    Oklahoma: 12 fired from Weyerhaeuser for guns in cars

    Double Naught Spy hit the nail on the head IMO. I do not want the govt. telling me what I can or cannot allow on my property any more than I want them to tell me if or what kind of firearms that I can own. The RTKBA does not supercede my rights as a property owner OR vice versa. I agree...

    What's it worth?

    A lady at work asked me today if I was into guns and shooting. Naturally I said that I was. She said that she had several guns that she wanted to get rid of. The guns were hers and her husbands. Her husband passed away several years ago and she no longer has the desire to keep the guns. I...

    Win 70 vs Rem 700

    Both are good rifles. You may want to look into the Ruger M77 MKII as well. Also look at the ( it pains me to say it) Savage. I say that because I've had bad luck with the Savage, but I hear a lot of people on this thread talk very favorably about theirs. Don't get too caught up on names...

    .308, 30-06, .270, 30-30

    In hunting situations, There's minimal difference between the '06, 308 and 270 except for bullet availability. When faced with the same decision 20 yrs ago, I opted for the 270, but you can't go wrong with any of the three calibers. The 30-30 just does not come close balistically. You can get...

    A Decent Kansas Buck

    Congratulations to you and your son. Nice buck! I like the approach you're taking with your son. By the results I'd say you're teaching him well. ;)

    Beretta Bling Bling PUKE!

    I couldn't carry that gun. All day long I'd be thinking "does this piece make my but look big to you?":D

    my brass turned black--why

    I'm not a metalurgist, but I believe that the reason your brass turned black is a due to two components. Oxygen and time. Brass is not a pure element, I believe that it has copper in it's chemical makeup. Just as a penny turns darker over time, so will your brass. I believe that the brass...

    Rabbit anyone?

    I think I've eaten close to 2 million wabbits in my lifetime ( seems that way anyways) ;) Cottontails are good eating, can be a little tough depending on how you cook them. I've never eaten jackwabbits I've heard they're really tough. When hunting wabbits for dinner, I've generally tried to...

    best choice for rattlesnakes?

    I got to kill a ratler once with a front end loader that had almost no tread on the tires. He was slithering away from me. I pulled up right behind him and squeezed him right out of his skin. I'm thinkin to myself, this one's for Adam you SOB. :evil:

    Usable range of the .223?

    200 yards on a coyote is no problem for the 223. I loaded 52 grn HP with 22 grains of IMR 4198 in a Ruger M77 MkII (24" bbl) I used to own. That was Max load in my Lee manual so work up to it. Velocities weren't top of the board but I got good groups. Was getting ready to start...

    Sistema 1927 Question

    Joab, you were right. I was riding the slide. I tried pulling the slide back and "let her fly" and Walla no more problem. Thanks joab and 1911 tuner. On a side note, I am looking for a couple of mags for this gun. Any thoughts on what brands to stay away from or which are preferred...

    Bought a Bersa--Thanks Horge!

    I've bought two in the last couple of years. One for my wife (I told her it was for her anyways) and one for the mother in law. Great little guns. Sorry but I knew what a good little gun the Bersa was before I knew what a great thread THR was.:neener:

    Sistema 1927 Question

    I got mine from a good friend who had a small gun shop here in town. I think he still had a couple in the shop when he passed away last fall. His wife is still running the shop, but is not buying anything new, just selling off inventory.

    Sistema 1927 Question

    I've got a Sistema 1927 that I've had for about a year now. I like the gun for the most part, but it's got a problem feeding rounds when the slide is racked. The bullet tip does not come out of the clip fully. This in turn hangs the slide up. The gun has no problems feeding a round when the...

    Back from dog town

    I just got back from the long awaited prarie dog hunt a little bit ago. It wasn't cape buffalo hunting on the dark continent, but was some much needed fun time nonetheless. The morning started off good. My hunting partner (my Dad) and I were only 10 minutes off of the blacktop when we...

    One gun safari.

    Had to think about this one for a little bit. I've got no experience shooting at dangerous game, so I'd want to have a little extra gun. That leaves the 375 H&H out. I'd have to go with the 416 Rigby. I'd be feeling a little selfish cause of the old lady & pool boy so no out of the box gun...
