Nice Rifle! Hey PMROY - You got yourself a darn good rifle! I actually came into a similar rifle years ago. It was my dad's. He purchased it while stationed in Europe. I believe that he bought it directly from the Styer plant (in Austria... I think?) Anyway, it's the nicest action/trigger...

Hey AF Raptor - I'm currently awaiting my first Saiga, and planning my first conversion. The gun (16 inch 7.62X39) was $350 + 15 shipping. you have to look around a bit, but there are some decent deals out there. The total for good conversion parts for a full job seems to be around $200. I...

Nikon at the dreaded Wallmart I just picked up a really nice Nikon Monarch EER 2X at of all places Wallmart's online store for my .44mag. The price was $199.99 for silver & I think 10 less for black. I don't believe that the actual stores carry this one, so you may have to order it. I found...

CCW XD .45 I love my XD. Most people would agree that in addition to a VERY good reliability rate, its greatest benifit is its capacity. However, fully loaded the XD weighs as much as a full sized 1911 and seems conciderably bulkier. Once again, I love my XD. If the SHTF I could think of no...

Great idea, but.... All of our hands are too sore from shooting to effectivly operate the keyboard. I'm in, even if I have to type with my toes.

Thanks P95CARRY Just popped off the grips & found the numbers: 9037 6xx Thanks again

I just picked up a S&W 8" 629 on an impulse buy. I had actually planned to buy a 6.5" barrel in a few months, but found a used gun in great shape & jumped on it. In any event, I was wondering how old this .44 mag is, if it can handle hot mags like new 629's, if this gun has a warranty like new...

Gander Mt. Prices Thanks ssteven1. I didn't know that Gander Mt. matches prices. That might come in handy someday. I've found that many of their prices here in michigan are somewhat high. I generally prefer to oggle the guns at Gander and then buy at one of two local shops. They don't have...

Went through 50 Magnums - just to see... I felt somewhat inspired by this post at a recent trip to the range. Like an idiot I tried to shoot a whole box og 50 125gr Rem JSPs. Now I know that it is very unlikely that any real life situation would require one, let alone 10 reloads...

Thanks for the reply. It makes me feel better that it is something that is not getting worse / dangerous.

I just noticed that the trigger of my 340pd is off center. By this, I mean that the trigger is angled to the right so far that it is even with the trigger guard on the right side of the gun. I've had no problem firing the gun and everything seems in good mechanical order. I was wondering is...

I'm in the same boat I too have been trying to decide between the two. My decision, however was made much easier because of a recent trip to Gander mouintain here in Michigan. I had stopped by to fondle their 686 4" 686. After being thouroughly impressed (although I would prefer a 5" or even...

Try It - Then Buy It! I've put several hundred 125 .357's through my 340 & believe it or not I've lived to tell the tale. It has gotten to the point though, that I try to avoid telling folks at gun shops etc. what I carry and wat I carry in it. I constantly hear things like: 1)"You don't...

Another vote for the J I pocket carry the S&W 340pd & Love it. However, it is at the top end of what I would consider "pocket carry" for the pants I usually wear. I looked at nearly every other option before plunking down so much $ for a snubby, but found that no other gun could match the 340...
