Simo Hayha. He was a Finnish sniper with over 700 Soviet kills to his name. He had a confirmed 505 kills with an iron-sight Mosin Nagant and an additional 200 plus with a 9mm Suomi. He did all that in about 100 days that had very limited daylight hours. He averaged 7 kills a DAY. He...

You can disregard that statement as blatantly untrue. Most every firefighter individually and fire department collectively will take every reasonable risk possible to stop/control/contain a fire and limit the damage. In most cases they are highly trained and highly motivated to fight fire in a...

Obviously we need to regulate, license, control, and even possibly ban them. Oh the humanity. b

Close enough. Its a Iver Johnson Safety Automatic. The same kind of gun incidentally was used by Leon Czolgosz in the assassination of President McKinley. Your turn! b

Nope.

Guess its my turn. This shouldn't be too hard. b

Norinco CQ? b

Its the basic stainless model, the FSV I think? I originally set this rifle up as a tack driving squirrel gun and stuck with a 4.5power scope. However, the way the Marlin has been shooting with bulk ammo, I'm thinking that will be the squirrel gun and the Savage will be turned into a target...

Interesting. Having re-done the math now it still is a bit short of where I want it, but every little bit helps I suppose. What's really frustrating at the moment is that the $100 pawn shop Marlin Model 60 with the mediocre trigger and fixed 4 power BSA $15 gun show scope in dove tail...

And all this time I thought it was 42! ;) Thanks so much for the explanation. I was about to pull what little hair I have out last night trying to figure that out. If you can't tell, Math ain't my strong suit. I do have to admit I'm a bit discouraged by those numbers, but I suppose for...

Hello all, I've just gotten back from the range today and saved a couple of targets with 3 and 5 shot groups on them in order to check the accuracy of the rifles I was shooting. I'm quite happy with both of them as they were both able to shoot shotgun shells off a tree limb at 50+ yards, but...

I've looked for it as an anti-tank rifle, as a shotgun, and as a light machine gun. No dice. I give up... b

hint?

I've got a Savage MKII that I'd like to put a bi-pod on. I've not ever added one to any of my rifles before, so I'm kind of clueless about how to do it right. I'd like a light weight bi-pod that would allow me to shoot offhand if I need to without making the gun totally front heavy. Also...
