Welcome to the online home of
"Gary in NH"!

Here is a picture of my Encore rifle. It is chambered for .357 Remington Maximum, is a 24" tapered barrel. Not to long ago I bought a used Fox Ridge .223 in the heavy barrel configuration, haven't had time to shoot it but come Spring those woodchucks had better watch out! These barrels are all from Fox Ridge Outfitters. I also have a Virgin Valley Custom Guns barrel chambered in 17 Remington. This barrel is also 24" long, standard taper, matte blue, and drilled for a scope mount. With this barrel I ordered one of their forearms along with their hanger bar system. I have recently purchased a factory barrel 24"long, standard taper in the matte blue finish chambered in 260 Remington. This barrel is a shooter! Currently getting 3/4" @ 100yds using my handloads with Barnes bullets. Can't wait to get a deer in my sights. I have factory wood stocks, the T/C synthetic stocks and the new flex-tech stocks for the rifle. When shooting the rifle, I prefer the new flex-tech stocks, they seem to absorb more of the recoil than the synthetic and it is lighter in weight than the factory wood stocks.

I have been thinking of what cartridge to get my next Encore barrel chambered for. So far the 204 Ruger is tops on my list along with the new cartridge of 460 S+W Magnum!!!! The 460 has really got my juices flowing and every time I think about it I get the urge to call up a barrel maker and order one for myself....some day soon it will happen! The .243 Winchester, .22-250 Remington, 6mm Remington are other options near the top of my wish list. Don't hate me because I didn't list your favorite caliber, owning an Encore keeps you dreaming about the hundreds of different chamberings you can get for it. I seem to change my mind just about every day on what to get next. Maybe the 6mm-30/30, 20 Squirrel, or the 17 Javalina, 20 Fireball or..........How about a 50 Alaskan???

ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP US TO DEFEND OUR GUN RIGHTS!
If you enjoy hunting, target shooting, gun collecting, or any other form of the shooting sports then I hope...no pray...that you have joined one of the many different organizations that help us to protect our rights as stated in the US CONSTITUTION. If you have not joined or supported one of the many organizations, please follow my link to a list of those groups who help us fight to retain our rights. Every day that we let those in power whittle away at our rights, is another day that we become an unarmed society with no means to protect ourselves, no means to hunt and enjoy a great heritage of ours, and no way to remind the politicians that they are there to work for us, not their own personal agenda! If you know of any other group or organization that is helping us to defend our rights, please send me their web address and I will include them in a future update of my pages.

Well, we all know that firearm safety is of the upmost importance to all who participate in this wonderful sport of ours. In the June 2001 issue of HANDGUNS (a publication of emap-usa), they had a page that had a list of the "TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GUN SAFETY". I have reprinted those commandments here for you! Please use them every time you are enjoying our shooting sports.

This is a true account of gun confiscation, it happend in the area in and around where I currently live. Many people were shot and killed by government troops while standing up for their rights. This took place many years before I was born, but if I were alive at that time, I can guarantee that I would have been one of those who opposed the Governor!

A friend of mine from the Go Go Varmint Go Forum wrote this piece. It is about a way of life that some have forgotten ...... but most importantly, that many still remember! Lets keep memories like this one alive as we make new memories to pass on to the generations that will come after us.

Here is a story I got from somewhere on the net. It is a story that we all hope will never ever happen.

Another story about the Second Amendment. This one I found on the webpages of the BACKWOODS HOME MAGAZINE. This one is well worth the effort to pass it on to your friends and to those who make the laws!

I am not sure where or when this was written but for those who love our country and would give the ultimate sacrifice to defend Her, this poem is very dear to their patriotic heart.

Every once in a while I hear about a situation that took place in a Houston, TX warehouse. When I first read the article it had me riveted and excited about learning how to shoot and reload more accurately. If you need any kind of insperation, or have heard about Houston and want to read what it is all about, just follow this link and read the article for yourself!
