I am getting a CZ 527 rifle in 223 Remington for varminting and want a 6-20x or 6-24x scope for it. I was hoping not to spend a lot on the scope. I saw that Bushnell makes a 6-24x scope, the "Bushnell Banner 6-24x 40mm Matte Mil Dot 716244" which sells for only $121. Compared to the $500-600...

I have the CZ 452 Lux in 22lr and did not have to use see-through mounts for the scope. I did not remove the iron sights either. I did however end up with the scope (Bushnell Sportsman 3-9x, 40mm objective) objective end with only about 1/16" or so of clearance above the rear iron sight. But...

I shot my CZ 17hmr today at the range and I got inconsistent results at 100 and 75 yards , which suprised me since I usually get tight groups. Some of it is because wind knocked the bullets sideways, but also I wondered if it might have had to do with the fact that I had forgotten to clean out...

It was helpful that a couple of you mentioned the set trigger can be deactivated. I might like that better. I do actually shoot on the left: not because I'm left handed but because I'm about blind in my right eye. However ever since I started shooting it's been on the left with right handed...

That's good to know about the CZ set trigger: I did not know it was adjustable. I am considering the lighter version, the walnut stock, since I want to be able to walk distances with it. I leally like CZ rifles: have two others in rimfire calibers, they're very accurate and I love them.

I gave a kid a dart set when he was 8 and some caretakers got mad at me. "Darts are for adults!" they said.

I am contemplating these two rifles and would like input about experience anyone's had with each. The CZ has a wood stock, blued barrel, 1 in 12 twist and has a set trigger. The Savage is black plastic stock, stainless barrel, 1 in 9 twist, and has an "accutrigger" adjustable trigger. I'm...

What is SCOTUS?

The problem is, who defines "mentally ill"? According to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, used to diagnose individuals in treatment), one definition of "mentally ill" could be if one is addicted to caffeine. (Substance abuse). I think only certain types of...

I hate that "adventure pass" stuff they have implemented in Southern California. Up in Northern California you don't have to pay to use YOUR OWN public lands, which is as it should be. In Nevada, all the more so. Someone should shoot down that $5 adventure pass stuff. HOwever, at least we...

I don't know if anyone has already put this info on this site, but I just came across this info. This is the District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision on March 9 2007 which is in favor of appellants who argued that the Washington D.C. gun control laws violate their Second Amendment rights...

From what you're all describing, Canada sounds like a horrendous place to be a gun owner. (Although apparently Britain would be worse, with no guns allowed at all.) Not allowing the use of guns for self-defense, especially in one's own home, is the most idiotic thing. I live in a US state...

I think it's encouraging that from what you say she is AFRAID of firearms, not someone who HATES firearms or has a very close-minded position about guns. If it's a fear, perhaps it is a fear that can be unlearned. Maybe before trying to go shooting with her, talk to her about her fear, find...

I am hoping to get a CCW for the state of Nevada. I do not reside in Nevada but I travel there a lot. I read in another thread that if you have a CCW in a particular state, it comes up when your driver's license is searched, for instance on a traffic stop by police. Is this also true if your...

I was wondering, are handguns legal to own in Canada? I thought I heard that Canada doesn't allow guns to be used for self-defense. I wasn't sure what that meant. Hunters sometimes use handguns, but seems like non-hunters are not very aware of that.
