Hi everyone, I had a look through the site(and other places) and couldn't find anything on sabots for reloading 12 gauge that hold .458 bullets, I am aware of ones that hold .452 and even 50 cal pistol bullets but I cant find any .458 size sabots. I would love to make use of these for lead...

Hi everyone I have been digging through various posts about advice for carrying weapons into and out of Maryland. I am set to go on a business trip there for 2 months. Typically I go to a location for 2 months, work there, and return home for a couple days before I fly out again. If my next...

Thanks guys I appreciate the advice.

Hi y’all. I've been shooting for some time now and my favorite bolt rifle is a early model savage 110 in 243 (yes I know that fits in a short action but this model was long action only during the years it was made). It has a Farrell base on it and a Nikon Monarch 4-16 with everything epoxied and...

I love seeing defense ammo tested on YouTube in calibrated ballistics gel. There are several guys who handle it well and do the science of ballistics some justice. While I love those tests, I am curious how standard hunting and/or defense rifle ammunition would fare at further ranges. From a...

Virginian, when I met him he was selling an early 90's Cooper firearms varminter in 22-250, and a mint Python. Both were beautiful and he was the original owner. I would assume he is a....."collector" as opposed to a guy who has a hodgepodge of everything. Both guys are one and the same if they...

I was at a gun show about 2 months ago and became embroiled in a conversation with an older gentleman who was selling off most all his firearms. He was explained that he had the, "one gun to rule them all" which for him was a maverick 88 shotgun. He told me that he was keeping his 1911, and a...

That was a great find sam1911, thank you for showing it to me. bobwright, I see your point right away, frankly I am ambidexterous and shoot just about all my pistols with both hands. I will be looking for a left hand rifle but I would have just as much fun shooting with my left.

hardluk1 that is an excellent idea as a source for a pistol stock. Thanks.

When I sat down and thought this idea up I first looked up the total length of a striker. In short action I see total length figures from 22.5-24 inches. This made me think as that is only 2 inches short of 26 total inches in length. I hear tell that folks lob off 2 inches of barrel to make...

I have heard of specialty bolt pistols( xp-100, strikers) made by manufacturers and custom jobs(Wichita arms and EABCO's pistol). I think it would be awesome to own one and I am debating back and forth between one of them and an encore(but that will be a different thread). I wanted to know if...

I do not, the .311 of the nagant wouldnt mesh well with a 30 caliber and the other way around. So far I see alot of 308's and 30-06's which I did expect. I had been considering 243 for weight considerations. its a tough decision, but I see the argument that 308 or 30-06 will get it done at...

I'm in the market to buy a new bolt action rifle. I have $400 to spend and I am set on a savage either used or a new axis or a Stevens 200. I just wanted to make that clear so no brand wars will occur. I have a 22 magnum that covers me out to 300 yards are so. it is light, accurate and I know it...

Either I'm screwed or in good shape...Ambidexterous in all things, no eye dominance. My folks checked that stuff early on for me and as a result they always bought a righty and lefty kids golf set (lefty was impressively hard to find I have been told), a righty and lefty baseball glove etc, and...

I have seen good reviews on the noreen. This rifle is going for I think $2800 right now. It is a single shot design with a shelholder bolt. I hear it gets 1 moa or better at 1,000 yards and each rifle you buy comes with a target that they shot a group with as well as the handloading specs that...
