What part of the country do you live in, and when are you going? In Nevada and eastern CA, dusk to night is the best time to shoot jacks, and a spotlight is great to get running rabbits to stop long enough for a shot.

I saw one at a show and talked to the Marlin Rep. They have a barrel nut like a savage, a trigger that resembles an accu-trigger, a 3 position safety (I think, it was awhile ago), and a push feed action. Other details are fuzzy, but I remember thinking it ought to do well since it's so...

Anytime I go into town I buy some small rifle primers just to have some on hand. They are the only thing the store I buy reloading stuff from is constantly out of. Yesterday I was in there and they had two shotgun primers, one large rifle magnum primers, and two small rifle primers. Of...

What did you hear about 30-30 being difficult to load? I can tell you, it isn't! It's easy to reload, lots of load data available, and tons of bullet choices.

Whatever you do DON'T get her a 410 and expect her to have a good time! A 28ga is perfect, like SM said, skeet shooters shoot their highest scores with 28. There's a darn good reason for that too; recoils like a 410, hits like a 12 is what we say. A 20ga auto is ok, but I've shot a couple of...

Are you saying you can buy a 22-mag snap cap and use it in a 17hmr? I don't see how that could work.

I thought it would be a fun project to refinish the stock on my favorite 22 rifle. I'm still trying to decide if that was a good idea or not... So much sanding!

I saw and handled one at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Convention in Reno. It's a big step up from the old post 64s, but then again, so is the price. It's more in the line of a Kimber or Cooper rifle than the old Model 70s or current Remington 700s. The trigger was nice, I think a lot of...

Wait, are you saying you paid $45 a hundred for surplus 223? Holy smokes I'm glad I'm a reloader!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If Putin has his way, there will be a new cold war arriving any minute! Lots of new 5.45x39, 223, 7.62x39 and 308!

Thanks Krag, I know there is a ton of info about 1917s, I just need to get pointed in the right direction. I'll check out Jousters.

A friend gave me a big box with some of his dad's old reloading stuff and some other gun things. Some things of note are the 1961 Speer reloading manual, the "22 Varminter" RCBS dies (now 22-250), and a really old box of surplus 30 cal bullets. Also in the box are two barreled actions! One is...

Is there an alternative place that sells the same products? I want to get the trigger kit and screws but I am definitely not going to buy through this guy.

Rcmodel, that's one hell of a sweet rifle you have!

And I'm seeing that for the first time that I can remember, 410 is cheaper than 28ga! But at $110 a case for 28ga AA, it should be gold plated shot, thank God I reload subgages!
