    favorite hunting reticles?

    I need your advice on reticles, please. I just bought a stevens 200 in .270. (father-in-law saw it on sale 4 years ago for $190 at Academy. But he's got other hunting rifles so he shot it, literally, zero times. Never even took it out of the box. So I bought it from him for his cost) I...

    need general purpose 30-06

    I'd like a general purpose bolt action 30-06. I would probably put a decent 3-9x40 on top and use it to shoot paper and hopefully deer, pigs, black bear or anything else I might get the chance to go after. Right now I'm thinking Kimber 84L Classic, Winchester M70, or maybe a Browning x-bolt...

    Shot my first 500 magnum. Whoa...

    So I am at the local range, plinking away with my Single Six (with ammo I bought 3 years ago at "normal" prices thankfully). When I stop to reload, this guy plunks down the biggest, baddest handgun round I've ever seen. He goes, "wanna shoot it?" "Hell yes." I replied. It was a 4...

    best scope for 10/22 takedown

    Just picked up a 10/22 takedown. Now I want a good scope for it. Since the whole point of a takedown is that it breaks down I want to make sure that the rifle still fits in the bag with the scope - unless the consensus is that those "quick detach" bases are really good enough to hold zero...

    advice for light-kicking commercial .38 spl load

    I gave my dad a 2.25" Ruger SP101 in .357 for Christmas. The .357 ammo was too violent for him so I told him to buy some .38 spl. He came back from the store with steel cased blazer 158gr round nose lead. The gun still kicks too much for his taste. Who makes a lighter-kicking commercial load...

    garand re-assembly question - trigger assembly

    I am trying to re-assemble my newly acquired M1 (drove to Anniston to pick it out) and I'm close but stumped. The whole gun is put together except for the trigger group needing to be put back in place. I can put the trigger group into the stock and it looks like everything fits until I...

    What happens if you are struck by lightning with a .38 snubnose in your pocket?

    1) Sorry, I didn't know where to put this post. 2) I was walking back to my apartment just now and thunder and lightning started up. Here's my question: - If I were struck by lightning just a few minutes ago, while I had my S&W 642 in my front left shorts pocket, would all 5 rounds of +p...

    .40 vs 10mm primers: case strength question

    I just picked up a G20sf and am now interested in learning more about the capabilities of the 10mm. I read on this forum that a .40 S&W case can handle higher pressures than a 10mm case because the .40's small primer pocket weakens the case less than the large primer pocket of the 10. Assuming...

    shoulder holster for SR9c

    I am looking for a quality shoulder holster for my Ruger SR9c. I regularly carry in a Crossbreed Supertuck but when cold weather necessitates a heavy coat my draw from 7:30 (left-handed) IWB is seriously hindered. I really like the Galco Miami Classic II but they do not make those for...
