I acquired a Pietta 1851 Navy "confederate" .44 cal brass frame for a good price because they stated the cylinder was corroded and stuck. I figured it would be an easy fix involving penetrating oil and a sonic cleaner......well after hours in the sonic cleaner and a lot of Kroil later, I still...

I'd leave the dog at home. I know guys who use coyote dogs but they are heavily trained dogs. They usually have large home ranges so I don't know about hitting the same exact area but trying a varmint distress call early wouldn't hurt. I like to change calls fairly quickly when coyote...
I do not live in California anymore, however, I do travel back to hunt with family who still lives there. My grandpa has always wanted a bear but never put too much effort in focusing on deer. Last year he said he was going to focus on bear. I hope this does not gets passed or takes a while...
I don't know if this is a common thing or not but my grandfather shot silhouette matches and their old rule when grouping rifles was 5 shots for calibers under .25 and 3 shots for higher. They would shoot multiple groups of course but they would only brag on the tightest groups. His main focus...

Good thread, been looking into a good reasonably priced rifle for my girlfriend who insists she wants to start hunting, I don't know if it a dream come true or nightmare!(jokes, jokes, love sharing the outdoors with anyone who is interested)
My grandpa turns 76 this and he fluctuates in weight and ability as it seems like most people do. Whenever he hits around 195-200 he slows down on the whiskey and cokes(I don't know if you drink or not) and his meals reduce in calories and carbs. He starts a new project in the yard or...
My A-Bolt II in .22-250 with a bit of basic work shooting custom loads will put 5 into a quarter of an inch. Recently swapped out my VX-3 for a Vortex Viper HST. The surprising one is my Ruger American .270 that will put 3 into .33. VX-3 on that one as well.
I live in Wyoming and recently started trapping, just looking for someone I can message back and forth with and gets tips and tricks. Trapping is dying and I want to be able to share it with friends and family, first however, I gotta get better myself! My grandpa used to trap coyotes and...
