Well I have rings and decided a period "correct" vx1 3-9 seeing the rifle was made in 1990. It's a shooter, 3 rounds to zero then 5 into 3/4 in at 100 yds. True to form someone always tries to...

I shoot the 50gr TTSX with my 1:14" 220 Swift and they're fantastic on deer. I pull the tips out which is very easy. Fantastic deer combination! 187078

My current trot with 53gr Barnes on all deer is simply amazing. Forgot how effective a pill and deadly it was to shoot. Just mows them down. Hardly any sound with the DPT.

Hi guys, We traded a 6 month old boar for a "giant" boar for the freezer, the pork stinks, and tastes like it smells. But being part Dutch, it will not go to waste, we don't have a dog, so that's...

Another bucket of 100+ year old war horse parts turned into a 1940s 45acp Delisle Commando carbine. This replica is pretty close to the real deal and took many hours of work. There was a couple of...
