I own both a Marlin 308 XLR and a Henry Big Boy 44 Mag. I would not part with either, and take them both Whitetail hunting. The Marlin was 3 months old when I used it to take 2 deer on opening day last year. DRT from about 80 and 65 yds respectively. I'm sure the Henry would have done the...

XDm 9 with veridian green sits on my end table 1 1/2 feet from my chair. Mossberg 590 A in the bedroom Walther PPS .40 in my pocket, Ruger Vaquero .45 in cowboy holster on the wall with a .45 Henry Bigboy and a Remington Spartan Coach Gun. The last 3 are part of a western decorating motif, but...

I got 2 of my 10 Does on October 16 opening day for rifles, within seconds of each other. About 0930 a small herd of 8 paraded in front of my blind crossing a field between 85 and 120 yds. out. I picked out the 2 biggest and prayed. I got the first one and the last one as fast as it took to work...

C96 Broomhandle matching serial #s indicate mfgr, date apx. 1917 Brought back by my great uncle, 6th armored division, 3rd army, under General Patton at the Battle of the Buldge. After this picture was taken, I took the gun to a gunsmith, who cleaned and lubed it and pronounced it safe to...

I know this is the revolver area, but since the OP didn't specify revolver, and I own a very nice C96, I thought I'd put in my $ .02 Following is from Wicpedia The Mauser C96, with its shoulder stock, long barrel and high-velocity cartridge, had superior range and better penetration than...

OK I guess a full explanation will hopefully let everybody understand this situation, I was contracted to rewire a job that was bungled by the company before me. After getting 3 days into the job, the owner wanted to add some more to our original scope. This required a lift, the lift cost...

The money wasn't as big a deal as the way he handled the gun. I guess I put too much emphasis on the $ part of the post. Primarily it was to emphasize the stupidity of someone working with little or no knowledge of proper gun handling. Being swept with your own.44 mag is a weird feeling. If...

I own a low voltage contracting company, and am sometimes cash poor when I need to rent equipment. When this happens I reluctantly go to my safe and sacrifice a seldom used weapon to a pawn shop. I've only had to resort to this twice before and I've never lost anything except the unbelievable...

It depends on where the safe is located. If it is inside the perimeter arming area of your security system then I agree it's unnecessary, but still may seve a purpose. However, many safes are in basements or garages due to weight issues. Some people don't protect the garage or basement areas...

I just opened the As off the new list, works fine for me :cuss: Didn't some news paper in Memphis do the same thing last year, causing the Tennessee state legislature to consider a bill making the information confidential? I don't know the outcome of the bill. Any Vols. here know what happened?

This whole Kroger thing seems very random and policies must be unknown to store mgmt. (as most other policies do as well), I was in a Kroger in the greater Atlanta as I am frequently. I am a contractor/service /vendor for Kroger. They are my biggest and best customer and ALL the people I have...

I carry these in an Uncle Mikes, but not at the same time!

WOW! Good job ibnhall. And welcome to THR!

Wishin +1 on the semantics! I own a commercial alarm company (fire,security, CCTV etc) and know the difference, but who cares. The point is the OP has joined the ranks of so many others.... A victim of scumbags. BTW it drives me crazy when people call a "safe deposit box" a "safety deposit...

I personally did not buy an AR during the feeding frenzy, but my son did. I confess to buying 17 guns in the last 2 years. The reasons for the purchases are as varied as the guns themselves. I also bought a $2500.00 Honda generator shortly after my parents lost their home to one of the 3...

Congrats! Now all you need is 1000 rnds of .45ACP because you won't want to stop shooting it. I've got 10 handguns, 5 revolvers, 5 pistols, That same Colt you just bought (only mine's stainless) is by far my favorite. No matter what else I take to the range, even if I'm sighting in a scope with...
