When shooting handguns, I use both ear plugs and muffs, don't want to worsen the tinnitus. Always have a problem with rifles, the muffs interfere with trying to get a solid cheek weld. What am I missing ?

Just obtained a Daniel Defense DDM4 V1 and want to mount a Leupold VX3 scope (40mm). Any suggestions for rings / mount that overcome the front 'iron' sight ?

I have about 1000, 400 gr lead round nose bullets for .45 Colt. Can't find any published load data. Was wondering if I could run into any problems loading with, say, 7gr of Unique. Or, should they just be used as paperweights ? Thanks, Ken C

It took a Warne 20 moa base and Burris Signature Zee rings, but the Savage model 12 along with a Leupold VX3 scope is finally zeroed at 100 yards. Using a Cadwell DFT Lead Sled, I was able to shoot 4 shot groups (what the magazine holds) with all 4 holes touching, YEAH ! At 200 yards, the group...

At 25 yards, the new rifle is shooting way low. Even after dialing in all the "Up" it's still about 7-8" low. Should I shim up the rear mount ? If so, what do you guys use ? Thanks

Finally, the LGS called and the distributor has one. So, the rifle should be here in a few days. It's a VLP DBM model in .223 Rem and will mainly be used for target shooting at 100-200 yards. So, the next step is a scope and mount. Probably going with a DNZ Lightweight mount. But, regarding...

Just ordered a Savage 12 VLP DBM in .223 Rem. Mostly target shooting out to 200 yards. I plan on mounting a Leopold VX3 scope but have no idea about rings and bases. Any recommendations ? Thanks. Ken C

One wonders why Winchester does not offer their Model 70 Super Grade in .308 Win ? I called Winchester customer service, they had no clue. The .308 Win is, obviously, very popular and introduced by Winchester, it's their cartridge ! On well, just a little rant. And the search for...

A while back, I realized I do not have a bolt action rifle other then a 50+ year old single shot Remington Model 514. This is just not right and shall not stand !! :) Mentioning this to "she who must be obeyed", she surprised me with the offer to help buy one for my upcoming birthday. An...

Purchased a Ruger New Model Blackhawk convertible, .45 Colt and .45 ACP. Went to the range to try it only to discover a strange problem. Flipped open the loading gate rotated the cylinder till it rested against the index and went to insert a cartridge and no go. The cylinder holes would not...

I've got a Walther PPK, in .380 which I want to use as my concealed carry pistol. Taken it to the range and tried various types of ammo with no problems. The question is about the "safety - decocker". I want to have six in the mag and one in the chamber. To do this, put one in the mag and load...

Just received my CC permit from the state of AZ, thank you very much. I'm planning on carrying an Interarms Walther PPK in .380. Living in the Valley of the Sun (113 two days ago), most of the time I'm wearing shorts and an untucked shirt. Looking for recommendations for an IWB holster...

Just noticed the extractor pins are missing on my 586. It seems to function OK without them. Are they really needed ? Should I replace them ?

Just obtained a quantity of W231. Could you share any .45 Colt loads ? I will be using Missouri Bullet 200gr RNFP, #4 Cowboy bullets, New Vaquero / Colt SAA revolver power level. Thanks.

Going to try putting together a few .45 Colt 'black powder' loads. I have some Pyrodex FFFG equivalent, 200 gr RNFP bullets (Missouri Bullet Cowboy #4), filler wads, lube, and, of course, empty brass. A Ruger NV will be the pistol of choice. What would be a good mild to medium power load ...

I try and go to the range once a week. Normally, I take two guns and shoot 150-200 rounds through each. If I use the same two guns, should I clean them after every session ? Or would, say, once a month be sufficient ?

I came into possession of a large quantity of reloaded 10mm ammo. (how that happened is another story). Anyhow, what do we do if we have a bunch of ammo and no gun ? We buy another gun, of course !! :) After reading this and other forums, the Glock 20 was one of the candidates. And when the...

I'm going to purchase a new Colt 1911. There are three flavors of interest, a 1911 - WW1 Replica, a 1991 series, or a series 70. If you had to choose from these three, which one ? Also, is the 1991 series the same as the series 80 ?

Just acquired a M1A and am looking for a good scope mount. Springfield sells one for around $100 and was wondering if anyone out there is using it. If so, how do you like it ? TIA, Ken C

Been reading about this rifle and am thinking of trying to buy one. Any suggestions where to find one already 'converted' ?
