      i lost my airhawk to my 8 year old... me and my stupid bets

      I bet her that she couldn't hit a dime at 50 yards in under 10 shots. she nailed it on shot #6 and consistently kept a quarter sized group. it was her first time using a scope or that rifle (she's only shot my old red rider a few times in the past.) no bench vise, just a bag in front with an...

      I'm looking for a particular gunsmith

      I am looking for a gunsmith who, I believe, is in the gonzolas/prairieville area. I only know that his first name is Carlos and I believe his last name starts with a "v". I've lost his card and I would like to contact him about a few things. If anyone may know who I am talking about, please...

      s&k instamount scope mount for p17

      i got one of these for my eddystone and noticed i could not hold zero on the windage. I was able to grab the scope and shift it from left to right ever so slightly. the mount only has one screw and relies on the ears to keep it stable. There is obviously a small gap. If any of you have this...

      hand carving/checkering vs. laser etching or stamping

      how would you rank the difference in look and feel of "done by hand" vs. "done by machine"? I would like to see some examples of both and mabye some pro's and cons of the two.

      help with 25-06 varmint/target rifle build on a budget

      I have non inletted stock i plan to use, and a scope and rings. I'm having trouble tracking down a good barrelled action. preferably a 24-26" big fat heavy barrel, but that can be compromised. trying to keep it under 500 bux. any links to trusted sights would be much appreciated.

      never knew my grandfather owned a butcher shop

      found this old mauser with a handle/scopemount welded on the action, the barrel was shortened and shabally recrowned, the bolt handle was grinded on and welded on, and the stock wasn't original for sure. hopefully i can save the barrel... it's kindof rusty in there

      hobby lobby parking lot of all places

      On a family outing to hobby lobby this weekend, we were getting back into the car and buckling our kids up, and this older gentleman starts honking his horn and cursing for me to hurry up. I asked for one second, closed the door and turned towards the drivers door. He barrels out of the car...

      primers backing out with min charge

      Ive loaded some once fired rem brass with 47gr imr 4064 w/168 gr horn hpbt and win primers. This is my first batch ive made for 30-06 and i noticed the primers went in much easier than my 338. And full length resizing was much easier as well. I attributed both on the non-belted case being a...

      I hunt west feleciana/point coupee and saw a handful of late fawns, and several barron does were harvested. We aren't seeing near the amount of deer sign or deer on camera as last year. Last season's camera pics were filled with deer. a few of them were muley heads and some appear to have...

      i've found a lot of 7mm and 300 wm brass and some of them seem to have been resized into 338wm. the resized 7mm brass looks allmost black. I wasn't left with any notes on this process, but i may have over looked some scatterd paperwork. would annealing be necessary? how much would case life...

      white tail recipe for .338 win mag

      I realize the prevention of meat damage is mainly from shot placement, and i've heard enough from my dad on the line of "you don't need all that gun for whitetail, boy!". My question would be, should i opt for bigger grain projectile/lower velocity, vica versa.. ? i would imagine hollowpoint...
