    Food plots for deer

    First whatever u plant get seed designed for deer. ( cow clover is not good deer clover) clover is a great spring food plot but goes dormant in hot dry summer. In southern ny season it could again go dormant before hunting season. If you are looking for a hunting plot I suggest one of the...

    Prison closings, you're still in New Yorkistan, why?

    I understand family of inmates didn’t like Ogdensburg prison. A few miles from Canadian border, a looong way from downstate, and in a mild winter you only see 20 below not 30. All good reasons to keep it. But as it’s in a republican county ( Elise Stephanic district) closing it is...

    Precision/long range shooting

    Out to 700 yards I found 308 fine. Past 700 yards its not that the .308 can’t get hits, but I found I got more hits easier with 6.5 CM. MK44 asked the right question

    Mils or MOA ???

    I started long distance shooting (400 to 1000 yards) with a vortex scope that had MOA turrets and a MIL retical. I always thought elevation in inches but always held windage in MILS so it worked for me. but I did switched it out for a scope that had a zero stop that is Mils for retical and...

    Seriously thinking of downsizing

    Your last post has it. Ten years ago I decided to not add a gun until I sold one. Then I went to funding a new purchase by selling. I sold three hunting rifles to pay for my PRS rifle and scope. Then I sold off several when I downsized in move from MA to PA. Sold another rifle to buy...

    Windage Adjustable Scope Rings

    I have twice used windage adjustable rings in situation similar to yours. One was a savage 99 in 300 savage that was home drilled and tapped a bit off ( not by me). Two things I did to make that one come out right. First I used a six foot piece of straight 1/2” aluminum rod to get the...

    Oregon passes ridiculous gun storage laws.

    This situation is worse than just being on the west coast. I left the PRM (people’s republic of Massachusetts) because of laws worse than this. In the PRM not only did guns need to be locked, but also ammunition and ammunition components. Loan someone your truck and a single piece of...

    what is a good scope for hunting for a 12 gauge?

    Assuming it will be shooting slugs for deer, my favorite is 2 power leupold for woods hunting. Ive killed a few inexpensive scopes on slug guns with their stout recoil. By a quality scope with a good warranty (that hopefully you won’t need.). You don’t need a lot of magnification for...

    If you had a choice, what LONG RANGE caliber would you choose

    I have shot both .308 and 6.5 CM out to 1000 yards and killed multiple deer with both calibers (250 -300 yards shots on deer) At the range on targets the two calibers I find equal out to 700 yards. Past 700 yards it is easier to get hits on steel with 6.5, and the farther out you go the bigger...

    What to build ? (AR Lowers)

    No problem. Build a dedicated .22 rim fire. Now you won’t have to start reloading a new caliber! Go with a CMMG conversion kit and barrel. Buy the better mag adapter to use S&W .22 magazines.

    CMMG 22LR Dedicated AR Build

    Regarding failure to feed jams or poor ejection it almost always is dirty feed ramp and chamber. .22 LR is dirty. Crud will build on ramp and in chamber. I rarely clean .22 barrels but the feed ramp and chamber will need almost a polishing to get clean. When I’m practicing for an Appleseed...

    CMMG 22LR Dedicated AR Build

    Thats it. Before you put the .22RF collar on your adapter watch the CMMG video on how to do it without damaging your adapter. Either on cmmg web site or YouTube. I have put close to 10000 rounds through mine. Lots of fun, and kids / grandkids and “old kids” all want to shoot them. I...

    CMMG 22LR Dedicated AR Build

    NYS to the rescue. Giving $3 million to bail out restaurants

    There is a problem with your math. It is 3 million divided by the 10 Restuarant s of FUAC’s friends so $300k to each. Each friend will then donate $150k to FUAC’s re-election campaign. So equitable distribution. /S

    Building a featureless AR

    Two key points made above 1. Thordsen blemished stocks are great value. (Especially as you are going to camo this build correct?) 2. I always look for unthreaded barrels for target or featureless builds. It takes a little searching to find them but eliminates whole hassle of covering...

    A DUI in Pennsylvania could cost you your Second Amendment rights

    Hanging steel targets

    I agree with all of the above especially going to regular bolts instead of carriage bolts. Your carriage bolt failed at thin part of head. At one club I belong to the big draw is shooting steel from 200 to 500 yards. The steel gets shot a lot and the only hangers they use are the ones that...
