    .44 Mag or .357 mag for SHTF.

    Sorry, I still have to defer to Mr. Keith and say .44 spl for social work with option of .44 mag for its hunting ability. I have a lever gun and six gun in .44. I keep 200 gr GDHP in sixgun and Hornady leverevolution 240 gr plastic tips in my levergun. I like that I can shoot both out of either...

    Why not buy one of the older XD models?

    I have four of the regular XD45s. I don't have tiny hands so it fits perfectly. Don't need a "match" bbl. In a duty gun- it works every time with everything I feed it.

    357 vs. 44 Spl. For CCW

    I'd have to agree. My 50th anniversary .44 is buttery smooth and just pretty as far as six-guns go. If anyone would care to hear what the god-father of modern sixgun loads would say- Mr. Keith said go with the .44 not the .357.

    Why not cock a DA revolver?

    I agree with the dumbing down of the population stance. If memory serves correctly, Mr.Keith carried a DA s&w for a reason: Faster follow up shots. He would draw and cock the hammer at the same time, much like a SA, and fire into the target with the opportunity to have a quicker follow up shot...

    Need a Revolver

    I'd also like to add- Mr.Keith could have carried a 1911 with faster follow up shots and larger magazine capacity, and his ability with a six gun was superb; but his choice of daily carry was a D/A S&W, for faster follow up shots.

    Need a Revolver

    I did for a while but decided if I ever had to use it I wasn't willing to lose my revolver to an evidence locker and/or theft. I don't think it's unwise to carry it- you just have to practice with it until it's like breathing. Would anyone here take on Clint smith with a S/A? I also think 6...

    Which big bore?

    Went with .44 spc bc I am a huge Keith fan and it led to my fav- .44 mag. I carry .44 spc GDHP in my sixgun for two-legged predators- and both, can be chambered in my levergun.

    Henry Big Boy, .357/.38

    I own the BB in .44. Recoil on .357 should be negligible. I love mine. And it was super accurate right out of the box with the marble buckhorn sights. I will say that the octagonal bbl makes the front end a tad heavy. Smooth action though.

    30-06 mbr

    Cobb was the company. Springfield made an M1a in 30-06 but stopped producing it years ago- that's what the company rep said when I called. I have heard that they are out there but hard to find. The reason for the 30-06 and not the mag would be longevity. Mags just burn through barrels much...

    30-06 mbr

    I recently read on THR about a company that used to build an AR in 30-06 but was bought by bushmaster and never continued. I enjoy watching Sons of Guns and had a thought. Those guys build crazy things all the time. I want a full power (not garand loads- full power hunting loads) MBR in 30-06. I...

    New to the Long Range game.

    I think this is a good deal on a good quality scope- Vortex Diamondback 4x12x40. http://www.opticsplanet.net/vortex-riflescopes-dbk-m-04p.html

    I want a large fixed blade knife-suggestions

    Also check out ESEE (formerly Randall's Adventure Training RAT) knives and Ranger Knives- the Ready Detachment series. Both have large 9" blade bowies out of 5160 or 1095 for about a hundred bucks. Both have a awesome customer service. And they are both MADE IN USA. Check them out here...

    New to the Long Range game.

    I think this is my last and final question. The Simmons 3x9x40 scope that came with it- is it any good? The visual clarity in it is good- nice and bright. Should I just get a Leupold and bipod just to knock it up a notch?

    Target work at 1200? That's impressive. The bullet would lack enough energy to take any game at that range though correct?

    Reloader or will you be using factory ammo? No, reloading is something I am understanding I will eventually have to get into for price/ and to play with loads. Right now it is just factory ammo. We have a police rifle range here out to 300 and I suppose that would be a good place to start. If...

    Wide open hills with very little cover. Larger game? I hear anything in the lower 48.

    New to the Long Range game.

    As a corpsman, my rifle experience is limited to an M4 with an ACOG on it out to about 100m. I just bought my first bolt gun in the form of a savage 110 in 30-06. I did this because I've heard about the superb accuracy of the 110 and was able to pick up a complete at the box store for an...
