    Forbes Rifles

    Anyone with any first hand experience with the Forbes Rifle. I want one because it would take me another 5 years to get the NULA. I just can't bring myself to spend 1500 on a rifle that has a rough action by the companies own admission in a YouTube segment they have. They claim the parkerizing...

    1911: 7 or 8 rd mags?

    Its a question of flush fit or not on 8vs 7rds. Never had an issue with a Mec-Gar magazine in any gun including 1911.

    Vortex Scopes

    4-16x50 Viper HS on a 6.5 Grendel. Loved the scoped but sold the whole package to get boat replacement funds.

    Savage 99 lever gun question

    I just bought a Savage 99E in 300 Savage in November. Condition was fair it had some light freckling but nothing that a good oiling couldn't remove. The wood(not walnut) was beat up, I would say heavily used but not terribly abused. Old enough to still have the rotary magazine but did not have...

    The Plan.

    Giving in is the worst idea ever. I say keep up the fight to keep AWB of any form from passing. If they cave now losing the majority is a given considering many of their own constituents won't vote for them again either. Write weekly to your representative. Write a hand written letter at least...

    First Duck Hunt- Ammo Question

    Kent is good as its affordable and quality. If this is your only duck hunt of the year and premium prices for ammo don't bother your Hevi-Metal is some good stuff. Mixed steel and Hevishot. Still 25 rounds per box and patterns are dense in my Benelli. I only go duck hunting a few times a year so...

    Beginers deer rifle

    Why not take the kid to the range and shot some appropriate calibers and see what he can handle or likes? Some small kids can take the recoil of larger rifles than you might think and some large adults are recoil pansies. Then go to the store with a budget. Let the kid pick. Maybe he wants a gun...

    My gun blew up what do i do?

    Don't get a lawyer from the start, but do record info on who you speak to about what and when. I would only start with a lawyer if I was seeking damages for injuries. Chances are they will ask a lot of questions but still bend over backward to make this right. Have the ammo handy so you can give...

    Raspberry bushes for deer or bear?

    Don't know about the deer but any it certainly will attract all sorts of wildlife when in season. I'd be out there fighting the animals off to pick those berries if I was you. Make some jam, a pie, or if your like me they hardly make it home.

    First hunting rifle

    You can pick about any rifle that you like the look of in your price range and go hunting and shoot small holes in paper. Its the glory of the age we live in. Pick the bolt rifle you like and pick a $200 3-9x40 scope and viola you have a good hunting rifle.

    Barrel Temps

    If you get that thing that hot that often you might as well not worry about the durability of the paint because you are gonna be buying new barrels very often. Not a bad, thing people make new barrels ever day whether I need them or not so if you wanna try to get it to glow thats all you. Think...

    .35 rem ammo

    I used Leverevolution for awhile and while accurate I also had feeding issues. Only tried them because I moved to flatlands with bean field and long straight logging roads. I solved the problem by getting a 270 for hunting in the open areas and switching back to Core-Lokts in the 35 when I go...

    HELP - Are 1911s Really This Bad?

    I have a fullsize SW1911 and the only failures I have had are when I was doing load development with bunny fart LSWC bullets. Never with factory or any jacketed bullets.

    Barrel Break-ins

    Anyone ever have a new rifle that maybe didn't shoot great or how you expected at first get better after completeing the break in procedure. I am about halfway thru the break-in instruction that came with the barrel and am not all that impressed just yet. I ask because the guns I have had in the...

    Ruger 22/45 and Vortex Strikefire?

    The Strike Fire is going to be very big for a handgun especially a 22. I haven't seen the Sparc but reading the dimensions thats probably a better fit.

    Ammo shipment missing - how to proceed?

    Check that they weren't dropped at a neighbors. The Fed-Ex guy here can't seemed to figure out which out house numbers and without fails leaves my bullets on the neighbors porch. My current UPS driver is lax about signatures which is OK sometimes unlike today when he left a paychecks worth of...

    ar-15 trigger

    http://www.precisionfirearms.com/40.html If you go with Tmney or Giesselle this is a better price than Midway. I just got my 3lb timney and a custom upper I am very happy with today. You might have inquire about whether or not its in stock, but it appears they are on backorder with Midway anyhow.

    New Grendel

    Today I finally got a big box of Grendel. Lothar barrel and lancer handgaurd put together by Precision Firearms. Timney trigger, Vortex 4-16HS with PRI rings, Mags EFX stock. The RRA reciever was part of my very budget carbine plinker. That "budget" AR has been officially blown. Now I am...

    CZ-75B ; SA, DA, or DA w or w/o decocker?

    I am biased. My first pistol was a 75 BD Police. A CZ before being CZ was cool, paid 325 you are jealous don't deny it. So my go to gun will always be it over anything else. I just don't like the orientation of the safety lever on the other CZ's so I may always be a decocker person when it comes...
