Was just wondering if anyone has one and what you think of it. I saw some pics and read about them on the Henry website - look sort of interesting. Funny, seems as I get older I like guns that hold fewer rounds rather than more!

Well, I guess I have to face reality finally. Approaching 70, shooting irons is harder and harder, especially with the short sight radius on a 16" Smith and Wesson Sport II. I use a bolt on AR carry handle with sights like I used 50 years ago in the service. Of course that was a 20" AR back...

I just got curious again about getting a .357 lever gun and see that it looks like no one has any Rossi Model 92s in stock. This could be old new to everyone but me but does anyone know why this is the case? Or if there is a distributor that has some? Don't see but a very few for sale used...

I just picked up this nice old bolt gun, a Savage built 30-30 based on their 340 model. It's marked Foremost Model 6400 which I understand means it was sold way back by J.C. Penny. Please excuse the lousy cell-phone photo. Just wondering if anyone else has such a rifle and what your experience...

I saw one at the local gun shop the other day - at a little over $700. Anyone have one or shoot one? I like it except for that weird looking muzzle brake. Just looking for comments. Seems like a good deal compared to the Ruger scout rifle and I'v always liked Savage.

In the old days hunters put a 4 power scope on their rifles and called it good. Well I just picked up a J. C. Higgins Model 50 in .30-06 at the local gun show and I need to put a scope on it. It has open sights on it but the old eyes need help. Looking at the old ads for the gun it originally...

What do you folks do when it's too hot to go to the range? I belong to a fine club with a 500 yard rifle range - but around here it has been mid 90s and is predicted to hit 100 degrees tomorrow. Just too unpleasant to shoot outdoors. I got the time but not the constitution to put up with...

I put a Marlin Camp 9 on layaway today at the LGS at a pretty good price. I've already got a bunch of Smith and Wesson magazines that will fit it (from my assorted Smith pistols). I've heard about the buffer and recoil spring problems. Figure I'll replace them and it should be a hoot to...

I want to mount a scope on my Model 94. It's not angle eject so the scope will be offset to the left so I need a pad for good cheek weld. Anyone have experience doing this and know a good source for a pretty thick pad? I see all kinds of pads online but there is no way to figure out how thick...

Does anyone have experience with or any knowledge of the Smith and Wesson I - Bolt rifles? I know they have been discontinued but I happen to be a Smith nut and was thinking about buying a used one if I can find one in 30-06.

Does anyone have one of these rifles yet? I ordered the 20" barrel version which should be arriving at the LGS shortly. I plan to put a Nikon P223 scope on it and wring it out. Being able to use the same ammo and magazines as I do for my AR-15 just seems to make so much sense I couldn't find...

Last few weeks I've been obsessed with the idea of a utility rifle. I've got several centerfire and rimfire rifles but I'd like to have one go to gun that I have faith in. My criteria: 1. Inexpensive 2. Common caliber - .223, 7.62 x39, 30-30, .308, 30-06 or 9mm .38/.357 3. Absolutely...

Local shop has some stainless Mini -14s with synthetic stock trade ins from a local sheriff's department for $499. They look okay and I doubt they were fired much. Opinions?

I bought a 91/59 years ago off an old gent paring down his rifle collection. Love shooting it but can't figure out how anyone could have used it in combat! Never found a stripper clip that worked and even loading single rounds I seem to always get at least one round with the rim behind...

I'm still intrigued by the idea of having a handgun and a rifle/carbine in the same caliber. But the Smith and Wesson revolver and .357 lever gun option - those Marlins and even the Rossis seem too pricey. So Kel-Tec with a S&W 59 magazine? That might work. I was reading about Kel-Tec...

What is the best rifle for those who use .38/.357 revolvers for carry, home defense, in fact almost exclusively? I've seen and handled some Rossi lever actions but don't care for the safety on top of the receiver. But I'd like to find a reliable rifle that would chamber and shoot the same...
