I haven't the slightest idea how to put a picture on this thing, but I had plenty of luck this year. I harvested a buck that grosses 166 2/8, he'll likely net in the top five in PA for typical bucks harvested with a bow. One week later I sat with my mother who harvested a mature doe, her first...

Thank you guys so much so far, keep the comments coming. I guess part of my dilemma is I have never used or looked through a Nightforce. I am curious if anyone knows what the low light performance is like. This is crucial to me because in SC especially during the august velvet season shots...

I am currently having a precision hunting rifle built for me and I am a little stuck as to what optics to put on it. I do most of my hunting in Pennsylvania and South Carolina on property that I own. I will be going out west with this rifle next year and I'm sure a lot more in the future...

Hey Guys, I've recently been gifted a 300 wsm built by GA Precision. I was wondering what anyone thought of the difference between a Swarovski and a Nightforce as the optics for this rifle. I have a friend who has a Nightforce on his GA Precision that shoots 6" groups at 1000yds and we are...

I was just wondering what kind of experience anyone has had with the new trophy bonded bullet by Speer. The old trophy bonded bear claw was a great performing bullet, but left a little to be desired in the accuracy department as it is essentially a round nose bullet, well it performs like a...

Well of course sir you present a valuable and very important point in that my age is a limiting factor. I certainly am well equipped to gold my own in the firearms department as I had a grandfather who was a certifiable gun nut. I am far and away from being anything near great in the shooting...

I want to thank you guys so far for the advice. I still haven't settled on anything at all yet. For those of you that spoke about insurance, actually the best way to cover firearms is to schedule them on whatever dwelling policy you might have if it allows. Of course the best way to cover...

I appreciate your advice but I do not believe that the 7mm wsm will remain a readily available cartridge in the future. In my area I've already seen it drop to the point where all I can find is 140gr ballistic tips. I really do not enjoy shipping ammo due to the cost and the way things are...

I am looking to change my hunting setup a little bit as it will not satisfy all of my needs. My current rig is a Browning A-Bolt Medallion in 7mm WSM topped with a 5-25x52 Swarovski. I enjoy this setup very much and it has the capability to reach much further than I care to shoot. I have...
