    BIG BEAR RIFLE

    300 win mag What a joke, all that extra recoil for a measly extra 200 fps. I dont think so. .338 win mag is the way to go. My former boss swore by the 300 win, but he was an idiot! They are cheaper to buy as well. The 338 mag I mean. ~ Steve

    HD Thoughts. Mod 19?

    I use a s&w model 19 6" 357 as my HD gun. My loads depend upon what I have left over from the range. I own several other revolvers and semi autos but this is my preferred weapon. My logic is thus; I dont have to wake up to noises and such, half in a grog, and wonder about what state my...

    Can anyone ID this airgun? The barrel is stamped "Clayco China". The receiver is stamped "Shanghai China" and has some chinese markings as well. I looked on the internet and all I could find was that clayco apparently made AKs. It takes .177 cal pellets. Its a break top design and uses a...

    Lever action .35 remington

    I have a Marlin 336ER in .356 Win. It shoots like a dream and doesnt kick nearly as bad as I thought it would. The 356 is basically a 308 necked up, with a rim. Win came up with the 307 the same year. This gun can take down any game in North America easily, out to 200 yds. I dont know why...

    Ruger RedHawk

    retnav05, What caliber is your Redhawk .44
  11. R

    Looking for my first rifle.

    I like my Ruger 77/22 for small game. For deer, the 7x57 is my choice. Certainly not a spectacular round but recoil is very manageable.

    Wow, beautiful guns. I checked out the Ed Brown website and was really impressed with theirs 1911s. They said that they need a copy of your dealers FFL in their files. Was this a problem for you? Or was it on file? What was the process if they didnt have it. Have your gunsmith mail it to...
