Thanks for your input, I'll take a look on the 'Bay.

Evening THR! I recently picked up a Remington 700 tactical in .308 and plan to use it as a paper puncher out to a maximum of 600 yards locally, and hopefully get the opportunity to reach out to 1000 at some point. (1k yards is not a priority). I already have the base and 30mm rings, so my max...

.22LR pre-war Savage Model 7. Factory peep sights, etc; It's so much fun to shoot.

You also won't get action noise from a bolt gun. Just something to keep in mind depending on your purpose.

There's one in our family we stole for $60 at a pawn shop in 1994 or so. It had about an eighth of an inch of crud covering every surface. After a thorough cleaning, it's a solid, accurate, well performing rifle. It's a blast to load it up with shorts and go can-killing. I love the way it feels...

Good Day, THR I've been reading and lurking for a long time, and for the most part I've never had a question I couldn't answer myself with a somewhat diligent search. The collective knowledge here is amazing. I'm planning to go pawn shop hoppin' this Saturday looking for a super deal on an...
