    Risk of .308 fitting in .25-06?

    Txhillbilly: I may be dumb but you are an *******. At least I can acknowledge my mistakes for the benefit of others. I have shot for 56 years and never found it necessary to berate another for admitting an error. gary

    Risk of .308 fitting in .25-06?

    I can't answer specifically, but I once negligently fired a 3 shot group with .260 Rem ammo, through a .25-06. Similar in that .260 is based on the .308 case. I noticed nothing unusual until I checked the target and found a group over 3" from a sub moa rifle; and several inches from point of...

    .44 mag rifle?

    I am aware of no .44 mag firearm, rifle or handgun, that is not compatible with .429 bullets. Your friend sounds a bit mixed up, or perhaps his individual rifle was simply inaccurate. gary

    Starting to think about youth rifles

    Another vote for the Savage Rascal. I gave one to my 8 year old son a few months ago. It works great for him and he loves it, Nice trigger and very accurate. gary

    So it begins again... new rifle time.

    If you were hunting elk exclusively, I might reccommend a .338 WM if you have a bit of experience with larger calibers. For all round use, the .30-06 stays at the top of the list. In the lower priced rifles, the Tikka is my choice for a light rifle and the Weatherby Vanguard for a heavier...

    Just bought a complete blemished lower from PSA on a whim

    My PSA blem also appears flawless, though I'm sure some could see what caused it to be listed as a blem. gary

    Ruger GSR Purchased

    The Leupold 1-4x Scout looks very nice on my GSR, and provides enough magnification to regularly shoot MOA. gary

    New .455's from Webley?

    The following information was in response to a inquiry by josquin of the Canadian Gun Nuts forum. It is from Roger P Williams, director of Webley and Scott. The first line refers to re tooling lost machinery "You are right, and their are no excuses except to say it is difficult to pick up from...

    New .455's from Webley?

    The Indian Webleys cost around $1300. The government has a monopoly on civilian sales and discourages gun ownership by overpricing. You can read many reviews at www.indiansforguns. They are generally reported to be of poor quality. gary

    In defense of my Single Action choice......

    I have a Uberti repro of the SAA, along with my Webley's. Both among the greats. gary

    New .455's from Webley?

    In the days before anyone was concerned about the .45 acp in a Webley, I had a Mark V that I shot extensively with 230 gr hardball. It never gave me a problem. Respecting the current warnings about the potential problems, I shoot my MK VI .45acp with 200 gr lead target loads. More...

    New .455's from Webley?

    The manufacturer has stated within the last month that the Webley Fosberrys are beginning production and should be available in the US this year. We will see. Projected price was $800. Personally, I'm a bit more concerned about the quality of these than of something Webley will put their name...

    New .455's from Webley?

    A new Webley would have no more historical connection than any of the dozens of other popular reproductions of historical firearms. The British army found the .455's performance quite satisfactory for decades. Customizing, of course, would negate the whole purpose of this recreation...

    New .455's from Webley?

    I think they almost certainly would be made outside the UK, considering both their ban on handgun ownership and the fact that most Webley guns are now outsourced. I think they certainly will be exported to the US if made, as the largest world market for civilian handguns. gary
