    Best everyday air rifle for the common fan?

    I bought a Gamo Big Cat in .22 cal about 2 years ago. I paid something less then $150. for it. Im pretty happy with it now but it took a while. The springers are a little different to shoot. At first the best I could get was about a 5 or 6 inch group at 50 feet. Pretty disappointing. After...

    What's the most irresponsible thing you've ever done to pay for a gun you wanted?

    Sold one to get another one, several times in my life. Looking back I have regretted that move most of the time. Should have kept the one I had and found another way to pay for the new one.

    gamo question

    You should shoot several different brands/kinds of pellets to see which shoots best in your gun. Generally the lighter the pellet the louder it will be. Heavy pellets seem to dampen the sound. A break in period is required for best accuracy. Your groups should improve after 500/1000 shots...

    What is going to come of our 2nd amendment?

    Its pretty obvious. The left wants to do away with the second amendment. They will if we let them. "A new constitution" Why would they accept anything that didn't give them control. They don't want a constitution, they want control. After all its for your own good.

    As you grew up, how did you avoid siding with anti-gun thinking?

    Wasn't an issue when I was a kid. Most guys in high school had a shotgun or riffle in their pickup and so did the teachers.

    Plans for outdoor pistol range on private property?

    I don't think I have ever seen a range that met the criteria mentioned, and I doubt anyone else has either unless it was an indoor range.

    Favorite Tasting Deer

    Tough choice. Whitetails might get a slight edge, but I have had Mulies that were every bit as good.

    So you want a new Smith or Ruger?

    The handwriting is on the wall. Its not going to get any better in that state for firearm owners, without massive changes in their government. The good guys are outnumbered and its getting worse all the time.
