    Cabelas's Pine Ridge Scopes?

    My son has a 3x9 pine ridge on his ML with the trajectory compensating reticle. Reticle is thin, hard to see. Also eye relief is not very forgiving. Eye has to be aligned just so. I would not recommend the scope he has. I noticed that the new Cabela's ML scopes are called "Powderhorn". I...

    What is a good grease for the Endeavor Breech Plug

    I use Super Lube Synthetic Grease. www.super-lube.com I get it in 3oz squeeze tube. Seems to be about the same as the TC lube. 3oz will last a long time.

    Wisconsin DNR Spring Hearing

    The WI Muzzleloader Assoc. posted a Commentary in WI Outdoor News, coming out against a longer, later season and against the use of scopes. I believe they are a traditional club, not wanting to share the woods with hunters carrying modern MLs with scopes. I wrote a rebuttal to their commentary...

    Ramrods...Grrrrr

    I took the thimbles off my Genisis and ran some 180 grit sandpaper through, wraped around a dowel in my drill. Didn't take much to get a TC rod to fit. Used some cold blueing to recoat thimbles. Looks and works great. Was a easy fix.

    What happened to my post?

    I had one of the 95 CVA Eclipse. I had to send it back for the new barrel. I fired several hundred rounds through that gun without a problem. I never loaded more that 90 grains. It would shoot MOA with most any powder, bullet combo that I shoved in it. Never had a problem. Always enjoyed...

    The Retriever, for bore cleaning

    Do any of you use The Retriever to clean your ML. I am thinking of buying one. Are they worth the money? Do they wear out? Is it a must have item?

    Dumbest thing ??

    Last Sunday, my last chance to ML hunt for the season, dosed off about 4pm. At 4:15 had a nice buck snorting at me from 20 yds. 2 jumps and he was gone. No time to react for a shoot. All I could do was laugh.
