    Got my Pardner painted up!

    None the less, it's unique.

    Glock 20 6" barrel for self defense too?

    jmr40 is right. If you want to take the chance of blowing up your gun, your hand, and putting pieces of metal into your face, then don't worry about needing full chamber support for "even the hottest loads". Another poster previously mentioned bubbles in his recovered brass. It's also known...

    Glock 20 6" barrel for self defense too?

    Fwiw, here is my opinion. Keep the stock barrel in for your social work. If you want to get a 6" barrel for hunting don't bother with a glock barrel. Get a lonewolf, kkm, or storm lake. By getting one of the aforementioned barrels with better chamber support you will be able to safely...

    Older Ithaca 37s

    I grew up hunting with a model 37. I like the short movement of the forend required to cycle a cartridge compared to the mossberg 500. The featherweights are indeed light and a joy to carry in the woods all day. Depending on what your needs will be I would get a 37 and buy two barrels. One...

    Hornady 168 gr. BTHP Moly coated, made a mistake.

    I bought these by mistake and did not realize that they had this moly coating on them. I was planning on loading them to shoot through my Remington 700 30-06. I looked at some posts on other forums. However, everything on the matter seemed to be almost a decade old and there was a large...

    Noob Question- Marlin Xs7 and Boyds Stock

    I have considered bedding the action as an option. However, I want to shoot this rifle quite a bit in its current configuration before making that transition. Just like I did with the factory stock before switching to the Boyd's. I am new to "high powered" rifles but not shooting in general...

    Noob Question- Marlin Xs7 and Boyds Stock

    I just received a new Boyds Featherweight Thumbhole stock for a Marlin Xs7. Once I place everything into the new stock I notice that the barrel is touching the stock down the left side. I tried moving/ adjusting but there really isn't much room for adjustment here. I assume that this...

    What Grain of V-Max

    RC Model and CJK8 both make great points. After all the hours I've spent on these forums I have never heard of bullet length being the factor of stabilization. I'll stay tuned.

    First Hog (or any other type) Hunt for the 3 of us

    GREAT SHOT on the first pig. Now get into small game hunting (birds, rabbits) for some challenging shooting at something moving.

    Bullet went between me and neighbor!

    He stopped her from calling the sheriff because it wasn't needed. While I agree with the OP that he could handle the situation he did so only partly. I won't comment on what he should have done, rather what I would do. I probably would have approached them (face to face, with a handshake) and...

    Backpacking Holster for S&W 629 Classic 6.5" (44 Mag)

    Check out Diamond D's Custom Leather. IIRC Hickok 45 carries his 45 and Glock20 in one. Scootch also has one for a 1911. I plan on getting one when funds allow.

    I'm Fed up

    Three inch groups at one hundred yards and that qualifies it as a good hunting rifle? I think not. The OP is well within the bounds of reason to expect better groups than that. Who wouldn't? I know this is elementary but, make sure that your scope is screwed on tight, how fast are you...

    New Reloader, Seating and Crimping Question .40 cal

    No I couldn't get it to focus. Sorry, I tried. Crappy camera i guess. The bullet was wrinkling.
