    3-screw Super Blackhawk (problem)

    I know you mentioned you didn't want to send it back to Ruger, but it really isn't a bad thing. Sure, they will do the conversion, but they will return the original parts back to you with the gun. It will be much safer with the conversion, and you always have the option of restoring it to its...

    Remington SPS Tactical in .223

    It will work fine, just don't expect it to be accurate. Its not that heavier weight ammo won't work, its just that cheap steel cased ammo won't be that accurate. I've shot a lot of steel case stuff through a variety of firearms, from bolt guns to ARs, and it typically averages 2-3" at 100...

    358 Winchester vs. 338 Winchester Magnum

    Actually, recoil can be quite stout with 200-250gr bullets out of .358 rifles. I have one in a Browning BLR, and you definitely no when you've pulled the trigger! Of course, I doubt its nearly as bad as the .338, but its still noticeably more than my BLR .308!

    Dillon 550 Primer system

    Me either, and I have used two different 550s over the last 4-5 years. In fact, I use the 550 as my bulk priming tool for cartridges I don't even load on the machine.

    Anyone bought/sold a Service Six recently?

    As long as it was in good to very good condition, I would pay $250-275 for a Security Six. Local shop has one for $300, but its been in there for a while.

    Bang for the buck target scope

    I think you will be fine with the Weaver 24x. I have one on my LRPV, and have been very happy with scope.

    Savage 340: Does anyone still love them?

    I'm not sure what it is about the rifles, but I am a big fan. I have three of them, a 340A .30-30 that was built before they started drilling/tapping the side of the receivers, a 325C Compact .30-30, and a 340E .222 with a steel tube Weaver 10x scope. I'd like to find a rear peep for the...

    358 Winchester vs. 338 Winchester Magnum

    Antelope to Elk is a fairly wide open proposition, and neither cartridge would be what I'd call ideal for that range of hunting. Of course, both are more than adequate, just not perfect. Personally, I would go with the .358 for a couple of reasons. Its a short action cartridge, is much...

    Winchester 94ae Misfires

    I had the same problem around 15 years ago with mine, and it turned out there was a headspacing issue. Barrel was ultimately replaced under warranty, and I never had any more problems with it...

    257 Wby

    Yes, the .25-06 would be the way to go if you aren't reloading (and stuck with a 22-24" barrel). I've read some guys are getting impressive ballistics with the .25-06 out of a 28" Encore ProHunter barrel, so that is always an option.

    Major depression regarding prices!

    I agree with the Tikka comment, very good rifles that are extremely accurate.

    Browning BAR--Belgium, Can Someone Date This?

    I have the exact same gun in .270, albeit with a SN of 110** M7. I called Browning directly, and mine was manufactured in '67 (first year of production best I can tell). Mine isn't in quite as good condition as your rifle, but I was able to get the rifle for $400 cash. I lucked into a set of...

    Most Reliable Semi-Auto .22 Magnum Rifle

    I had very good luck with a 597 .22 Magnum, which was also extremely accurate.

    Which model is this S&W and what year was in man'd?

    I picked up a snubnose Smith and Wesson today, and I am not sure of which model it is. The model number is slightly worn off, and all I can make out is 1*-5, with the "*" being the number I cannot make out. It appears to be a K frame, with the square butt and 6-shot cylinder. Its marked .38...

    remington 700 front sight

    You will need a sight pusher, as the sight is two pieces (the ramp/base and the bead sight). The ramp/base is held in place by two screws, one of which is hidden by the top portion of the sight (which is drift fitted into the dovetail). Push it out with the sight pusher, or tap it out (which...
