      45 cal SWC FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATION

      The flat pointed lead bullets they talk about are the "Keith" style bullets with a wide sharp leading edge. My experience hunting groundhogs with LSWC out of a 44 and 45 is not good. Unless a head shot they would just run back in the hole. It just ice picked them. Reading up on it a hard cast...

      Spinning or casting rod?

      Like everything that has been said. Throwing heavier lures a casting rod it the way to go. The control you have riding your thumb on the spool is unmatched. It comes with a price of the backlash. A birds nest of unparalleled tangle that is unforgiving on the water. A spinning rod is more...

      Left Hand AR

      I got Mrs Eightshot627 a BCA left hand dual charger upper but even if you buy a complete upper you will want to disassemble and reassemble to very torque. https://www.mdshooters.com/showpost.php?p=5378647&postcount=4 Both so far had zero issues and are accurate.Not bad for sub $500 for the pair.

      franchi 28” semi auto

      It's a Franchi Affinity 3.5. Solid gun, it is between a Benelli and a Stoeger. It should be Italian made and quality.

      Best budget semi-auto

      As the owner of 5 Stoegers if you don't like to tinker take a look at the Franchi. They are smoother than the Stoeger and have the recoil spring up front like the Stoeger which makes it easier to clean if you drop it in the drink. That said, the last 2 Stoegers an M3500 and my son's M3020 have...

      Burris 2x handgun scopes

      I have a Burris 2x7 on a 22lr Contender and one on a 460S&W revolver. I also have a 3x9 on a 308 Encore pistol but they are no longer made. They hold up and have great field of view for pistol scopes but are a little on the heavier side. But the FOV and strength more then make up for the...

      Red Dot for Shotgun

      I put a Burris Fast Fire 2 on my turkey gun 4 years ago. 1 at 40yds, 1 at 20yds, 1 at 50yds. I had run out of adjustment on the fiber optic rifle type sights and the red dot seemed the best option.The super tight patterns of the new turkey loads really shines with the dot.

      .375 H&H, tell me about yours

      "New Pre 64" Model 70 Stainless Synthetic. Like my 460 S&W every time I take it out nothing shows up. Even though we have a couple of 300 Mag and a 338 Win mag dad wanted a 375 H&H.

      Remington 760 date code

      Maybe P D June 1957? It doesn't have the stock to be P 1967.

      Burris Fast Fire III Red Dot

      I have a FF2 on my 3.5in turkey gun. It hasn't given me any trouble in 5 years. Killed a bunch of turkeys and it kicks on both ends. I put a FF3 on Mrs. Eightshot627's AR and she has fun dumping mags LOL

      2020 Spring Turkey Thread

      Guess I just got lo lucky. Can't believe I called him away from a hen on the other side of a property line fence row. 22lbs 10.5 beard, 1in spurs. The lack of snow this year must have been easy on the beard

      Light heavy duty chair

      I have one of these. It is NOT light but built like a tank. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008MYG7UI/ref=cm_sw_r_apap_ZMAPS8qeROTft At 265 you're a light weight compared to me and I'm not worried about breaking this one. But it is NOT light. For hiking in and hunting where you need to stand...
