Just my personal experience here. Recently , while hunting private property, I ran up on a herd of hogs . I was on my 4wheeler. They were spooked, but confused, and they just meandered around me. Having killed two the week before at Tuckahoe, I didnt really want to deal with another one, but...
This thread gets me wanting to go back to lever guns. My first buck was shot with a Marlin 336SC in .32 Win.Sp. Iron sights, 125 yards, while in my "stand"(one 2x4 nailed between two limbs). After so many years I went to a scoped Marlin .444. I took a slew of GA deer with it plus a few mulies in...
I use no optics that require a battery. Not for hunting or defense. That`s one more thing that can fail. There is most likely coming a time when you can`t get batteries. I don`t depend on having electricity for anything in the future. A generator might get me by long enough to eat up perishable...
I said "no" to glocks for many years. Said they look like a 2x4. They do. Then Something made me want one, just to try. I bought a 43, then a 43X, then a 19. It was a good move. I`ve owned many handguns, still got a few, but Glocks are my favorite. I`ve stayed with 9mm just due to cost and...
I was team leader on a church team for several years. We trained year round and had to qual annually. We had law enforcement instructors. If you were on my team you would be allowed to carry whatever weapon you could qualify with, and whatever weapon you did well with in training, provided it...
I don`t own khakis. I don`t work there. I went back today and bought some more stuff. I won`t badmouth a biz if they treat me right..They treated me right.
I tried a 20 ga. Cabelas(Carlsons) Black MAXX with #5 Winchester Double X . Lousy. Returned it. It was a return when I bought it. Now this same brand choke shoots excellent in a Mossberg 12 ga. that I have for sale. The Accuchoke that came in the 20 ga. Mossberg is good, but lead shot only.
I have recently bought a Mossberg 20 gage turkey gun. Tired of the 3 1/2 inch, though it got me a lot of turkeys. The choke that came in the 20 gage is a .584 by Mossberg. I bought a Cabelas Black MAXX .575 thinking I may go to TSS when some comes available. The Black MAXX puts about half the...
I asked a gunsmith if he would ream the chambers in a Stevens 311 SxS to 3 inches. He said "No way". He said only one model of a FOX SxS could be done that way.
I have one. I dont hunt with it. I`m a SxS man or a Model 12 man sometimes. They are good shotguns as long as you use the correct shells. The 2 3/4 inch barrels shoot that shell fine, but won`t cycle 3inch shells. The 3 inch barrels shoot only the 3 inch. Mine is a 3 inch but cycles the 2 3/4...
