THE PRONGHORN ANTELOPE is not the most difficult of beasts to hunt, but there is an increasingly widespread misconception that taking one involves shooting at distances just short of an Olympic marathon course. You can do this if you wish. You can even call it hunting if you want to; it's still a free country…sort of. But the facts are much different.
This was a very well written article that covers the subject completely. An antelope hunt is a great way to introduce new hunters to big game hunting at a reasonable cost.
I hadn’t expected to shoot the new Benelli Vinci for a while yet, but when I walked into the clubhouse last night, there was one in the gun rack. It was a rep’s sample that Rick, the gun buyer at our local Scheel’s store, was trying out. First thing about the Vinci: it’s no better-looking in real life than it is in pictures. The next guy through the door of the clubhouse after me pretty much summed up everyone’s reaction: “What the f*** is that?!?” he demanded.
I’ve shot probably ten times as much .30/06 ammo over my career as I have .270. Just about all of the guns I test for the magazine are chambered for the ’06. That’s because it’s the most popular and useful cartridge around, and with the huge variety of ammo and bullets available, you’re bound to find something that works for any given rifle.

Bourjaily: Guess What? I Shot The Vinci34
I hadn’t expected to shoot the new Benelli Vinci for a while yet, but when I walked into the clubhouse last night, there was one in the gun rack.

Any shotgun that I consider spending $1,500.00 for better have very nice wood.

I would think the Winchester 101 would be at the lower end og the group. After all Herter's copyed it.
Petzal: .270 vs. .30/06 Revisited. Again.180
Well, this one got opened up again (actually, it never closes) so here’s what I can put forth:
I’ve shot probably ten times as much .30/06 ammo over my career as I have .270. Just about all of the guns I test for the magazine are chambered for the ’06. That’s because it’s the most popular and useful cartridge around, and with the huge variety of ammo and bullets available, you’re bound to find something that works for any given rifle.
I split the differance and love the 25-06 with 115 grain Nosler bullets.

I would have to add theme from 'Gunsmoke' to the list.
