I am thinking of starting blackpowder and was considering a reproduction American Civil War rifled musket. Are there any good quality makers ? Leaning to a Springfield 1862 three band rifle.

At the range most people shoot there isn't much difference between best scopes and good scopes. It isn't until you go to long range and varying conditions that the real qualities of best scopes comes out. At 100 yards you really don't get a whole boatload of difference between cheap, good, and...

I would not recommend a Century CETME. The remake they do on them is very poor. Unless you want to get one and then sink a few hundred more into it as money becomes available. There is just too much to correct on them. I got one of the good ones and it still needed a lot of work. You will put...

I found one difference already before the range. I tried getting an additional magazine. Was told that the Baretta mag would work. Not quite right. It will load and function but will not lock into the magazine well. I compared the magazine catch slot in the Taurus and Baretta magazines. Size is...

I got the Nightforce that I was talking about. I would have had another reticle preference, but taking off $400.00 for some surface scrathing made it a deal I found hard to resist. It is on my M1A and is extremely good. I'll post a picture.

I got the Taurus. Haven't fired it yet, but I am very satisfied with the pistol. The safety and decocker work well. Pistol and two magazines for $375. Fair price from a private seller. So no tax, transfer fees, etc. I prefer private sales and that makes a big factor in how I look at the price.

I'm Robert Yanichko. Retired US Army. I do a good deal of shooting and much prefer rifles to handguns.

I'm Robert Yanichko, a new poster on this forum. I have done a good deal of shooting, but am stepping it up a level. My question is about reticles. I know a lot of it is personal choice, but before I committed a good deal of money on a new scope I thouhgt I would get some opinions. I can get...
