    Sidearms & Scatterguns So I Bought an XD

    I've carried an officer size 1911 for many years and it's still my primary edc. I drive truck for a living and wanted more capacity for my truck gun, I had bought my wife a xds 9mm a couple years ago and kind of liked it. The XDM Elite 5.25 with 22 round mags fit the bill and it has turned out...

    Building Materials Spike !

    Here in Michigan many mills shut down or slowed down for a bit. The lumber treaters I haul for are having trouble getting green wood to treat. The Mid Michigan lumber yards are also selling alot due to the rebuilding as a result of the flooding from the 2 dam breaches a couple months ago. The...

    There is a Marbles Museum in Escanaba at the Upper Peninsula state fair grounds. I don't know if you could get ahold of anyone there until our POS tyrannical governor backs off on her shutdown crap or is over ruled.

    Rifle Scopes Is this the new budget scope to beat? SWFA is on notice!

    I put the 4-14 on my 280 Remington and really like it. I've only put a few rounds downrange so I don't know how it will hold up. The glass is really good for the price, my only complaint is the field of view seems a bit narrow compared to my Nightforce and various Vortex scopes.

    Pistol to 100 yards

    Defiantly doable, I've shot my 10mm 1911 at 50 yards a bit, I don't think I'll push past that with the open sights. I used to shoot my scoped blackhawk at 100 yards almost every weekend and took a couple whitetails at close to that distance. Its been years since I've done any shooting at that...

    Hunting & Fishing Muzzleloader advice...

    i tried 2 pellets but accuracy with that bullet wasn't there. 3 pellets has a kick to it but i don't think its that bad with the stock design. recoil seems more of a push than a sharp punch.

    Unusual take on a Diy textured rifle paint job.

    Actually bought that same stuff a few years ago to do my Marlin 880SQ but never got around to it. Looks good I may have to move it up the priority list for this winter.

    I have taken a few whitetails with my 7.5" Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt, I carried it in Colorado elk hunting a few times but never had opportunity to use it. I am shooting 345 grain hard cast @ 1200 fps, recoil is stout. I would go after any game in north america with that load. When I...

    I have never dealt with Greg Tannel but i have one of his rifles in 6.5wsm i bought used and it is a shooter for sure. I wouldn't hesitate to use him based on the rifle I have and the information I've seen about his quality of work.
