Kind of a different topic but I would think your issue should be straight forward to diagnose and correct. For starters based on your comment "even with US ammo" you have tried different ammunition in each gun, if not you should. Essentially you want to eliminate or isolate the ammo as the...

I might as well add my general impresssions of the Ranch as well. The good, it is short, light, handy, and seems to be quite accurate. I am only 40 rounds in and have not had any trouble, not that you would expect any. The not so great, the action is far from smooth, I guess that is my only...

Funny you should ask. Just picked my ranch up yesterday for the same reason, 15 year old stash if 154gr SP. It shoots them very well. I am getting 1.5" groups at 100 yards from a bench using bags and a 2-7x scope. Not bad for ammo most said was only good for 3-4" groups... I have not had an...

TN Outlaw, this isn't really directed at you, yours was just the easiest post to quote :) Please don't take my nitpicking critique of the CZ527 carbine as I don't like it, the opposite is true in fact however, I am searching for perfection here! It can't be said often enough how nice...

Let's not give Mr. Humphrey to hard of a time, I can remember him making valuable posts when I was a regular here 10 years ago. Perhaps it was a bit of a sweeping statement but let's keep in mind we have people from all walks of life here and things are certainly different all over. "Woods...

All good suggestions, did I mention this is a never ending quest :) Previous purchases to fill this role happen to include a Marlin 1894SS and a CZ 527 carbine in .223. Doc7, I have actually considered and even handled a Ruger American compact although not the stainless version. I believe I...

It's time again for every ones favorite exercise... spend somebody else's money! I am searching for a new candidate in my seemingly never ending quest for the perfect everyday walking gun which can and will double as a white tail deer gun. I have been trying to keep up with what is being...

Check out hill people gear. Good options for running, biking, and hiking.

I don't know where "Limbo" is but if you lived near me I would let you try one. Not to sound negative but prior to handling them I had my sights set on a CZ75B, didn't really know the Hi Power existed. I had shot a 1911 and didn't think it was the gun for me hence the CZ. However when I did...

I have a friend that has one in 7mm-08. Ohio Gun Guy summed it up well, it is light so it does have a bit of recoil but nothing that is going to hurt you, just not the gun you would want to put 100 rounds through off a bench in a day but that isn't it's purpose. It is accurate, his does 1.25"...

To add to my original post and I just went to look at what a Savage 12FV is since I wasn't sure. I have a Savage FC16SS, think I got the model right, anyway it is a .243, accutrigger, box mag, synthetic on stainless and shoots very well. The SPS tac, has an adjustable trigger, XMark Pro I...

I have a SPS tactical and like it. It shoots UltraMax 55gr ballistic tips under 1 MOA, that has been good enough that I haven't tried to work up a load for it. If I want to get picky I would have to say it weights in at 10lbs with scope & sling. It is also nose heavy to the point a bipod or...

Not at all what I thought you were going to say. I have a beagle and if she sees me get out a gun she gets excited but that is because she thinks we are going out, which is true most of the time.

I agree with your views on NYC gun laws. However, you being from SC is like the pot calling the kettle black, you might want to check out your own states reciprocity laws, not really much better than NY's. I know my NY & PA permits are not honored in SC, I don't believe FL or UT are either...

This is not correct. In NY we still have to play the "features" game. Pistol grips are not illegal but are on the list of allowable features of which only 2 are allowed.

Folks, I just wanted to chime back in, I appreciate all the information. 1st, before most of this was posted I went ahead and shot my little J-frame with both "standard" and "+P" rounds. The thing shoots great! It was around 12 degF out so I only was able to put 60 rounds through it, mostly...

I just picked up a nice barely used 2" SS model 60-3, which says .38 special on the barrel and in the manual. Is it ok to occasionally practice with and carry +P? I have seen a couple people claim they contacted S&W on the 60-3 and had them say occasional +P is fine, it just may accelerate...

Makster, the ones I have seen have been split on the bottem to apply tension inorder to hold it in place. If you remove the post all the way you should be able to spread it some which should help hold the post in place.

I have done the same with my Marlin as Asherdan. Started with the 240gr SJSP Winchester load, however I avereged 1796fps. I now reload, tried to duplicate the performance of the Winchester load, currently sending a 240gr SJSP down range @ 1740fps. Not max but is accurate so I will probably...

Winchester isn't a 2 box limit it is a $15 limit I think. 2 boxes of premium or 3 boxes of super-x.
