      Help - Herter's Model XK3 .308 Bolt Won't Close with Cartridge In

      I am seeking some Team MDS help before surrendering and going to a gunsmith... I've got a beautiful rifle that I'm trying to get up and running. It's a Herter's Model XK3, which is a Mauser type rifle made for Herter's stores in the mid-20th century. I can't decide if it was made by BSA in...

      Recommendations for youth shotgun?

      I'm going to get a shotgun for my son to use next hunting season. He's been "hunting" with an unloaded bb gun in the duck blind since he was 3. This year I'm letting him have a few BBs to shoot at the ducks/geese while I shoot them with real shot. Next week I'm going to take him to an outdoor...

      Pre-Season Hunting Chores -- Share Your Approach

      I started hunting in 2007 as a young adult. There was no hunting tradition in my family before me. As I've become more experienced as a hunter, I've learned the importance of preparation. I now have my own small property for bow hunting whitetail. I also belong to a waterfowl hunting club that...

      Most Comfortable Ladder Tree Stand You've Ever Sat In?

      What is the most comfortable tree stand you've ever sat in? It's the time of year when I think about deer hunting while I'm fishing and crabbing. And time of year to do a little property maintenance. I'm going to buy 3 or 4 for a new property and want to get some good ones. Once they're...

      Valuing Inherited Collection?

      Hi - I am inheriting a collection of firearms from a relative who passed away. I am wondering if anyone has advice on the best way to get a rough idea of each item's value. I was thinking of looking up completed auctions on gunbroker as a starting point. But that wouldn't really take into...

      Game plan to take a particular buck?

      Hi - Last year during muzzle loader season I had a very nice buck come into range. Unfortunately, my rifle failed to fire (cap snapped...no bang...buck ran off!). I didn't see him again all year. A couple weeks ago I put a camera in the area and a mineral block to try to see who is around...

      What's your straight walled cartridge deer rig?

      I know this might belong in "The Depot" but since this is hunting specific, I'm posting here. Is anyone planning to take advantage of the new firearms regulations this year? I was very supportive of the change. My Mossberg 500 has been finicky the past couple of seasons, so I decided to...

      Favorite 22 + Scope Combo for Squirrels?

      Hi - I've always hunted squirrels with a shotgun but next year I'd like to get out there with a scoped .22. Can anyone recommend a good combo? I'm leaning towards a 10/22 takedown with a 1x10 scope. I've owned a regular 10/22 for years so I'm also thinking of just putting a scope on it...

      1948 LC Smith (Restored by Turnbull)

      I've got a 1948 LC Smith Field 16 gauge that was restored by Turnbull last year. I got very lucky and won it in a raffle. Estimated value is ~$5-6k. Maybe a little more for some people, since it's engraved with some stuff that is specific to the club I won it through...
