Well reasoned and accurate IMO.

Getting another upper sounds like a pretty good idea. Sometimes though, we just need to get a new gun. If that's the case, I like the idea of an 18"-20" bolt gun. I'm partial to Rugers so the American or American Ranch are intriguing. Stepping up a level I really like the M77 Standard or...

My first thought was Mini 14; you'd have basically the same action while meeting the .223 power level. Doesn't have the panache of a nice lever action. If I were going pistol caliber, an older 357 Marlin or a Ruger 77/357. Both about as accurate as each other and obviously lower cost to...

If punching paper is all you want to do, and do it accurately, a .22 lr or .223 would provide a nice balance of accuracy and affordability. Sometimes though, you just want to make a loud noise while sending the round down range. A 30 caliber (30-30: 308: 30-06: 300 win mag) would all fill the...

2 videos of Mosin's shooting at 800 and 944 yards open sights... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CTa2lMGN0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zmnYV2Z7EGU What I see with people are poor marksmanship fundamentals as well as cheap ammo hinder accuracy more than equipment. Whatever you get, buy some...

I have both guns mentioned in the original post. Find myself with the revolver much more often, usually pocket carry. If I go waistband I will usually take one of the plastic 9's.

I like the pellet gun idea. A Crosman 1322 with the standard 14.3 grain pellets traveling at 450 fps (youtube real chrony results) will give 6.5 fpe which is enough (barely) to take a squirrel. The pistol is 13" long and if you get the stock add another 12". The nice thing is the stock can be...

I said 642/442. "No Lock" version of course. It was a toss up between that and the SP101. I actually think the SP is a better gun for shooting, but as others said, it is the 642 which gets carried most often. It is just so easy to slip in a pocket for a run into the store or walking the dogs...

I've found a couple boxes at times. Never seem to have a large supply out there. Thanks for the links.
