I find it hard to understand why folks ignore danger and go to places where this sort of thing can happen without carrying the means to protect themselves. Here in the UK we cannot carry weapons for self defense so most folks have no choice. :x Complaicancy. Many in here in US (and I'm sure the pre...

Such a shame.

An unarmed human in the woods really is just prey. The predators usually walk on two legs, though.

People have survived cool periods before and they'll do it again if need be.

I love to ice fish, so it's no big thing for me.

Jason_W

Maybe global warming will cancel out the next ice age

We have a huge chunk of National forest land here in Vermont as well as some sizeable state forests. I also notice that a lot of people around here don't want to get too far off the beaten path. The problem is that it's all dependent upon snow. I personally can't follow a deer track for too long wit...

#2 Hunting like you say they do requires a lot of land, several miles of contiguous land probably. In the country I hunt in, I have about 2 miles of creek bottom I use for whitetails. In the middle of that is about 300yds of property I don't have permission for. they actually admit this as a limita...

For those who are unfamiliar with the Benoits, they are family from Vermont who are known for their abilities to consistently bag trophy bucks. Over Christmas, I splurged a bit and picked up a book about their hunting methods. I was surprised at how simple it is. Basically, they find a track and fol...

If I was in the market for a big bore rifle and already had a .44 mag handgun, I'd probably opt for the .444 since the bullets (not the cartridges) are the same for both. Also, if with handloads your guide gun can handle 200 yard shots, maybe the .444 can handle 300 yard shots. It certainly would be...

Jason, Don't confuse global climate change due to human activity with our ability to poison the planet. The latter we can do quite easily although we are getting better at cleaning up our act. Our impact on long term climate is practically nil, and only our arrogance could imply we have than much i...

The things we do may not be so good for us, but the planet just doesn't care. When we have gone the way of the dinosaurs, and we will, nature and the earth will still be here and the weather won't matter. :) Very true. But my self preservation instinct would like us to not do ourselves in with such...

Am interested in these so called dead lakes-where they are -what caused the problem, and if this is only a recent problem. Dave It's not a recent but an ongoing one. I remember reading about it from a print source. I can't provide a net link, but if I get some time today I can probably hunt one up.

Jason_W

I tend to agree with Jason. It's common knowledge that the climate changes regardless of what we do. But its also pretty silly to think that what we do to the environment isn't haveing any effect. Doubt it'll matter in the long term as far as the planet goes. We probably wont be here long enough, a...

People tend to misunderstand what global warming means. It's kind of an outdated term in the scientific community having been replaced with global climate change.

After a close friend missed a deer this year by shooting a vine, I've been planning my own "brush tests" for this spring. Basically, measuring the deflection of a few specific rounds after passing through brush. I know these tests have been done, but not to my satisfaction. I want to know...

I'm actually planning on investing in some of those bullet test tubes. They can be recast and reused almost infinitely. Thanks for the offer, though.

The 30-30 as a control is a good idea as Terry said it is a well know constant. How about some .45colt out to 150yrds from a lever? Well, I don't have a .45 colt, but if I can get a loaner I'll definitely test it. Unfortunately, since I'm not an exceptionally wealthy man, I'll be limited to the gun...

I WOULD NOT WANT TO DISCOURAGE YOUR ENTHUSIASM IN ANY WAY BUT FOR OTHER THAN YOUR OWN EDIFICATION ANYTHING YOU DO ALONG SUCH LINES WILL DUPLICATE THAT WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN WELL FOR MANY YEARS.

As soon as the weather thaws things out again, I'm planning on conducting a series of terminal ballistics tests of every cartridge I can get my hands on.

I actually see more pump action Remingtons than anything else. A lot of old 760 Gamemasters and some newer 7600s. Bolt actions are next in line and levers and semi-autos are last.

Cool.

I couldn't find any kind of website for the company, so I wondered if they had gone defunct.

Jason_W

Up to a year or two ago a company called Gibbs was selling rechambered Enfield rifles in .308 Win and 45/70. I though this was a cool idea, but my gun money at the time was going toward leverguns. Now, I can't find the link to company. Did anyone else hear of this company. Did they go out of busines...

I'm not sure that "tree hugger" is the right term for these people. Naive and out of touch sad sacks who believe in the Disney version of nature is more appropriate. In many ways I'm a tree hugger in that I would rather open land stay open land rather than turn into a housing development o...

If you want gun friendly states, check out northern New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine).

Vermont does not require a permit for concealed carry and NH and ME are both shall issue states.

I was trying CCI subsonics (man those are accurate little buggers and quite too).

If I load 5 rounds into the 10 round mag, 4 will feed and the last one won't. If I put more than 5 in, none will feed.

It's weird.

Could it be a defective magazine?

Jason_W

I bought a new Savage Mark II (that accutrigger is really cool) and it's real accurate, but It doesn't seem to like to feed from the magazine into the chamber

I guess I'll call the company. I hope it's an easy fix because I really like the gun otherwise.

Ok, you guys got me. I don't need another .22, but I want one, and oddly, I can afford one this month.

jason, If this is a older Model 60 or one of the variants it can be returned to functioning condition for a bit of work and funds. Marlin has improved the feed and ejection system on those and they work very well now. This model was and probably is prone to problems when the actions get really dirt...
