[Editor’s note] This is the biggest whitetail Doc has ever shot. He went into 2020 with a goal: He bought one buck-tag and waited for the right deer to come by. It took him and Officer Mike some effort, since they initially kept getting skunked. And with some analysis, they figured out why, Made some changes and…here is the result. …
Browning Euro-Bolt 270
Browning Euro-Bolt 270 Editors note: “Some readers commented in a previous post that Officer Mike’s hunting rifle looked like a shotgun and wondered the gauge and make. In reality it is a Browning Euro-Bolt chambered in 270 Winchester. Further, it is my understanding Officer Mike traded into this rifle, scope and ammo for the princely sum of…pregnant pause… $400. This …

Primer – So Your Student Has a Blaser
Shot this last week as a last minute request by an instructor friend of mine. Some students of his are getting ready for a big hunt and it turns out at least one Blaser R8 is being used. My friend has seen my Blasers and is a VERY experienced hunter, tactical shooter and instructor. But…he wanted a quick primer on …
Blaser Optics
Some have asked me about Blaser optics. Or if I will be trying Blaser optics? In short: No. IMO they are way too heavy. And too expensive for being that heavy. Until the weight comes down, I ignore them. As a businessman, I respect their desire to put the brand on the top of the rifle. Why cede those …

Suppressor Over-gasses AR-10: Resolution
Special note: Some minor audio issues with the popping since the wind was very high that day. 20+ mph. So this is a chapter 2 video to the original, “Suppressor Over-gasses AR-10”. The owner of the rifle has installed an adjustable gas-block which has given him the ability to control bolt speed. Additionally, while trying to diagnose the issue, he …
The Coyote Wars
Mike shares with us one of his recent Coyote culls. He doesn’t allow most pics to be published. But trust me, he is slaying these bad boys. The numbers they are pulling down just since the first of the year are impressive. But the hippies don’t want to know details, so the PD keeps it quiet. —Editor. Officer …
Zeroing Thermal Scope With Hand-Warmer
