I have a 22-250 Ruger M77 M11 with a 1" Weaver V16 scope. I cannot get the ring screws tight enough to hold. I want to replace the rings with something of higher quality. What would you recommend for under $100?

I have neither the gun nor photos of it. I'm just posting to help a friend determine exactly what it is he's considering buying.

Yes,A 44 American Bulldog. The gun has all the markings of a second model,but a poster on another forum that has written a book about IJ revolvers responded to a thread that included a pic of a Bulldog that his gun was a second model. Later in his reply he wrote that second model Bulldogs had...

Is there an Iver Johnson expert on the forum?

Anyone?

A friend has located an Iver Johnson American Bulldog 44. He does not have internet access so I offered to check it out. The number "1123" is under the grips. Can someone help me with info about this Revolver? Thanks.

I wanted to respond to a post that apparently was removed reqarding practicing speed-loading. The poster warned me about the posibility of shooting myself in the foot as did someone who's video was posted on Youtube. I always practice speed-loading with dummy rounds...never live ammo.

Thanks to all who posted. While I realize that CC in Illinois may be a long way off I think getting a CC gun now and learning how to use it well before carrying is a good idea. Buying a gun after we get CC in Ill would be unwize,as I see it. If/when it is needed I don't want to be fumbling...

Well now,Bill. If the end goal is a horse-drawn cart,I can see the wisdom of getting the cart first and becoming intimately familiar with it's particulars before I hitch a horse to it and,due to my stupidity,risk personal injury if the horse bolts. Then there's the likelihood that I may not have...

Poor choice of words on my part,TwoEyedJack. I should have written "would take him down". Somehow I cannot imagine anyone continuing to move in my direction after a 357 went through his torso.

Have not read the article posted,so this may have been covered. Last trip to the range another BR shooter said that he noticed I was placing my sandbag tripod stand on a piece of carpeting always available at the range. He suggested that a better way was to remove the carpet and place the stand...

I got into reloading 2 years ago and I figure I've gotten my rounds down to only about 3 times the price of factory ammo. I'm hoping to cut that in half before I pass. Like another poster said: Start-up. And it is addictive.

Another customer and I struck up a conversation about SD rounds and he told me that I needed a 40cal.,that the 38sp/357 was a poor SD round because they would just go through a man,not necessarily stopping him,but that a 40 would knock him down. I think I'll just hang on to my 357 and hope I do...

I've fired an LCR with both 38sp and heavy 357 mags. It's the S&W I can't get my hands on. My favorite gun shop quoted me a great price,then added that he could not get one. Stopped into the local Gander Mountain where they usually have more handguns in stock than anyone else in my area...

At over 2500 rounds and much dry-firing,my GP 100 is really smoothing out. The little S&W Bodyguard had a very poor feel and a harder pull than my stock GP.

I have a GP100,also,and purchased a Safariland speed loader. With a little practice I was able to eject,reload and fire in close to 5 seconds. Not bad (but probably an eternity when someone is shooting back with a 10-rounder) and much faster than the first speed loader I bought that was awkward...

I wish Chicago would secede from the union so every American citizen can have full constitutional rights.

Well,not many opinions,I guess. But at the present I think I'll go with the S&W and have almost enough left over to buy another gun:D

I've used SLRs for over 30 years and every serious shutterbug adds a uv or skylight filter on the end,not only to protect the delicate lens coatings,but also to reduce blue light,the frequency that scatters the most. When I bought a rifle/scope I was amazed that the same practice does not exist...

Yep,congratulations. My first was almost 2 years ago and I still remember the feeling of making what just went downrange...and glad that I didn't blow myself up. I started out with Win296 in 44mag,so a lot of potential to get hurt if not done right. To this day I weigh every powder charge. Just...
