Comparing a Mosin to a '03 is ridiculous. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 4

Nice accuracy. My bet is that by chopping and crowning the barrel, you improved the accuracy. It's a big misconception that a shorter barrel is a less accurate one. Stiffening the barrel contributes to accuracy. So does chopping off inches of muzzle wear from those steel cleaning rods. Good...

The provision removing the ban on hunting with suppressors was placed into a larger bill that broadened where we can legally carry concealed handguns here in the great state of NC. It was placed in there by my own representative from Wilkes County, Shirley Randleman. Believe it or not, (I'm...

That's what I was thinking. 300-400 was what I had in mind. $1200 is insane. Although the one in the auction has been refinished. Mine was still in the greasy arsenal wrap when I received it, and the wood was very nice, but nowhere near that polished.

$1295? Really? I have one of these, perfect condition, that I paid $80 for back in the day. These are the ones with the grenade launcher attachment on the muzzle. Are they completely crazy at SOG, or is this anywhere near an actual value? If so.....:neener: Cool.

Write an email to Ruger and Smith and Wesson now. Urge them to do the same. Ruger has an excellent link that allows you to quickly send form letters to your representatives. Imagine if they started suddenly hearing from their customers asking them to take the same stand. No Ruger products...

Love mine. Handy small package that delivers a wallop. .357 out of a rifle is a much different animal than out of a revolver. I've killed a couple of deer with it. Very slick rifle.

Not sure I agree with that. A pump shotgun with an 18 inch barrel is very maneuverable. And a WHOLE LOT more powerful stopper than a handgun. Don't get me wrong, I like handguns. They're portable and concealable. But if I hear breaking glass at 3 am, I'm grabbing the 870, not a pistol.

Interesting how almost this entire discussion centered on handguns. Yes, you can certainly be assaulted while out and about. My main concern, however, is the protection of my family. At home, I follow this logic: .45 ACP: muzzle energy 500-600 ft/lbs (with the right ammo) 12 gauge...

I like mine. My son deer hunts with it. I've personally killed a couple with it. As long as you're using a stout load and keep it to within 100 yards, it does the job. Very light and handy too. Some of them (mine included) are a little rough to start with, but after a few hundred rounds...

Shooting steel over the top of a plowed (and dry) clay field makes it easy to walk 'em in. Fun stuff. Sorta like field artillery.....:D

People get very touchy about this topic, but the fact is that the skill of shooting is important. Knowing how to shoot and shoot well, from all positions, when it mattered is what has kept this a free nation.

The Savage Cub is a nice little rifle, too.

In the price range you mentioned, you might want to look at the Marlin 795. It's a very well made little autoloader, and it's as small or smaller than a 10/22 so it would fit a young man well. it's not so small that he couldn't use it as a teen or adult, though. I've seen them as low as $120...

MAS45 trainer .22lr 25yrds no rest "hasty" sling (couldn't find my web sling to get all proper and all) prone I score this as a 25-3X Been a while since I did this, but I think military peeps were still counted as sporting instead of target. Either way, they're fun....

Wow. I met Catfish at a wedding once. Had I known we both loved Nylon 66's, we would have had much more to talk about. Seriously, though, this is one of the most reliable .22's made. Most accurate....uh...no. But the magazine design feeds reliably and it will go bang every single time you...

Love mine. Also the only 22 I own that likes the Aguilar SSS. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Well, I own both and love both. Different guns, and as someone put it very succinctly, the SKS is a plinker that you can hunt with and the Marlin is a hunter you can plink with. That said...I do like the toys I buy to improve in value. I bought my Norinco in the 90's for $89 when they were...

I like the Rossi. I have one with a round 16 inch barrel. A tad rough at first, but slicked up nicely with use. There's a lot of info out there on how to perform actions jobs that supposedly make them smooth as butter, but it wasn't necessary with mine. I think this length or even a 20...
