    Animal reaction to being shot...

    Using a 7mm Rem Mag, I shot a bull elk in the neck below the head from the front. The bullet narrowly missed the spine, penetrated the neck, reentered the loin, penetrated about 10 more inches of loin and lodged along the spine. That elk never flinched. He continued to stare at me for a couple...

    What freezer size?

    I can't speak to cubic foot volume, but the last large, mature bull I shot put 275 lbs. of packaged meat in my freezer. I have two small chest freezers, which were adequate.

    Browning Buckmark question

    If either of the top screws have loosened, the slide will bind and cause difficult operation and eventually malfunction.

    GP100 Lett grip sizes?

    I swapped the larger for the smaller on mine. I have large but slender hands. The compact version offers plenty of purchase for me. Plus, I like the look better.

    Help With Defective AK-74 Decision

    I have a WW from about the same era. Has their proprietary receiver. The misalligned holes were an issue on a lot of these from what I understand. Mine actually exhibits some slight misallignment as well, however apparently not enough to affect function. Mine's been 100 percent reliable, and...

    Question for FNS owners

    I cannot get mine to do what you are describing after many attemps. As soon as the slide has retracted far enough to see the breech face, the striker is no longer protruding at all. Seems like you may have a defect on your hands.

    Any Opinions on the FNS9c yet?

    I just picked mine up on Wednesday. I ordered the version without the manual safety. So far I'm very pleased. I bought it without ever holding one (a little unlike me). I've fired about 125 rounds through it. I had one FTF with Perfecta ammo. Will see how it goes as I move forward. I like that...

    whats your favorite leveraction and what you hunt with it??

    My 1895 Marlin in 45-70. 22" barrel, Skinner sight. I hunt elk in the timber with it and use it for deer occasionally. I like the 350 gr. Hornady over Reloder 7.

    FN FNS Compact

    I'm very interested in one of these, but have yet to see one in my area. I'm not opposed to ordering one, but I do prefer to handle a gun, if not shoot it, before buying.

    Very cool. I knew nothing of these prior to reading your post. Thanks for sharing!

    most destructive species to hunt

    No mention of prairie dogs? Wow. They're definitely a contender. No hogs out west here, but I've seen 500 acre plots of grassland chewed to dust in mid-summer by prairie dogs.

    Recommend me a CZ holster.

    Clament Custom Leather, Las Vegas, NV It was in the neighborhood of $50. I've been pleased so far. Found one of his holsters on Ebay but I wanted a body shield on mine, so I called him up. He got it made in a few days and sent it off.

    Opinions on two .44 mag short barrel models

    I've shot short barreled X-frames in .500 in several bullet weights and found them to be relatively manageable with those big Hogue grips they put on them. My 629 PC with the factory wood stocks is more uncomfortable to shoot, but with the Pachmayr grip, it's slightly more comfortable to fire...

    Opinions on two .44 mag short barrel models

    I own the 629 PC you speak of. I shoot it occasionally with the wood grips, but DA 6-shot strings are definitely uncomfortable. While the porting (such as on the 629 comp carry model) would reduce muzzle flip, I doubt it would significantly reduce the overall whack it will deliver to your palm...

    Whats the verdict on Glock 42?

    I will agree with the above posts. Very positive experiences for me with the 42. Nothing really negative to say. I believe it somehow found a way to set itself apart within a crowded market. I also have a sneaking suspicion that Glock may have actually test fired the 42 with live ammo before...

    Who has the best shipped price on .223/5.56 (193) right now?

    No love for Widener's? No love for Israeli M193? I just got 1200 rounds of new 2013 manufactured ammo at my doorstep for 32.5 cents/rd. I'm happy.
