    This time I took my 7 year old out to check the zero on his deer rifle

    He did a little shooting with a .22 to warm up. Then we got out his deer rifle. It has an A2 style 7.62x39 upper from a Colt Blue Label gun with a Trijicon Reflex II sight. The Magpul CTR stock allows me to set up the length of pull for him and lock it in place so it doesn't rattle. The...

    Took my 8 year old out to confirm zero with his deer rifle

    To me it recoils similar to a .30 Carbine.

    Took my 8 year old out to confirm zero with his deer rifle

    He started out practicing with a Chipmunk. Here he is shooting out of the shed where I store target holders, chairs, benches, etc. for the range. Here is a pic out the door of the shed towards the backstop. Thats about 30 yards. After a little paper punching he got some time on a...

    How would you respond to a telephone survey questioning your status as a gun owner?

    I would do what I do to any survey caller or salesman - ask to be put on a no-call list.

    Ruger Mini-14 GB? Is it different from Mini Ranch?

    I understand that Ruger has recently been selling a model they call the GB that has an improved front sight near the muzzle but no bayo lug or flash hider. I don't know if the new GB model is based on the Ranch action (fixed ejector and integral scope base) or the traditional Mini-14 action...

    A real eye opener, no flamewar intended.

    I think anyone that has field dressed or butchered a deer or other big game animal has a pretty good idea of the physical destructiveness of firearms.

    S&W 500---any owners with opinions?

    I love the M500. For me it is much more comfortable than a .454 SRH to shoot, but it is a lot bigger and heavier to carry for hunting. The recoil seems slower than the .454 - when shooting the .454 I stop shooting because my palms start protesting, when I shoot the .500 I stop when my forearms...

    M1A Socom Problem

    Maybe his rifle doesn't like your ammo, maybe because of a resizing/chamber tolerance issue? I would suggest that the heavy bullets are slow enough out of the short barrel that they don't spin fast enough to stablize. However, the fact that the ammo isn't cycling makes me think there is more...

    do .308 and .30-06 kick too much for you?

    I put 600 rounds through a sporter weight .30-06 bolt gun in 4 days. No big deal.

    YouTube bans knife and gun videos (Retry #1)

    This is the same kind of nonsense at my job. They recently started blocking access to all the gun related sights they can find. I can spend all day on youtube, ebay, DU, the peta forums, payless shoes, autozone, etc., but I can't go to THR, gunbroker, auctionarms, gunsamerica, or midwayusa...

    I can't tell, but then I'm just about blind.

    Rounded Grips for GP100

    Try Hogue Monogrips. You can get wood or synthetics or laminated wood. They are my favorite grips for the GP-100 and Super Redhawk. http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/merchant.ihtml?id=60&step=2 http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/merchant.ihtml?id=390&step=2

    Marlin 444 scope mount issue

    XS Sight Systems Scout Mount. http://www.xssights.com/store/scope.html I have used the Lever Scout Mount which is the 2nd one down the page. If you use that one you will have to get a different scope. I've mounted a number of them and they all zeroed without any trouble. If you don't...
