    UPDATE: Magnetospeed Chrony help

    I was recently given a V1 by a friend who picked up a V3. I picked up some batteries and when I turned it on tonight the language is in Spanish. How do I change it to English? I've checked the manual and their website but neither list anything about this. My friend is currently unavailable...

    Savage 110 Plain Walnut stock options

    My next build is going to be a medium weight barreled .30-06. My builds in the past have all been "tacticool" but, I am in the process of ordering an M1 Garand so I am feeling a bit nostalgic. I was thinking it would be nice for my 110 to have a plain walnut stock to match the M1 and an old 870...

    Is there a manufacturer that makes a rifle with a magnum sporter or light varmint contour chambered in .30-06? Or is this something you would just have to replace the barrel to get?

    Ar15s and hunting

    I was just thinking I keep hearing "these "assault rifles" aren't used for hunting". I know this isn't true as I have used them hunting and know others have used them for deer, varmint and hog. Is there some way this can be brought to the attention of everyone? A Facebook page dedicated to...

    Texas Man Shot Dead at Gun Range

    I wonder what happened? I have always felt pretty safe at the range but, there have been those times that someone shows up and just scares the crap out of you. Guess this is just another reason I like going out to my buddies place to shoot rather than the local range. Thoughts and prayers for...

    Help! Bent Action

    How bad have I screwed up? I was attempting to remove the barrel nut on my Savage action yesterday and bent the receiver. The smallest action bar has bent in about .055in. Is this something that can be fixed at all or do I need to be looking for a new action. If I were to see about fixing this...

    I have a Winchester 1890 .22LR. This gun is basically either a parts gun or a project gun. The blueing is completely gone, it is covered in lite surface rust with some pitting on the receiver. The serial# (155xxx) on the receiver and tang match and according to the research I have done it looks...

    180 SST vs 180 GMK for deer and hog

    I am looking to load some hunting ammo for my .308. I am currently loading 175smk but need something better suited for hunting. My rifle (Savage 10fp) really prefers the heavy stuff so I am looking for something around the 180gr weight. The SST and the Gameking both have very similar ballistics...

    I have recently decided to try some of the Hornady 178gr A-Maxes in my .308 and need powder suggestions. I have been loading 175 smk with Varget.

    Decision time! What would you do?

    I am needing to downsize my gun collection. So I am selling my bolt action .223 and one of my .308s. The guns are used for varmints out to 400yds and deer and wild hogs. I have yet to see a bear, elk or moose in west Texas so I am not really concerned with being able to take that kind of game. I...

    Stupid Reloading ? regarding .30-30

    I started reloading several months ago so I am still new to the reloading world. The other day a friend and I were talking about me possibly reloading for his 30-30. The question about why there were no spitzer-pointed bullets for the 30-30 came up. I explained to him the issue with...
