    Scope for a Varmint Rifle. Suggestions?

    I have become a prairie dog shooting junky, and it takes up a lot of my time from May-September every year. I have been shooting a pair of Cooper model 38's, one in .22 Hornet and the other in .221 Fireball. Both rifles wear identical scopes - Leupold VX-3 LR, 6.5-20x40, with Leupold's Varmint...

    Out of State Long Gun Purchase

    I am having a bit of a disagreement with a licensed firearms dealer, and I am hoping to tap into the expertise of the High road experts. He claims it is illegal for a non resident to buy a long gun from a dealer in another state, and immediately take possession (basically a cash and carry...

    Topeka Kansas?

    What can you all tell me about Topeka specifically, and Kansas in General? I may have a relocation opportunity there and I'm trying to get info. Some areas I am looking for insight into: 1) Gun "scene" (CCW, competition, hunting, etc.) 2) Employment. Not an issue for me, but will be...

    Run For the Border!

    OK Zundfolge, you asked, and here it is . . . My Uncle Bob (name changed to protect involved party) taught me to shoot, starting when I was 8 years old. We spent lots of time over the years out in the deserts of Sourthen California, shooting every type of gun imaginable. To me, Bob was...

    Good Dog Day (Yes, Im Bragging!)

    My partner and I got a little Pointer bitch last spring. Sue is a granddaughter of last years (defrocked :( ) national champion, Miller's Online. I ran her in her first trial today, and she took fourth in Amateur Puppy, and second in Amateur Derby. Needless to say, we have high hopes of...

    .45-70 vs. .458 Win. Mag.

    Has anyone seen the penetration tests of these two calibers? There have been several of them, and the results are pretty surprising. .45-70 (using ammo typified by Garrett Cartridges 400-500 grn. hard cast lead bullets, at velocities from about 1,500 to about 2,000 fps.) has greater...

    This Aint No Gentleman Bob!!!

    If your quail hunting is steeped in the tradition of the Old South, and consists of a mule-drawn wagon for the guns, dog handlers on Tennessee Walkers, proper dogs (that would be Pointers or Setters, thank you very much!), and guns with two barrels and no larger than 20 ga., you owe it to...

    1866 "Yellowboy"

    Well, I've decided to set my IPSC guns aside for a while and play cowboy. After a less then stellar experience with a borrowed '92 (It must have been me - the guns owner shot it just fine), I bought a Cimarron (Uberti) '66 in .38 special. Wow! It is, by far, the prettiest gun in my safe...

    Are You and Your Gun . . .

    Any Good, and How do You Know? Are you good because you can routinely hit pop cans at 7 yards? Is your gun good because it is the same gun used by your state's Highway Patrol? Or is it something else? Let's hear your ideas. Scott
