    RCBS Powder Master Dispenser problem

    Hoping someone can offer some insight to a problem I'm having. I have an older RCBS Powder Master Dispenser. It's the older model made by PACT with the digital "eye" that communicates with the scale. The unit is probably 15 years old, out of warranty. There is a crack in the plastic housing...

    Pennsylvania Sunday Hunting

    I'm not sure that this has been discussed recently on this forum, but for those that don't know, Pennsylvania is one of the few states left that does not permit hunting on Sunday (with the exception of a few varmint species). There is currently legislation in the Pennsylvania Senate (just...

    Leupold BX-3 Mojave opinions

    Hi All, I recently found what I consider to be a pretty good deal on a pair of Leupold BX-3 Mojave binos. 10x42. Seller claims that they're new in box, asking $275 plus shipping. I see from Leupold's site that these aren't made anymore. Anyone have a pair of these? Opinions? Reviews? Good...

    Follow up on your shots

    Just wanted to share a quick story from this mornings pheasant hunt. Dog flushed a rooster this morning and I fired off both barrels. I never saw the bird flinch, nor feathers fly, I was certain that I had a clean miss. Watched the bird fly off probably 100+ yards and land in the edge of the...

    Daily driver or 2nd vehicle?

    Ok fellas here is my situation. Since moving to a much more rural area recently, I find myself blessed with a new found abundance of outdoor activities. My current SUV(Ford Edge), while ok for most things, is just too much of an urban grocery-getter for my new lifestyle. So I have come to the...

    New 7mm-HT bandwagon jumper

    Well we picked up a new 7mm-HT for the wife tonight, our first. She had been looking at rifles for a while now and finally settled on the X bolt Micro Midas. I'm looking forward to testing it out. I'm a bit concerned that the recoil will be too much for her, she has shot a .308 before and...

    7mm-08(HT) vs 308

    I know this topic has been touched on before but I wanted to get some fresh prospective. My wife has recently expressed some interest in big game hunting. She hunted small game for the first time this past season with a 20ga benelli. I'm trying to find an appropriate caliber that would be...

    17 HMR issue

    Took the 17HMR to the range today. It used to be one of my favorite rifles to shoot but has been neglected for the last several years as newer guns have come into the family. The issue is that I'm getting a lot of split cases and several times empty brass was lodged in the chamber and would not...

    Pennsylvania Semi- Auto

    Happy to report that Pennsylvania may be moving into the 21st century by finally allowing semi-auto rifles to be used for hunting. Also keep in mind that prior to the game commission granting preliminary approval, congress had to act to lift the legal ban on these firearms. Seems to be the...

    Decisions decisions

    I'm thinking about trying to pick up a Rem 700 ADL varmint from Cabelas. They're going to be on sale for $350. I don't really need one but for that price the action alone is worth it to me. My only decision is to choose between a .308 win or a 22-250. I'm leaning towards the 308 because my...

    Book recommendations

    As the chill of winter is now upon us and we are entering my least favorite time of year (after most hunting/before most fishing) I'm looking for a recommendation for a good book to read to fill the void between my winter sessions at the reloading bench . Mostly I'm interested in finding a book...

    Truck Stickers

    Isn't it interesting that many hunters broadcast the type of hunter they are by the stickers on their truck? For example on my duck hunt this morning I pulled into the parking lot to see three trucks, two of which were sporting Ducks Unlimited and GHG watefowl stickers. Right then and there I...

    Tag Sabotage

    I've been thinking about an issue recently. Here in PA there is a small(I hope) group of hunters who are upset with the current deer mgmt plan and feel that too many does are being killed and that the deer herd has been decimated. I've heard tell that some of these people organized by groups...

    Leatherman Tools

    I'm considering purchasing a Leatherman tool for my father as a retirement gift. I was reading on another forum where people were saying that Leatherman is anti-gun and has donated $$ to environmentalist groups that are anti-hunting/anti-public lands access. I trust the opinion of most of the...

    Holiday gifts

    Being the holiday season, is anyone expecting any special hunting/shooting related gifts this year? Plan on buying a gift for yourself? I know the wife is getting me some snow camo. I'm getting her a new Leupold VX-II 6-18x40 for her new rifle (lucky girl).

    Taxidermy question for birds

    Forgive me for my ignorance, simple question. How do you dress/prepare a bird for a taxidermist? Do you just take the whole bird to the shop (entrails and all) or does it have to be gutted out? Can it be eaten? I'd like to some day have some ducks, or maybe a grouse, mounted for the house...

    Controlling birds of prey

    I was recently wondering about predation on small game species from birds of prey, and I know that raptors are federally protected. I'm just wondering how/why we are permitted to hunt/manage predators such as coyote, fox, bobcat, etc... but what manages raptor populations? Could someone...

    Mid-Layer shirt suggestions

    I'm looking for suggestions(make/model) on a good mid-layer shirt (between base layer and jacket) to wear while deer hunting in the east. Needs to be breathable yet warm (no cotton). I'm thinking of a light fleece or sweatshirt type thing. I often wear a rag wool sweater in very cold temps...
