There's a huge untapped market out there for the NRA that they've denigrated and vilified, but I think they burned that bridge to the ground years ago. It also doesn't help that they've so staunchly entrenched themselves as being part of the problem. That is, it's possible to strongly believe in...

If a "lighter" load is 180 grains, then the 30-06 may very well be the best choice. You can finds rounds from as little 110 grains, all the way up to 220. The latter would be good application for every game animal the OP mentioned.
I own two 30-0's (Browning and Savage). I can sit...
Have you read the Second Amendment with an honest eye? Then, have you read the "I read sentences going from the start, skip the middle, and then go to the end, while pretending I'm an English teacher" holding from Heller? I've had to read many tortured dissents and opinions by many SCOTUS...
From the article:
Do you want criminals to own guns? Do you want illegal gun purchases to occur? Do you want more guns in the hands of those who would use them as an aid to commit violent crimes?
At what point in that article does it mention anything about banning guns from law abiding...
How has anyone's freedom to own firearms decreased?
Start naming all these horrendous threats.
I vote Democrat and Green and never once have I felt any serious threat to my ability to own a firearm. Hell, I own seven, with a Sako 416 Rem Mag on the way. And I live in California (thankfully)...
That's what I was gonna say. You can find ammo from 120-220 grains.
Or one could go with a something like an RPG-32. It's a little heavy for smaller game, but doesn't recoil against the shoulder at all. It'll also cook and quarter, at least partially, whatever you hit with it. Not only that...
Anyone have any experience with these? The reviews on them are great, but price is always a consideration ($1700-$2000). But the advantages appear tremendous. I've also been thinking about the Bushnell Fusion 1-Mile ARC Binocular Laser Rangefinders. Again, these have great reviews, but price...
Bingo.
I seriously doubt Bigfoot exists, but if I ever see one and I'm properly equipped, I'm taking that shot from any angle I can. It'll be known as the "Opoponax Bigfoot" and I'll be friggin' famous forever. I'd write one book after the next and make millions. At some point, when sales got...
As others have said, find a reputable doc to get the assessment done. But then get a second opinion. My dad ended up with a doctor who was doing literally dozens of these surgeries per day. He ended up doing the wrong eye on my dad and it's taken years to get it corrected.
The NRA is a vile organization. A few days after my mom died, I was at her house. My sister and I were packing up her stuff, trying to figure out what to do, and obviously dealing with the grief of the situation.
The phone rang and so I answered it. It was an NRA rep. She asked for my mom, who...
Well said. There's also the matter of not knowing the law(s) in play, how those laws apply to the facts, and what past court rulings on similar matters have been and in what courts those rulings were given.
That's the thing about reading about lawsuits in the press. You can't tell what's...
No doubt there are people that really can hit cleanly from jaw-dropping ranges, but is it a norm? No. Is it something to aspire to? Sure, if you're naturally skilled enough, put in the time at the range, do the brain-work for the calculations so that you know them cold, and have the right tools...
I totally forgot about this thread. Sorry (if anyone actually cares). Long story short: bad magazine, new magazine works great.
Success % in making mountain out molehill: 100.
But I will say that I never got any help from Savage on this. I called 3 days in a row and never got anything but a...
There's a lot I won't bother to explain because it's long, complicated, and boring. But here's the thing: between the rifle and scope, firearms dealer fees, and including taxes, I've spent close to $1,700 on this rig. I refuse to tolerate being sent a shoddy product that's unreliable and...
Yeah, I'm just calling them today. I've already written a letter that outlines the basic California contract law that pertains to the sale of a good that's not fit for the purpose for which it's sold and how the law applies to this particular set of facts. It's kind of frustrating, but also...
It was accurate. I'll give it that. But when you can only fire one round before having to manually remove the spent cartridge and take the magazine out in order to remove the new cartridge, reload the magazine with two more cartridges, re-insert the cartridge, and start all over again, it makes...
