    Factory threaded .22 rifles, what are my options?

    I have one of the savage tactical 22s and love it. Very accurate for a budget rifle. Makes me want a suppressor to go along with it!

    Best SURVIVAL rifle

    Another vote for the classic 10/22. A good used one and several bricks of ammo won't set you back a ton.

    Beretta 84 - Ultimate Trail Companion?

    Appreciate all the feedback. I know its less than optimal for hogs but that is probably the most unlikely scenario I would face. May get the beretta just for kicks and pack it sometimes in the hog free areas! At least it would be a gun and caliber that all members of my family could handle.

    I'm gonna talk about Zombies (intelligently?)

    I for one am a big fan of all things zombies, including a lot of the guns, ammo, accessories, etc. That being said, I don't foresee the walking dead banging down my front door anytime soon. As others have said, its a passtime and may very well fade as other fads have done. No need to get riled...

    Beretta 84 - Ultimate Trail Companion?

    The hog scenario is based on one area my family hikes and camps in. Its a long shot to even see one but I would say there is always the chance of an encounter of a sow and piglets. Would say maybe a 10 % chance at best. Dogs and yotes and meth heads are a more likely concern and I think 380...

    Lever and/or Pump .22lr accurate enough for small game hunting?

    Rossi made a fine little pump 22 lr styled after the winchesters. I have a breakdown model that stays in my emergency gear in my car along with a brick of ammo. Its one accurate little booger and easy to disassemble and put into a backpack. I believe they made a full size version as well. See...

    Beretta 84 - Ultimate Trail Companion?

    Yeah, I have a glock 17 for real defense. The 380 is just so mild recoiling I thought it might be something that all my family could easily handle. Plus I just love the look of them!

    Beretta 84 - Ultimate Trail Companion?

    In a recent Gun Digest, they had several articles focusing on survival guns. One was a reprint from years ago featuring the Beretta 84 in 380 acp as being part of any outdoorsmans survival kit. I have always liked these guns and have been looking for an excuse to get one. Now maybe I can...

    Chicago proposes bullet tax

    Why not charge each gangbanger with a year per shell casing found? As far as medical care goes, plug the wound and lock them up. Why should law abiding citizens pay for the damage caused by these idiots?

    Who Has Noticed that Red Jacket can't shoot

    I liked season one before fame got a hold on them. Could really have done without all the soap-opera-worthy drama between the daughter and Kris. But at least they aren't charging a kings ransom for a field grade 870 like the putzes on American Guns.

    Taurus M82 4'' surplus

    I bought two from a dealer last year who ordered them for a customer who never picked them up. I got the pair for 300 delivered to my ffl. Neither were beauty queens but both were scary accurate with 158 gr round nose. Wound up giving one to my aunt since she lives in the middle of nowhere and...

    Handgun for defense from wild boar

    Thanks Water-Man. I live in the Walker County area and hogs are starting to show up from the Whitfield and Gordon County areas. Like I stated above, I know the likelihood of a hog or bear attack is very rare but I take every precaution I can when it comes to my kids. I would never have thought...

    Handgun for defense from wild boar

    Thanks for all the replies guys. They have been very helpful. I think I might purchase a compact 357 in the near future and rely on my glock until then. Probably going to keep my 12 ga shotgun in camp. I realize that the chances of an attack are very remote, but just like wearing my seatbelt or...

    Handgun for defense from wild boar

    Hello all. My son and I have begun to camp and do a little hiking together on a mountian near where we live. I typically carry a glock 17 or my little Smith and Wesson 422 22lr pistol to deal with coyotes and wild dogs and venomous snakes if necessary. Over the last several years the feral hog...

    saturday night specials

    SNS I use a titan 25 auto as my tackle box gun. 65 bucks and that included a zippered pouch and two full boxes of shells. No worries if this one falls in the pond or gets muddy. I will just rinse it off and throw a little oil on it and back in the box it goes!

    Ruger LCR 38 or S&W 37 Airweight?

    Thanks for all the replies. I was leaning towards the lcr and you guys helped push me over the top. I will pick it up at lunch tomorrow.

    RG model 23 22 LR

    I had one that did that as well. Shot fine but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. The groups were, to put it mildy, terrible.

    Ruger LCR 38 or S&W 37 Airweight?

    The lgs has a like new lcr 38 for 350 and a very nice older blued airweight model 37 smith for 400. I can get either for about 50 bucks less than the marked price. My intended use is for a tackle box and woods gun. Biggest threat around north Georgia for me is feral dogs. I like the weight of...

    Best air rifle for target practice and varmint control

    He not only wants it for varmint control, he wants something to shoot with my son when he stays over there.

    Best air rifle for target practice and varmint control

    My father in law is not physically able to set traps or run after them with a machete. If he was, I have no doubt they would be gone already. I set him up a live trap and only succeeded in catching some squirrels. City regs allow airguns so he is ok in that regard. I will pass on the suggestions...
