My hunting rifle and Katyn forest.

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Oleg Volk

I own many rifles, but I only hunt with one of them. Feinstein’s latest effort to disarm Americans would ban it. It would ban that entire shape of rifle (bullpup) as well as that entire category (semi-auto with a box … Continue reading →

The mis-directed fetish of marksmanship.

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I am a great fan of armed and trained civilians. But I’d like to point out that the “hundreds of thousands of deer hunters” are no military snipers and do not overmatch regular infantry. A very well trained rifleman with … Continue reading →

Combination guns

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk

How practical are over and under rifle/shotgun combinations for hunting in the US? I am looking at the older 410/22 and newer 308/12ga or 223/20ga combos. Do game laws ever conflict with the ability to have shot and bullets available … Continue reading →

Riots vs. pogroms

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I hear quite a few worried comments about the possibility of civil unrest in the US. Looking at the precedents, I see three directions it could take: riots, pogroms and freelance criminal activity. The latter, individually perpetrated crime, is what … Continue reading →

A scope for a deer rifle

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Don’s Winchester 70 in .270 gets just under 1MOA with his handloads. It seemed appropriate to top it with a better scope than the scary optical contraption it had originally. Now Bambi, Bambi’s mom and all other relatives are in … Continue reading →

KSG = Kills Serious Game?

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Oleg Volk

Now that KSG can handle 2.75″ and 3″ shells, it is even more versatile for dangerous game hunting. Too small for most African dangerous game, it’s quite sufficient for almost anything in North America, especially with the right ammunition.
