I think I need to practice my reading before I practice my shooting. I thought there were 2 categories, one for sights and one for scopes. I'm shooting in the morning and I'll bring a target, if I can see the dots I'll shoot and pray.

Thanks for all the great info. I found these two scopes on the Midway site, the VX-I is a gloss finish and I was wondering if there is a negative to that. The exact same scope in matte is $40 more. I think I'll go check out the local Bass Pro since it's just a couple miles from home. I hate...

Awesome!!! something I'm somewhat qualified to talk about. I'm 38 and used to shoot competition back in high school (22 prone). Back then we used old army surplus 22's that had so much rust you would think one round would destroy the whole gun. At my best I could ace a 50 foot (thats foot not...

I have a Marlin 336 in 30-30 and I'm back and forth as to scope or not. Now that the kids are getting older, shooting is becoming a family affair, so I need to figure out something we all can use. If I had deep pockets I could buy an identical rifle for each of us but for now we'll have to make...

My grandfather was a cop in a rough neighborhood for 26 years. He was lucky that he only fired his weapon at a supect 1 time in that 26 years. One thing he always said was you never fire a weapon unless you have no other options left. His rules: 1. Don't fire unless a gun is, or is on it's...

I saw this video on tv and lets just say those girls weren't very lady like. They were more like a pack of wolves who picked out a weak target and then moved in for an attack. Maybe It's my Jersey roots but I have no problem hitting a girl/woman. If someone attacked my wife, pregnant or not...

So sorry to hear about your injury and I hope everything heals up properly. As a new member here I'm amazed that you felt comfortable to post your accident. Just as amazed at the wonderful responses that have been posted in reply. I also want to say this post is a testamony to how great this...

I will answer based on this part of the question. If you are in that situation the bear would have to be at close range, lets say less than 20 yards. A bear can run 25 mph so that means you have a few seconds to react. Now you are obviously in a life or death situation with accelerated...

Sorry to go off topic: I have a Romanian too, bought it to start teaching my son how to shoot. I'll bet you a Quarter I can hit the paper using the old iron sights, doubt I'll hit black, but pretty sure I can hit the paper. Now I have an excuse to get out and shoot it myself ;-) No...

That is the best rule of all, and you should be commended for trying to keep everyone safety minded.

Thanks for all the replies, it's nice to know I didn't make one of the classic new guy mistakes. I figured both guns to be excellent but for me the Marlin just felt right. Again, it's nice to know I made a good choice.

One guy is handing out papers saying that police buy backs don't have an effect. Another is trying to buy the guns for more money, sounds like they were a bunch of idiots just looking for trouble. If they wanted to buy guns they could hold a "buy back" themselves it's called a gun show.

Well since I only have one "black" rifle it has to be the Mossberg 817 It has a cheapo Simmons Scope from BPS and my kids absolutely love it. By far the best .177cal can destroyer you will ever find :)

I recently purchased a Marlin 336CS as a deer/hog gun and most of my friends are busting chopps saying I should have got the Winchester. For the most part I think they are just doing it to give me a hard time but it has got me wondering. Also I plan to use the Hornady 8080 150gr RN since I plan...

Brand new member here and mostly new to the firearms sport. I shot .22 prone as a kid in New Jersey but never went further than that. Live in Florida now and I'm just getting into hunting. Current weapons .177 bolt action, .22 bolt action, 30-30 lever action, and 12 gauge shotgun. Only gun with...
