My neighbor down the road is selling some of his pistols. Sorry I don't have pics, but here's the info I have. He's asking $800 each, and just wondering if these are fair prices. SW .44 MAG SS Model 629 4" barrel. NIB, never fired SW .357 MAG SS Model 686, 6" barrel, 7 shot SW 10MM...

I was happy to see that the local BassPro had ample supplies of .17 HMR (Hornady) in stock and the 200 round bricks of CCI .22 mag (the Swamp Guy variety) The .17's were $14 a box, and the .22 Mag was $43 of box

"A number of years ago a sporting goods store went out of business and had a going-out-of-business sale. They had bricks of Winchester SV Target .22 for $10 per brick. My brother bought 30 bricks, which is 15,000 rounds. At the time, I made fun of him. Now I'm buying from him. Ya just never...

Have you ever sold a particular make and model of a gun, then later on, bought it again? A few years back, I sold a Remington 1100 and a Browning A5. A couple years later, realized how much I missed both, hunting doves and pheasant and purchased both of them again. Am I only one of...

WWI or WWII era 1911

Before complaining here with a post, yes, it was reported to both the local authorities and the ODNR

Yes, after 33 years of trapping, I'm very familiar with Ohio's laws, and trapping. By the time my BIL got there, they were long gone. The public parking lot down the road was empty as well, in retrieving any license plate numbers.

These animals in foothold traps are not in misery. They are simply detained. Some trappers carry a .22 to dispatch animals, which results in minimal damage to the pelt. Personally, I don't use a firearm to dispatch animals, from coyotes on down. I don't like the holes in the pelt, or the...

Just wanted to vent here a second, but I want to know what causes a deer hunter, to walk up to a legally trapped fox or coyote, on private or public land, and feel it incumbent upon themselves to shoot it, point blank, in the chest, with a slug gun? I realize the trapping community here is...

Stopped by Wallyworld yesterday, to grab a few items. Strolled back to the ammo counter, and they had just put out some .22. I don't need any, but some of my shooting buddies do. Grabbed three 222 count boxes of Winchester, for $10.47 a box. The Remington 50 round boxes were $2.37

In Ohio, we’ve been limited to slug guns and muzzleloaders for deer. (Until recent changes allowing for straight walled cartridges of certain calibers) However, I was drawn for a small, local airport controlled deer hunt last year. Any rifles of any caliber could be used, with no limit on...

Not around here. The LGS, pawnshops and local guns show dealers still have used guns at peak panic prices.

I don't see derringer listed in poll:rolleyes:

How often do you purchase a gun, if ever, solely driven by impulse? It’s not something on your wish list, fits a specific need, or one you searched for, for years. Just simply purchased based on the mere premise of, “that’s kind of neat, price seems good, think I’ll buy it”. Seems like...
