    The Winchester Model 70

    I just got into the pre-64's and I am in love... I purchased the rifle off of gunbroker so was not sure what to expect... My first trip to the range I put the first three shots inside the one ich round bull at 100 yards. The scope was already sighted in. If I only knew before...

    Winchester Model 70 - South Carolina

    That is what I thought at first... But look carefully. They are not Winchester's from South Carolina made by FN. They are the older models. I do not want one of the older ones. I a, looking for the new models. Thanks

    I am trying to locate a new Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 or 308 new. I am specifically looking for one of the new guns made in South Carolina by FN. I have not had any luck finding them anywhere. Does anyone know of a source to find this rifle? Thanks Phil

    My heart says CZ but my brain says Sig

    Coltman 77, CZ's are not copies of Browning Hi-powers. They are entirely different guns. Phil

    Best place to get a CZ Kadet Kit?

    I got one from CZcustom. Wow, what great service. I mentioned to them I would like to get it for a class I am teaching and they offered two day FedEx very cheap! They were very communicative and courteous. That really makes me want to send my CZ-75B Stainless to them for an action & trigger...

    Best place to get a CZ Kadet Kit?

    Does anyone carry the kit with a threaded barrel? Would be nice to have so I could get a supressor later. Thanks Phil

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    Guys, Too be clear the gun is being offered for $600 with 4 mags and 300 rounds of 9m. It was bought new by a guy who shoots IDPA and put 3000-2000 rounds through it practicing and competing. Not a LE pistol. Given the 4 mags (hi cap) and 300 rounds of 9mm the price for just the gun is...

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    Pulse, I hear ya! Given my need to "feel good" about a purchase I will probably pass. I am going to focus on 1911's in 9mm. I know they are more but they give me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Call me wimpy if you want but I am happy with 9mm and do not need 45. Maybe if I shot...

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    schmeky, I hear you loud and clear... And I believe you, however, It is a feel good thing for me. I would love to try one but have never ventured into the dark side (poly or aluminum) because of my fear they will wear quicker. To me a gun should be made of wood and metal. At least a handgun...

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    Well, if that is the case then this seems like a pretty ugly deal. I guess I am not going to proceed. Thanks for the feedback!

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    This is why I like steel frame pistols. I have been scared to move to aluminum or even poly because it just seems as if they would wear quicker! thoughts?

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    How long is the warranty? Frame craps out around 10k to 20k rounds? That seems like a big spread! Hopw accurate is that?

    Life expectancy of a Sig p226?

    What is the expected service life of a Sig p226 pistol in 9mm? I am looking to buy a used one for $600 but it has about 3000-4000 rounds through it. It was purchased new in 2006. Is this minimal or something to be worried about? What should I look for? Thanks
