    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    That's where I am moving into the .50 cal direction and picked up the .50 cal barrel for my Renegade. However you may have a tough time trying to find a left hand barrel for your rifle in .50 cal. I would just watch Ebay and see if one by chance shows up. I looked at a couple of online used...

    Savage 110 Rfles

    To get technical there are three action types. Short, long, and magnum. Short actions are just that, shorter than the others. The bolt doesn't need to travel as far backwards before ejecting and picking up another round than a long action. They are also suppose to be lighter than the long...

    Savage 110 Rfles

    Personally I went with the 25-06 over the Creedmore. But then I have a thousand or so empty once fired 30-06 cases that I can use. What it really comes down to is a short action vs a long action

    Ammunition shortage

    I saw on TV today where Biden is talking about proposing a tax on our firearms. Right now it is AK's and other so called "black rifles" He figures that it will raise 34 billion dollars.

    Entry level rifle on a budget

    In my book if you are a experienced shooter/hunter and pass up a lot of questionable shots then a 6.5 is good for elk but........if not go with a larger bullet such as the .30 calibers that you mentioned. In my book you can not beat a .36-06. But then I like it better than either of the...

    Entry level rifle on a budget

    Both that you listed will fit the bill for a first rifle. Right now it may be hard to find either in the used market, rifles and handguns along with ammo have been either hard to find or they are getting premium prices for them. You might also look at the used rifles at Cabela's, I can't...

    Ammunition shortage

    Back when California was working on passing their new laws on purchasing ammo I read a article about "gun control" The biggest thing about any restrictions on purchasing was about ammo. They said that most legislatures will shy away from trying to ban firearms due to our constitution and the...

    54 Cal Muzzleloader Bullet

    I hated it when S&W bought TC in 2007 and decided to get rid of a lot of the muzzle loader products that they had.

    Oh yea? You don't know me, I lost 2 sets. Perhaps it is the onset of old age. I found them later right were they were suppose to be.

    Do you know that on the older double cut Ford keys that you can use the same key for two different vehicles? All you need to do is to just cut one side of key for each vehicle.

    Savage 110 Rfles

    While it isn't a Savage 110 or 6.5 Crede I picked up a Weatherby Vangard .25-06 a few years ago and love it. I shot the coues deer in my avatar with it and watched it fall over when the bullet hit. The shot was 420 yards..

    Warmest socks or boots for cold weather sits

    If I was sitting in a tree and it was that cold I might even take my boots off and put on some insulated booties where my toes could move around a little instead of being cramped inside of a pair of boots.

    Ammunition shortage

    The shortage started the beginning of summer when the riots started and have just carried through to now. And with Biden being elected it is just going to get worse. I had a friend visiting from Texas over the weekend and he commented on not being able to find 41 mag rounds. I happened to...
