    Looking to get a new bolt action

    If you are thinking about a .25 caliber and the .257 Weatherby, I wouldn't look any further than a Vanguard. I don't think there is a better deal on a rifle in a Weatherby caliber. They are well built, which goes for most all rifles built today. I just got a Browning A-Bolt which I really like...

    30-06 loads for Elk

    Thanks for all the help. I am going to have to hit the reloading bench to brew up some loads. I am going to try both 165 and 180 grain bullets and narrow it from there. It doesn't look like I can go wrong with either weight.

    30-06 loads for Elk

    I am going to start working up loads for my A-Bolt in 30-06. I am looking for any suggestions on bullet weight for hunting elk. I am thinking either 165 or 180 grain bullets. I know that the 165's would give me some extra velocity over the 180's, but is it enough to make a difference? The 165's...

    Opinions on One Piece Base w/Integrated Rings

    I have been considering the DNZ mounts for a Browning A Bolt long action. I like the one piece system for ease of alignment and strength. I ordered the Browning integrated scope mounting system for the rifle since it had very good reviews. I haven't received them yet, so I have time to change my...

    Elk Rifle Opinions

    I have been trying to decide on an elk gun and just picked up a Browning A Bolt II Stalker in 30-06 at one of the local gun shops for $510. I can't wait to get to get a scope on it and head to the range. I think it was a steal for the money and I hope it shoots. I had been trying to talk myself...

    Elk rounds

    I am planning on hunting elk next year in Colorado, if I can draw a cow tag. I will be taking my dad's .300 Weatherby for one rifle. I was told by him, I had to take it with me since he never got to hunt elk with it. It is an old Weatherby built on a Mauser action. I know it has plenty of power...

    Taurus semi-autos, are they as bad as I've heard?

    I have 4 different Taurus handguns. I have a TCP738, a model 44 6" barrel, a 24/7 Pro .45acp and a model 92 9mm. I have never had one issue with any of them. I have seen a lot of negative posts about Taurus and I respect their posts. They have there opinions and I have mine. I think they are...

    Mernickle Holsters

    I was at a gun show today in Salt Lake City, UT and got to meet Bob & Sherrie Mernickle. I was looking for a holster for my Taurus TCP. After talking with Bob about what I wanted, he steered me to one of their Conceal-Carry Performance Series IWB holsters(Model PS2). He showed me the one they...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Radagast, Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. I would say it is has small trigger guard. I compared it to my current J-frame and my finger almost fills the trigger guard. I would guess it is prior to 1953. Once again, thanks.

    Looking for Hi Cap .45 for CCW

    Taurus 24/7 .45ACP I have a Taurus 24/7 .45ACP with 12+1 capacity. I have been extremely happy with it. I have a model 92 also. I haven't had a lick of problems with either one. The reason I went with it was fit. I tried Glock (to big for my hand), Springfield XD (extremely close to fitting my...

    My New S&w 637

    I just bought a Smith & Wesson Model 637 at a gun show today. I picked it up for $375. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend who owns one. We both are in the hunt for a good inside the waist band holster for them. I plan on ccw carry for it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone on here know anything about early Weatherby Rifles?

    I am trying to find out the possible value of my father's Weatherby Rifle. It is any early one built on a FN Mauser action and it is marked Weatherby South Gate, California. It is in .300 Weatherby Magnum and has a chrome lined bore. It has a Jaeger trigger. The bolt and mag follower are jeweled...

    Full Size Revolver: .357 or .44?

    I have a S&W Model 66 that I absolutely love to shoot. It's SS with a 4 inch barrel and a Hogue rubber grip. It is an old State Trooper duty gun. I traded a Browning shotgun to get it and a bunch of ammo, kind of a dream gun. It is a pleasure to shoot with just about any ammo available. It's had...
