Lots of good shooting.  Lots of destruction.  Thinning out the population that was overrunning the land.

This goes to show that working with land owners can be good for both you and them.

Enjoy!

I know, I know…this is not a squirrel or varmint-class rifle!

But, Oh – what a beauty!  Any gun nut would love to get their hands on this lever action!

Henry Repeating Arms .45-70 Lever Action

Reading some of the other write-ups about this it seems there is a LOT of interest in this rifle. Introduced by the U.S. Army in 1873, this cartridge was first known as the .45 Government.  This is a big game rifle – suitable for deer to some of the largest game you can take.

Folks in bear country up North in Canada and Alaska will love this gun.

And, coming from Henry, you can bank on an excellent quality and that classic Henry smooth lever action.

I think this gun alone would be a good reason to get the latest Henry Rifles Catalog.  You can get yours free by clicking the .45-70 above.

Stop drooling…

Now – back to our varmint discussions….

Here’s a fun yet practical .22 LR rifle.

Made by Henry Rifles and is excellent quality.

You might want to keep one in the car, in your pack, for camping, or just plinking.  Take it out on your squirrel hunts.  Give it to a kid and teach ‘em right.

A great rifle to have for bugging out, too.  The Henry Survival Rifle AR-7 stores just about anywhere and is waterproof.

You can read all about this survival rifle and drool all over the rest of the Henry Rifles by getting their beautiful Henry Rifle Catalog.

Enjoy!

.17 HMR V-Max Bullet vs. Canned Goods

Here’s a fun video using a .17 HMR V-Max bullet shot at many different canned goods.

It’s neat because they show both the actual shot and a slow-motion replay of all shots.

It finishes with images of many of the cans and the destruction it caused.

Enjoy!

55 gr Ballistic Tip bullets at 4240 fps!
110 to 300 yards

Amazing destruction.  This Winchester 1885 in 243 has the 28 inch barrel.

The video is a little shaky but the shooting is worth watching!

Enjoy…

Here’s a pretty good review of the Savage Model 93R17 .17HMR Rifle with Heavy Barrel and Thumbhole stock.  He put a nice Nikon scope on it as well.

The reviewer shoots groups of .17gr Hornady Ballistic Tips and CCI 20 gr Game Points.
Nice rifle.  Watch the review and see what you think.
Enjoy!

If you enjoy long range shooting and prairie dog shooting, along with complete destruction of these animals, then you must watch this video!  There’s some great shooting and and excellent footage.

Enjoy…..

Long Range Varmint Hunting using a 6.5K rifle.

6.5K is a 7mmRSAUM necked to 6.5mm/37* shoulder. Using 140′s 120′s 107/s and 95grn bullets in the 6.5mm calibers.

Some VERY long shooting here.  We’ll done.

Enjoy the shooting and the thinning of the varmints….

Do ya like prairie dog hunting?

There are tens (probably hundreds) of thousands of prairie dogs in the prairies of South Dakota that need to be thinned out.

Take a high powered rifle, a good rifle scope and lots of ammo and have some fun…and help the landowners in the process.

This video was shot in the Sioux Indian Reservation with their permission and direction from one of their guides.

You’ll have to get past the 40 second lead-in on the video before you get to the prairie dog shooting.

Enjoy!

Long range hunting takes a steady rest, knowing your ballistics and trajectories and a precision shooting system that’s well fitted and tested.

Watch this:

I recently became aware of this book written by a marksman who has 20 years experience training soldiers how to shoot accurately and consistently in all kinds of environments.  He has taught on many different platforms and fully understands what it takes to accurately group shots for consistent hits every time.  Their lives depended on it!

Take a look and see what you think:

“Achieve Rifle Accuracy by First Achieving Rifle Precision”

If you own a rifle, you should be able to hit what you aim at! More so, you should hit exactly where you aim every time you squeeze the trigger. Accuracy or the ability to hit your target at any range and under any condition is dependent upon many variables:

• Before you can have rifle accuracy, you must first have Rifle Precision!
• Rifle Precision is the ability to consistently shoot the same way providing tight shot groups every time.
• Tighter rifle shot groups will allow more accurate adjustments to your rifle sights as you zero in your rifle at any range.
• I want to reinforce the fundamentals of consistency which are the Fundamentals of Marksmanship!

Sample Target

Do your Shot Groups look like A, B, C or D?

Maybe you want to start UFO or Alien hunting?

OK – this isn’t about shooting squirrels or varmint hunting – but….

Watch this video.  These same lights were seen over El Paso and Manhattan.  Riddle me this, Batman!

Back to varmint (and maybe alien) hunting next.

Move along, move along….nothing to see here
