    Is there any reasons to buy a blued revolver?

    I like blue always will, stainless is ugly in my eyes and that isn't about to change. This is also why I haven't even looked at a new S&W in a couple of years, No Blue, your loss I will look for used guns, I don't need to buy. I also challenge the stainless is easier to maintain BS. By the...

    Bought mine new years ago, probably my favorite pistol of all time: Anyway I have posted these before, my 41 Mags: Edit: it is just about manditory to reload the 41 mag, unless you got some serious deep pockets.

    Army Times calls for 9mm to be dropped 45 brought back.

    Allowing soldiers to pick there weapons even if you standardise the caliber is DOA. From a spare parts and logistics angle, it is unsupportable. I also wonder if this isn't another attempt by the Army to select HK's by writing the requiremnents based on a HK design which nobody else can meet...

    Suggestions on a boltaction .223 tackdriver???

    Weatherby, has a line with Krieger barrels on them. They come chambered in .223 and my gunsmith has been working with one and they are very accurate. If you check CDNN probably has some with a steep discount still.

    What to do with a .338 Win?

    Hi Guys I have missing for a while. Preacherman, I got to disagree with you on the 338 bore. Its a good option in Elk country. Alaska Kudo's also, even the 338-06 is a very good round, better SD on really a pack of premium grade bullets. There isn't much to dislike. Artherd, I would rather...

    Large caliber military Mauser?

    Are you thinking about the 11 x 59 Vickers? Fired in the Vickers machine gun, very similar to the French Gras cartridge, although I think it was unsafe to fire in the Vickers in a Graf rifle. I checked cartridges of the world and there aren't any suitable cartridges above 8mm for machine...

    Remington Sendero

    Peter, Thanks for the pick, visual proof supporting the accuracy potential in these Remingtons. I have been working like a communist and haven't had any time since before Christmas, so I have done zero more with my 700 Milspec. Dies have been bought again no time to work with them. So in...

    Good, inexpensive , bolt action rifle.

    Fumbler, ADL and BDL rifles are two different ( bottom metal ) guns and have different prices. $400 on a ADL is no real deal. Here is a link to a ADL under that price and with some looking you could probably beat that: http://www.impactguns.com/store/SS-97485.html Same place has BDL's...

    Good, inexpensive , bolt action rifle.

    30-06 will give you 150 FPS over the .308 in most bullet wieghts. IF your planning on cheap ammo .308 is your answer, 160 rounds of the aussie milsurp is a little over $30.00, If your planning on long heavy bullets ( 190-200 gr ) the 30-06 is a better choice. These bullets perform better at...

    Good, inexpensive , bolt action rifle.

    a CZ 550 or a Remington 700 BDL can be got for right at $450.00 Leaves you $150 for glass and taxes. Bonus on the CZ it comes with rings. Look for a used Leupold scope you should be able to find a M8 4x for that price range. If your going to consistantly shoot @ longer range get a 6x...

    suggestions for a Mauser action

    Charles Daly I have heard more negative than positive reviews on these to date. The only real positive reviews coming from the Gun rags, go figure, if they get advertising dollars they write it up to not PO the manufacturers. The negatives I have heard are the finish is rough, and the...

    suggestions for a Mauser action

    Ah the old to build a Mauser or not build a Mauser quandry, I go through this a couple of times a year. I think there are two categories that this falls into, either a low end rifle, or real high end stuff and it makes a big difference in your decision. On the lower end stuff, remember you...

    Barrel length and accuracy

    My comment is check out Dan Lilja's website. Look in the articles and he has a write up on this, which is very detailed with math formulas. Long Barrels droop, but short barrels loose velocity. The reason you don't see many 36" barrels is most barrel makers don't have a lathe with a big...

    What is your first planned firearm purchase for 2005?

    My last purchase of 2004 is going to consume the gun budget for a while. A custom pre 64 Model 70 is the goal, with very nice wood stock and engraving accents ( nothing flashy just bolt handle, and grip caps ). Next purchase is a Krieger barrel, then barrel accesories like barrel band swing...

    Most Worthless Rifle Caliber

    My question must be: worthless for what? I will skip on the vote for now. There are more than a couple of cartridges on the list I am not fond of, and probably never buy, but who am I to rain on someone elses sunshine. A couple of examples are: I shot my first elk with a 32 Win Special, it...

    What rifle for what region?

    Preacherman, One rifle to do it all would certainly be a 30-06, vary the bullet weights from 150 gr to 220 gr for the application. No its not ideal for several of the tasks but it will get by on it all except the big nasty stuff in Africa. That said I would take my 30-338 first choice if I...

    which .308: M1A or Rem. 700Police?

    Pay attention to what Jonathan from Montana says. I have a 5-R Milspec Remington which is very close to the PSS model, under no circumstances would I haul that heavy barreled pig around in the Idaho/Montana/Alaska mountains unless I was doing a short walk to someplace I was bagging the rifle...
