Bell & Carlson has been a respected rifle stock builder for many years. When they introduced their line of Varmint/Tactical Medalist stocks I was excited not only because the stock appeared to have excellent ergonomics but also because the price point was so reasonable. Since its introduction, I’ve had the opportunity to test the Varmint/Tactical Medalist on multiple rifles and actions. Continue reading Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist Rifle Stock Review
I recently had the pleasurable experience of building my own custom target/long range rifle. Perhaps the most impressive part of my rifle is that it cost considerably less to build than buying a new Remington Sendero from Cabelas.

After I had my 2nd pair of Nikon Monarch Binoculars replaced due to breaking the eyepieces I knew I had to find a way to take better care of my binoculars. I am a big fan of carrying binoculars on a harness. It spreads the weight out, doesn’t put stress on your neck, prevents the binoculars from flopping, and still keeps them in a place that makes using them easy. When it’s cold I keep my binoculars zipped inside my coat and that protects them very well but in warmer weather they take a lot of abuse. The problem is that when I carry my binoculars on a harness they pick up all kinds of dirt, mud, dust, pine needles, sagebrush, etc in the eyepieces. Not only is this hard on the lenses but it is really tough on the pullout eyepieces. They don’t tend to work well when full of grit.

This Article is not meant to be a comprehensive experts guide to bullet casting. It is meant to be a good guide for the beginner who is just getting started.

I casted 2.5 lbs. lead bars by ladling molten lead alloy into large four cavity molds. I estimate that I have casted at least 500,000 lbs of lead. Enough to cast 14 million 250 grain 44 mag bullets. It was my experience casting bullets that helped me get the job. Continue reading Bullet Casting
