My last Oh Dad moment was last month when we went squirrel hunting for the first time in a very long time. I had gotten out of hunting over the last couple years and thought we should go out one morning. Well my dad has recently learned how to text. So instead of sitting there and enjoying being...

I asked the ATF agent when he did our inspection.

The 4473 as a "gun registration" is the one that gets me.

It's a top eject like I figured it was. I do have another 94 noob question though. Is there a way to tighten up the lever on 94s? I know most wobble a little bit but this is the loosest one I've seen. I thought maybe it just seemed worse because of the big loop but I'm not sure. It doesn't...

I assumed it was top eject as it doesn't say AE on it. I'll have to run a few shells through it when I pick it up. Thanks for all the info though guys! I've already been looking at sights for it but haven't decided which one. I know the reviews on it aren't great from what I've read but does...

It's been a little over 15 years since I've taken it, but I remember it just being an evening or two at the local high school. From what I've heard recently, you can do parts of it online now and then go in for some hands on training. I think the classes are supposed to be around eight hours now.

Howdy folks. I recently came across a Winchester 94 I couldn't quite pinpoint in my Blue Book. I'm very interested in purchasing it but I wondered if someone could help with some info before I picked it up. Anyway, I've come across a 94 with a 16 inch barrel, saddle ring, semi-buckhorn sights...

That's very understandable Oathkeeper. And it's also a pretty good example why I'll never attempt to hunt waterfowl.

Now that sounds fun. I've never had the opportunity to hunt elk but that sounds like a challenge. Not quite as much as bowhunting for elk, but a challenge. I've seen the guys on tv that shoot them from 1000+ yards and I never quite got that. Doesn't seem a lot like hunting to me, but I guess...

Hey folks. This year I'm thinking about doing a sort of old school hunting season. I've been messing around with my dad's "vintage" Stevens single shot 20 gauge recently and it's got me thinking. My dad used it for everything when he was younger. Birds, squirrels, deer... I kind of want to...

Just got home from the range a few minutes ago. The recoil with .357s was...tolerable. It stung the web of my hand a little bit but I don't think I'll be sore. I'm going to have to try some different loads to see if carrying it with .357s would be manageable. Need some more range time...

I'm going this evening to try .357s for the first time out of my LCR. All I could find were some old CCI Blazers a buddy had. May be fun. May not ever want to shoot .357s again. Guess we'll find out.

Ruger sells a HKS 36 on shopruger.com under LCR accessories. Of course you can find them elsewhere as well, just saying that's what Ruger lists.

Thanks USBP. That looks like some pretty sound advice. I'll use that advice this week and hopefully get to hit the range again next weekend and put it into practice.

All of this is just my opinion. I'm not exactly an expert marksman. The manual says to hold at six o'clock. At seven yards, that was way too low for me. Holding dead on, I was shooting about four inches low in about a four inch group. Like I said, I need some practice. I wouldn't doubt I was...
