Morning all. I am considering a few different .45s for centerfire bullseye. Locally have found a new Springfield TRP; a Colt Gold Cup Series 80 National Match; and lots of Kimber choices....Handling them Thursday. All within budget. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks in advance.

I want to thank everyone for the input. I went for the Ruger No 1. There were a series of factors: First was that the Ruger fit my shoulder better. Second, Ruger has iron sights. I can take my time & decide which/any scope when I am ready. Browning needed scope and one it came with...

The woman arrested in NYC yesterday was at the 9/11 WTC memorial. She was legal to carry in her home state of Tennessee and assumed that enabled her to carry any/everywhere. One of the founders of the Tea Party Movement (flying into LaGuardia Airport from home state of California) learned...

The TC Encore & Pro Hunter are excellent rifles. I just have a personal preference for the falling block system vs the break-open.

SwampWolf - read your post/question and said "huh, hadn't thought if weight that way". A heavy rifle may be better for target shooting. I am not a huge fan of bench shooting. Always shot (may not be proper term) freehand. But then again its been mostly rimfire. It has been interesting...

Welcoming thoughts, comments and pros/cons...been handling two single shot rifles lately and just cannot decide which to buy (both is not an option). In one corner, a new Ruger #1 in .308 Versus an excellent condition Browning B78 in 30-06 from early 1970s. Comes with old Leopold scope...

I am very happy with my CZ 527 American in .223. Also have the CZ 452 FS (Mannlicher stock) in .22. Both are excellent rifles.

I've got a Marlin 925 .22 magnum and a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 scope (currently on a .223)...am thinking about putting Redfield on Marlin & upgrading the scope for CZ .223...any "red flags"? Is there any reason this wouldn't be a good match? Scope came with .223. Am I right that a...

Thanks. Will get more information and loop back...

Posted this under general handgun before I saw this forum: I have just joined our gun club pistol team. I've got a Buckmark II .22 & Glock 19 9mm. I am allowed to use any sights/scope that does not project a beam (i.e. laser sights). Suggestions for a red dot or similar for the Glock 19? Its...

I have just joined our gun club pistol team. I've got a Buckmark II .22 & Glock 19 9mm. I am allowed to use any sights/scope that does not project a beam (i.e. laser sights). Suggestions for a red dot or similar for the Glock 19? Its 3rd Generation. Looking to improve my scores but...

Thanks for the comments. The CZ seems too good to pass up...can always get another after I re-fill the slush fund!

Need some advice...I'm trying to decide between two rifles - having shot .22LR for a long time (have a great CZ .22) and moving into centerfire. Will be 95% target rifle on a short 150-200 yard range. These all shoulder well but I do not have a chance to fire similar before purchase. In...

I generally shoot CCI "Green Tags" in my CZ.
