    multi caliber AR

    I wondered about that. I knew the diameters were different but this just seemed to be the perfect solution. (heavy sigh) I guess nothing can be that easy... :cuss:

    multi caliber AR

    I had a friend tell me this weekend about an AR rifle that comes chambered in 5.56/.223 but you can purchase a separate bolt that changes that to .22lr. I'm very interested in this. I don't own an AR now but am looking to get one and would like to have the ability to plink with .22 but then...

    Honestly, any REAL reason to not buy an H&R 12g pump?

    I bought one for my son over the weekend (he's 13) and we shot yesterday and it appears to be a fine gun. We went through 3 boxes of shells and it only had 2 hiccups within the first 2 boxes, then it cycled cleanly. The only thing I could say is that the kick on it was sharper than what I...

    Bit the bullet, bought 2 shotguns Friday night

    I've been hunting with my father's old Sweet Sixteen that I dearly love. It's a '51 Belgian made model with the Poly choke on the end and have used it for doves, quail, and rabbit since I was a teen. The last couple of years those she seems to be showing her age by not ejecting spent shells...

    Remington 700 question

    Hoofan, It has only been fired in that rifle and reloaded at the most twice. I'll check with the guy that reloaded it and see if he resized the whole brass or just the neck. Thanks!

    Remington 700 question

    I have a friend who has reloaded a bunch of cartridges for my son's Rem 700, .243. My son had trouble getting one of the bullets in the gun the other day and when he did get it in, he couldn't get it out. I tamped it out and asked my friend about it. He was curious about whether the Remington...

    Rem 11-87 I wasn't that impressed

    I've been shooting an old Belgian Browning Sweet 16 that was my Dad's since I was a teen but I've had problems with it the last couple of years ejecting shells correctly. I took it to a good smith but even after that it occasionally mis-ejects so I'm looking for a replacement. It is approaching...

    Rem 11-87 I wasn't that impressed

    OK, I haven't shot one. Back when I was younger I shot an 1100 some and I dreamed of owning one. I looked at an 11-87 yesterday though, and I have to say that I just wasn't impressed. While there, I also had looked at a Benelli Vinci, which was a very nice shotgun but the way it came apart...

    Gun storage question

    OK, I'm just now getting back into hunting and shooting after a 25 year hiatus. I've got 2 sons now and they need to know how to handle and care for firearms. I seriously need to get a gun safe but the funds just haven't become available yet. Soon though, soon. My question is: I've read and...

    Browning semi-auto or Savage Mark II .22??

    Yesterday I went to Classic Arms and Bass Pro while at lunch. Classic has a REALLY nice new Savage Mk II with Accutrigger, heavy barrel and a Leupold scope. It waaaaas pretty. But they want $549 for it. I asked how much for it without the scope and they said $350. I checked the Savage site and...

    Browning semi-auto or Savage Mark II .22??

    Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the advice. I'm new to all this buying of guns so its tough to know if I'm making a good deal or paying too much. We got iced in over the weekend so I didn't get a chance to check out the Browning. Since I've already got 1 semi-auto I'd really like a bolt...

    Browning semi-auto or Savage Mark II .22??

    The scope is a an older Weaver 12X scope, and I thinks it's a 40 mm objective. I don't know much about Weaver scopes. The only thing that bothers me about it is there's a little rust on the barrel of it; Light rust but no pitting. Does anybody know anything about these I thought it was a...

    Browning semi-auto or Savage Mark II .22??

    Thanks guys - yeah my son has the Ruger 10/22 and he'll use that, but I'm still looking for one for myself that I'll be using at the Appleseed shoot. I was all set to just buy the Savage but then this Browning came into my sights just today. One thing about it, if I buy it, I'm gonna use it...

    Browning semi-auto or Savage Mark II .22??

    Hi guys! This is my 1st post here, I've looked around a bit and liked what I saw so I joined. Hope to be able to contribute in the future but for now I need some advice. I've been looking for a couple of nice .22s for my son and I. I got him a Ruger 10/22 with a Bushnell scope and I've found...
