3" sucks. +1 on all the basic comments, (barrel cleaning, check crown, look in their with a borescope if you can and see if it's trashed.) This is a perfect opportunity to trade up to that rifle you've always wanted but couldn't justify the expense. Gunbroker here you come...

This works at the kids apartment complex.

Honestly, it sucks here in this little town. One big player thinks they have the best deals in town, having the RCBS operations right next door (like that makes it a big deal) and they are usually 30% higher than any price you can find at shops lke Cabellas. There's a half dozen other smaller...

In response to the OP, I don't suppose there's anything out there I WOULDN'T drop the hammer on... 2 or 4 legged. I suppose also the circumstances surrounding the implied shot would come into play, but I don't have a problem with killing any of the animals listed, or birds for that fact, but...

keep both, stand the AK in the corner for bait when the Po-Po come kicking down your door and confiscating weapons after the hurricane, "for your safety", and after they leave with it, break out the AR with all those loaded 30 rounds Mags "for your safety"... LoL

this velco hold down on my shoulder rig is pretty tough (still new), so I'm guessing 3-5 seconds. If it's hanging on the kitchen chair, give me about 10 seconds tops. If it's somewhere else, the gun cabinet is only 4 steps past the kitchen and that model 12 with a 18-1/4" barrel (always loaded)...

keep packin, keep it concealed, keep your mouth shut, keep acting like a responsible citizen with rights and if & when he comes into the picture, you can deal with it then.

Outstanding replies, and they all make me think about the options. I DO NOT have a problem with where I live, in fact I've lived in this same house for over 49 years now and never had an issue with anyone wanting in that wasn't suppose to come in. I was just thinking...and trying to see in my...

OK, this might not belong here but with all the self defense training and stuff this crossed my mind the other day. Notice how ALL the doors in a house open "inward"? If the PO-PO or a gang of assult ninjas show up and want to use a battering ram to get in your house, they bang it against the...

bullseye with 200+ gr jhp and fmj

Up here at oroville we can go out to 550 yards, quite a walk! but when a break in the shooting happens like stated above, someone will yell "CLEAR" and hold up a hand, and as a courtsey, everyone will lay down or holster their weapon and acknowledge that request, usually by yelling back "CLEAR"...

wow, I didnt think there was such a thing as overkill... I have a .220 swift for overkill on varmints, and a 300 win mag for overkill on everything else.

Take a good long look down the inside of the die also. You may find a shiney spot or fleck in there made of brass! I had some primer pocket or other trimmings stick to the lube on the case then burnish itself into the inner polished surface of the die and do exactly the same thing only it left a...

please forgive my typo error on scope adjustment. After reading your reply I looked up and said to myself W.T.F did I write? I meant to say 195 clicks which gives me 48-3/4 MOA of total adjustment. I even just went out and checke the scope myself, screwing it completely up and down and found...

Bummer you're not closer. I'd love to take you out to the table mountain area and shoot some ground squirrels at 600 yards. Makes for a good tune-up for bigger animals at longer distances. Oh well... the local range here at Oroville only goes out to about 557 yards. Not too bad. Also, if you...
