Something to consider if you're interested in shooting any 5.56 - I was looking at an Edge for a cheap pickup gun, researched everywhere and finally called Savage when I couldn't find anything definitive with respect to whether or not you can shoot 5.56 in the Edge. The Savage factory service...

Didn't mean to semi-hijack the thread with the cat pics, apologies to the OP. Just couldn't resist. I didn't shoot it, the pictures were sent to me by someone who knew the shooter. Just to keep on track, I bought a new SP101 today - 2.25" - enclosed hammer - I saw this thread researching the...

Some are bigger than 200 lbs. 317 lbs. - shot near Wenatchee, WA.

Thank you, I appreciate it. R.

S&w 640 If you would, please: S&W Mod 640 .38 Special SS Centennial S/N BNS1XXX TIA for your help - Rob

Since the Nilgai are few and far between here in Eastern Oregon, I've never hunted or shot one. That said, after a little research they don't appear to be any bigger - if as big - as the Rocky Mountain elk we hunt around here, and while they might be as tough I doubt they're any tougher...

Art, I don't disagree one bit - to a certain extent this is a subjective Ford vs. Chevy discussion since there are legitimate arguments for all the good and thoughtful opinions expressed so far in this thread; and it probably has a lot more to do with personal preference, sentiment, etc. than it...

First let me acknowledge that I'm not exactly addressing the question - that said, FWIW: I have a .300 Win Mag and it's an excellent elk rifle, up to and including long range shots pushing the limits of most hunters' ability. Plus, given the primary importance of bullet placement, and...

I have a Sig SHR970 but can't recall the Allen wrench size and away from home so can't check - no doubt it's metric, why not just try your metric Allen wrenches until you find the right size? Back to the OP's question - I don't own a Sauer 200, but understand from a couple of folks I know who...

+1 on what Exposure said - We can - and should, because positive, constructive debate always presents an opportunity to learn something - argue the relative strengths and weaknesses of various firearms and their applications. But - though I've been around awhile and have spent well over 50...

Disclaimer: I'm no expert - as you said, they're not exactly the same firearm and therefore are going to approach your needs from diverse directions. The CX4 can be matched up to a handgun, giving you two options with the same caliber - don't know if you already have any handguns or are...

Thanks for reducing my image, Moderator - didn't mean to blow up the thread. Well, heck - now it doesn't look like it was reduced - sorry, meant well....feel free to delete it if it's a problem.

The point of my post - which admittedly might have gotten lost somewhere along the line - is that from my perspective (which again I don't propose should be important to anybody but me) - there is no "problem" with the Mini's pricing. It is what it is, and in my mind is no less reasonable or...

I think a Cummins is a much better motor than a Powerstroke or Duramax. I think living in a big city would be like dying and going to hell. I think being married is infinitely better than being single. I suspect not everyone would agree with those opinions. So - I can't - and...

Unless you're hunting in country like this, then maybe not so much....
