    Big Recoil

    Okay, this isn't a "I'm a real man and your a girly boy" type of thread. But does anyone else just really enjoy a good heavy recoil? I'm not talking about to the point of injury, but I just like shooting a bigger caliber. Just for the fun of it. I had a 10 gauge that I could only really...

    Old Topic...Lesson Learned?

    Okay so I was just recently educated on the Zumbo deal in 2007...this isn't about him. What it is about is a question I didn't even realize was ever an issue... Are there still people that believe "black rifles" shouldn't be used for hunting? No flaming or judging, but if you feel this way...

    Firearms New Year's Resolutions

    What gun stuff do you want to do this year that maybe you haven't done in the past, or have let slide? I've been hitting the range maybe once or twice a year, other than work quals. I'm going to try to hit the range at least once a month this year. And I'm going to really grow the collection...

    VA hunters

    Is there any kind of restriction on what kind of optic can be used for hunting in VA? I've looked at the VA fish and game site, and didn't see anything, but that doesn't mean there is no law. I know some states say no lighted reticle and such. I'm not looking to hunt with night vision or...

    Ar 10

    I've never been an AR fan...until tonight. Shot my first AR 10 tonight and now have something else to save my pennies for. I found the one I fired a little heavy and I think I would need an adjustable stock to make it a hair shorter, but overall, I just love the .308 from that gun with an ACOG...

    Kind of new to shotgunning

    I've used Mossies and Remmies for work, and I own a 10 gauge that I've used as a slug gun for hunting, but I'm getting a old Remmy Sportsman 48 and would like to try my hand at bird hunting next year. I can use a rifle here in VA, so I don't need a shotgun for deer, but it would be nice to have...

    Now What Do I Do?

    I bought my wife a new gun, an XDm that she chose over an M&P, and recently took her shooting. She's never been anti-gun, but I think the bug bit her and after firing my Mosin, she told me today that she would like her own rifle. I couldn't have been more surprised if I woke up with my face...

    I'm a rifle guy

    I guess I realized today that I'm really a rifle guy. I like all guns, and I'd still like to get a 1911 and a nice .357 revolver, but my main interest, unconsciously, have been in long guns. I'm just getting into Mosin Nagants, my dream gun is an M1A, I own a Garand , Mosin, .444 Marlin, and...

    Best gun show day I've ever had

    Went to the Chantilly, VA gun show today with the wife and kids. My wife shocked the everloving stuffing out of me when she looked at one of the rifles and said "This one's $50 off." An opening? Was she going to let me buy something? I held that hope in my hand and searched until I found the...

    Out of Fashion?

    Can a gun go out of fashion? I watched an episode of Sons Of Guns and a guy brought in his UZI to be worked on. I thought to myself "Wow. When was the last time I saw an UZI?" Back in the 80's they were the go to bad guy gun in movies and TV, and instead of every bad guy in the news having...

    YOUR perfect hunting rifle

    Not THE perfect hunting rifle, as everyone has different likes and dislikes. But if you were to build a rifle for hunting from the ground up, accessories, brand names, whatever, what would you put together? Or build? I'd start out with a M1A Scout, I think the .308 is adequate for...

    CCW revolver

    I carry a USP concealed IWB everyday, and really like it, but I'd like to get a nice 4inch .357 revolver, probably a Ruger GP 100. Does anyone CCW IWB something close to that size and what kind of holster do you use?

    New Honady Ammo

    Okay, first of all, I'm not into this scene, but I recognize humor when I see it. Whine all you want about how it "makes us all look bad" or "I'm sick of the zombies thing". Some things are just funny. With that said, I introduce to you, Hornady zombie ammo...

    MOA for Dummies

    I just saw this video and thought that anyone new to rifle sighting or target shooting who is too embarrassed to ask what MOA is might find it helpful. The instructor really makes it very easy to understand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA2PZBD5Tjg&feature=player_embedded

    Bad LGS experiences

    I don't know why I was thinking about this today, but I thought It'd make for some interesting responses. A few years ago when I was in the Navy, I went to my LGS and picked out a nice Marlin 444. I brought it to the counter and prepared to do all the paperwork. When they asked for my ID I...
