    Last Ditch Option on Inaccurate Rifle

    Quite a few years ago I bought a used Savage 110 in .30/06 for cheap. I think Savage rifles are really accurate out of the box and if I was buying a new rifle, that's the brand I'd buy, but this used gun was very inaccurate from the first time I shot it. I don't know if it's worn out or if it...

    Peace on Earth...

    “Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men on whom his favor rests.” Those were the words the multitude of angels spoke to the shepherds – heaven’s first public words at the birth of Jesus.

    Holidays, Families & Funerals

    It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and while a lot of people are on the road going to see family, I am on my way to a funeral. It’s for one of the finest, faith-filled men I ever knew, a man in his early 40s that leaves behind six children and a stunned wife. He had a body-builder’s physique but...

    SIG Oscar 3

    I've been toying with the idea of getting 15x binos but they're too shaky apart from a tripod so I'd have to carry two binos, one of which would be pretty heavy and so I thought I'd just stick with my Dialyt spotter. So when I read Dan Turvey's E-News review earlier this week on the new SIG...

    Why do you trophy hunt?

    Why do you trophy hunt? That is, if you do concentrate on getting the biggest bull or buck you can find. Is it competitive spirit? Taking hunting to a higher level, taxing your body and honing your skills? Is it pride in outsmarting the best buck on the mountain? What makes trophy hunting...
