Rifle Trouble-Shooting and Handloading

by John Barsness

One early October day Eileen and I went to the Virgil Binkley Shooting Complex, to try some new handloads, shoot some new-to-us rifles, and sight in other rifles for Montana’s big game season.  It was a perfect day for shooting, cool enough so that barrels didn’t get hot quickly, and almost completely calm.  Turned out, it was just the calm before the storm--or just another day at the range.  

It all depends on how you handle your rifle’s little mysteries.

Soft cover, 324 pages, 54 b&w photos, $24.50.
Ever wish you could do more to straighten out your favorite rifle?  Peek over the shoulder of someone who’s been doing it for a while?  Successfully?   Here’s your key to John’s workbench and his  thought process.

Obsessions of a Rifle Loony

John Barsness has written for every major hunting magazine published in North America, and some not so major. More importantly he’s known among a few of his close friends as the Bull Goose Rifle Loony. He wears the title proudly.

Here is a collection on John’s musings about hunting, guns, bullets, and such, some new and some published in places you may not have a subscription to. (Have you had trouble keeping up with his travels the last two years? Well, here’s your chance to catch up!)

Rifle Loony Hats

Despite some controversy about the preferred word to describe a person who really likes sporting rifles (afficionado, enthusiast, fan and other politically correct suggestions have been made), the majority of readers prefer the term rifle loony, used in many of my articles—and now, those of many other writers and rifle lovers everywhere.  (Available in cobalt blue, red/white & blue, a tasteful blaze orange, and camo.)
