I just inherited my fathers Springfield 1903. Based on the serial number, it was manufactured in 1919. I cannot find anywhere about the position of the firing pin while a round is in the chamber. I know the newer rifles have pins that back off while in the ready position, so that if the gun...

I recently bought a Stevens model 200 in 300 mag. I am looking for a pre-fit recoil pad. I called Savage, and they told me that the stock/pad interface is the same size as the synthetic savage rifles (i.e. 111, 116, etc). I looked at limbsaver at the 10011, 10030, and 10111, and none of them...

I am looking at loading 165 grain nosler balistic tips for my new 300 win mag. I plan on using IMR 4350, a couple of grains short of max, and working my way up. The only thing I do not have a feel for is if I need to use large rifle magnum primers, or if the large rifle primers are sufficient...

I have reloaded 30-06 and .270, and just picked up a 300 win mag. I am confused about the case seating, and how that relates to reloading. Do factory rounds seat on the belt, and then once sized, they seat on the neck? Does this mean you would have to sight in for each scenario. Is factory...

I was fortunate to shoot a whitetail at just under 600 yards this last season, and was comfortable at that range. I am looking to upgrade from 30-06 to 300 win mag. Most individuals I know use 180 grain boat tails with the 300 mag. I would prefer to use a 165 or 168 grain bullet. I know some...

I am looking to go from 30-06 to 300 win mag. Money is tight, so I was looking at getting a stevens model 200, and then upgrading the trigger. I have an old savage 110 in .270 and love it. I understand it is essentially the same as the stevens 200. I could really use some advice here. I am...

I have a friend who would sell me his Ruger Security Six (4") for about $150. It works in double action, but not in Single. The hammer does not stay back, and then doesn't drop all the way back down when released. You have to then pull the trigger back to decock. I would like to pick it up...

I have a friend who would sell me his Ruger Security Six (4") for about $150. It works in single action, but not in double. I would like to pick it up, but don't know much about how to fix it. Another friend told me that if I send it in to Ruger, that they will fix it for free. Can anyone...

I bought a Taurus Millennium Pro in 9mm last year. I can't find out if this is a +P rated pistol or not. Does anyone out there know, and can you point me to some solid information that suports it, if it does. Thanks

I am going to go out coyote hunting in the next few weeks. Since I always try to eat what I kill, I wanted to find out how you cook up these little guys. Anyone with a great coyote recipe out there?

I own a Taurus 24-7 in 40 S&W, and a Millennium-Pro in 9mm. It seems to me that I always shoot low. I read a thread last week which mentioned that these two models have sights that are designed for the front sight white dot to cover the target, as opposed to having the target above the front...

I am looking to do some coyote hunting in the Southwest (AZ, NM, TX). I see three or four standard types of camo at the sports store. Who can help me out in deciding the right one? I assume one with not too much green, being that I am in mostly desert areas. Need help. Hammy

Leupold 4X, Not Enough??? So I bought a 700 BDL in 30-06 off of a friend last week, and went out Saturday to try it out. On the way there we were passing a cattle ranch that a friend of mine owns, and noticed a coyote munching on a dead cow in the middle of the field. We jumped out, and my...

I have a Norinco Chinese AK-47 that I am considering letting go. It has been used but not abused. I am not looking for an exact value, but some kind of range. I would think at least $300, but I had a guy tell me it was worth much more than that. I am not out to make a fortune, I just want to...

So I finally expended some political capital with the wife, and went out and bought a 12 Gauge SxS. I ended up settling on the Stoeger Uplander Special. It looks great! Has double triggers, removable chokes, and feels really light. Paid $355+tax, which I think is awesome. I am going out to...

I am considering buying an inexpensive SxS (Stoeger), but do not know much about single verses double trigger. I do some recreational clay shooting, dove, and quail hunting. I think I could adjust well to either, but don't know enough to make an informed decision. I have also read some forums...

I have a co-worker that has a FIE SxS 12 Ga. that he said he will sell me for ?150. Seems to be in great condition, just has been sitting around for a while. I haven't been able to find much info. on the FIE brand of shotguns. It looks almost exactly like the stoeger uplander. It seems to me...

I am looking at the Stoeger Uplander SxS double barrel in 12 Ga. Seems like the price is right. Any reason why I shouldn't pick one up? Any other options that are in a similar price range??? Would welcome any comments or suggestions. Hammy
