I have an old Savage 99 that my dad gave me when I was 11. Long story short, it was his old rifle, but he quite using it because he broke the stock on it and went with a M70. When he gave it to me, he replaced the stock, it never really fit correctly. Over the past 10 years I have gone through...

I am adjusting the trigger on my Rem 660 and accidently backed the overtravel screw all the way out, and now I can only get it to screw about 1/2 way back in...any suggestions??? Thanks!!!

I took my Brittany out on pheasants for the first time yesterday, and sadly, she was very scared when the birds flushed. I would kick up the bird, and she would run in the opposite direction once the "pheasant druming" started. She could care less about the shot, only the bird flushing. Any...

I have a 8 month old brittany that isn't pointing. I took her out on live birds for the first time today (piegons) and she found the birds, but just wagged her tail and sniffed them...Two out of three she actually flushed. :( I was surprised that there was not even a flash point. :confused: As a...

I went out this past weekend deer hunting and what a great weekend it was. I took a good friend of mine deer hunting for the first time and tried to teach him all I could before and during our trip. We were hunting in thick cover and I was teaching my buddy how to walk quietly, take breaks, go...

My wife was nice enough to buy me a couple boxes of Federal 30-06 180gr. Accubond rounds for an upcomming deer & black bear hunt I am planning. I was out shooting the rounds when I got a jam. My bolt wouldn't throw all the way back??? After inspection, I noticed a piece of white between my bolt...

I want to have the bolt on my Savage 99 jeweled, and am wondering if you all know someone that does it? Any info and links will be a great help. Thanks!

I am was poking around the Tikka T3 website and saw that they offer an oversized bolt knob for all T3s. I looked online, but have yet to find one. Does anyone know where I can get one, or is it a special "comes with the rifle only" type thing? Thanks!

I am in the market for a new 45 and am wondering which model 45 has the lowest felt recoil in your experience. I am shooting mostly Winchester Ranger ammo and it has quite a bit more recoil than standard loads and I am trying to tame it a little. Thanks!!!

I am looking for a 44 mag. I like the Ruger Redhawk and am wondering what your opionions on it are. This gun will be on my hip while hunting for and Oh S. moment, but I would like to shoot a doe with it one day. What barrel lenght would be good for what I want? I am thinking the 5.5 will be good...

I am looking into getting a HD shotgun and after doing research on both the500 and 870, the main complaint of the 500 is the plastic trigger housing, but the 870 express also has a plastic trigger housing. What gives? Is the more plastic in the trigger of the 500 or something? Please educate...

I am looking for a new shotgun (the weight of the wood 11-87 is killing me on weekend pheasant hunts) and am looking at the Benelli SEE II or the M2 12 gauge. The only difference I can find between the two is the SBE shoots 3 1/2 inch loads while the M2 will only shoot 3 inch loads. Is that...

The wife and I are moving into a house soon and we would like to get a dog. I originally thought of getting a Lab or a Golden ( http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=324140 ), but we have decided that neither dog really fits the bill for us. We are really looking at the Field Bred English...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071221/us_nm/security_airports_dc I have flown just once, and I only did because my F-I-L paid for it. I hated it. Total BS IMO Wonder what would happen in RTC was allowed in airports or on planes?

I am finally getting my own house, and the wife and I would really like to get a dog. She really likes Golden Retrievers, but I am a pheasant hunter and am worried that a Golden's fur will pick up every little sticker in the field. I don't wan't to shave the dog because I am afraid that when I...

Is there anything I can do about being a heavey sleeper? I never really noticed how heavy I sleep until I got marrried a few months ago. First, my wife snores so loud, you would think that the heavens just collided. If I go to bed before her, I never notice. She goes to work before I do in the...

My Tikka T3 magazine is not fuctioning properly. The first two rounds load and extract fine, but the third/last round gets jamed in the magazine. What happens is the bullet end of the cartridge gets itself lodged in the bottom front corner of the magazine and will not come up while the primer...

I am looking for a do it all end all rifle and have pretty much come down to a Ruger 77, Kimber 8400, or a CZ 550 American. The Rugers have a lot of aftermarket and spare parts seem to be everywhere. I have heard that their costomer service is great and that their guns are quality, but...

My wife's parents are going to be moving to Oregon in the next year or so and want my wife and I to follow. I visited the state last weekend and I am impressed. I have a couple of questions I am hoping you all can answer. If I move, how long do I have to wait before I can get a CCW? Is it a...

I have been hunting black bear and deer at the same time for the last five years with no success on bear. Well I finally had it so I called a friend and next month we are going on a black bear only hunt in an area where seeing at least one bear a day is the usual. When I go I want to make sure...
