    Copper or Lead

    A 1-28'' twist .50 cal. barrel is about perfect for heavy lead conicals. The 460 gr Bullshop conicals and 460 gr No Excuses conicals shoot great out of my 1-28'' barrels. IdahoLewis has videos showing how well they shoot out of a 1-28'' twist as well. If your Encore barrel has a QLA at the...

    Maryland Yute Day

    We had some good luck this morning on Maryland’s Youth Spring Turkey Hunt. I took my buddy and his on out for his son’s first bird. He killed his bird 15 yards from the blind at 9:30. It was windy howling morning but still had a few gobblers moving. Great morning, great time, great memories.

    Unless You're Desperate, Do NOT use the UPS Store

    UPS and the UPS Store are two seperate companies/ entities. Several years ago I needed to send a scope back to Leupold for warranty repair work. The guy behind the counter at the UPS Store asked me what I was shipping. I told him it was a scope. He asked if it was a scope that mounted on a...

    FOR SALE Leupold Quick Release Base n Rings

    Been a while since I bought them. I'm 99% sure they are medium. Don't think I ever purchased high rings in my life. They are the same height as the rings on my 700 Mountain Rifle, and I have a 42 mm bell on that scope with clearance.

    what broadhead will you be using for deer this year ?

    Swhackers are pretty good. They should probably rename them "Zippers" the way they open things up.

    Hornady 325 Grain FTX

    I shoot the 325 FTX from my CVA Scout 45-70. They have performed splendidly on deer for me.

    Serious Gun Vault!

    Yes, there is a duct line into the room. I have also cut small openings for air flow at opposite ends of the room. I keep a small fan running continuously just to keep the air circulating. Never had a problem with moisture or rust on any guns in the room.

    Serious Gun Vault!

    Cool video! We built our current house in 2007. I had the front porch excavated down to the basement footers in order to put a gun room in. I bought a vault door from Golden Spike affiliated with Champion Safes. The gun room is surrounded by 10 inches of concrete and steel walls and ceiling.

    Encore Questions

    I put a Bergara, medium contour .300 Win Mag barrel on one of my Encore frames. I would not shoot it until I had a Witt Machine clamp-on brake made for it . One of the best things I ever did. Shooting 180 grain Barnes VOR-TX ammo. The brake reduces recoil to be comparable to that of a .243...

    Tungsten Turkey Ammo: Is It Worth It?

    FWIW, I shoot a 20” barrel 12 gauge for spring turkey hunting. I shoot Winchester Long Beard XR shells.#4’s and #5’s. I would have no problem killing a turkey at 50 yds with this set up. I pay about $25 for a box of 10 shells. $2.50 a shell vs $13.20 a shell for something that will get the same...
