Thanks for the replies, please keep them coming.... What do you know of the Browning A-bolt rifles? I understand they are good rifles... Are they still made new? Decent price? What would a good used one of those run?

I would like to know your experiences with any .270 Win. rifles out there... and any other "knowledgeable" input.... I need to buy a new, or kindly used, .270 Win for someone... Would like some input on what to look for, price I should expect to pay, what to avoid... Things like that... It...

How come so many people understand the concept of shot placement in SD, but fail to realize that the exact same thing plays into hunting? There is a reason all shooting competitions have a universal integral element, shot placement.... because that is the most important thing.

Well see, at least the OP STAYED IN THE AUTHORIZED ZONE... you, you're just, well, a piece of meat.... (please note unseen levity)... In all honesty I can understand why they keep some decent security on the nations largest repository of written material... I don't know what hoops you might...

As to the subject, I don't think I know anyone who got beyond childhood liking guns that, in adulthood, turned to an anti-gun person.... I know some who don't have guns, mostly because their mate doesn't want them around... I bet there are some out there that have turned to hating guns because...

Not sure if you are serious here or not (and not sure what B.......T means).... But here's a simple test..... hold a piece of paper with a hole in it (or make a hole between your two hands) and hold this out at arms length in front of you. Spot an object through the center of the hole with...

I have a friend who is right eye dominant (tested it) and right handed.... and he still insists on shooting left handed..... the world is a funny place

All the people I know of who are scared of bears have never experienced bears. I have studied bears, tracked bears, watched bears, photo'd bears, and hunted bears most of my life. I have no fear of bears.... none.... an understanding and respect, yes, fear of being attacked for no reason? no...

My clapped out Ruger P-89- $250 (bought new for ~$400 17(?) years ago) My decent but well used 870 Express- $250 (bought new for $150 16 years ago) My used Chinese SKS- $250 (bought for $100 10 years ago) All work flawlessly..... I built my solution a long time ago on a serious budget...

I recommend buying a copy of The ABC's Of Reloading and reading it cover to cover and then ask some questions and THEN decide if reloading is for you. If it IS for you, then buy a simple press and some dies and the Hornady Reloading Manual (or some equivalent), and start slow and steady...

I think the fact that he chased them down and tackled one proves he was not really worried about his safety. He was mad and chased them down, knowing darn well that it was just some kids. I'm not saying he should be charged, or that the kids should be charged (in my opinion the two stupid...

In Minnesota we have always been allowed to carry in the capitol building with a proper permit. You do have to notify the state that you may/or may not be carrying a gun in the capitol and on capitol grounds before hand (one letter stating your intent to the state, and a photocopy of your...

I walked right up to the guy with the wand at a nightclub.... he wanded over me with it going off conspicuously when he reached my gun (2 o'clock IWB).... I reached in and pulled out my keys and he waived me through.... I sat there for a little while until I rationalized that I probably don't...

I wear a ultra light .38 spc. at 2 o'clock in an Uncle Mikes holster that is nothing but a fabric sleeve with a belt clip on it. I can sit for many hours with it on and not notice... but sometimes it does need to be arranged a little... in the car I wedge it between my seat and the center...

How about you take constructive criticism for what it is? That might be better for everyone involved. The obvious flaws here- You shouldn't be moving ahead with a press that isn't working right. Plain and simple. No matter how 'close' you watch your press it just enhances the chances of a...
