I hang with a bunch of cowboy shooters. Some of the better grade Pedisolies (sp?) are really nice but one guy has a Shiloh Sharps and it is a real work of art. Its not just the next step up it is way out there. Almost too nice to shoot. Like others I do think you might follow the advise as...

Most 22's that have not been totally abused will have the potential to shoot pretty good . Unsutable ammo , poor sights ,poor scopes , loose scope mounts,poor triggers and poor technique along with wind can really mess up groups. As others have said generally a match,standard velocity...

Any tube magazine becomes dangerous with spire tipped bullets,round nose and flat nose bullets lose some long range performance. Loading and unloading a lever gun is drugery compared to a magazine fed gun. Don't get me wrong,I love my levers for what they are but they aren't going to...

Centerfire can be silly expensive so if you want to shoot lots to learn 22rimfire is the way to go. Bolt action is fine but many think the Ruger 10/22 (semi auto ) is also a fine first gun. The basic gun is reasonable in price and quality and there are untold spare parts and accesories...

Your kid and all but a 308 seems like it might beat him up unless he is pretty big.I believe Hornady has reduced power/recoil loads available Many will choose the .243 for a first gun. Of course that would be light for a moose.

Free floats will help to get that extra bit of accuracy out of a match gun when one is really winding ones self up in a competition sling but for a general purpose rifle not so much. As some others have said I will generally shoot much better groups off of a rest than a bipod. Even useing a...

Toss them a handfull at a time into a burn barrel with a good hot fire. They pop off but it is really just the brass case ruputureing, the bullet goes nowhere without a barrel and chamber to direct the presure. For safety you want to be a bit away from things and don't stand with your face...

In the AR world lots of folks badmouth the Olyinpic Arms guns but I love my 9mm upper. Bought it used (upper only) and it has never skipped a beat. Any old cheep ammo including some pretty light reloads. I know several guys who shoot in a pistol caliber carbine match and the olyinpic guns...

I like the solid construction of the Garand. The history of this gun and the men who carried it just plain speaks to me in ways I can not speak of

I like the 10/22's myself but here is another gun to consider---10/22T It costs a bit more but comes with the heavy barrel and a better stock. The true answer to any of these "what gun should I get" questions is best deterined by you and the key is to think about what type of...

Yes. Wolf is what it is but is a poor choice to test gun or shooter for accuracy. Another thing -- Don't believe all you hear on this site or others about accuracy, lots of funny buisness going on!

I am also a big fan of the CTR . I don't care much for the regular adjustable stocks and the way they rattle and shake.

The 223 will be more suitable for yotes. The big advantage is that when you are shooting at a unknown distance a cartridge that shoots flatter is a great advantage to the shooter. Both calibers have plenty of power for yotes. Many shooters will have fewer issues with recoil management...

Pretty much an AR because thats what I shoot best. I can see the theory and usefullness to a 22rimfire to feed myself with with out letting everyone within 4 miles know that I have a gun

The serious target guys I know (real serious, national competitors) pretty much use 308 , and reserve the 300 win mag for when its windy. Some of them have been trying out some 6.5 wildcats. Truthfully I have never heard of any of them considering a 7mm. I don't know if its just...

Rock River is good. Sluggish? Ar's are meant to be shot "wet" with plenty of oil on the bolt/carrier. They also need good full power ammo. Clean and oil properly,use good mags (GI type or P-mags), and good ammo. These three things will cure about 95% of most AR problems

Here is what I did for a friends kid. I bought him a new 10/22 (stainless). Took off the factory plastic stock. Took a old factory wood stock (many guys and stores have them laying around from builds) and chopped about 5" off the stock. Mounted up a cheep...

This might be a good time to sell the rifles as the market is high. This however is a crummy time to be buying components. Prices of lead,copper,brass are quite low but due to demand (and greed?) reloading components are crazy and supply poor. I have sold a couple of rifles and am shooting...

Certainally very good shooting but I will offer you some caution. Statistically a single five shot group can be somewhat misleading. Shoot one,let the gun cool down and shoot another. Keep on and if you can obtain similar results with 3 or 4 groups you know you are really on to...

I believe you have several things working against you here. Bipods can work against you unless you have taken the time to find a technique that works well for you and your setup. This is dificult when you are also fighting some other issues. Untill you work out some other issues I would...
