    Ordered a new 870, now what?

    I just ordered a new 870 (Express mag, 12 ga., 26 in. barrel) this will be my second shotgun next to my grandpa's old SXS 12 ga and I'll be using this gun mainly for hunting with a little trap and skeet as well. I'm wondering if there is anything I will need to do before shooting it? Any advice...

    870 purchase, wood or synthetic?

    I'll be buying a new Remington 870 soon and can't decide between wood or synthetic stocks. What do you think?

    Mossberg Over/Under?

    At my local shop I recently saw a Mossberg O/U 12 ga. I checked on their website and couldn't find any info on this gun. Does anyone have any experience with one of these models?

    4X32 or 3X9X32 scope for .22LR?

    I'm looking at scopes for my Marlin 7000 .22 lr. I really don't know whether to put a 4X32 or the 3X9X32 on it. I'm currently eyeballing the Bushnell Sportsman model in either one. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Calling all Marlin 7000 owners...

    Ok, I just sold my 39A and I have a chance to pick up a NOS Marlin 7000 for a fraction of what the 39 cost. Granted, it's not a 39 but it is a cheap .22. The one thing that is keeping me from buying it, is that I vaguely remember hearing some Marlin 795/7000 owners saying that they had problems...

    About how much should a trigger job on a Marlin 925 cost?

    I'm thinking about having an improved trigger installed on a Marlin 925 .22. Anyone know about what I should expect that to cost?

    Good gun review website?

    About a month ago I found a great website that had thousands of great gun reviews. The reviews were of mostly shotguns and riffles by individuals with no particular order to them. In fact, they were quite random and they ranked them on ability in certain areas on a scale of 1-5. Needless to say...

    Buying a gun at Dick's Sporting Goods

    I'm within 50 miles of 2 Dick's and I believe that both gun departments are well staffed with guys who know guns. They will both also bore sight your gun for free regardless of whether you buy anything from them. I would buy from either of these stores, however I'm sure that there are good ones...

    Lyman receiver sight or rimfire scope for Marlin 39a?

    I have never shot a peep sight before. I guess what I'm wondering is how accurate can you be at say 60-70 yds. with a receiver peep sight (Lyman) and what front bead (replacement) would you recomend for this setup?

    Lyman receiver sight or rimfire scope for Marlin 39a?

    I am down to these 2 options for my new Marlin 39a. I've tried it out with the stock sights at 50 yds. and haven't really been able to gauge its' accuracy. I like the traditional look (for the lever gun) of the Lyman, however I'm somewhat familiar with using a scope. Contrary to the scope...

    What scope/sights (under $100) would you recomend for a new Marlin 39a?

    I just picked up a Marlin 39a. It's everything I had hoped it would be with the exception of the fixed sights. What's up with the folding rear sight anyhow? I'd like some recomendations for scopes or sights for this gun. Thanks.

    How old is too old for field training a dog?

    I have 2 female Golden retrievers. One is 3, the other is 8 months. I know that the optimal time to begin training is at a very young age. The 3 year old has excellent retrieving skills, even in water (a little lacking on the obedience end though). I'm wondering if I could train either of these...

    Are the Winchester quality complaints legit?

    In my search for the perfect lever action .22 I've heard more than one person say "stay away from the newer Winchester stuff..." and that "since they changed over to USRA they're not as durable/ well built as before." Any thoughts/ comments on this? Is it true?

    1930's Crescent side-by-side 12 ga. info?

    I was given a 1930's side-by-side 12 ga. made by Crescent Firearms, (Norwich, Conn.) by my wife's grandpa. I can make out that it is an Empire Hamerless No. 60 however, I can find little history on this gun. I can tell it's not the best quality but it is really cool with double triggers and a 30...

    Rem 870... 26 or 28 inch barrel?

    Whats the difference? (besides the obvious length) Would the 28 inch barrel offer more reach... better pattern? Just curious.

    Marlin 39a or Marlin 982VS WMR... which one should I get?

    Ok, I know that these riffles are completely different animals, but I've narrowed my search for a .22 down to these two models. Here's the deal, I can only afford one and probability says that I won't be getting another for at least a couple of years. I was completely set on the lever action...

    Handgun sale laws?

    I have a Bersa .380 auto that I'd like to sell. I'm a little hesitant though because I don't really know any of the laws concerning the sale of handguns to individuals. I'm pretty sure it would sell quickly in the "sale" forum. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

    Winchester 9422 vs. Marlin 39a...

    I'm a newbie here so I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death. I'll probably purchase one of the above in the next couple of days. My father-in-law seems to be sold on the Marlin lever-action stuff. He has both a 39a as well as a 336c(?) 30/30. I'd use this gun mainly for plinking as...
