In my opinion the small ring mausers make one fine sporting rifle as they are much lighter and have a shorter action than the large ring 98, now the small rings cannot be rechambered to the magnum cartridges due to the reduced length and weaker reciever, but in my opinion magnums are seldom needed. ...

I do agree that the term may often be overused, and many of these surplus firearms were so affordable that it was a very economical way of having a hunting rifle so its understandable making a rifle into a better hunting companion at that time. Now I generally use the term for shoddy work. A well do...

These Kyber pass gunsmiths are extraordinarily good considering their methods of manufacture, I once saw a video of one melting leaf springs and then casting tokarev frames right in the sand floor of his shop. It is also very interesting to see some of their nicer copies and even some of the cruder ...

Quite the wealth of information on these sights on here as of late! The tangent sights are very interesting to me and I would very much like to add one to my collection, I am trying to find one to put on my rifle that came with no handguard or sight. I currently have a 1901 sight and handguard on it...

When reading the description before the pictures I was worried of the creation I may see well scrolling down, but it actually turned out quite well and definitely would be passable. I prefer the Montana peak style myself, but after scrolling through many Spanish american war pictures I saw a variati...

We have an abundance of ticks also, fortunately for whatever reason there has not been a Lyme disease case caused by a Montana tick, all 11 cases last year were bit by ticks out of state. We do have rocky mountain fever although it is rare, I was bit by a tick last year and found a few on me this ye...

All the above pictures were of whitetails except for my Mule deer picture that I had shot, it does take an eye to distinguish them in pictures but in the field they bound like a antelope, the whitetail up here can be very sizeable but a Mule deer with a spread of 25 inches or more is not uncommon, t...

I have not heard of the screwworms before so I'm unsure if they were a problem here or not, the whitetail deer here are struggling with Chronic Wasting disease as the reintroduction of the wolf and reduction of logging has driven many deer to winter in massive congregations on private land. The logg...

Thank you! I only hunt public land in Montana which is very high hunting pressure as of late, our town has quadrupled population in the last 10 years and good hunting has became quite scarce compared to the days when I was just starting. When I first moved out at 18 my then girlfriend now wife bough...
