    I think there's something wrong

    Your situation is more common than you might think. I've attended many estate auctions that featured many unfired firearms. The survivors end up with lots of cash because these never-fired guns often sell well above retail.

    Knife or Gun?

    Beware of a stout recoil.

    Why are Hornady bullets available when Sierra are not?

    I don't really know the difference between one type of competition and another. My friends who do participate in long distance competitions like the Sierra 62, but they shoot other brands too. I tried a Barnes bullet, but it wasn't an improvement.

    Why are Hornady bullets available when Sierra are not?

    I've shot mostly Sierra and Nosler bullets. The Sierra bullets have been consistently more accurate and effective for my targets of choice. Nosler bullets have been good, just not quite a good as Sierra. I'm a prairie dog shooter, mostly with .204, .223, 22Hornet. My Rem 700 VSF .223 has been...

    Why are Hornady bullets available when Sierra are not?

    I've been trying to build a load for my Tikka T3X Super Varmint .223 and the 62gr Sierra bullet is highly recommended. I have had great difficulty finding this bullet. Sierra keeps promising me they will run them, but end up postponing the run. I've tried some Nosler but they are flat bottom...

    Sweet spot for .22LR rifle value?

    I was shopping for a new .22 last year, just because. I have owned numerous .22s and didn't want to spend a lot of money, but didn't need to buy the cheapest gun out there either. I settled on a CZ 457 Varnint, the only CZ I've ever owned. Best decision I've made in awhile. It is attractive...

    Iver Johnson Champion .410 - What Shell Length?

    Yep...2.5". Grew up shooting an old Iver Johnson 410. Killed my first rabbit, squirrel and quail with it and 100s more following the initial kill. Great fun!

    .204 Recommendation??

    I have owned two .204s and would like your help in choosing another. I had a gorgeous Ruger #1 .204. It shot good to very good, but not fantastic. It was probably the most beautiful rifle I've ever owned. I got an offer I couldn't refuse from a friend so I sold it. I also have a Kimber 84M...

    .22-cal Ruger Precision Rimfire

    Yep. I gave up on Ruger years ago...except pistols. Still have one of those. I've switched to Bergara and CZ. If you want a 22WMR or 17HMR or 22Hornet, Savage is better than many others for much less money. I had a 22Hornet that was outstanding. Savage makes great barrels and the...

    .22-cal Ruger Precision Rimfire

    Faced with similar options, partly based on lots of Ruger experience, mostly good, I decided to try a CZ for a change. Bought a CZ 457 Varmint and am thoroughly impressed by it. It has become my most accurate .22 and hardly ever misses a squirrel eye. It is nicely finished and runs smoothly...

    Have ammo prices finally come back down to Earth?

    Prices coming down? Yes and no. Some of you have already listed some OK deals. Others have remained stubbornly elevated. I watch my favorite ammo for comparison to then and now, like SK Standard Plus....then: $5-$6...now $8.+, Hornady 17HMR brick...then: $80-$105, now: $150 -$180. I could...

    Face to Face Firearms Purchase

    Face to Face means what it says. Your seller seems clear about that. I've done that legally a number of times here in Kansas, but I'm not sure about your state laws/rules or his. I've done a number of deals like that and met at a location of MY choosing; like at my gun club which is behind a...

    Squirrel hunting this year??

    Here's a cool story. My shooting buddy's parents live on the edge of town in a smallish midwestern community. Buddy's dad is trying to get small trees started, but the squirrels were chewing on them and killing some. So son buys dad a pellet gun to rid the place of the pests. But....Mom...

    Tulsa gun show

    Following this thread is making me nuts. I've been to almost every show in the last 20 years; missed one due to Commie Flu hysteria. I will miss this show because I came down with a rotten cold. Just do not have the energy. I hate not being able to attend and once again behold the spectacle...

    Suggestions wanted for PCP please.

    Umarex Notos looks like a good option. I'm selling my RWS Diana so much of the cost would be paid for with that sale. And I'm liking the idea of having enough money to buy a good compressor. I have small shop compressor, but it doesn't have enough oomph. I'm still aa little undecided about...

    Suggestions wanted for PCP please.

    I would like to hear from you guys. I've been shooting an RWS Diana .177. It shoots good and I've killed dozens of pest squirrels and rabbits in my back yard, mostly 15-30yds.. The ones I miss are in dimly lit undergrowth due to a cheap crappy scope and the occasional longer shot maybe 30-40...

    Best Optics for .243 in Northwoods for Deer

    Hey Blake....Fortunately your question is easily resolved as there are many good options. As to your question about Riton; for your purpose I wouldn't recommend one. Had one but the reticle was so fine I could hardly see it so sold it. My brother has killed dozens of white tails with his...

    How to do a private sale in Maryland is correct and reasonable?

    I've sold a few of my guns locally here in Kansas and I never violate any laws. Here's what I do....I never sell to strangers. Only to people I know. They give me cash...I give them the gun. Thank you!
