Seedy Character, I've got one of those Remington 1100 20LW shotguns. My father reversed the safety. I bought it with a vent rib 26" improved cyl barrel, intending to use it on dove/quail. As I recall I bought it one year right after Christmas, brand new, for $155. I traded that barrel to my...

I've got a Mossberg 590 that I carried on duty. It sits in the closet with a full magazine of #00 buck. I put a sling on it, and a 'shorty' stock. It also wears a sidesaddle full of #00 buck loads. I recently decided that I wanted a semi-auto HD shotgun, and was considering the Mossberg 930...

I bought a Savage package once in .25-06. I only bought it because of the rifle..I wanted a .25-06, I shoot left-handed and don't see too many of them, and it was there. The scope is gone, the rings and bases are gone, even the wood stock is gone. It now wears a Nikon 3-9x40 with BDC and a...

I have one in a 1.5-5x20 on a Marlin 336c in .30-30. As with so many things in life, it seemed like a good idea at the time...I use it, but I won't buy another one. I think it is too thick. I prefer the regular duplex.

I consider the .22 LR to be a foundation cartridge. You should start out with a .22, simply because they are so cheap to feed that you can shoot a lot and get proficient. The Savages are good..I have one in .17 HMR. I also have an old original Browning T-Bolt and a Ruger 10-22. After you get a...

I consider a .30-30 good to 200 yds.

It wouldn't surprise me any. Ever since Remington got taken over by Cerberus/Freedom Group I've heard rumors of Q/C probs at Remington, and the problems at Marlin since Remington acquired them are way past rumors...they are definitely confirmed: Marlin 308's and 338's being received with 'barrel...

The answer is 'yes'. The .45-70, for being as old as it is, can be loaded from mild to wild. If you load that thing up with a stout load and hard cast lead bullets, the penetration you get with it is absolutely unbelievable. Randy Garrett's Hammerheads are noted for this. Or, you can buy off the...

Mixed answer on this one. Some new guns are better, some are worse. I like the Tikka T3 Lite better than the old 595 Whitetail. The new 308 Marlin's and 338 Marlin's aren't as good as the old 444's and .45-70's since Marlin got bought by Remington/Cerberus/Freedom Group. I think the Savages have...

In the old days, when stocks were wood, if it was bedded and free-floated then it provided less chance for that wood stock to warp and shift the point of impact. Synthetics have changed that, to a degree. Now instead of wood warping, we have to worry about tupperware flexing. Let's put it this...

.30-06. It's The Greatest for a reason.

There's a thread over on 24 hour campfire about the Savage Custom Shop where some yahoos are dogging Savages. Savages shoot real good. Tikka's, too. Some folks like to dog Savages, but you don't dog something that works. The way things are right now, I'd rather buy a new Savage than a new...

From what I have read, Alaskans seem to have some preferences regarding their rifles. Most are strong advocates of sythetic and stainless. The weather in Alaska is harsh, and the stainless actions help minimize maintenance and rust, and the synthetic stocks are more weather-proof and eliminate...

I agree with your analysis that the WGRS is sturdier than the 5D. Since it sits on top of the receiver, it doesn't leave the 5D's bar suspended over the top of the action to get bumped.

I have the Foolproof on an 1895 Cowboy and it works great. Before it went to the Cowboy, I had it on a 1894 .44 Mag. Worked great on it, too.

It should. I have a Savage .25-06, but I don't use it for varmints or anything, just deer with 100 gr. bullets and heavier. It is an excellent cartridge.

I think the 6.5's, as embodied by the 260 Rem and 6.5x284, have been making serious inroads on the benchrest circuit for a while now. Excellent B.C. and S.D. and less recoil. You might try asking your question here: http://benchrest.com/forum.php and here...

If I was wanting maximum velocity and was going to carry around a .270 with a 24" barrel, I'd go ahead and get a .270 WSM. The short action will partially offset the longer 24" barrel for portability, and the WSM round will squirt that bullet out even faster than the .270 Win. I mean, either...
