    Minimalist Rifleperson--What Do I Need?

    Skunkabilly, Where's there a 600 yard range around OC or LA? I could use practice at a longer range. Bill

    Rifle cartridge reloading

    Mtnbkr, I would suggest refraining from making 200 rounds all at once to start. I'm concerned you may make 200 rounds that will cause you frustration by not patterning/performing well. I've found experimenting with 5 or 6 rounds each with same powder charge and free-bore to with evaluating...

    Are you a collector or a shooter?

    Both. I have two collections, one is for display/investment (no shoot) and one is for shooting. The display/investment rifles are mostly Win 88's and other factory chambered .284 Win either nib or lnib. The shooter's are mostly odd or discontinued chamberings with some conventional chambers...

    Local chain gunstore robbed

    It's the store in Riverside that I shop at. The news report said they cut a hole and entered through the roof while the store was closed for business. Just another case of the criminals making harder on us honest shooters and hunters. :fire: The irony of it is that we the citizens of this...

    Price check on a Browning A-Bolt

    Check GunsAmerica, there's a Stainless Stalker without BOSS, with scope and rings in 7mm Mag for a fair price. I got a used SS without BOSS with Williams open sights installed and Leupold QD bases for $490 last year. I suspect it was a distress sale. I personally wouldn't want the BOSS. Good...

    Best Rifle?

    I'm surprised the AK is favored over the AR. I have an M1, Pre-64 Win 70 in 300 H&H w/ 26" barrel and want an M1A NM. I have been issued an M16 many years ago. From these of which I have experience I selected the Pre-64 Win 70. The M1 is a close second. Bill

    Which rifle for absolutely nothing?

    HSMITH, I'm just GREEN :rolleyes: with envy. That's the one that I don't have. Have one of each 88 but that one. And the price on 'em just keeps going up and up. One nib recently sold for $2500. Just because, hmmm, it's a toss up between either a DuBiel or SAKO 75 SS in 416 Rem Mag. or an...

    Which rifle for invasion?

    Heard on the news tonight, part of a story about divers checking under ships in L.B. port, that only 3% of those shipping containers coming in are checked. Ships must notify authorities of their arrival 93 miles out. There has been people smuggled in them, some not so lucky. Would anyone have...

    Do you carry a sidearm when you hunt?

    I deer hunt where there's mountain lions and I typically hunt alone. I carry a S&W 687 Mountain Gun (.357 Mag) while hunting just in case I have to shoot one off from me. Noticed this past year that the exposed smooth surfaces are terribly reflective in the sun. I'll probably have it glass...

    Four caliber battery?

    225 Win either .284 Win or 30-06 or 7mm Mag 8mm Rem Mag either 416 Rem Mag or 458 Lott Those either or decisions are tough choices.:confused: They'd ultimately depend upon the rifle selection.

    Carfax for guns?

    Aren't the S/N's checked when they're transfered through a FFL? I tried to find such a data base on the internet several years ago without success. I deduced there must be one someplace but, it's kept secret by the govt. I had a gun stolen many years ago. I reported it and wanted to see...

    Which rifle for invasion?

    If they hit the shores of PRK (peoples republic of California) we be in short supply of AR's here, very short. AK's more or less are in the same trucks traveling east. What the heck, our state representatives would probably welcome them with open arms. Since I agree with maintaining my...

    Where do you shoot? Skunkabilly, Do you ever go up on top of the Cleveland national forest, them there hills to your east, to shoot? I'm out here in Norco and if you'd like to know the way up drop me an email. Maybe we can get together and do some shooting. Bill

    Daughter is Beaming

    Dan, Glad you got to see the expression on your daughters face instead of after it's to late. Your post made my eye's a little glossy. I have an only daughter and one heck of a collection she'll get. For now she's got a .22 Cricket. In another year or two she'll get the Ruger 77RL MK1 .257R...

    Help me pick a new rifle caliber

    That's going to be a tough decision since you've disqualified one of the best selections. For a short action receiver consider the 7mm-08 or .308 or the 6.5x55 or even rechambering the -08 into .284 Win. If you wanted a wildcat and have the ways and means you could rechamber the .308 into a...

    We need more Western Films

    The good ol days Re1973, As I grew up in western NY our school bus driver was the owner of the local gun and tackle store. People would flag him down and hand him firearms to take in to have 'smith work done for them. He'd also return them same way, front door delivery via the school bus. I...
