Does anyone else have "strange" or "inconsistent" hearing? I can't hear squat in a crowded room. Just a din of noise. Mrs. YK has started to complain that I can't hear. But put me in the woods - I can hear a twig snap, the pitter patter of small game, and a lot of other things. ...

I have always wanted a Winchester 94 410 but they run around 1200-1500 here. At the price this company wants I would just but a real Winchester. I've seen the Hanic advertised for $1250 here, which is about $805 US. Winchester 9410s seldom come up here but when they do they're expen$ive. This one h...

Foxes were introduced into Australia in the mid 1800s for recreational hunting and spread rapidly throughout the country with significant impacts on native species, lambs, poultry, etc This is the result of a weekend shoot in the Williams district of WA, in March 2020. https://sportingshooter.com.au...

I had one with the cross bolt safety, a fine looking accurate rifle that would occasionally misfire due to light strikes - a rebounding hammer issue.
