CZ Model 457 Pro Varmint in .22LR. This rifle is topped with the @Mueller_Optics 8-32x44mm Tactical rifle scope. I`ve already picked-up two other barrels that can be swapped out. One in .22 Magnum and the other in .17HM2 (Mach2). Accuracy is proving to be very good with hunting ammo.

This Browning T-Bolt Maple is a fine example of the beauty that can be achieved in a modern firearm. This one is chambered in .17HMR and is very accurate. Browning released a number of maple stock firearms. I wish I had picked-up a lever-action and semi-auto as well.

The correct answer is a @RugersOfficial Super Redhawk in .22 Hornet! I know I only said one winner, but 4 people got it correct. If you are a winner, send me your name and address via private message. This was an Instagram only giveaway.

Circa 1904 B.S.A. Martini Cadet rebarreled and chambered by P.O. Ackley in .219 Zipper (not improved). It is topped by a Burris Fullfield 4-18 scope. Based on the Burris Fullfield scope release, I`m guessing the barrel / stock work was done in the late 1970s. I function tested the rifle using some Reed loaded ammunition with 40 and 50 grain VMax projectiles. It shot well and I`m pleased. A couple of other projects are wrapping up, so I`ll be able to really get this combo out into the field for testing, soon.

The answer to the question I posed on Sunday is... a Remington Model 700 Classic in .221 Fireball. I picked this one up locally here in the Boise area. It goes to show that you never know what`s floating around in people`s collections! There are winners here on IG and on our Facebook page. I`ll reach out to those who got the answer correct. #221Fireball

Who`s shooting a 5.7? This is the @palmetto_state_armory Rock Pistol, topped with one of the @AthlonOptics red dots, with a @Griffin_Armament Checkmate HD suppressor. Perfect setup for finishing coyotes and stopping the occasional rogue ground squirrel!

Varmints are starting to pop up. Ground squirrels on farm fields are fair game on day one! Take your kids out hunting. It is a great way to get them involved. @@CacheCarlson setup his son`s CZ Scout with a suppressor and bipod, for quiet hunting. You can here the "pop" of the bullet hitting the squirrel!

Imagine what the original owner of this rifle felt like when they picked-up it up in 1934. This Winchester Model 62 pump action rifle in S/L/LR is a great specimen of the firearms being produced at the time. Yes, it functions. Yes, I will be varmint hunting with it next week. @winchesterrepeatingarms

Anyone seeing these? CCI says they are their AR Tactical rounds with no copper plating. Cheap @ 6 per. @cciammunition

Testing out some @SonusModerators on the @RapidAirWorx_Official HM1000 Mini airgun in .25 caliber. Compact and now QUIET, topped with a @DNT_Optics Zulus optic for recording day hunts! Pests beware! Thanks to @IdahoAirgun for letting us try the moderators.

Of the three different CZ rimfire rifles I acquired recently, I`ve decided to keep the CZ 457 Pro-Varmint in .22LR. This thing is HEAVY for a rimfire, but it will be mostly shot from a bench off a bag. Which one would you have chosen? My choices were the CZ 457 At-One (.22LR), the CZ 457 Combo (.22LR & .17HMR) or the Pro-Varmint. @czusafirearms @czguns

New (to me) stock for the Ruger 10/22 Magnum! The Revolution thumbhole stock was in stock online, in used condition. It fit perfectly and looks really good!

I had a great time chatting with Johnny Mack from @soulseekersnation and Flat Land Sam during the 2025 SHOT Show in Las Vegas last month (January 2025). We had a great time chatting about varmint hunting, Texas hunting, including hog hunting, cartridges, thermals and firearms. Check it out on Spotify (LINK IN BIO):

THIS MAY NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE OUR SITE FOR A LONG TIME. THERE WERE ISSUES AFFECTING OUR ABILITY TO UPDATE THE WP SOFTWARE, PLUGINS & EVEN SOME ARTICLE SETTINGS. EVERYTHING HAS FINALLY BEEN FIXED AND I HAVE UPDATED THE ENTIRE SITE. THIS MEANS THAT I NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO UPGRADE OUR THEME & ADD SO MUCH MORE TO THE SITE! STAY-TUNED!
Swipe Left for more pictures. Remember this guy (2nd picture)? My buddy, Dave, hammered him the other night off the tree stand I was using when I was down in Texas. Picture #3 is the moment the 55 grain VMax hit the boar. It had some good cutters under all that chunky face! Like clockwork, though, another big boy has already moved into his property.

I spent 7 hours scouting the backcountry of Utah on Superbowl Sunday. I mapped out two separate routes where we can call and complete almost a figure 8 over 60 miles. Lots of sign and @OnxHunt waypoints, should render good results. I am just getting started on my winter rockchuck scouting, too!

24 Varminter Update!
Ugh!! One pulled shot ruined my group! I will say that the factory Hornady 75 grain Match #22ARC Ammo shoots fantastic out of my @UpriverPrecisionArms .22 Grendel bolt-action rifle and most of the other rifles we`ve tried it in.
@HornadyMfg #22Grendel #varminthunting #CoyoteHunting #rockchuckhunting #BadgerHunting
@UpriverPrecisionArms just completed @CacheCarlson `s new Howa Mini-Action based, .224 Grendel chambered rifle. We got an invite to shoot at the Parma range from our buddy, @FreeDiver474 and took advantage of their long-range target setup. After accuracy testing different loads (handloaded and factory) at 100 yards, Cache took it out to 700 yards consistently! Upriver are the same folks that also built my bolt-action Howa .224 Grendel. More to come on these two rifle builds. Part One will be the breakdown of the parts and build. Part Two will be the hunt report.

We receive messages and comments every week asking us to cover more rimfire content. These are what we are working on for 2025! The question is, will it be enough to scratch that rimfire itch? 😂

My new "Coup De Grace" pistol, the Browning Buckmark Micro Bull SR .22LR Pistol with threaded barrel. Small and easy to pack on my chest, for coyotes, etc that are not quite out for the count. A couple of years ago, I had my boot across the neck of a very pissed off coyote. An inch or two more and he would have chomped on my leg. I`d rather not do that again.

Normally, the grass and weeds cover up the damage caused by the ground squirrels in our area. This area burned last year, so it gives a rare look at the immense damage. Yes, some is caused by badgers digging out the holes. But, the majority is just ground squirrels doing their thing. Now, multiply this by 1000s of acres just in this area!
