    Remington Sportsman 74 Auto

    I have the opportunity to purchase an excellent condition Remington Sportsman 74 Auto in 30-06. The rifle comes with a sling and tasco 3x-9x scope attached. I believe these were manufactured in the late 80's. (correct me if I am wrong) I do not know much about this particular model and was...

    Value of these rifles...?

    Thanks for asking. I did get a chance to bid on each of these rifles, however the final bidding exceeded past what I was willing to pay on all of them by a decent margin. On the bright side, I did obtain some valuable auction experience and there are more auctions scheduled to occur in the...

    Any tricks for cosmoline removal?

    ^+1 I agree here. I put my stock inside a black contractor bag outside in the sun and let it sweat itself out. I wiped it down with a rag every so often until it was pretty well clean. As far as the barrel and other metal components, I used mineral spirits and it worked great. Just...

    Value of these rifles...?

    I have the opportunity to sit in on a sportsman auction tomorrow for 52 different firearms. A few sparked my interest which I didn't know much about let alone a fair value of what they could be sold for. I am hoping my fellow highroaders can at least get me in the ballpark range of what these...

    Any Experience with a SIG SP2022?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. It truly sounds the hidden gem of the SIG line that performs on par with the other popular models for several hundred less then its fellow models. I guess even at a slightly higher price tag this would still seem to be a justifiable purchase.

    Any Experience with a SIG SP2022?

    Does anyone have any experience either handling or owning a SIG SP2022? I was looking particularly at the model chambered in .40 S&W, but even experience in handling the model chambered in 9mm might be helpful. I don't know enough about this SIG to quantify what sets it apart from other...

    Impossible to Apply for Pistol Permit.

    I would either go speak with the judge who will sign your permit or talk to the Rensselaer county clerks office. I know several people who have received their permits through Rensselaer and they say the required personnel are friendly and helpful. I live a few counties north of Rensselaer...
