That prairie dog looked upset. Is he going to be OK?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the 72 hour stay. My gun rights were almost taken away once when I was completely innocent. Sometimes being accused is all it takes. I think selling them and buying them back later is the way to go. Even if you take a hit on the price when you...

I think it is important that both you and your daughter like it. Nothing wrong with "...we like..." I wouldn't buy a gun for my daughter unless we both liked it. Is there any way you could have her shoot your friends gun with some light loads to see if she likes it? I wouldn't be too worried...

I just bought an XS7 in .308. I'm glad to see these numbers. I have only shot mine one time and I didn't have a very sturdy set up. I can't wait to get back out there and try some more. Snakum, You mentioned the Brown Bears not ejecting well. Do you think they got sticky from the lacquer? I...

I found out that some of the girls I knew didn't like it when I shot little birds with a .22. *poof* "Why'd you do that?" I don't shoot little birds any more unless I feel threatened.

I picked one uo at Big 5 for $99. Doesn't really help much if you don't live near one though...

MCgunner, The squirrels I have shot with a .22 LR didn't seem to show a huge amount of damage. It has been probably 5 years since I have shot a squirrel so my memory of the wounds is a little fuzzy. Did you mean .223? They sure are tough little guys though. I remember one I shot as a teenager...

gunnutery, I had the same problem with my bayonet. I picked up a 91/30 last month. I didn't grind on it but seriously considered it. I whacked mine with a rubber mallet but I just had to whack it even harder to get it off(it still didn't go on all the way.

I picked up three guns this last month. a Marlin XS7 in .308, a Stevens 200 in .223, and a Nagant 91/30 It's been a good month.

To avoid "over gunning" small game with a bigger rifle does anybody use FMJs to make shots less destructive? Does the shock of the big fast bullets still do "explosive" type damage to the little targets? Would they kill game cleanly? I'm talking about anything from a rabbit with a .223 to a...

Stevens 200 I picked up a Stevens 200 in .223 on sale for $200. It ended up being cheaper than the break open so I pounced on it. I haven't been able to take it out yet(scope base came in the mail yesterday). All I can say so far is that the trigger will need some work. It is usable but far...

For my .17 HMR, .223, and .308 I use scopes. For .22, muzzle loader, 12 gauge, and Mosin Nagants I use iron sights only.

I can't pass up a deal on a gun. I was in the market for a medium/big game rifle and decided on the Marlin XS7 in .308. I have only had a chance to shoot it once and I love it so far. About a week after I got the Marlin I found some Stevens Model 200s on sale for $200 bucks. I had also...

Good find LaserSpot. What kind of world is this if we can't believe everything we read? Haha.

If I'm not mistaken, the guy in the picture from the article on the hpmuzzleloading site is Tony Bridges. I have one of his muzzleloading books. It was published in 2004. In it, he promotes the amazing smokeless powder muzzleloaders like the Savage 10ML II. In fact, I think it is a Savage that...

Another new member I have been messing around with pistols for the last few years but have recently gotten back into rifles. I used to hunt small game a bunch as a kid. I want to get into that again and throw some big game in the mix. I have been reading posts here for quite some time and have...
