrel less than 6 inches from my shoe and the rat. STUPID!!! But I survived and...

The Sig 220 in 45ACP is like a laser in my hand. They make a 227, which is a double stack 45, which I love. They make a 220 in 10mm, which I love..........so where the heck is my 227, double stack 10mm??????? And I want it factory ported!!!!

The stocks have a bit more drop than the 700 series, since they were originally mostly used with iron sights. Bolt clearance with a scope can be an issue. Great guns though.

I am easy. Would love to take an Elk. Any state. Would use my WWI 1903 Springfield. All factory except a new. taller front sight blade. Still the original 30-06 caliber.

I'm too old for all that "crap" in a scope. I know the term "crap" is not a true statement, but that is what it amounts to for me. Heck, I only warned up to variable power scopes about 30 years ago. Man I'm getting old!!! I just don't care for optics that require batteries that go bad. Having...

Remington 552BDL, bought new around 40 years ago. At 25 yards I could not get a bullet on paper. I had the rear sight hanging so far out it was almost falling off. Sent it back to Remington. They ended up sending me a new gun to my FFL dealer. Took a while. Finally found out the barrel had been...

I often hunt with iron sighted old military or cowboy guns. Worst surprised me. I never even kept it long enough to take it hunting. I spent 10 years lusting after a good small ring Mexican Mauser in 7mm Mauser caliber. Took it to the range one time. I have never been kicked that hard by any...

150 Winchester 45/70 unprimed brass, new in bags, about 30 more loose. MTM ammo box, Hornady #4500 .458, 300G Interlock HP. asking $150. Trades considered. images show some live rounds, they will NOT be included. Located in Nebraska,.

I think it is fun that I can use my old Marlin in .35 Rem. Instead of all the bitching, I'd be celebrating they opened up the restrictions some.

Where are you in Nebraska?? I am in Papillion but work in Omaha
