    Wal Mart to stop selling guns?

    Just got back from the local Wally World in Newport, OR. They have gotten rid of all the firearms, display cases and most of the hunting department supplies. I asked and was told that they are out of the gun business! Not that I'm a buyer at WW but, it seems to me this may be a VERY...

    Which 7 to buy

    Agreed on the 7x57. I have several in bolt and single shots. My encore, with a 26 inch heavy barrel will make a single hole at 100 yds. when I do my part and do it with little fuss or kick. My Winchester or Ruger is great for fast repeat shots but, I don't shoot them much anymore. The...
