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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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?

What is necessary to own a 20mm rifle? Looks like I would have to register as a Class III dealer? I seem to find conflicting data all over the place. Also, would each round need to be registered as a destructive device as well? I saw a place selling the bulk, "cheap" ammo for $10 a shot...

Ok, I was thinking about buying a case or two of ammo in 7.62x39. I want something I can use in most situations, hunting, plinking, range, etc. I don't really care about 0.000003 MOA accuracy or anything, but the first requirement is be decent on deer. Which do you think would be most...

Ok, now that I am a professional still (or stalk or whatever) hunter* because I have done it, well, twice now I was thinking maybe I needed to upgrade my footwear. Keep in mind I am hunting in fairly thick woods, but do any of you have any moccasins or boots you would recommend? I was...

Ok, I have been considering selling an AK I have (MAK90) and getting an "upgrade." I think I have narrowed it down to the Krebs 88 or the Arsenal SLR-101S. Do any of you have any experience with either? Thoughts on one or the other? Just stick with the MAK90 and use the extra dough for ammo...

I have a pretty decent (for me at least) 308 bolt action I use deer hunting. It has a 24" bull barrel in stainless. Will threading it for a suppressor affect the accuracy? Will threading mess up the crown or anything? I kinda don't want to mess it up because it works beautifully now and...

I have, almost exclusively up until a few weeks ago, hunted deer from a tree stand. Typically the stands I hunt look over the edge of a field that is planted in whatever the farmer plants that year. I have also been in some stands in the woods that look over little food plots and the like. I...

I am thinking of getting a better skinning knife. I got a kit (modern skinner) from knifekits.com a couple years ago and got someone to help me put it together. I have used several different styles and cannot really decide which style I like best. I actually use one of those inexpensive Mora...

Anyone know anything about Innovative Arms? They make suppressors and the guy claims he has some contracts with LE. I went by his shop and he is a one man show. Seems like he has some pretty decent equipment, but I really had no idea what I was looking at. He demonstrated a couple of his...

Will a 30 cal suppressor quiet a 22? Any idea on how much louder it would be than a dedicated 22 suppressor? I really like the idea of having one can that can suppress several cals and the more weapons the better. And, really, suppressing a .30 would be great, even though it might not get...

I was looking for a knife that is high quality, looks good, and will last forever (yeah, yeah, I know most quality knives will last forever if taken care of, etc.). I saw a WIlliam Henry EDC in a knife shop I went to and thought it was pretty decent. Anyone have any experience with them? The...

I have a Browning B80 12 gauge that I got about 25 years ago. I have shot it a ton and it still runs like a top. I am thinking of getting a 20 gauge and just realized they quit making the B80, well, a while back. What current production gun would be most similar in 20 gauge? I have heard...

I was thinking about trying out stalk hunting this year. I have never done it before and was wondering if anyone has any insights for me. I have walked up on them before while squirrel hunting. Then, though, I typically don't see them until it is too late because I am looking up in the trees...

I am thinking of getting Santa to get me a rangefinder for Christmas. It seems like those things go for $125 up to, well, about as much as you want to spend. What am I getting with a $1k rangefinder I am not going to get with a $125 model? I am just going to use it for checking distance...

I have never seen one, but are there suppressors for shotgun slug guns? Seems like it could be good, quiet medicine for a deer out to 100 or 150 yards. Hard to find decent ballistics charts on them, though.
