    browning bps 10 ga

    I love Browning, hate recoil, love the 10 bore and abhor a pump action. Have you considered the Browning Silver semi auto in 10...I bought one as my Ithaca Mag 10 was starting to get old (bought it brand new when they first came out) so I retired it...The Ithaca made it feel like I was shooting...

    .41 Mag Association

    I'm confused as well as I thought that the largest calibre for the Single Six was the .32 H&R mag?

    How does spreading work?

    Well, actually spreader loads were designed to open up when fired from tight choked guns before the advent of screw-in chokes. Shooting doves with a M/F double didn't result in many kills compared to an IC/M but the only way to increase spread was either an expensive, permanent, gunsmith...

    How does spreading work?

    Except that the pattern will be different at the same distance--even with Flight Control-- when coming out of a IC, Mod or a Full choke barrel...So choke still dictates spread.

    How did Smaller folks fight back in the day?

    Gladwell is a fool! David did not kill Goliath with a stone but by stabbing him and then cutting his head off with a sword. Slingers were nothing more then an annoyance during a battle as the sling thrown rock at those great distances did not have sufficient energy to kill...They were used to...

    Sporting Clays - first time

    Your prowess proves the point of it's the man not the gun. Although, there is a very valid reason why O/U and semi autos dominate the sport and it's simply a matter of physics...They both shoot softer due to the added weight and/or the recoil buffers in the gas action. Shooting a 100...

    birdshot question

    First off good sirs one has to define what birdshot actually is? I say this as the transitional shot sizes of TT and F are considered bird shot...Looking at the chart below, their sizes are just a tad smaller then #4 buck which the FBI favours. I can assure you from first hand witnessing...

    Red Ryder for "Sight Shooting" practice?

    Not really for velocity as they're IIRC about the same but they will be big differences in stock length which is the most important aspect of wingshooting...You may even have to add a recoil pad (slip on) to get the length you need. The US Army during the early days of the Vietnam War used...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    When the American Shooting Teams came over to England prior to 1900 they mixed up the nomenclature with what the British Forces were using to feed the Lee Enfield rifles—the stripper clips fed the magazine which was removable but for cleaning only—no “Tommy” took extra magazine with them just...

    Brass knuckles, switchblades, Balisong (butterfly) or Trench knives are not illegal to own just to carry, on your person or in close proximity, in most states...In some states they are actually illegal to own at all...Check your local laws to be sure. Knife Laws Online Bernard Levine's...

    Which Broadhead?

    Here are some other for you to try: Ace Archery for traditional style broadheads up to 200gr—wicked 100 gr one…$21.95 for six. Aftershock Xbow XPR 125gr are deadly on moose but I really want to try their new Maniac Arrowdynamic Solutions Guillotine is an excellent spring/expandable blade...

    Carbon steel blades

    My blacksmith buddy also makes Damascus steel and uses a mixture for his etching and final temper consisting of female (only) sheep urine (preferably in menses), honey and either beef or sheep fat rendered down...Absolutely amzing finishes to the steel.

    Are these any good?

    For what? Chopping branches off trees, separating the pelvic bone or the rib cage on a big game animal, damn straight they are. Same as for a fighting knife. I had one in the very early 1980s and liked it a lot and had no problem putting an edge on it and the steel had a good temper to...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    At what? putting holes in paper or bad guys, then yes it would be equvilant. comparing manufacturing techniques then S&W might have a slight edge. comparing costs then the Taurus wins out. My Charter Arms does the same thing for less money--does that make it a "poorer" weapon? Sorry, but...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    I don't see a problem with that statement on face value since any modern .380/9mm semi auto with fourteen plus rounds in the clip (magazines to you Yanks) will be just as effective against black bears as any five/six shot .44/11mm will be and against grizzly both will work but shot placement and...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    He is correct in part in that a deeper penetrating bullet will do damage to internal organs much better then a hollow point will...Remember we're not talking a 150 to 200 pound man with a heart three/four inches beneath the skin but a deeply muscled, massive, 300 to 500 even 600 pound black bear...

    Why are shotguns cheaper than rifles?

    Have to disagree with you in part...Look at the Westley Richards or Holland and Holland sites and compare used Royal grades bought 10 years ago to a gun purchased today...Now you're paying $150,000+ (same as you did then) and used it's $50,000 to $60,000...60% to 70% reduction is not a good...
