I have the BAR, Belgium made 30-06 setup with a Bushnell 3x9 scope. It has iron sights that I keep zeroed just in case. The Browning has pretty tight chamber tolerances that I found out reloading for it. But I figured out the deal and now reload for it with 165 gr BT. After some...

Shooters, I had a 270 for many years and now have a 30-06. The 270 is a necked down 30-06 cartridge. I used to think it would shoot flater than a 30-06. In fact when you shoot a 270 with 130 gr BT vs a 30-06 with a 165 gr BT the 270 drops 6.5 inches at 300 yds and the 30-06 drops 7.9...

Hit "submit reply" before thinking... I think this may be a case of posting before thinking. Hope the girl recovers. If it happened in California she would probalby sue the organizers. Mix bears and people and occasionally a bear gets fired up and attacks. It happens in Glacier Park...

Shooters, I got this from my Uncle Lee, a Korean War sniper and VN War vet. I was not sure whether to post under legal, general gun, ot strategy and tactics. Enjoy!

Open Carry in VA is OK anywhere unless specified (like the gun-free student killing zone at VA Tech). CC is OK if you have a eprmit but you have to go to open carry in a place the sells booze. Makes no sense to me and we are fighting it in VA.

Depends I have a 45 Auto and two 357s. I prefer the 2 inch 357 for CC. I have a scope on the 8 inch Ruger for hunting. The 45 usually stays home unless I am going to shoot. But this is just me - this is a very personal thing, IMHO. I prefer the Ruger SP 101 revolver for my personal...

Ruger SP 101 http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/FAFamily?type=Revolver&subtype=Double%20Action&famlst=9 In 2 inch barrel, no hammer. Solid weapon. I just got this holster from Ray's Holsters & Accessories for $41.95. Good buy and excellent quality leather and fit...

Pistol for the ladies but shotgun if I have time... Thanks for the poll. Always interesting to see the results. We keep a 357 in my wife's night stand and I have a 45 semi auto with a laser sight in mine. Shotgun is in the closet - but only for my use...and if I have time to get it in...

Exercising rights... First, I have been to this site (www.opencarry.org) before - but I found it informative. Thanks Prometheus for the info. A couple quick thoughts. During the cold war we used to go thru exercises of our US/UK rights under terms of the end of WWII. The Soviets...
