Well, the issue appears solved on our end. My wife just said she is going to try the 7-08.

I thank all of you in helping us arrive at this decision.

You're right about only talking about the 260 Rem, and it's not sounding like it's up to the task at this moment. You're also right about about the accuracy. For some reason when you first wrote...

Which is pretty much my thinking. As for a one gun to do it all, that was probably overstated. I should have said, I would like one rifle that is incredibly accurate, lightweight, will put an...

7-08 is a cartridge in the 308 lineup I have no experience with, as it never seemed to do anything better than a 270 that I was already experienced with. Having said that, I really like the 270 and...

My wife and I have been looking into getting a pair of 260 Remington rifles, but I'm in a quandary as which barrel twist to use. Remington uses a 1/9" twist, which is adequate for the 120-130 gr....

I worked at a large gun store that sold the Cooper rifles after I left the steel industry for good. They had a huge selection and we had Cooper Days, when the original owner came to the shop. The...

Actually, it's not a very big company. I was surprised they had so few employees -- less than Smith and Wesson. Seeing their facilities in New York, I'd have guessed they had closed to 7,000. The...

As always, you hit the nail on head!

Dale Fricke Holsters. The best kydex I've ever used. I'll take it a step farther: The ONLY kydex I've ever truly liked. The first Kydex that is as fast to draw from as my old Gordon Davis Realist...

If non-resident, do what we did: we wrote the Colorado governor and told him we had changed our vacation plans for this year and always. We had plans to visit Colorado in May, just as we have done...

I can't help but think we'll never know the truth.

As for the arsenal, well, I guess all you folks on this forum are either terrorists or would-be school shooters, since we all know, according to...

Thanks Huntsman for the reality check. Unfortunately, I was pretty far along in life before I came to this simple, but effective solution.

CCH, I always figured my 12 gauge with Foster slugs was good to about 80 yards. Groups at 75 were mediocre at best. Probably what I'd expect from a smoothbore musket, maybe a tad better. I know a...

Smoothbore 12 gauge with Foster 1 oz. slugs, if sighted in at 25 yards, will be high at 50 yds, and on again at 75 yards. Low at 100, but I'm not sure how low. I heard recently to go with a 1" high...

That's because you have an open mind Ryan. That's maturity. You know, the stuff Elmbow was talking about :-) He and I have lots of it now! :-(

Now this is a good thing (or so we are told --...

I have no dispute with you on either how you are proceeding in your training, nor in having the shotgun by by the door. All sound reasoning.

Just one caveat: Put the shotgun away when not at...

Agree completely. Especially when the Benelli 1014 is the M4 civilian model for us,it is without the military retract stock and has a 14 1/2" LOP (way too long for modern technique, and almost...

By the way, D2, though having high chromium content, is not classified as a stainless steel. It is classified as a high carbon tool steel. The chromium helps it resist rust better than other tool...

Agree 100%. They hold an edge incredibly well too.

Pat, I thought the Marines were only using the Benelli M4 these days? I'd still rather carry the lighter weight pumps, though the Benelli is very impressive, but way out of my price league, for a HD...

I had the same impression!

Good to see you training her. Women are better spokespersons (PC term) than men in the gun control fight, as the left hasn't quite figured out how to bash them. She...

Agree with you on both Randall steels. O1, while it rusts easily, is still one of the best knife steels available. The stainless is merely 440C, and is not competitive. They are about 40 years out...

For something very small and light, but would be perfect for your stated needs, how about an old Gerber Pro-Guide Trout and Bird (item no.5501)? I have one NIB which was purchased some years ago. I...

Great looking knife! How much would one of those cost and have shipped to the U.S.? Also, what is Boehler M390 in AISI specifications?

Thanks Jim, good to know. I have both forms of Benedryl on hand. Had epinephrine once when the allergist tested me to see if I'd outgrown my allergy to penicillin (I hadn't!!!!), and don't care to...
