    CZ Certificate.....what to get ?

    CZ Safari Magnum in .375 H&H. Been a fetish of mine for a while. It's costlier than your rebate, but I assume it can go towards the price of something. Unfortunately there is a cheap way to get the Safari Magnum (~$800) and the expensive big-time retail way (>$1000).

    "Pre-64" Winchester Model 94 30-30 -- so what?

    I have a buddy who might be headed to the pen, and if that happens I'm buying his pre-'64 '94. Actually, I guess I'm buying it eventually regardless as he is in debt due to legal fees. It is an exceptionally handsome carbine. The difference in quality between pre-'64 Model '94's and post-'64...

    Dumbest thing you've seen at the range?

    It was my first time to a range, and I was not firing but watching through glass from inside the gun shop. Some gangsta was rapid-firing a short-barreled shotgun from the hip. I was watching his target, which was about 10 yards away, and I noticed he was hitting it with slugs. His accuracy was...

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    I wouldn't start a fight, not my thing. If I get into a disagreement with someone and it proceeds to a gentleman's duel, he'd be making a grave mistake by drawing down because he now wants to avoid the fist fight. The kind of person that would draw in that situation most likely doesn't have the...

    Prophylactics, i.e. condoms? In Iraq? Who was boinking all the way over there in a Muslim country?

    Dry-firing

    I've heard that it's not so wise to dry-fire a rifle, and I've also heard that it's only really an issue with rimfire rifles. I've got a Mauser K98k, would it be deleterious to the health of the rifle to dry fire? Thanks.

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    If someone tries to avoid a fistfight with me by pointing a firearm in my face, they're going to have to use it or lose it. I don't go around looking to start fights, but if I get into it with some guy and it's going to get violent shortly, he'll regret pulling a pistol on me, he'll have to...

    Dumbest thing you've seen at the range?

    That's hilarious. Haha, screaming! Brilliant. That is epic. Haven't been to a range yet, hope to rectify that soon. There is no limit to man's stupidity however.

    5.45 AK's

    :) Naturally. I'm pretty hawkish about the 2nd Amendment, I subscribe to the "From my cold, dead hands" philosophy. I'm preparing for the worst though. Yeah, if a 5.45 AK kicks like 7.62, that isn't quite right. I believe the Tantal has minimal recoil, not sure about other ones. Thanks

    5.45 AK's

    I'm thinking about getting an AK74-type rifle before an AWB shows up, can you tell me about some of the better 5.45 AK's? I've read that Tantals are good, what else? Anything to know as a shopper? I've found it hard to get good information on what to avoid and what to look for. In such a...

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    It's usually different when it's two guys at a dog park arguing over BS than it is when someone jumps you in the ghetto. I've been in both situations. If anyone ever pulls a gun on me, especially in the case this guy mentioned, I'm going to take it off them and pistol whip them good. Or get shot...

    Why do you come to THR?

    Because I can learn from a great deal of people who know what they're doing.

    Had to draw my weapon last night...

    I used to live in Dallas. Some old codger saw some people robbing his neighbor's house (they were on vacation) and he killed them with a shotgun. He was put in prison for murder. According to that information, he was acting legally. What the Hell kind of bizzare-o world are we living in?

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    Being killed by a single punch is not par for the course though, and Seattle has some pretty awful neighborhoods. Even downtown at night can be pretty seedy. There's always a chance that I'll get into a crash when I climb into a car, but I don't assume it's going to happen. Sounds pretty...

    Weird occurrence last night

    Remember, LE is there to defend us, the law-abiding citizens. Taking that stance in regards to LEO's is counter-intuitive and nonsensical. What do you think they're going to do, rob your house while they clear it? I've had an entire sherriff's dpt. clear my home, they didn't leave any...

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    Sounds like you're relying too heavily on your carry piece. In that situation the LAST thing I'd be doing is fingering my weapon! I've got two weapons that are more suited to that situation, I call them "fisticuffs". The dude wasn't posing a mortal threat, at least not yet. It sounds like he...

    Cartridge with the highest body count?

    Exactly, which makes an estimation all the more difficult. I don't want to get into that debate, people kill people not guns, but people using guns kill people. I'm not coming after your 2nd Amendment rights merely asking a question. It's a morbid topic but I don't see what unfortunate...

    Watch/Guard Dogs

    I can attest to the hearing abilities of the miniature Dachsund. A neighbor has a lab. When I commuted on foot, he always let the neighborhood know I was coming when I was in a foul mood. After a while, he lay silent on the days I was cheery. I can only imagine he was picking up on my...
