    What rifle would you recommend?

    Sounds like a job for *dahdadadah!* Captain .223! H&R make a nice single shot, a bud of mine has one. Another option could be the Norinco JW 105 if you get them there, same cal but 5 shot bolt. Those are selling by the container load here, cheapest new .223 on the market so far.

    Coolest gun for under $1,500

    No one else has mentioned it so I will: 6.5 X 55 Swede shooter, full milspec wood and period looking scope. Style, functionality and craftsmanship in 1 lovely package.

    Goodbye to a friend

    It's always sad to lose a friend, the more for being one of the few really interesting people you get to meet in your life that off set the drag of dealing with the rest of the herd. Out from under, up and running. Insh'allah.

    Curiosity question about the .22LR

    Hi Team. I was interested to discover a .22lr projectile is a just pressure formed piece of lead wire. Cheap and easy, fair enough. I like the .22LR, possibly the most useful round made IMO. However, my question is this (I'm not a reloader, so please bear with me) could you safely and...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Greetings from New Zealand. I found this site while researching a Savage 3B I picked up a while back (nice rifle, wonderfully functional), watched the threads for awhile then decided to chime in. I have 3 .22's and Savage .222/20 gauge but no hand guns which are very hard to own here. I live but...

    Safety catches, do you use yours?

    Thanks for the posts, team, interesting reading. I liked the movie BHD too. Just out of curiosity, did anyone find that chap in the chow line's argument "this is my safety!" a fair and reasonable explanation for why he was carrying a loaded assault rifle in a base canteen? Amazing looking pigs...

    Small game basics

    Given any thought to a fast air rifle? Working at a plant nursery I got the green light to carry my Hatsan Model 55 .177cal in my ute (pick up truck) and pop any rabbits I came across, I got a few a week every summer. It was a 1000 fps item firing 7.9 grain Crossman Copperheads. Aim for the...

    .22 Rifle + Optics Suggestions

    400 yards with a .22lr? One of my life guides is to put a full stop instead of a coma after "it's none of my business." and I'm going to apply it here. I would be keen to hear how you get on with that tho, it would be an interesting exercise. My Voere .22lr carries a Bushnell Banner Dusk & Dawn...

    Survival kit. What do you think?

    Useful load of stuff! My only suggestions to be added or substituted is a box of fuel pellets/tabs, great as fire starters or instant heat and my personal favorite, a 99 cent Frisbee. You can eat off it, chop food on it, makes a dandy safe flat surface for working on things with pesky small...

    Safety catches, do you use yours?

    Interesting posts. Most make sense. No, I've never been in the green machine, but I do have a fine appreciation of fire arms and what they can do. I've yet to meet the projectile that cared why it was being fired or which way it was headed. My whole argument is just this: firing pin back or...

    Safety catches, do you use yours?

    Hi Team. This is my 1st thread on THR, so if I inadvertently tread on some bunions, do please bear with me. Safety catches, useful or invention of the devil? Me personally I never ever use them, my thinking being that a safety catch prevents a fully loaded and cocked weapon from firing by...

    M 39 vs Lee Enfield No.4 mk1

    Hi Team. Who was it who said (something like) "The Americans fought WWII with a hunting rifle, the Germans with a target rifle and the British with a battle rifle."? I know little of the American and German offerings but have a passing acquaintance with the #4 Mk1 that my Dad used for a deer...
