• Posted in thread: $200 for a scope on 07/19/2009 at 9:39PM
  Take a look at opticzone.com or Bruno Shooters Supply. Some of the best prices on the web. For that price
  point, another good option is the Bushnell 3200 3-9X40. It is priced at $189 at Optic Zone. Go...

• Posted in thread: Info on my old 30-06 on 06/25/2009 at 8:34AM
  Looks like a Modelo 1935 Argentine Mauser 98 made in Belgium and shipped to Argentina in 1935-1936.
  Obviously, it was sporterized with a new stock. I would have to look at the markings to confirm it w...

• Posted in thread: A fire starts and you can only rescue one rifle. on 05/27/2009 at 7:34AM
  Not sure I would be admitting to stealing a Governmet firearm? Wouldn't be the first war this has
  happened but not too cool to admit it to a relatively public forum.

• Posted in thread: Zeiss optics on 05/19/2009 at 8:40AM
  Great optics! Great value! Should satisfy your shooting/hunting needs. I really like the Conquest series
  for general hunting, durability, and great German optics. You can buy better, but not for the p...

• Posted in thread: Questions for elk, and moose hunters? on 05/18/2009 at 3:45PM
  I don't have near the experience with Elk that the gentleman who has taken 33. Personally, I would not
  engage an Elk with a 308 past 200-250 yds. I just don't feel comfortable, even with a 168 gr bull...

• Posted in thread: Need some help with a 22 on 05/09/2009 at 4:06PM
  A couple other relatively inexpensive options are the Bushnell Banner and the Nikon Prostaff. I have
  3X9X40s on a couple of my 22s.

• Posted in thread: 300 weatherby elk rifle on 04/26/2009 at 8:03AM
  I have hunted for over 50 years and have never been called a sissy for hunting with a muzzle brake. My
  wife might agree with moron for some of the chances I have taken in pursuit or bear and boar. At ...

• Posted in thread: Weatherby Mark V in my future? on 04/23/2009 at 10:09AM
  I reread the other posts and believe you are getting good advice regardless which way you go. I own two
  of the Vanguards in 25-06, and 270. They both shot sub-MOA out of the box. My theory is that the...

• Posted in thread: Weatherby Mark V in my future? on 04/23/2009 at 9:50AM
  I own the Mark V 7 MM Weatherby Mag with a muzzle brake. The recoil is stout, but manageable. Definitely,
  not a bench gun unless you are using a sled or a thick recoil pad. It will take out anything i...

• Posted in thread: .270 or 30-06 on 04/20/2009 at 2:38PM
  A really good starter rifle would be a Marlin XL7 in 30-06. They sell for less than $300. Would leave you
  $200 for a scope. The Bushnell Elite 3200s can be bought for under $200. Would give you an exc...
