Stupid question, but are the paper cartridge sharps rifles legal for BPCR (or BPCR silhouette) competition? I read the rules but it seemed the Powers That Be could fall either way on paper cartridges, and my google-fu failed me in finding any committee rulings on this (or any) subject...

Any thoughts on Yildiz vs. H&R vs. whatever other options are out there? The little folding Yildiz is really appealing right now, but I haven't had a chance to actually handle one (Academy's inventory system is really terrible). -GB

Do you guys wear hearing protection when you hunt? If so, what do you wear? I went hunting for the first time last weekend (small game at the local WMA), and I carried my muffs with me but didn't end up wearing them much. I wanted to be able to hear, yet I'd also like to maintain my hearing...

Hello everyone! I recently pulled my grandfather's Stevens .22/.410 out of the closet (it's been sitting in one closet or another for the past 25 years or so) and took it to the range to sight it in. I've been trying to take up small game hunting this year and finally made some time to get to...

Hello All! I was taking apart my Stevens .22/.410 to clean out the innards (it's misfiring the .22) and somehow while removing the bolt that holds the stock on I managed to knock a chunk out of the side. It's about 1/4" x 2", and a single "splinter" of wood came off. There's a hole in the...

Greetings! I've always heard that you should have a "cheek weld" when shooting a shotgun, and assumed the same is likely true of a rifle. I have an old savage .22/.410 (used to be my grandfather's) that I'm planning to take to the range tomorrow to sight it in and see if I can get...

The suspense was getting to her, so my wife made me open my christmas present on christmas eve! (we do have a tradition of opening one present on christmas eve) To my (feigned) surprise, I found a shiny new Remington "1858" New Model Army revolver from Cabela's! I took it out to play with...

Hi, all. I'm going shooting tomorrow with a buddy that has both a Remington "1858" New Army revolver and a .44 caliber Colt 1851. I expect to buy buying a cap-n-ball pistol of my own in the near future (when Cabelas puts them on sale again), and the two models I'm leaning towards are a...

Hello! I have an old single-shot shotgun, which I believe to be an Iver Johnson Champion (it says champion on the barrel, but not iver johnson). I believe it has fluid steel barrels, but when I close the gun, there's a little bit of side-to-side play in the hinge. First, can a competent...

I've been hankering for a Remington New Model Army, and had been considering having it tuned up and "de-italianized" (removing most of the non-authentic markings put on by the italian manufacturers, refinishing the grip, etc). I was perusing the Alabama gun laws today for a different reason...
