I took forever to set up all the gear I bought 6 months ago, but my son and I finally started rolling our own a week ago. Anyway, we started with .308 Winchester, and I had very good results with the low end load recommendation for 168 grain SMKs. I have a question regarding cartridge overall...

I know that, even though .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO are very similar rounds, they are not exactly the same; the differences having to do with case capacity and head spacing; and although some rifles can chamber both, some rifles shouldn't. My question is, are there similar distinctions...

I just got home a few minutes ago with my first ever AR platform rifle. The Sportsmens Warehouse near me in Lewisville, Texas is having a going out of business sale. All guns 10% off and all other stuff 30% off. I had been snooping around checking out a Bushmaster Varminter Rifle for almost a...

On another thread, the subject centered on a man who is on trial for cruelty to animals in Galveston, Texas, for having shot a cat which took a long time to die, and the question posited by the OP was "what is the best caliber for killing cats?" In the story, the accused's justification for...

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer Sun Nov 11, 12:03 PM ET Yahoo News The article is longer than the portion I've quoted here, and it bears reading. Filtering out the AP reporter's obvious distaste for the subject which is manifest in the way that he uses the terms "threaten" and...

This is my first post in this particular forum. I was just reading Jeff White's excellent (in my view) post regarding bloodlust, and it got me to thinking. After having worked in a large ER for several years, I saw hundreds of gunshot patients, with injuries running from "mere flesh wounds"...

Has anybody had any experience with this round? I'm going on my first ever deer hunt in about 3 weeks, and I'll be taking along a Remington 700 VSF in .308. It's a little bit on the heavy side for carrying around, but it is a very accurate rifle, and it's the only left handed action I own. I...

I just picked up a new in the box H&K USP Compact in .40 S&W at Sportsman's Warehouse in Lewisville. I was looking around for a new carry gun, and I wanted the capacity of a semi-auto, but with the simplicity of a revolver. I own two 1911s in .45 and a Colt Government in .380, but I wasn't...

I own a Colt Government in .380 which is shown below (please pardon my fingerprints on the finish). I purchased the pistol in California for $310.00 plus assorted taxes and fees back in 1993. It was used at the time, but in superb condition. I've kept it pretty much in the condition in which I...

Back when I first bought my Remington 700 VSF, I didn't have a rifle case to transport it in, and since it was my first "nice" rifle, I wanted a really good case to protect it. I wound up buying an SKB ATA Double Rifle Transport Case. I think I might have paid about $10 less for mine at my local...

My Old Ithaca 1911-A1 I just wanted to share this because it's an interesting pistol. Gun history: My father was a 2nd Lt. in the Marine Corps, E Co., 2nd Btn, 9th Marines, 3rd Div., who was WIA in Cushman's Pocket on Iwo Jima - one of 10 survivors of The Pocket. When he was medically...

I've ordered 4 boxes of Prvi Partizan Match 168 grain HPBT .308 ammunition from aimsurplus.com. It shipped yesterday, so I anticipate receiving it in the next few days. At $10.95 per box of 20 rounds, it seems no more expensive, and possibly less expensive, than handloading, so I thought it...

[Note to the moderator: if this is not the right heading under which to post this, or if, according to the board rules this thread is not appropriate, please feel free to move it or delete it and advise me why.] I am new to the world of Sig pistols, and I am a little frustrated by...

My son and I went to the range yesterday. I brought my Remington 700 VSF Left-Handed, and my son shot his 10FP HS Precision for the first time, so this was the first chance we had to shoot both rifles back to back. Both rifles are chambered in .308 Winchester. Cost and Appearances: Both...

I have a Remington 700 VSF which has the usual hinged floorplate with attached spring and magazine follower. Can this rifle be converted to a removable box magazine? Also, if it is possible, is there any reason other than time/money/effort NOT to do the conversion? The reason I'm asking is...
