    Bolt vs Semi

    I don't know where you hunt but here in PA semi's are illegal for hunting. If follow up shots are a concern, get a lever gun. I personally prefer a bolt or break action.

    Question/comments about rossi single 223

    The boxes were a little beat up. They were in the clearance section of my lgs. There were only two boxes and I bought them both. :neener: I believe the pmc ammo is boxer primed. I will definitely be looking into the availability of an upgraded hammer spring. I want to try a few different ammos...

    Question/comments about rossi single 223

    I've been looking to pick up a varmint rifle to curb my chicken and cat losses and reduce the raccoon and coyote population here in my neck of the woods. I was originally planning on getting a .22mag but I came across a great deal on a heavy barrel, single shot, rossi .223 with a simmons 4-12x40...

    Hi Point 995ts problem

    I'll try that. I'm used to rifles with fixed front sights. Thanks everyone and please pardon my ignorance.

    Hi Point 995ts problem

    I've been considering buying one of these beauties for some time now and today I took the plunge. It is a 995ts with the peep sights and compensator. I got it used. I got two boxes of blazer 9mm luger and two boxes of federal 9mm 115gr fmj. After a thorough cleaning and a few test fires I...

    Marlin Model 60 Ammo???

    My marlin (795) likes winchester 555 bulk. It does not like cci blazer. I think every 22 likes cci stingers or mini mags.

    Best air rifle for target practice and varmint control

    Don't underestimate the toughness of chickens. I had a neighbor that had two roosters with spurs who were continually harassing visitors to my house. I had repeatedly asked the neighbor to keep the roosters out of my yard. When one of my friends 4 year old daughter ended up with a big bloody...

    Best bang for the buck .22LR

    For your criteria there is only on choice, the 10/22. The marlin or savage are better guns but the aftermarket options are slim to none. I have a marlin 795 with a universal bipod and I even sprang for the plastic shooters ridge hi-cap mag(25rd, I think it survived 100rds) and any scope is...

    Best bulk .22 ammo?

    Maybe I'm the odd man out but I've never had any luck with the cci blazers. As far as bulk, I'd opt for the winchester 555. I'd also say that for your intended purpose I'd opt for the cci stingers or mini mags. Load a magazine with a bulk round then a stinger/mini mag then a bulk and so on and...

    410 how hard does it kick?

    My gf is small, blonde and cute. She is home alone more often than not. She is also terrified of guns and will not even shoot my semi auto 22. I don't know if it is legal in your municipality or not (in many they are not, sadly) but I got a big, red nosed pit bull. She is great with the kids and...

    Need help with mauser ID.

    I was at my local swap meet yesterday and I found a sporterizer mauser in pretty nice shape. (I thought) The action was tight, the crown was nice, the rifling was nice and the bore was clean and brite. For $70, I couldnt pass it up. I took it home and threw a shell in it' and let one fly and...

    Home defence: 20 vs 12 gau. Opinions?

    I had never shot a 20 in my life until a few months ago. My nephew has a winchester (model 13 I believe) 20 and I was suprized by the recoil. We were both shooting federal walmart budget bird shot and the recoil from my 870 12 was not much worse than the 20. With the "home defense" 00 buck, the...

    concealable Black powder revolvers

    One of my first firearm purchases was a $60 cva, brass framed 1863 pocket. It's a cool little gun but hardly something I'd want to bet my life on. Here is a crappy cell phone pic of it next to my 5" bbl 1858 for a little size comparison.

    Most solid built shotgun from reliability point of view.

    870. I've heard a lot of talk about the poor quality of the new models but I have a 2011 870 express magnum and as far as functionality, it is great. Fit and finish of the stock leaves something to be desired but I didn't buy it as a show piece.
