After spending a year in Knoxville, TN and not having had time to do anything gun-related, my wife and I finally made NC (near Charlotte) our permanent home. Feral hogs are apparently a big pest around here, so I'm looking at my options. Initially I wanted a .308 Win semi-auto for plenty of...

Hey guys, I just recently moved to the Knoxville, TN area and, again, I'm interested in getting involved in hunting. My understanding is that deer hunting would probably not rewarding, so I was curious if anyone is from this area and can give me an idea on rabbit/squirrel hunting?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some help evaluating the values of a few guns. Long story short, the office manager at the clinic I work at asked me to look over a few guns she inherited when her mother died. She does shoot (owns a .357 revolver) but she's not much of a gun person. Right now I'm...

I'm finally ready to really get a decent hunting rifle setup. Up to now my rifles have all been "tactical" (AR-15s mostly, and a Savage FCP SR .308), but I've decided I want something lighter than the Savage that would be suitable for hunting. Looking into the 6.5 Creedmoor because... well...

Despite the desert heat I managed to get to the range today and test a new rifle build, as well as get some much needed rimfire practice. Ran through a few different boxes of ammo with the new ODIN Works barrel. My best group with that rifle today was a 0.625" 5-shot group at 100 yards with...

Got back out to the range today. Last week was my first trip to the range in about a year (didn't realize it had been that long). I had some serious issues last week with horizontal stringing, although I think I have that sorted out after adding some foam to the stocks of my rifles to improve...

I'll be applying for a deer tag here in southern AZ this year. I'm starting to look into rifle options. I've got several rifles, but my 6.5 Grendel AR-15 is the only rifle I own that would be even remotely suitable for deer hunting. So, that's one option, however... I really want a .45-70 lever...

Hey guys, I'm considering building an AR-10. I've built several AR-15s so far and am itching for something a bit stouter. My understanding is that there are a few different styles, and of course the parts generally aren't interchangeable. To my knowledge the DPMS-style AR-10s are most common...

Someone shared this on Facebook. Less than 10 seconds from the start of the video to when the first robber is down. It's a sobering example of just how little time you may have in such a situation...

Hey guys, I need some advice. I never thought I'd say this being a veterinarian, but there has been some recent events involving a former employee that have the staff very worried about a potential violent situation. It is bad enough that one of them is actually bringing her handgun to work just...

I've found myself in an interesting predicament. I've been going a bit crazy in regards to ARs the past 2 years. I currently have 5 rifles: 6.5 Grendel for target and hunting (hopefully) 20" scoped (3-9x40) rifle in 5.56 18" scoped rifle (1-4x) rifle in 5.56 -- Black Hole Weaponry barrel 16"...

I found the above tumbler on Amazon for an awesome price ($130) and decided to pull the trigger. I had just gotten done cursing the dusty, disgusting mess that my Lyman vibratory tumbler is and was getting really tired of the mess. All I can say is money well spent! Considering the tumbler came...

I got my Tucker Gunleather HF1 a few weeks ago. After I bought my Kimber 1911, I decided I needed a holster that would do the gun justice. I couldn't bring myself to slap it into a Kydex or cheap Bianchi holster. This is their HF1 holster with Egyptian border stamp and star concho. I couldn't...

Finally got out to the range today with my 10/22. A few months ago I found a used 10/22 for a decent price at my LGS, and I had been wanting to put together an accurate .22 LR rifle for plinking and general marksmanship practice (with a possible Appleseed day in the future). This particular...

This may have already been discussed, but has anyone else noticed that AR lowers are now difficult to get/expensive as we approach the election? I bought two $40 Anderson Arms lowers in preparation for this, and now I can't seem to find any more. Not that I'm all that surprised, of course, but I...

I picked up a used Ruger 10/22 the other day, with scope, for $210 at my LGS. I decided a few weeks ago after buying a couple bricks of Wolf MT .22LR that I needed a gun to shoot it. What better gun, then, than the AR-15 of the .22 LR world? (I say that in terms of aftermarket support and...

I wasn't sure where to put this, so mods, please feel free to move this to somewhere more appropriate. What is the general consensus on how to conduct trades online, specifically partial trades. For instance, say I have item X up for sale, and someone offers me item Y and $Z as a trade...

My wife and I went out to eat last night for dinner. I was CCWing, of course. On the way out of the little shopping center the restaurant was in I saw a sign posted below a stop sign stating that no weapons were permitted on the property. AZ doesn't require specific wording, and signs have force...

I went to the range today and had anticipated on trying out the box of Freedom Munitions ammo I bought several months ago. I made the mistake of not checking the ammo when I first got it back in September. When I opened the box today I found the rounds were WAY too long. I've attached a photo of...

Finally got out to the range today with my new Kimber Stainless II. Love this gun! I only had one stoppage, second or third magazine had one round that failed to feed. I marked the mag but didn't have any more issues. Fired 200 rounds through the gun this morning with 99.5% reliability. ;) I...
