I like doublestar. They're cheap and local. I also like their logo much better than Stag, although they font they use for everything else leaves much to be desired. Still, 100 out the door is good enough for me.

Has anyone here reloaded with any of the Berry's plated bullets for .30-30?

If technology rebates are any gauge then it will probably take a few months, I usually see stuff from November show up sometime in early to mid spring.

I don't think this has been brought up but Federal, Winchester and Remington are all offering mail in rebates for some of their ammunition. It's mostly hunting type stuff and pretty limited in scope but every little bit helps. I know I won't say no to $5.00 a box .30-30. Some sporting...

If you don't mind having to pay for shipping the item back if you're not satisfied any vendor who's worth dealing with should give you an inspection period.

End result $225.00 for a 336a with OK-ish BSA "Huntsman" 3-9x50 scope on Weaver "see through" rings. The scope's nice, certainly better than what comes with the 336a package deal, but it's no Nikon. It does have target turrets which is a nice bonus. It does have the crossbolt safety. The...

Dick's Sporting Goods just posted their Black Friday ads, 299.98 for a 336A w/scope, good Friday and Saturday (if you don't want to deal with the insanity endemic to those after thanksgiving sales). Experience has proven they will give rain checks for guns in case they're sold out. Edit: And a...

Well it turns out that my local Dick's Sporting Goods sold out of the 336As that were on sale. So I got a rain check, insurance if the gun show doesn't pay out.

Well, if the gun show turns out to be a bust Dick's Sporting Goods has a 336A with a scope on sale for $319.99. They've also in the past had them either on sale or significantly discounted on Black Friday. I know I'd rather go there than deal with the insanity that will overtake Best Buy or...

I give up. I'm going to the gun show next weekend to hunt for a 336 of some sorts.

Locusts, crickets and meal worms, all from some street vendor in Bangkok. Crickets taste terrible, locusts more like dry-roast peanuts soaked in soy sauce.

Has anyone here tried the new leverevolution cartridges in the XLR?

I think the farthest I would consider shooting is 200 or 300 yards, which looks to be really pushing it for .45-70.

I don't actually own any "hunting" rifles, everything but my 10/22 and my Rem. 1100 is a military pattern of some sort or another. I've never been hunting and may go, but I've decided to put together an all-round rifle that could conceivably handle anything that my .22 or .223 (AR-15) couldn't...

The gas cylinder is wobbling around a little bit - very little but enough to observe and hear. The locking screw is on pretty tight, should I be worried about this?
