    6.5CM vs 270 WIN vs 308 Best all around hunting/entry long range rifle?

    Since someone suggested a 7mm-08, I'd like to recommend .284 Winchester. Great ballistics, good bullet selection, and decent recoil, particularly if you've got a good brake. I have a 6.5 CM and a .284. I like both but if I were going to hunt elk it would be no question - .284. Sent from my...

    AI, Sako or Mausingfield for....

    Just re-read the OP's question. Durability and reliability (no failures to feed or eject) are his primary criteria. Most of the discussion has been "Ford versus Chevy". IMHO I think he should actually consider a M98 or M70. Their long history is based on their inherent durability and reliability...

    Mauser 98 vs Remington 700...??

    Technology is a great thing.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First Revolver Advice?

    I've owned, carried, and hunted with revolvers for 40+ years. My favorite has always been N frame Smith and Wessons. I prefer 6" (6.5") barrels. My favorite holster is a shoulder holster. Easier to conceal and easier to handle. One nice thing about revolvers that's not readily apparent - you...

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    My Dad's K-bar. He bought it in 1945 after he got out of the USMC. He carried it every day for the rest of his life. I inherited it from him in 2005. I will carry it for the rest of my life. I also have his WW2 issue USMC K-bar. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
