    Marlin 336 with Leupold VX-3i 1.5-5

    Anyone out there mount a scope on their Marlin 336 with a super low ring mount? I have the rifle and scope in the title, and mounted in with medium rings. I have to set my chin on the butt to center the view, and that's just way too high for me. Anyone with their 336 saddled with a 20mm obj...

    New to me Hunting Rifle

    About 15 years ago, I came across a Sauer 202 Lux in 270. Got it for a song, and the plastic stock bug bit me. I bought a Mark V Fibermark Stainless with the profits from the sale of the Sauer. Smoothest bolt and quietest safety I've ever laid my hands on, but the money people are throwing at...

    New to me Hunting Rifle

    Well, Someone beat me to the punch on the Weatherby Stainless Fibermark. Missed it literally by minutes. I found a Sako 75 Finnlight in 7mm Remington Mag. It's not the 270 Win I hoped for, but I do like the 7mm mag for versatility. Thoughts on the 7Mag?

    ejector spring Remington 870 20 gauge

    reply I bought two 1187 20 gauge shotguns. They had a run of bad extractor spring ports in some 870 and 1187 bolts. Two trips to the factory repair center and both are repaired at no cost to ship, repair, and receive. They'll fix it, just send them a note and they'll send you a packing list...

    Thompson Center 35 Whelen

    Mine is a 24 inch barrel Bergara. The prismatic sight is not magnified and lets me shoot with both eyes open acquiring a target inside of 100 yards super quick. The crosshairs on the scope are etched so I can use the scope during the day not illuminated, or dawn and dusk illuminated. I really...

    Glock 41

    I just read the Glock 41 review. Any others have an opinion for comparison to the 34 & 35? I'm thinking about machining the slot in the front of my slide on the 41 and Cerakote the whole slide. What do you think?

    Leupold Prismatic?

    This sight looks so awesome. Compact, lighted reticle, and etched crosshairs that can be used without the illumination during the daylight. Has anyone used one? How is it holding up? I've mounted mine on a 35 Whelen brush gun.

    Opinions and Advice on 35 Whelen 200gr Fusion

    What are your opinions on using 35 Whelen out to 300 yards. I'm capable of shooting that range with the Thompson Encore, but is the cartridge inherently accurate? I'm shooting 200gr Fusion.

    Thompson Center 35 Whelen

    This is my latest project. My son and I shot it a couple of times. He's 13 years old and loves to shoot the big boys. I'm working him up slow though. The sight is a Leupold Prismatic.
