    Ruger SR40c vs Sig P226 in 40 S&W

    I've never fired a SR40 but I do have a SR9c which has a nice trigger and absorbs recoil very well. My son has a Glock-26 that hurt my palm. After firing my Ruger SR9c and his Glock-26,about five years ago, he put his 26 in the safe and doesn't use it any more.

    Custom Arisaka 30-06

    Nice-looking rifle. Is that a 3/4" scope?

    Custom Arisaka 30-06

    Don't know about the floor plate. That's the way it was. I assume you load, perhaps with a stripper-clip, from the top. This is my only 30-06 and don't have any cartridges to try it out. At the current price and availability of ammo, I'll wait for a good deal because I am into .22lr and...

    Custom Arisaka 30-06

    I was recently gifted a Custom Arisaka 30-06 that was built by my brother’s father-in-law. He was a diamond setter, jeweler, engraver and held patents on hydraulic fishing reels. Pretty sure this gun was done right. It has a Redfield 3-9 scope. If anyone else has custom Arisaka they want to...

    The perfect rifle: The 30-30

    My uncle did a lot of big game hunting and his 30-30 was mainly for upstate NY deer but he liked a 30-06 for the larger animals. I’m 83, so that was back in the 1940’s when my uncle gave me his advice.

    The perfect rifle: The 30-30

    My uncle told me you only need four guns; a .22lr, 30-30, 30-06 and a 12 gauge shotgun. Still don't have a shotgun but I like the look of a Remington 870. Here is my Winchester trapper 30-30.

    Marlin announcement from Ruger

    I'd recommend hanging on to any Marlins you own as they will surely increase in value. No doubt, Ruger will make a rugged and dependable "New Marlin" line but with investment castings instead of machined steel. Hope they come close to the quality of Henry stocks. A deer shot with either...

    Shooting a lot of 22's / Center fire improved immensely

    I learned many years ago that a .22 lets you concentrate purely on the target without anticipating the recoil and muzzle blast of a centerfire. My centerfire 9mm and .40 are for protection, the .22's are for pleasure and improving handling skills. Being retired, the lower cost of .22 ammo is...

    Best state to hunt multiple game animals

    Upstate NY is beautiful. I used to live in Orange County and you can’t count all of the deer that migrate to Bear Mountain State Park during deer season. Extreme taxes and insane liberal government convinced me to move to Florida where I can buy a handgun and not feel like a criminal.

    Best state to hunt multiple game animals

    I looked up the range of every type of North American game I’d be interested in hunting and Western Montana was the answer. Everything but wild pigs.

    How about your 10 all-time favorite knives? 5 you already own and 5 you're sure to own one day?

    I have been into guns since the early 1950’s but only recently became interested in knives when a friend gave me some collectible knives. My knowledge of what’s collectible, values and what will appeal to me is limited so don’t take me as some knife guru. These four are knives I own. A...

    What makes a 22 LR rifle or pistol fun?

    I never owned one but always thought the top-break H&R 999 would be the ideal choice for easy loading and unloading in a .22 revolver. A single action is slow to load/unload but is much faster than a black powder cap and ball revolver.

    What makes a 22 LR rifle or pistol fun?

    I use old circular saw blades for steel targets. Make sure you bolt them to angle iron or a post so that the center hole is covered. Otherwise, theres always that guy who claims his shots went through the center hole.

    What makes a 22 LR rifle or pistol fun?

    Those are 6mm BB caps (primer driven, no powder) made by RWS. I shot a few through a Ruger Super Single-Six. They are not quiet and went through a piece of 3/8" plywood.

    What makes a 22 LR rifle or pistol fun?

    I’ve had good results with CCI, Federal, and Winchester.

    Which gun to buy?

    Which one will blow out your eardrums in a bedroom in the middle of the night and you didn’t have time to put on your shooting ear muffs? I hate the muzzle blast of a short barreled .357.

    Which gun to buy?

    Sorry, didn't see the +- signs. But the Sport King would still be my huckleberry if it's in decent shape.
