I had a remington 597 .22 for about a year and hated it because of the magazines, poor factory ones and poor aftermarket magazines. I was thinking something along the lines of a M1A from springfield, a ruger 10/22, a 1911, or a glock, maybe even a ar-15.

I am looking to get another gun within the next few month and would like some ideas on what to get. I have a Ruger Mini 14, Ruger blackhawk .357, and a Remington 870. I can't think of a good addition to my small collection. I can't hunt with rifles around here because of Iowa law. I have wanted...

Oneounceload, at the high school I attend in Iowa there is a law stating that a person can not be within some many hundred yards with a gun. The school is surrounded completely by street, so one can park on the street and have a gun right next to the school. The law is somewhat pointless in that...

Hello, I lost track of the date and now shotgun 1 is next saturday. My revolver is coming on Wednesday due to delays in shipping. I ordered a holster from Ruger and it will arrive on Friday hopefully, you never know in my neck of the woods. I will be carrying my shotgun with a sling. Is it...

Hello everyone I will be getting a Ruger blackhawk in .357 magnum here in a few days, would have been sooner but unexpected shipping delays occurred. Anyway I want to start reloading for it, I have experience reloading shotgun shells but not anything else. I would also like to reload for my .223...

Sorry, .357 magnum.

Well in a post about a week ago I asked which I should get and I finally decided on the 6.5 inch barreled stainless steel version of the Ruger Blackhawk. I was wondering what type of ammo would be best for range time and what should be used on coyotes. Also I need a holster for it, it will get...

I was looking at the ammo selection at walmart today and they had four boxes of the remington ammunition that you described. Its nice to know they can be found locally with out searching hard. Keep up your search.

So I talked to my FFL dealer and personal friend of mine about trading a shotgun and a .22 for a Ruger Blackhawk. It will be chambered in .357 with the 6.5 inch barrel. I could do an even trade and get the blued barrel version by next week, or I could hope that he could order a stainless steel...

So I plan to get a Ruger SR40 in stainless steel. I was wondering if anybody has had a bad experience with them. I love Ruger's and just bought a mini 14 a month ago and so I am expecting great things. Also any good holsters for carrying on the belt. I will not be using for concealed carry. Thanks.

I purchased a Ranch Rifle today, I haven't shoot it yet but I love it so far. I picked up a box of Perfecta ammo because it was cheap and it looked good and has brass cases. Does anyone have experience with non Ruger mags. Also I noticed that the end looks threaded is that for a muzzle brake...

My arsenal consist of three 12 gauge shotguns, two .22 rifles and enough knifes to fill a duffel bag. The .223 seems more practical but man would I love a .357.

Well I live in Iowa and seeing as I am 17 I have limited myself to two guns a year until I turn 18 for rifles and shotguns. At 21 I will get as many handguns as I can afford. Thanks. It is tough trying to learn how to be an expert marksmen like my father, cousins, and uncles on a budget.

I have a budget of 1,000 bucks and I am looking at either a smith and wesson 586 or a Ruger Mini-14. This is going to be the last gun I buy for about a year so the one I don't get know will come later. If you had the choice which would you rather get. I am dead set on these two guns for my own...

I will be acquiring a Smith & Wesson model 586 with a 6 inch barrel soon. I will want to dress it up every now and then with a different pair of grips. I want some stag or elk antler grips, maybe even some mother of pearl or something similar. I don't want to break the bank and was wondering...
