Hi all, I recently picked up a 10/22 recently. It's my first 22rifle, and I'm not used to the vertical drop from zeroing in between 50 and 100 yards. (Other rifle is a 308.) What do range do people zero in their 22? I decided I would set mine at 50 yards since I probably have a hard time...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a Stag model 3 and am considering optics options. I believe the Stag comes with iron sites. Flexibility (short range/longer range) is my primary goal. I am thinking about a 3-9X scope, and wondering if there are mounts that allow the iron sites to be used - or is...

Hello, I am not sure if this post belongs here, but I know of few other places to get the best possible answer to my question :). So my apologies if it is a breach of protocol. I am putting together a road-trip with the family and would like to avoid trouble. Trouble meaning picking the...

If you are not a MA resident - or were not a MA resident this won't apply to you. Please spare me the "why do you live there" comments. Thanks! 4 years ago, I got a Class A high capacity LTC from my town restricted to "Target and Hunting". The officer in charge said that I "needed" some...

P22 owners, I am having a bit of a hard time getting the 5" barrel clean on my P22. I was hoping my standard pistol cleaning tools (for 9mm + .38) would be up for the task, assuming I bought a proper brush to fit the P22's barrel. Oops. It seems I will need a dedicated device to do...

I would like to sharpen a bunch of knives for the kitchen, camping, etc. I would like to get a motorized device to do this but the home depot did not have what I thought would be ideal for this. I would like to get them 'professionally' sharp, but they don't need to be 'surgical' sharp. I...

THR's, I have a question for those of you who know more about spotting scopes than I. For reasons I won't get into, I can get a free Bushnell scope. However, I was planning on buying a Winchester scope with a larger lense, and greater magnification for ~$200. I would like to hear your...

I'm trying my hand at amateur writing and need to know how my character would decock his makarov after firing. thanks! -f

Typical Massachusetts crap. However, this may sound worse only because it is being reported by the Boston Al-Jazeera Globe. I heard on the ride in that the robbers used a pellet gun. FWIW, -F Gasoline station attendant wounds robber, police say By Justin Rebello and Emma...

I missed out on the opportunity to get a German K98 with Nazi markings on it. I had not really thought of collecting WW2 era firearms, but now that I have the space (safe) I am thinking about it. Anyone here collect them? Do you have any photos? Any insight for someone who wants to start...

OK, I just bought the gun safe, now what? Highroaders, I've just bought a Sentry 14-gun safe. I have not yet installed it and have some questions. First, I am putting it in my basement. I don't have flooding problems, but every spring get an inch or 2 of water when the snow thaws. I...

THR's, I need some help. I write a weekly/bi-weekly blog (http://tuffbeingright.blogspot.com) and want to include a bit on hypocritical anti-gun politicians (et al) who have a CCW. I need names, and most of all, a link to a listing of them. I've done a cursory search on google and...

highroaders, I write a periodic commentary to motivate my conservative allies and irritate my liberal antagonists. This next one will be based on a chat I had yesterday with a wonderful lady at a graduation party. She is a fiesty older woman in her 70-80's. While a staunch conservative...

My 870 is 15 years old and is now starting to have problems cycling. I first started noticing this a few weeks ago with reloads. I believe it is time to give it a major cleaning. While I strip & clean it after (mostly) each trip to the trap/skeet range, I suspect it is time to go beyond the...

Gang, This arrived in my inbox the other day. I cannot verify, but was told this was an essay from a book by Ralph Peters, "When Devils Walk the Earth." I looked on Amazon, but was unable to find it. Either way, I enjoyed the read, Hope you do as well: Chapter III. Fighting Terror...

OK. Let's keep the emotional part out of this, and stick to the gun law aspect. Do you think the Lacy/Conner law will keep the left busy with Roe V Wade and away from AWB & related laws?

I don't know if this story has been covered already on this forum or not but I don't recall seeing any reference to it. This sort of amazes me since I believe this HUGE. Granted, the gunmaker liability bill was more relevent to this crowd, but is anyone else steamed about the story of the...

Driven by the desire for an economical handgun to shoot during the financial doldrums between receiving Christmas bills in the mail and getting my tax return, I started looking into the limited selection of 22's that big brother (MA) says it's OK for me to buy. A few days ago I picked...

HighRoaders, I'm mulling a purchase of a low-cost plinker. I am looking at either a P22 or a S+W 22A (or 22S). I realize this is to some extent an apples/oranges comparison, but I would appreciate the collective wisdom of this board to aid my thought process. I would probably see...

I picked up a Pachmayr recoil pad for my 870 this week from CheaperThanDirt and went through many boxes of ammo at the skeet range this weekend. Saturday I split 7 boxes with a buddy and Sunday I shot 3 on my own. My shoulder feels great. We didn't use any light target loads either. I...
