Though I can't say I have any experience with that set up, you post reminds me of Tom Gresham's Gun Talk that I listen to on the satellite radio when ever I get the chance to hear him. He puts on a good show and seems a pretty fair guy. http://www.guntalk.com/site.php (its on XM Channel 166 sunday e...

Yeah, I envy that. I woke up to a couple inches of wet snow these last couple mornings. Shooting ground squirriels seems a long time from now. The badlands and the colored buttes of that country are rugged and yet very pretty, I used to drive through there from time to time and always wondered what ...

The camera I use is an OLYMPUS Stylus 720 SW, 7.1 Megapixel. I've had it for about 3 years now and the features that sold me on it were the Shockproof (5ft drop) and Waterproof (10ft Depth). I tested both, (dropped 4 feet onto concrete by accident) and used the underwater feature. http://i174.photob...

If all the cases were loaded with the same bullets, brass and primers, you should be able to weigh them to determine which is what powder charge. Then just put them back in the ammo box by weight. I had hoped to be able to do this but the brass weights vary to much to be able to tell what the powde...

What is the real name of the burrowing varmint that you love to shoot as opposed to the local name used?? And also when are they active?? In my home area of south eastern Saskatchewan we had vast amounts of what we called gophers. Thier real name is Richardson Ground Squirrel, we also had some Thirt...

Springtime and ground squirrel shooting seems like a very long wait. I don't bird or do any big game hunting anymore so this is a sad time for me So here are a few photos from this past summer that maybe can help others cope with the horrible withdrawal symptoms that I am going through myself. http:...

Got this from Chuck Hawks site..... http://www.chuckhawks.com/204_ruger.htm The trajectory of the 32 grain V-Max bullet, zeroed for a maximum bullet rise of 1.5", should look like this: +0.1" at 50 yards, +1.1" at 100 yards, +1.5" at 150 yards, +1.1" at 200 yards, -0.3"...

Usually the weight of the gun and light recoil enable me to see the hits, but not if I am using to much magnification. Its nice to crank up the power so the target is filling the scope but then even a small amount of recoil can move your line of sight away from the delightful spectacle that the impa...

I had never noticed it before but sure enought there is one fluttering by in the lower left between grain bin roofs. No surprise though our farm had dozens of the filthy things. One gun shot and they all took to flight. There were about 10 bins in a row some with bin lids closed that they sit on and...

Yes the pigeon was 2 with one shot, unintentional. All I seen was feathers in the scope after the shot, but those watching said I had got both. Later we found 3 feet amoung the carnage. I believe what is misteaken for a whole (live) bird is a large part that exits the stage to the right very rapidly...

Here are a couple videos from last summer A pigeon on a grain bin roof. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/surfclod/th_pigeon.jpg And a gopher, (Richardson Ground Squirrel) our local species of praire dog. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/surfclod/th_gopher.jpg I hope these work, its my fi...

Chris from Calgary Alberta, being a welder has me stuck in the city but a country boy at heart. Growing up on a 3500 acre farm ensured lots of hunting and shooting since childhood. I've had a Savage 12 in .204 for a couple years now, love it, love the effect on varmits. Really looking to develope a ...
