Hello, There is nothing on the Winchester site about this. Can anyone confirm it? Regards, Rick

I searched for a story about a wolf killing a baby in Montana, and the original post is about the only thing that shows up. Are there any more details available? Perhaps a link to the story? It seems to me that would be a widely reported story? For some reason, I keep thinking of tin foil...

Hello, I believe that the site in the last post should be http://www.arcanamavens.com/LBSFiles/Shooting/Downloads/Ranging/ I would disagree that the Barska scope is useless. As long as you check the mildots at known ranges with known size objects at known magnification settings...

Thanks for the replies! I will have to see if I can find a mount to borrow. That is the easiest thing to check. I will re-post when I figure it out. Regards, Rick

Hello, I have a Saiga in 308 with a side rail for a scope mount. When I put the mount on and tried to sight it in, the scope ended up more than a foot low at 25 yards, with the scope maxed out. The mount looks like it would be adjustable. It is an all-in-one, complete with rings...

Check That Headstamp!!!! Hello, Look carefully at the 7.62x51 at Gander Mountain. I thought that it was Aussie, but what I bought was not. It was apparently Indian stuff in Aussie cans! Check the headstamp on the rounds and look around on the web. Ammo sellers can buy ammo cans too, not...

Hello, I was reading a Usenet article on shotguns, and the writer claimed that a side by side shotgun was given a 5 clays per hundred handicap when shooting against an over/under. Does this sound reasonable? That a sxs is about 5% less successful than an ou? I know that ou's...

Churchill in Viet Nam Hello, It's kind of ironic that Viet Nam came up here, because that is another area where Mr Churchill has ... how shall I put this... an active fantasy life. He was apparently in VN, but his records show no actual combat, and he claims to have volunteered for LRRP (Long...

New Owner of 980V Hello, I just bought a 980V about 4 months ago. It's gotten me out shooting more already this year than I did all of last year. I really like it. I put a Simmons 3-9x scope on it. Picked up both at Gander Mountain. Rifle was $230, scope was about $50. The new...

Hello, I picked up a Moisin Nagant M38 (I think I got that right. Short barrel, no bayonet). The price was a bit high at $107, but there were only a few at the show. It has been arsenal refinished, so I don't expect any problems, and when you get right down to it, a rifle in a decent...

Hello, I live in Endicott, and shoot at the Tioga County Sportsmen's Association. How about you? Any other Triple Cities folks out there? Regards, Hammerhead

Thanks for the replies! Hello, Thanks for the information. I'll try cranking down on the screws. I guess I can't hurt the receiver, so if I mangle the rings and have to get better ones, that will be a solution right there. Regards, Hammerhead

Wouldn't miss it! Hello, I will be going up, probably on Sunday. I don't know when I will be there, I have to see when my friend is going to be free. How about you? Regards, Hammerhead

Hello, I just bought a Marlin 980V bolt action in .22 to work on my off hand shooting. For those of you not familiar with it, it is a heavy barrel bolt action with a pretty much full sized stock. I suspect that it is a lot more accurate than I am, but I am having a problem with the scope...

Don't blame the cops! ANYWAY= FEd weasels post makes me think of something= WHY THE HECK dont cops, with all their gear, have wireless access to their loudspeaker so in that situation where baby and father are KILLED by jumpy cop, he could have first yelled "DROP IT" or something before...

Something similar I was driving through town one day, and see a young girl apparently being savaged by a Doberman. She is screaming, the dog has her by the arm and is shaking her. I am unarmed, except for a small pocket knife, but I figure if I can get my arm around the dog's neck, I can...

OK, here's a newbie question Once you have whacked your wabbit, what about the fweas? Err, fleas? I am thinking that you won't skin each one as you dispatch it, and I am guessing that fleas would leave the carcass as it cooled. There is an old joke about "busy as a man with a dollar...

Permanently attached vs removeable (Is is bad form to post twice a row? :neener: ) Hello, I don't like to attach a sling to a pump shotgun when I think I might actually use it. A sling on a auto is one thing, but I think if I tried to put a sling on a pump, I would end up grabbing the...

African vs American Hello, African carry is muzzle down on the off side. It sounds slow, but with your support hand on the forearm, you can actually get the gun into firing position very quickly. For me, it is much faster than... American carry is muzzle up on the strong side...

Hello, It depends on the people, but I usually will offer a few rounds if I notice someone checking out my rifle. I guess that I am lucky in my range, because I have never seen anyone do anything unsafe, so I haven't had to worry about getting shot with my own gun. I think that...
