    What .308 BA would you buy if you had a $2000 budget for gun and optic?

    Looking to possibly spend up to $2000 on a .308 BA rifle with optic. I am looking for a hunting rifle that's accurate and fun to shoot off the bench. I hand load and already have the dies and some .308 brass. Owned .308s in the past and already own .223, 6.5 Creed, 30-30, and .264 Win Mag...

    Question for Beretta Bobcat 21A 22LR owners.

    Just picked up a Beretta 21A Bobcat. So far I have only tried two types of amm0, CCI quiet and Stingers. The stingers worked good, only one stovetop out of 30 so far, and the quiet wouldn't eject at all, including with a suppressor that should have aided ejection but nope. At any rate, what...

    SW 586 accuracy with 38 special

    I noticed that my 6" 586 loves 357 Mag, especially hot hand loads, but does not seem to like 38 Special. The accuracy with 158 and 124 is superb, 2 inch from 25 yards and 4 inch at 40--thats great for me, but it can't hit the broadside of a barn with any 38 Special. I'm ok with this since I...

    586 gas in the face

    Just curious if anyone else ever gets gas blowback in the face with their Smith 686 or 586? This is a new gun so in theory it should have no problems from the factory. I never had this issue with my Colts. Now, I only shoot hand loads and the gun is very accurate, so is this just a natural...

    Just picked up a 586 6 inch. Current owners opinion

    So I just picked up a 586 6 inch. Was gonna hold out for the 6" Python but was impressed with the fit and finish of the Smith, current thread on this forum non-withstanding, and didn't feel like dropping the extra cheddar on the Pony. Anyways, current owners, how accurate and or finicky has...

    Longest inline kill

    Took a doe today at 130 yards with my T/C Impact. I have to say, for under $600, Leupold 2x7 scope and gun, it has killed more deer than my other expensive bolt actions since 2013.

    Job of the forcing cone question

    Is the job of the forcing cone strictly to guide the bullet into the rifling of the barrel? I googled it, have to admit I gave up early and came here, to find out if that was the soul job. I know that some pistols don't have them. How is the cone attached to the barrel/frame? Is it soldered...

    Anyone ever deer hunt with 4 inch 357?

    Just curious if anyone has taken a 4 inch 357 hunting. I've been practicing at 40 yards, Colt King Cobra Target, and I finally fell comfortable to take broadside shots. Has taken a lot of load tweaking and range time, but I feel confident to 40 yards broadside as I've said. Really wouldn't...

    Colt King Cobra Target 22lr. Anyone seen one? Own one?

    Just curious if any one knows when Colt will release these revolvers. I know they were unveiled at Houston NRA but haven't seen them on any sites. For that matter, I can't find it on Colt's website.

    Lead bullet accuracy vs jackets observation and ?

    So just an observation with my King Cobra 3 inch. Reload 158 LRN bullets at 25 yards are more accurate than any jacketed bullet that I reload at any weight. I know there are a lot more load combinations I can try but I'm just stunned a bit that my anemic loads out shoot my zingers. Is this...

    New barrel installation. What manufacturer does it?

    Just curious if there is a barrel manufacture who would also remove the old barrel and install the new one. The gun in question is a 2018 model 70. I know I can go to gunsmiths but the closest smith to me is over 70 miles away.

    Is it worth it to upgrade to a Python from KC?

    I have a 3 inch King Cobra, 2019, that I take to the range and carry on woods walk's with my wife and pup. It it worth it to upgrade to the 4.25 Python? I do shoot my KC a lot and reload for it so I can see the advantage of the Python at the range with the extra 1.25 barrel. But I don't...

    First time for me: primer detonation but did not fire

    I was trying some 38 special handholds through my King Cobra this afternoon and I had a primer detonation but no discharge. I hand load on a single stage press because most of my reloading is for bolt action rifle. I didn't think I forgot to charge it but I checked. I pulled the bullet and...
