    What is your favorite folder you own?

    I carry a big Benchmade auto AFTK I believe. Stays sharp and has enough weight to feel very good in my large hands. Mine has the 1/2 serrtted blade. I wish it was all standard blade. I don't carry it much any more, it was pretty costly when I bought it. I'd feel really bad if I lost it. So for...

    Henry -- Pleasantly surprised

    Henry's Both of my sons 32 & 39 own a Henry 22 lr. The times I've shot either one of them I have been impessed with the smoothness of the actions. I can't feel it pick up a round. Feels just like it does when cycled mt. Accuracy has been very good. No problems of any kind. Over all they have...

    Shooting gone flat

    Shooting gone flat. Switch sights, if you normally shoot with a scope, switch to a rifle with iron sights only. I had to do this to keep my interest in Deer hunting. It was simply to easy to shoot a mule deer with a scoped 30-06, so I switched to a open sight lever action 30-30. I also moved to...

    You're not a true American if you don't own a xxx

    Not an American if you don't own a pick up Truck. You need a lever action 30-30, a good 357 handgun, a 1911 in 45acp, and a good 22 cal rifle or handgun. That's the Code of the West, but a pick up truck just clinches the deal. Throw in a good pump 12 ga. shotgun and you'll be set for any...

Hornady XTP's over a strong charge of powder. I like the 140gr. bullets for most uses, My cast load is a 150--158 gr...

    Why are 7.62x39 not common in bolt action rifles?

    7.62x39 Bolt action rifles. I have one of only 2 or 3 Ruger bolts i've ever seen. Mine is the stainless in a boat paddle stock. Has a moderate cost 3x9 scope on it. I also own a couple of SKS's. The Ruger shoots rings around any sks. With the cheap surplus ammo it stays right around 1 inch. I...

    Finally found a SS PT92 no rail

    Ss pt92 I have a SS PT99,same as the PT92, but with adjustable sights. Have a satin nickle PT 99 also. Like the satin nickel, looks better. Both are great handguns, very reliable and never a problem of any kind. :)

    Best value handgun in $350 range?

    Best value handgun in $350 range. Keep your eyes peeled for almost any of the P series in 9mm. A P95 Ruger is one of the best available in my opinion. Even a nice stainless P89 would do in this price range. Kinda boxey but way over built.

    What is too much magnification?

    To much Magnification? I find that if I go much over 10x that i see my heart beat. To much. It does make it easier to shoot between beats but some times I fiind my self hurrying to get the shot off before the next beat. Maye it's just me. :scrutiny:

    Smith 617 22LR 4 or 6 inch barrel

    617 22 lr 4inch. I bought the 4 inch 10 shot. Most expensive 22lr i've ever bought. Also the very best 22 lr I've ever had. Mine shoots like a rifle. Trigger is great. I'll have it for the rest of my life.:D

    Buck Vanguard

    This is one of my favorite knives, not to big, and well shaped for my purposes. $40 is a good bargin. If it's not abused. Buy it or let me buy it. :D

    9mm Carbine

    Keep your eyes peeled for a PC9. Takes Ruger mags for the P series handgun. Looks a lot like a 30 carbine sort of. Fairly heavy for such a small rifle but built like a tank. I have a good one and my oldest son (39) has one of his own. I cast 125 gr plain base bullets already and the Ruger...

    jacketed ammo for 30.06

    Jackketed 30-06 ammo. The ones mentioned are great, But STAY AWAY from the French Surplus ammo sometimes encountered in silver and blue boxs. 50% failure rate and corrosive, berdan primers. Don't see much of it any more but watch out for it. It's crap. :cuss:

    How much cheaper to load 9mm?

    I bought primers back before"the crazy times" for $15 per thousand, and a couple of 5 pound jugs of Bullseye at the same time. I've been casting for years and have a huge supply of cast bullets built up in many calibers. The wheel weights were free. All my 9mm brass was free. I size my 9mm...

    Anyone loading 223/5.56 with H 335, 55 gr bullets??

    I happen to be sitting on 32 pounds of H335. I bought a case of 8pounders of it before "the crazy times" along with a case of 8 pounders of AA2230c that is very similar. The AA2230c doesn't flash nearly as bad as the H335 does. I've been loading the 25gr H335 and 55gr pills for years. i do like...

    What is your best 357 revolver?

    My favorite 357mag would have to be my 5.5inch Redhawk' It's had a really good trigger job, (that would make a Python jealous.) it shoots better than I can. Huge handgun, that soaks up the recoil of even the hottest loads. With ease. With lite loads it's like shooring a 22 lr. I've only seen 2...
