Lynn Thompson (COLD STEEL Knife Company) offers a DVD of his hunts for wild water buffalo in Australia's wild outback country. DVD is titled, Death Down Under . Lynn topples dozens of buffalo with a 44MAG revolver loaded with 300 grain Hornady XTP bullets. Now these animals are sturdy built with thi...

My wife and I have been flipping houses for nearly 20 years. Quite profitable. I'm not spending a lot on out of state hunts although there is that. Mostly we have been stacking up money for retirement. Planning to retire to Florida and hunt axis deer and wild hogs.

Last weekend I drove over to the large Sportsman's Show in Harrisburg. Many interesting vendors and I met lots of friendly folks. I handled two 475 Turnbull rifles which are based upon modified 1886 Winchester rifles. High quality color case hardening and smooth actions really impressed me. The 475 ...

I'm well equipped for snow driving. My '98 Ford Explorer has AWD with Bridgestone Winter Dueler tires. No traction problems at all. But shoveling snow is always a chore that I dread. Last storm, the township snow plow sealed my driveway entrance with piles of snow.

I went on a Florida hog hunt last year at Christmas time with this outfit: Seminole Prairie Outfitters.

The hunt cost $200. and I nailed a medium sized hog weighing approx 150 lbs. I hunted with my Glenfield 30-30 carbine.

They've gone UP about $125. per rifle since about three years ago. I feel that Remington's take over of Marlin is a contributing factor to this inflation. Political climate is another factor. $450. is about right for a pristine 336 in 35. But ammo supply for this cartridge has diminished greatly in ...

The late Jack O'Connor often wrote about his big game experiences shooting his custom 270 rifles. He toppled large moose and heavy bodied elk using Speer bullets for the most part. He knew where to place those deadly bullets into the chest organs to do the most damage. I've admired Jack's writings s...

I remember when a new 170 sold for $99.99 which was a long time ago. They're typically quite accurate despite their budget priced beginnings.

Best way to post photos is to open an account at PhotoBucket and copy/paste from that site.

I've downed several coyotes with shots of approx. 75 yards using my 22 MAG rifle. The bullet hits like a little grenade. Based upon my experiences, I'd say that coyotes are easy to kill with chest shots.

Years ago, I hunted with a 141 in Michigan. It was a 35 Remington and shot exceedingly well with iron sights but my eyeballs were much younger then.

Good luck on finding 35 ammo. NONE AVAILABLE in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

James Files claims to have used a Remington bolt action pistol in .222 featuring mercury tipped bullet. This would explain why Kennedy's head exploded.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c146/rushmoreman/44MAG.jpg I owned a Marlin 1894 in 44MAG for over 20 years. It featured shallow micro-groove rifling and slo-o-o-ow twist. It shot 7 inch groups with 240 grain ammo which is unacceptable for deer hunting. But I found that 200 grain Hornady .430 hol...

My nephew has been to Iraq twice and to Afghanistan once. The guys use their big bowie knives for opening boxes of MRE's and that's about it.

I bought my 788 new in 1977 for less than $200. Chambering is 22-250. Barrel length is 24 inches.

This rifle is very accurate and shoots a variety of bullet weights quite well. I'm not clear why it went out of production.

The 742 was an upgrade to Remington's model 740. The reputation is "keep it clean" and the action will cycle properly every time. For a time, Remington offered a unique angled chamber brush. Unfortunately, replacement parts are not available. Remington upgraded the 742 into the 7400 about ...

My boss hunts bears in Maine each year with his Marlin in 35 Remington. He has taken two really big 'uns weighing over 300 lbs. Yet they were no match for the mighty 35!

My brother-in-law bought a 444 to hunt bison at Twin Pines Ranch, Wyoming. He paid a professional smith to load ammo featuring the 300 grain Hornady XTP bullet. Ammo was expensive but done right.

My Aunt Lillian (1920-2002) hunted with an older Remington pump action in 25 Remington for several decades. She toppled several dozen whitetails with her rifle. None got away.
