    FS: Remington XP-100 221 Fireball

    I love the fact that this is what Duncan Gilchrist carried to finish off goats while guiding Mountain Goat hunters in coastal AK.

    Suggestions for a quail gun?

    If you want an classy light semiauto, check out the Franchi 48AL in 20 or 28. They are sweet little guns.

    Gettysburg

    At least from the more recent conflicts, I have most enjoyed the books written by embedded authors/journalist. Just the right balance of objective observer and still in the nitty gritty. Have you read the Army at Dawn Series? It’s WW2, but an amazing narrative. Great balance of the general’s...

    Bourbon Connoisseurs

    I have seen it popping up quite a bit. Got a bottle a month or so ago. It is their Single Barrel, and if I remember correctly it is about 7yo whiskey. I have had a couple drinks out of mine.

    A little more off the beaten path, but if you can find it, definitely worth buying.

    Centerfire rifles - your path

    When I bought that rifle I had never killed a big game animal with anything other than archery equipment, but I went to college in Duluth, MN, and got to tag along on some moose hunts/packouts from the Boundary Waters. At the time it seemed like it would be a big part of my future, so when...
