I don't really want to rifle hunt for deer this fall. It's just getting to be too easy. So I'm planning on my longbow and my Smith 69. Just wondering what factory hunting loads you prefer for whitetail/mulies. Are there any lower recoil hunting loads that are still effective? Thanks Sent...

Finally was able to get to the range and shoot the new 69. Awesome! Started with a cylinder of Hornady Critical Defense and wow! Shot like a kitten! Then the 240 American Eagles, hot dang that hurts lol! Then my grizzly load of choice is the 305 HSM's. It seemed the heavier load was more of a...

Picked up my 69 yesterday, finally! Can't wait to shoot it! But I've been looking at the Wilson Combat trigger spring kits for this and for a J frame we have. I'd like to help out the heavy double action if possible and still keep it reliable. Is this possible with the springs? How hard are...

So Ive been wanting a quality bolt rimfire for a while, a CZ. And I see they make the 22/17 combo. But if I want to just buy a 22LR I can just go and pick up a 22 mag or 17 barrel later on if need be? The actions are all universal? Thanks

I'm pretty savy using Google but I'm stumped on finding selection of holsters for the 69. Particularly a kydex one. I know it's sinful to even talk about putting a wheel gun into a kydex. But it would be for my hunting pack in nasty weather and I'd rather not have to worry about the leather...

And the bear/backcountry handgun debate goes on... Planning on buying a Smith 69 in 44. But I'm bored at work and looking at 480's and 454. I read that the 480 might actually have lighter recoil than the 44. I'd also like to take up handgun hunting. Also in Montana our bear season for gun...

I need a side arm for the Montana back country. I don't want to get into a "what's a better caliber for griz debate", because let's face it a tank is the obvious choice followed by a very large caliber rifle. So I was looking at a 10mm and a 44. But this Rowland seems to bridge the gap. I see...

Anyone own one of these? My buddy is huge into LR shooting and I'd like to get an affordable rifle to play with him and learn LR ballistics and shooting. I was looking at Rem's 308's but everything I can find says the high end Savage shoots better out of the box. I've found posts from a few...

Anyone shoot CZ's? I've been lusting over an American 22 for years. I recently got my grandpa's Sako Riihimaki 222 and I'd like a modern 222 to pair with it, especially because rimfire is so hard to find. What a sweet heart of a cartridge! I see they have their 527 American in 222. The single...

Anyone played with this yet? Thinking about buying one in an XBolt if Browning continues to chamber the Nosler line of cartridges. I'd use it for pushing high heavy BC bullets for Western hunting. Nothing too crazy. Inside 5 hundo. I don't have a magnum bigger than my 270 Weatherby. Seems like...

I inherited Grandpa's 222 Remington this spring. It currently has the vintage Bausch and Lomb 2.5-8 straight tube with the adjustable mount. I'm getting a Burris from a coworker that I'd like to replace it with. But I'm not sure what I need for bases/rings. It seems on the back it has a dovetail...

So why can I not adjust the rear sight notch on my older Redhawk to the left without breaking the sight notch? My shots are left and I need to drift the sight left to adjust them over. However the sight only adjusts to the right and then to the center... I thought these were fully adjustable...

Not much of a revolver guy, not that I'm not a fan, but I haven't bought one yet or shot one much. Well the father inlaw lent me an older Redhawk 44 to use as bear mace while bowhunting. He asked if I'd clean and oil it for him. I guess what all needs oil on these? They are pretty bomb proof...

What's the story behind this brand. I looked and they seem to be out of business. But Gun Joker has some good deals on their 44`s. The first 44 I shot was my buddies dad's in high school. That was a long time ago. How do they compare to a Smith? Thanks

I ended up with a redheaded step child, a 1B in 7mm Rem. Made in '69 and I believe it has a Douglas barrel. Anyways it's just a project gun at the moment, not sure what to do with it. In anticipation of getting the rifle I researched a lot and found threads and threads on how inaccurate No...

Seriously considering a model 69 for a supplement to bear mace. Having small hands it fits me better than any other. Hypothetically I'd want to load said gun with some Buffalo Bore hard casts or something similar. Now being a former gun counter guy I know to take everything they say with...

I acquired a 7mm Rem Mag in a No 1 made in 1969, awesome classic. Thing is I'm a right handed shooter and want something in a bolt gun for 1k yard shooting. If you Google "Accurizing Ruger No 1" you'll see pages and pages of guys using everything up to voodoo magic trying to get these guns...

I ordered a Redding National Match set of dies that includes a crimping die. I'm newer to loading and have never crimped any of my 22-250 or 243. But now with this AR and does it help crimp? It just helps lock the bullet in place, how's this effect accuracy? Been looking it up and see its...

I built my loading bench and mounted a nice shiney Dillon 550b to it. I started off with some 69 BTHPs they loaded OK... The die wanted to seat them at an angle... Strange... Went onto some 55 Vmax and same angel problem and the die was chipping and damaging the polymer tip. Now I've...

Finally was able to test the new DDm4 V7 today! Actually found an indoor range and made the 100 mile pilgrimage. The rifle ran excellent. Bought a Black Rain Ordnance Bro-DIT trigger on Saturday and it was pretty good. Took a little getting used to. It has some up take them a crisp break. I...
