    Please review - No Guns Response Letter

    I wouldn't strike the entire first paragraph, But I would move it to the end as a conclusion to the rest of the letter. As I recently approached your business I noted prominently posted “No Guns Allowed” signs. While such postings may seem like a good idea, I would like to take this opportunity...

    A cartridge/rifle combo that really surprised / impressed you.

    My 338MX. Nice ballistics, shoots subMOA all day, and shoots a 200 gr bullet with a trajectory nearly identical to a 180 gr 30-06 out to 300 yds. All this with the recoil of a 308 Win. This gun make everyone that shoots it bust out into a big grin. My only issue is the fact it's so addictive...

    New Henry 30-30 impressions

    Well, I finally got to get my hands on a Henry 30-30. Went into a local gun shop looking for some parts and sitting next to a golden boy was the new version of the Henry 30-30. This is the newer model that they released with a fore end cap instead of a fore end band. It also comes with an XS...

    Support Sportsmans Heritage Act

    On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency denied for the second time a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity and other anti-hunting groups asking the EPA to impose a nationwide ban on the use of ammunition containing lead. The petition was essentially a repetition of a similar...

    3" Barrel difference between .357 and .38spl+P

    Go to Ballistics by the inch. Take a look at the results. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/ They used a 125 gr JHP on both the 38 sp and 357 Mag tests. (didn't test +P rounds though) I think the difference for the same bullet was about 300 fps. Also, the 357 will push a 158 gr bullet out the...

    First experience with a firearm?

    TNG, get or borrow a 22 semi auto and go to an "Appleseed shoot" (Google the term). You'll learn marksmanship, safety, and some history that will make you want to learn more. At 17 you'd need your parents permission, but since you're less than 18, the whole weekend would be free for you. Too...

    Help! I've got the Shakes

    Most people don't want to hear this, but if the tremors are not totally neurological, you can reduce the effects or often eliminate them from resistance training- i.e. lifting weights. It's a use it or lose it approach. The nervous system adapts to both usage by becoming more efficient and...

    Gun Buy Back.......sigh!

    You will see more guns getting turned in on these than in the past as the economy keeps sputtering along. Inherited guns only mean something to an individual if it has memories attached to it. So if ti came from someone in the family that never spent time shooting with the person that now owns...

    .22LR rifles: Comparing the Ruger 10/22 to the Marlin 795

    No Craig, I am not "deluding myself". These were bull barreled 10/22's used by appleseed instructors that used them in competition. You missed the point here too. The point is that you often need a better barrel to get a ruger to shoot as good as a Marlin. (Not always, I've seen a couple of...

    Hunting Rifle Accuracy?

    Welll . . . . it depends on what he means by hold MOA. There are 3 aspects to this, 1. Can you keep your rifle steady enough on the desired poi that the sights wander less than 1 MOA? 2. Can you consistently shoot MOA when you include breath, trigger control, etc? 3. Is the rifle / load...

    .22LR rifles: Comparing the Ruger 10/22 to the Marlin 795

    Ok, so you can't get a 50 round mag for a 795, but you CAN get a 25 round magazine http://www.shootersridge.com/products/accessories/magazines/marlin_mag25rd.aspx As I said, most people slam Marlins for not having add ons. Most of the time they are just parroting what everyone else says instead...

    .22LR rifles: Comparing the Ruger 10/22 to the Marlin 795

    It's funny how many 10/22 users miss the point that to get a 10/22 to just shoot as well as a 795 is going to cost you at least another $100. If that's what you want, then fine. But that attitude of "I want to make it whatever my heart desires" is a very small portion of the shooting public...
