...and that proves what exactly? One time I saw a guy do pretty much the same thing with a .30-06 Remington bolt-action with a scope on it. So going by your logic (or lack thereof) because of one doofus who couldn't shoot we should all conclude that bolt-action scoped rifles are worthless for...

Thanks to THR, me and my Assault Wheelbarrow are the envy of everyone in my neighborhood. (joke, joke, joke) Actually the gun advice I've gotten here has been immensely valuable to me. I'm the kind of guy who can't just walk into a gun shop and ask questions - partially because I feel like if...

I'm on record here saying (frequently) that I don't think 5.56 is a good choice for deer hunting, but I can't understand why anyone would have a problem hunting with a 7.62. That's the ballistic equivalent of the most popular American hunting cartridges. As far as it being shot from an AK... who...

"You got a purty mouth on ya', human."

Tilley Endurables doesn't just have the coolest company name ever, but they also claim to make the "World's Finest Hat" - and they're not kidding. At this point, I'm convinced that my Tilley T3 (in olive, naturally) is virtually bombproof. It's comfortable, low-maintenance, durable...

Stereotypical teenaged male, yeah.

OK, you start the process by deciding what action you're interested in. You say you don't like lever-actions, so that leaves you with a semi-auto, a pump, a bolt action, or a single-shot. Which one you choose will be heavily influenced by what type of hunting you're going to do, what type of...

Interesting article about Thompson at Slate.com. 1. Fred Thompson was a co-sponsor of the McCain-Feingold bill. You know, the bill that every pro-gun organization in the country uses to justify their hatred for McCain? 2. Fred Thompson was the co-chair of McCain's 2000 presidential campaign...

This thread has more crap in it than a double-hole outhouse. Those of you who say McCain has such a heavy duty anti-gun voting record need to do a little research. Fact of the matter is that the gun show background check bill they list in the article is the only time he's ever gotten close to...

Interesting. I dug up this movie quote just yesterday to use in a discussion about forum stupidity, and the very next day I stumble across this thread. "...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was...

Go to any barbershop where they have a bunch of backissues of Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, etc. on the magazine rack and you should find literally dozens of cover stories listing the TOP 20 REGIONAL GRAND ALMIGHTY MONSTER BIG BUCK MAMMOTH RACK SUPER-SECRET HOTSPOTS IN THE UNITED STATES! Try to...

Shooting from the prone position with a bipod is obviously the most accurate, but in the Appalachians it's almost never practical. For one thing, you're normally going to be on a hillside shooting at something higher or lower than you. For another, the underbrush is generally thick and gets...

I was with the 82nd when they phased out the A1 (full-auto) and introduced the A2 (burst). We loved it. The overwhelming opinion at the time (and still my opinion today) was that "Full auto is for people that can't aim."

I'm not much of a shotgunner (squirrel hunting and home defense are about all I do with scatterguns) but the thread title caught my eye. It kind of makes me wonder if Remington's rifles and their shotguns are made in different facilities or by different people, because just about everything...

Yeah, that's good advice. I've been reading the reloading guides, trying to figure out how it works and what equipment I need, all that jazz - but I haven't bought anything yet. The purchase of a high-dollar hand cannon will probably be the issue that forces me to go ahead and get off the pot...
