    Shotgun for Wife

    I actually live in SC. I was driving from Naples back to SC on Saturday and the Tampa gun show just happened to be going on so I stopped in. It was a good one. Glad to see cases of 308 back in circulation... Found a youth 1100 for $595. Might have to give the guy a call and see what the...

    Shotgun for Wife

    I guess y'all have about convinced me to go ahead and get a decent one rather than scouring the bottom of the barrel. Especially considering I have two young kids who will (hopefully) be shooting (the oldest, 4, just started on very supervised BB gun shooting), even if the wife doesn't like it...

    Shotgun for Wife

    I have been thinking for a while I need to get a shotgun for the wife. She is not really a shooter, but I want to ease her into it. I have taken her shooting with me a handful of times and think it is probably about time to get her a gun of her own. I want the least kicking shotgun I can put...

    My Child and my uncle's unsafe gun storage

    Ok, so what constitutes "secure" for a child under, let's say, 5? How about a loaded magazine in a glock? I know a kid cannot rack the slide and put a round in the chamber, but does that constitute safe enough? How about a loaded magazine next to the glock? What are your thoughts?

    BTHP

    Thanks for the thoughts guys. I guess I have been kinda in search of a bullet that will be good for everything; hunting, punching paper, etc. I think I am going to go the other way and just get soft points or some sort of hunting ammo. I like the Remington Core Lokt and had two quick kills...

    BTHP

    What do you think of using boat tail hollow points for deer hunting in a 308? I was thinking of using the 168 grain bullets.

    Kid's Rifle

    Ok, my kids are still really young (oldest is 4), but I have been thinking about their first deer rifle when they get a somewhat older. I believe the 308 is a good caliber, but a bit much on the recoil side when they are young. I was thinking about maybe starting them off with a 243 or...

    AR Pricing

    I don't think she is hurting for money. We were out with her at the department party for Christmas and she was pointing out to my wife the brand clothes she was wearing. Apparently, it was an expensive outfit. My wife said she wanted some of that stuff. :eek: She also plays golf, etc. I...

    Pepper Spray

    Yeah, I have started walking to and from work and had a dog take a swipe at me yesterday. He just ran by and nipped at a bag I was carrying. It kinda got me to thinking I might need something other than my charming personality if I do come across a dog with worse intentions. I don't want the...

    Pepper Spray

    I was thinking of getting a pepper spray for people and animals. Any suggestions? I know there are a million different flavors of this stuff out there and they all probably work pretty well, but just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. My thought was the single stream since it will...

    Feeling on 3d printable rifles and mags?

    Btw, they already have a 3D printing method that uses titanium and titanium alloys. The electron Beam Melting can make very strong stuff. From wikipedia: I don't know how expensive these types of machines would be. I am thinking about starting a business and using 3D printers to make...

    AR Pricing

    Yeah, I was not even really interested in getting one until the wife, who obviously knows I am into guns, tells me her co-worker had some ARs she is looking to sell. I will get one of them if I can get it slightly below the pre-hype price. You are right, though. I don't want to take...

    AR Pricing

    Ok, I have never really been into AR's much, more into the M14 and AK styles. However, a lady my wife works with is wanting to sell a couple AR's her husband had (he passed 4 years ago). I think I might pick one or more up if she is not completely crazy with the pricing. Also, I don't really...

    Shot Show 2013 Requests

    Any chance of stopping by the Krebs booth and seeing what their new prototype looks like?

    Suppressing Deer Rifle

    I have read that suppressors reduce the noise by 20 to 30 db, which is a pretty good bit methinks. Then, throw in some subsonic ammo and it should be significantly better on the ears. In person it really seems like night and day, even though I have only heard it once.

    10/22 Mags

    Damnit, I was hoping to have a bolt and a semi with interchangeable mags. I really don't want something that may cause jams. I originally thought they were the same mag in both. Now, the thought is should I double down on the 10/22 or get a different 22 bolt perhaps a CZ? I was looking for...

    10/22 Mags

    Will the 10/22 magazines work in the 77/22? I was going to pick up a 77/22, but wanted to make sure that the magazines for the 10/22 will fit. So, will they fit?

    Suppressing Deer Rifle

    I shot a deer the last day of the season this year and it just seemed loud. I don't kill a ton of deer every year, but my hearing ain't getting any better it seems. Also, I don't get as good of a cheek weld when I use the over the ear muffs and in ear protectors muffle everything which makes...

    an armed household

    So, any other classes than the NRA class recommended to get the "software" tuned up?

    HP vs. SP

    Yeah, deer to eat. Looks like the question is moot at the moment, though. Seems like everyone is out of the stuff at reasonable prices. Damnit, knew I should have gone ahead with the order...
