I am writing a term paper for my military history class (Napoleonic Wars) on the British use of rifles. I am using as much source material as possible, and as such I am looking for some first-hand observations from anyone who may have fired both a India Pattern Brown Bess replica and a Baker...

(Hoping to not queer the deal here.) I have been approached to help herd management on a exotic ranch. The offer was to go out for a weekend and harvest doe black bucks and doe axis as well as any hogs seen. This has got me thinking that with the disparity of game weight that I would see...

Well, after much searching and asking around, I think I may finally have found a source for a nice wood stock for my Savage 116. Richards Microfit Gunstocks Has anybody had any dealings with this company? I am looking at the Sportster style in semi-fancy grade A with a 1" pad installed...

Okay, Okay, I know I am opening up another can of worms here, but I would like some input. I need a new scope for my Savage .270. This is primarily a hunting rifle and nearly all shots will be under three hundred yards. My current scope (a Simmons Eight-pointer which came with the rifle) has...

First, I did a search a TFL and Load-Your-Own for this info and came up snake-eyes. Considering the fact that I hunt in the Texas Hill Country where our deer are on the small side (Just ask Art) I have decided to load a lighter bullet for hunting. The addition to this is that it will make my...

A friend of mine is looking for a new varminter and really has his eye on the Howa Thumbhole Varminter: http://legacysports.com/product/index.htm Haven't heard any feedback on Howas other than on their Weatherby productions which seem very well built. Any feedback would be greatly...

I recently bought a Ruger 22/45 with a 6" barrel. I have adjusted the rear sight to the limit but still shoot low. I have shot offhand at 7yds, and off a bench at 25yds. good groups, but always low. (it did get better, at first it was off paper at 25yds.) So my question is whether there are...
