30-30win Marlin 336 I own one and if I had to par back to one rifle that would be the one I would keep. Shoots well and combined with skill is a good hunting rifle. I think if you needed to defend yourself it would work just fine. Of course I watched too many western movies as a kid.

I have a M48 Mauser 8mm with the following markings on the side of the barrel up near the front sights. "YUGO M48 8mm GTM KINGSTON TN" These markings look newer than the rest of the codes and numbers. I haven't had success yet in finding out what the "GTM Kingston TN" references. I am...

I like the .308win because you have a very good selection of factory ammo and it is easy to find in most places. If you reload then it is even better...but the .308win is about the same in most ways as your .30-06, so if you are looking for something different maybe the .270WSM is the way to...

I am thinking of buying a Ruger SA .357mag/38spl Blackhawk and was wondering about getting the 9mm convertable cylinder. Are there any common problems with this setup? Was wondering about accuracy with the 9mm bullets plus any long term ill effects of shooting 3 types of ammo in one revolver...

Having some rules is always a good starting point. I don't think more rules, never ending, is a solution to serious social problems. Background check I am ok with, some limits on types of weapons... rocket launchers, 20mm cannons. There once was a country where people had rifles and...

The country keeps going the direction it is we will have to register large kitchen knives, and make sure we keep them locked up when we are not in the house. They are deadly weapon after all, and I might buy a knife that had been used in a robbery, or sell one to a criminal...I just do not know...

I'm happy hitting a gallon paint can at 100 yards with a .308win, so call me a redneck or whatever, but that makes me happy and doesn't require a lot of extra's besides rifle and ammo. I do admire people who are better shots than me (lots of people) and I do wish I could shoot those 1 inch...

.30-30win would be in my truck, but I don't have a truck anymore...but I will put the .30-30win by the bed. Some points I have about the .30-30win: Easy to shoot, available ammo almost anywhere you go, good looking design that does not frighten the anti-gun crowd, heck you look like the Lone...

If I don't have a grand-daughter can I buy another rifle? :D

I agree with the shotgun approach. 12ga or 20ga would be best. Price is low on most self defense type models. Shotgun is very versatile. Recoil might be the only drawback depending on the user. Short barrels are available to make them more handy. Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 are both...

I vote for the Weatherby Vanguard also. I have one chambered in .308win and it is the best rifle I have seen for the price IMHO...$408 out the door for me at the time...Everyone has different ideas of what they like, but if you look at bolt construction, extractor, and overall finish the...

Call me one more gun nut. I am always thinking about the next gun I would like to own. Really like to talk/read about ballistics, interested in the history of different chamberings too, and yeah people look at you odd when you can go one about something like that for an hour or more, or you...

I had a cousin that I think used to lie just to have something to say. Sounds like some of you may have met him. I lost track of him a few years back and I'm making no attempt to find him. I like to be ethusiastic about firearms, but I try to keep my knowledge up to speed with my talk...

People and children are killed in accidents and unfortunately on purpose everyday, by all types of weapons, and some non weapons. One child killed recently with a golf club - psycho father. I'll take my chances with the gun laws we already have, don't think it needs to get more restrictive...

Dogs are a good early warning system. They won't necessarly stop a determined person, but they can allow you time to think and react. I have a Walker-Coon hound mix and she is old and gentle but sure does let me know if someone comes in the yard or near the house. I keep her inside and she...

I keep trying to convince my wife I need a New Marlin Stainless Steel .45-70 Guide gun...Maybe this is something she should see.;)

Without looking it up I would think the USA has more children population wise than the other countries mentioned, so I suppose we would just have bigger numbers for almost any type of death? Me...I am more worried about the biggest deadly weapon which I deal with everyday...Idiots behind the...

Don't know that I really have a collection yet, but my intent when looking or buying is to try to get as close to an ideal hunting battery as possible. I look mostly for older chamberings .270win, .30-06, etc, They seem more practical to me, and the ammo is easier to come by and usually...

Didn't mean to dump on Walmart in general. I shop there quite a bit with my wife. Didn't mind the walk to the door, or general precautions with firearms, just thought I should have been able to check the condition of the rifle myself. The bolt was out and inside a plastic bag. It wasn't...

Weatherby Vangaurds are pretty good guns at a budget price. (400-600 dollar range) plenty left for a top line scope. They weigh in around 7.5lbs and put a good scope on one and you are in the 8.5 or 9 lb range. I have one in .308win and it is solid with a good finish. Triggers can always be...
