My son and I are thinking about putting scopes on our Ruger Super BlackHawks. As this is new to us, we are not sure whether to go with a fixed power or variable. Also, we have been looking at the Bushnell Elite, Nikon Force and the Weaver Classic. Any thoughts on these ? I know many people...

Being from the old school, I carried an M14 for two years in Vietnam. The Mini 14 is a good replacement. I want it just as a fun gun. I was never into the black guns. I want to take it to the range and just plink, maybe put in my truck, or added protection in the home. But mostly just a fun...

I have two of the rifles you mentioned, the Winchester 9422 and an older Marlin 39A. The Winchester looks great. It is very smooth and shoots great groups. But there is just something about the Marlin. It is a little heavier, but feels great in your hand. On top of that, it is probably one...

I have been giving a lot of thought into getting a Ruger mini 14. Don't know much about them but from what I have read, the people keep referring to different series. I have a friend that has offered me a series 195 for a good price. It comes with an Ultra Dot red dot and two extra 30 round...

What are the differences in the Mini 14 series? I am looking at a Mini 14 in Series 195. Is this a good gun to purchase or would it be better to get a new one? The gun looks good and comes with an Ultra Dot plus two 30 round mags as well as the original 5 round mag. I just don't know enough...

In my opinion, if the .308 is not the all around best cartridge for whitetails, it is one of the top three.

CFletch, I came home from two years in Vietnam and still was not old enough to buy a drink. I was six months from turning twenty-one...............I'm 65 and have a few.

We purchased SKS cases. What is the opinion of these? My son has a single case and I have a double case.

The lady I talked to was at a real UPS center. She said it used to be we could send long guns without an FFL, but not anymore. Now it must be FFL to FFL. I was planning on sending the guns directly to the outfitter.

Okay, I've just been shot in the foot. My son and I are planning a hunt in Wisconsin this November. Rather than carrying our guns with us on Delta, and trying to avoid the destructive handling of the airlines personnel, we planned to ship them by UPS. So, I stopped by UPS to make sure this...

7600 I keep reading on here that the pump rifles are not accurate and not as fast as a 7400. I have to disagree. I have a Remington 7600 in .308 and it is probably one of the most accurate rifles I have. The first time I shot the gun, I shot a three shot 3/4 inch group at 100 yards. The...

For those of you that asked, I am going to Buffalo County, Wisconsin and it could be the trip of a life time. It is strange. I asked the same question on a different forum and almost all the responses were for me to ship the rifle either UPS or Fedex. As for shipping, most of you that said...

Need a consensus. I am taking my first mid-west rifle hunt this year at the age of 65. I will be hunting whitetail in Wisconsin. Living in Florida, I have taken out of state hunting trips before, but they have always been by car. This year I will be flying. I have two concerns. Do I take...
