  • The Best!

    Mark and Ryan are a class act! Not too many people jell as well as these two guys. They really know their stuff, and have a lot of fun talking about it. Not only is it educational but also entertaining. I think it would be fun to hear them answer YouTube comments sometime.

  • Episode 389

    I listed to your podcasts weekly. When you were discussing stalking rifles I started thinking of the rifles in my safe and what really qualifies as a stalking rifle. Then you mentioned the Blaser K95. I have a K95 in 7X57 Mauser. It’s a wonderful lightweight rifle. I hunted with it in Wyoming several years ago on a mule deer hunt.

  • Where’s the pistols at??

    Enjoy the hosts, Love the podcast and the info found in it. Keeps me ready in and out of different seasons. I enjoy the budget rifle builds but I was curious why there is no budget pistol builds? Everyone likes a beater pistol to keep in truck for odd and ends??
