I have problem with Ruger's stock design also. It kicks the crap out of me no matter what cartridge I'm shooting. I would suggest a new stock of a different design from McMillan. That way you upgrade the stock, get the LOP that fits you, and a better recoil pad. At a minimum, get a new...

Zeiss has the Conquest line which is a great "entry" level scope. I would rate the optical quality better than Leupold and close to Swarovski. The upper levels of Zeiss are basically equal to any other scopes out there but you will pay a lot more. I have a lot of different brands of scopes...

There's someone selling a pistol from Puerto Rico on another forum. I was interested but I do not know if there are any difficulties or different rules? Are there scams coming out of Puerto Rico? I would like to buy the pistol but am hesitant.

My idea of the desk purpose was for a traveling merchant. Or a gold trader during the goldrush era. Or even a mariner due to the use of brass over steel. Basically the secretary would use the desk to write down information of the transaction. If the seller decides to get a little fiesty...

Wobble won't affect anything with the rifle. But I can see how it would annoy someone. Another easy fix is an O-ring around the studs of the upper. (I don't know what it is called.) The area of the upper that extends into the lower and the retaining pin goes through. Accuwedge also...

They are great at reducing recoil. A little better than Pachmyer. The problem is they have a habit of melting (not from heat, just melting) or becoming very sticky. They said they fixed the problem and it was a bad batch but I still had that problem with an Encore pad I bought. I would go...

Wow, I can't believe this is still going. Janodad, Hopefully you have your gun by now. I can help answer your question. From what the ladies told me, waiting to clear up NCIS depends on the goverment agency they are requesting the information from. If that agency/state doesn't give it...

Kimbers, while nice, seem to be hit or miss accuracy wise. Sometimes it's just rebedding other times it needs a new barrel. Remington seems to be pretty good accuracy wise and the rumors say the action are basically a semi-custom. But they are not as trim as they could be. Brownings are nice...

http://www.theboxotruth.com/ Interesting website. The made a box with replaceable dry wall sections and shot several types of ammo at it in several calibers. Gives an idea of how a bullet reacts to drywall.

Just got done playing with a Vinci at the local fun shop. It does feel very well balanced and light. But there is a lot of plastic in critical areas. The most notable is where the reciever connects to the stock. There is a little plastic rod that is supposed to fit in a hole into the stock...

oneounce, The gun fits me fine, I think. Pulling the gun up like I would when shooting at birds/clays I just see the bead. No rib, just bead. I'll admit that I don't have the best form and I'm not the best shooter. When I shoot, I can't tell you what I'm doing since I'm just shooting on...

I bought that platform thing back in my earlier and more niave days. I still don't know what I was thinking. Right now I'm about ready to stick this between two trees and start pulling. I have the lowest shim possible right now. I do hit ducks but just not solid as I would like. I...

I'm shooting a Benelli M1. I did change to a larger bead that sits flat on the raised rib. When I shoot, all I see is the bead, no rib. This is how I shot other M1's and not had this problem. My current shotgun started with a small bead sitting on the rib, but the small bead was harder...

I have been patterning my shotgun and found I'm shooting a little low. If I shoot at a rifle taget, the top of my pattern is hitting the center of the target. The center of the pattern is about 6 inches low at 20 yards. I've already tried different chokes and shells. Most of them pattern...

Thanks for the information guys. I always wondered why so many people like shotguns for HD.
