    O/U shotguns; I don't get it?

    I started duck hunting with a Remington 1100. When that rusted out from the salt marshes I bought an 870. I got out of hunting while traveling in the military and when I picked up shot gunning again started with an 870 then I tried an O/U. All I can say is I love the way an O/U handles. I think...

    Name some "bargain" scope brands

    I have always thought Bushnell is excellent bang for the buck.

    Bullet weight and ballistics

    It's a really light rifle. I'll bring a lead sled out and see if it makes any meaningful change to the POI.

    Bullet weight and ballistics

    I purchased a TC Encore Katahdin 45-70 and started reloading. Before I reloaded my first rounds I purchased some Federal and Winchester 300 gr hollow points and some Hornady 325 gr FTX to get the rifle semi zeroed in on paper. It has peep sights and all rounds were verticle +/- 3" @ 50 yards...

    Reloading newbie. Where do I start & what do I need?

    Suggest you get a manual first and do some reading. That will give you a great place to start. It's what I did. Read first then you can come back and ask more specific questions.

    Egad! The gun shop disappeared

    Online, shipped, taxes paid at dros, ffl transfer fee, $700. If I could get same gun within 10% ($770) from LGS I would do it. But my LGS has them for $850 or more, 20-25% more when all said and done. I can't handle that kind of premium especially when it's applied to all products. As for...
