Nice rifle. I have probably five JC Higgins M50s, the plainer version, four in 30-06 and one that was rebarreled and restocked as a 7x57 Mauser. I've only seen one Higgins M51and that was years ago, and I don't remember if it had a cheekpiece. I do remember its being checkered though. Heck, even...

The last dog I had was part Boston Terrier and Pit Bull of all things. Cute as a pup when we got him buy grew nasty disposition as he grew older. He tried to bite a man who was at my house on business and I was thinking something might need to be done. One day he got out almost five years ago...

n one of my gun show forays I snagged six boxes of 220 gr. Sierra 220 gr, Round Nose. IIRC, they were $15.00 a per sealed boxes of 100 bullets. The shoot pretty good from a Remington M700 Classic and a couple of FN Mausers I have, Paul B.

Take a hint from Nancy Reagan. "Just say no!" Paul B.

Guy, along time agao. probably about the time LBJ became Preident that something wsnt quite kosher. Took a while but the conclusion I came to is the fact that the democrat party has morphed into the communist party. When did they slyly change the name from democrat to democratIC with emphasis on...

Not about a bird but I do think the 7x57 is a jinxed cartridge for me. The sad part is I love shooting it. First time was back in 1973. Shot a deer ar roughly 80 yards. Deer ran off and I didn't it until the next day. Shot at about 8 in the AM and the and I looked until it was too dark to see...

I've always wanted a #1 in .300 GH&H. I do have four Ruger #1s in .300 Win. mag though. Two are the #1S 200th year guns and the thirrd is an "S black pad. Odd one out is a "B" model with a sort of story. I don't know why Ruger #1s have been on the scarce side west of the Mississippi but that's...

I've never really compared the .308 with 1 in 10 and 1 in 12: twists mainly because I've never had two .308s with equal length barrel and the two different twist rates. I am inclined to agree with what others have already said as I think it doesn't make a lot of difference. I would think that a...

Tucson Mountain is about 4 or five miles from my front door and frankly I've never even checked it out, Googled them up and the reviews aren't half bad. You can scroll down a bit and check out Tucson Rifle Club. You may have noticed I griped about the quality of the ROs. For spits and grins I...

Interesting. The only brass I have for my .280 Rem. is once fired factory Remington and Winchester nickel plated cases for reloading. I've done very little work with the Remington brass but my serious load for the .280 runs the older two core Speer Grand Slam at 2910 FPS and the largest group so...

I know many people complain about the accuracy of the Ruger #1 being a somewhat iffy thing. Yes that can be a problem if one of so anal that the rifle is no good unless groups are .25" or less. I'll just say I have a few Ruger#1s in various configurations ranging from the .22 Hornet to the .416...

Just about all my custom rifles have Douglas barrels. Paul B.

"Been playing with my 300 HH #1 hoping to get consistent 1/2 moa with 180 accubonds. I got there with 68.5 gr of RL 19 but velocity was only 2880, hoping for a little more." That's what I get from a commercial FN Mauser in 30-06 running the 165 gr. Accubonds over W760. Rifle has a 24" barrel...

I think the reason you don't see April fools jokes anymore and too many people are too easiliy offended. Just another loss to wokedom. DAMMIT! Paul B.

I've heard from several sources that one of the reason for the scarcity and thus higher prices for power is the lack of nitrocellulose. Without nitrocellulose you cannot have smokeless powder.. Seems the majority of nitrocellulose apparently has been coming from Russia. Between Russia's conflict...

One day at the range I saw some factory ammo boxes (Winchester) with .270 and 30-06 labels. I checked the boxes and all have what appeared to be once fired factory. On that assumption, I started "digging for gold". I ended up with ten boxes of 30-06 an 8 of .270 Win. That's the happy part of the...

The only 2x7 scope I have is a Leupold with the friction style adjustments. It's mounted on a Winchester M70 Featherweight 7x57 and so far has held steady regarding adustment. It has never varied once sighted in, knock on wood. I've since picked up a Minox 2.5x10X that may replace the 2x7X...

I can't say what the situation with CDFW is today but before I left California for good, does and spikes were very sacred cows. Shoot one and they literally dropped the hammer on you. They did have a draw for a few antlerless tags but AFAIK, no one I knew including me ever drew one. Strong rumor...

Not to take this off topic but back in the 1970s while scouting for deer and looking for a coyote to shoot to judge hide quality I was stalked by a Mountain Lion that I believe had me on her menu. After several attempts to drive her off I shot her with my .243. I reported th ekill to the local...
