    Remington 700 308 Varminter barrel length

    Which would you buy 20" or 26"? After the first of the year I'll be in the market for a heavy barrel 308 and have narrowed it down to one of these but not sure which barrel length that I want. I have a VLS in .223 with a 26" barrel so the need of a different gun case is not a factor. I also...

    Storing M1 Garand

    For those that own one how do you store it? Hammer down on a empty chamber, left cocked or with snap caps? I recently purchased one and after getting it I purchased a 2 round clip and some Azoom snap caps so I could de-cock it for storage.

    7mm-08 loading recipes

    I'm in the process of getting a 7mm-08 and have never loaded or shot this caliber before.

    Tell me about the 17 HMR

    I recently won a Marlin 917 vs 17 HMR from a gun raffle and know nothing of the round other than it is a neckdown 22 Mag. Pricing on the ammo tells me that it's not a round that you would want to shoot all day like the 22 lr. I get to pick it up this next week and will try it out.
