Very cool! I've had 2 or 3 "bockbuschflinte" combo guns in 12ga-over-222s over the years, but am without one now. On both my Valmet 412 and a Marochi (both had double triggers and were scoped 1-5X), I made several trips to shoot trap -- with the scope mounted on them! I did that to get pra...

I have a superbly accurate Triple Deuce; if I'd ever used it for deer (hunting from my fixed stand) I'd probably try a Nosler Partition bullet. Haven't done it yet -- 'cause I like my leveraction! (Savage 99A in .250 Savage)

Fortunately they taste the same as any other deer. Quite true. I shot a small 3 pointer one year -- 1 small point on one side, 2 spikes on the other -- as he had walked right up on me... The guys in deer camp teased me that I'd "Shot the village idiot..." and they were glad that his genes...

I find that some air rifles, particularly spring air rifles, are very sensitive as to how you hold them. If you are very consistent, your gun will shoot noticeably better. I’ve never thought about this with firearms but I’m wondering about it. I know that the more consistent you can be with a SAA t...
