In 1970 a friend got a new Ruger 41 magnum. We spent the whole afternoon shooting it without protection. My ears still ring. Sometimes it is deafening, usually it's just there. Today, I don't go to the range without plugs and muffs. PS: I always carry extra plugs. Some guys, mostly younger...

I HAD a brother-in-law who was a trained firefighter . His house caught on fire in the crawl space. He went under the house with two 2 3/4 lb dry chem extinguishers. He did not try to put the fire totally out, he just kept the flames down until the FD got there. He explained it this way; The...

I have two Dillon 550's, a rockchucker and a RCBS Junior. I have come across several other single stage presses over the years and passed them along to others. I love my Dillons for handguns. One is set up for large primers and one for small. The single stage presses are used to load rifles...

My number one, go-to rifle is an '03 Springfield in .308 Norma mag. In 1984, I put a Leupold 3-9X40 Vari.X 2 on it. Eye relief has never been a problem. The only problem I have is it is beginning to get scratched up. I would send it to Leupy to be re-coated, but it has not needed any...

Two Contenders w/three barrels. Two44 magnums and one 45 colt/410 All for $400.00

A Remington Model 660 in 6.5 Rem mag to match my 350 mag.

I'll second the 308 Norma Magnum. A great cartridge. Been shooting one for forty years. If I had to escape with only one rifle, it would be the 308 Norma. I pull the trigger and something drops dead. DRT

I've bought two Ruger three-screws at garage sales. The first was a 44 flattop for $400.00, the other was a 41mag. I sold it at a profit/

Idon't guess I've bought more, it just made me concentrate on FTF private sales. And large cap mags.

I like big bores with big recoil and a D#$% good recoil pad. The only rifle I have ever backed up from was my 458 win mag. I loaded it up to max with some 405 grain bullets. I shot twelve before I remembered that shooting is supposed to be fun. LOL All my other Rifles save one have magnum...

duh!! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks.:uhoh:

Can I legally send brass to Canada? I put some 44 mag brass up for auction and the high bidder lives in BC Canada. I have it all boxed up and now, I am having reservations. I do not want to get crossways with the Fed Gov. Can someone give me the straight scoop?

Okay, now you have to tell the rest of this story....

Good luck. I have a Model 345 20 guage Stevens, and I have been looking for barrels for it for about five years. Sadly, it's barrels are bent too far back to cut off. They would be only about 16 inches.

Alaska; No permit required!! You can get one but you only need it if you are going to carry in another state where it is required.
