OK, shoot him in the gut with a .22RF, and it will kill him just like a 22-250. He will crawl off and die somewhere, and for some folks mission accomplished. I'll not quibble over whether it's humane or not , I don't really care myself. But at $250.00 to $400.00 per pelt, I want to take him...

My wife loves shooting Ruff Grouse, and Ptarmigan. She also likes shooting Black Bears and Moose. She does not like hunting Caribou, because she does not like Caribou meat. Both of my sons hunt. The oldest one lives in Oragan and hunts Turkey. The youngest one lives here in Fairbanks. He...

I live in Alaska, on average our Wolves range from 80 to 180lbs. A good friend of mine is a professional guide, who specializes in Wolves. I am often invited to go along with him and his clients. No 22s period, 243 minimum. He prefers a 25-06. Some clients will bring 30-06s and he says that...

I tried the Burris Eliminator on a Ruger .338. Does not fit properly, Picatinny rail just not fitting right. Looking at putting it on T/C Encore in .300 Win Mag. Anyone have any thought on this?

It's been four years now since a pack of Wolves attacked and ate a school teacher in Chignik Alaska. Seems the main stream media would not pick up that story. I know the State Biologist that went out and looked the attack site over. He also so shot and performed necropsies on as many of...

Looking for some openions here, from experienced shooters. I'm leaning towards the 300 or the 25-06. Ruger .338 Win Mag. TCR 7MM Mag. TC Encore 300 Mag. Custom Savage 25-06. TCR 30-06.

I ordered my stock from Cabela's. I did the fitting myself. I usually use the seat or back rest of my snowmachine, it's easier and faster. the reason for the spare rifle is if you happen to damage the rifle or scope when you are hours from the highway, and a four hyour drive home, a spare...

I have talked to my good friend Coke Wallace, a professional wolf hunter, and guide. Coke guides a lot of hunters out to kill wolves in the spring, and always knows where and when to find them. I was talking to him about which gun I should use. He had one and only one caliber he recommends...

I want an AR in 6.5 Grendel, and a Bolt action in .50 BMG

Savage and Ruger make .17 Hornets. Henry, Mossberg, and H&R, make .17 HMRs.

Rooster, no fight just discussion. I carried a .243 for years. I've seen Moose, Caribou, Dall Sheep, Black Bears, and even Brown and Grizzly Bears taken with the .243. And down there I might even try a .243 on Wolves, you guys are only lo9oking to kill one wolf. Not so here in Alaska. The...

I don't know about you, but I'm selling the pelts here in Alaska. they will bring from $150.00 to $400.00 depending on quality. Now if it's out of season, OK follow the three S,s Shoot, Shovel, and Shut-up. But Wolf Trapping season is in full swing right now. In Methods and Means, one of...

I too live and hunt in Alaska, I live in North Pole. I shoot a .338/378 Weatherby. I am partial to the .225gr Nosler Accubond. In front of IMR 4828, the 225 is traveling at 3210fps avg. I also use the 250gr Nosler Partition. I killed my first Grizzly with the 250gr Nosler Partition at 620...

Something is Coyotes and Foxes, maybe a Lynx. At 100 yards both my son and I can only get 3 to 4 inch groups, with the newer one (built in the 90s. The older one from the 80s we can cut the groups down to 2 1/2 to 3 inch group at 100 yards.

I have two Mini-14s, (I know your sorry). I really like these guns, but they are very inaccurate. Oh I can use them out to 100 yards but after that they are just throwing bullets everywhere. Is there a way to help these guns shoot straighter. Some people say new barrels will do it, others...
