    Hunting successes with .357 Sig

    In my case... Oklahoma has small deer. I hunt my own property and generally I harvest deer in the 125 pound range. And shots are short... 35-50 yards is the normal thing. You can't even see 100 yards through the brush so that's no temptation. I love .357 SIG and it is my normal carry round...

    Can I ask an interstate handgun sale question?

    I’ve had my C&R for 15-20 years now. But... I’ve never sold anything! Trying to wade through legalese is a lot more error prone than asking other experienced C&R types. Ones that have sold stuff!

    Can I ask an interstate handgun sale question?

    Totally not wanting to break any laws here... but I would like to save some aggravation and shipping costs. I'm in Oklahoma. I own the handgun. Made in 1968... which could be important if somehow C&R comes into play. The buyer lives right along the Texas/Oklahoma border... but it is Texas and he...

    Is there some method of storing CCW handgun when entering Canada?

    We are home. We didn't take any guns or knives or large pieces of wood that could be used as clubs. They asked us a few questions at the 1000 Island crossing point and that was it. Beautiful country and nice to see the in-laws. That's my third time to Canada since we got married… I do have an...

    Is there some method of storing CCW handgun when entering Canada?

    I'm sure you are right F-111. I already remembered the loaded spare HK P2000 mag in the console. That's 12 rounds of a dreaded .357 SIG Gold Dot HP so that alone would probably put me away for life! I will look… I know they have no sense of humor about guns from the US… is it actually illegal...

    Is there some method of storing CCW handgun when entering Canada?

    No, I'm not asking about taking a handgun over the border into Canada. I know that is a go to jail kind of thing. But we are planning a vacation trip up towards Ottawa. Driving two days cross US to Niagara Falls, then into Canada for a week. Then back into the US and two more days of driving...

    Friend of mine just had to surrender his handguns (some lessons learned here)

    I lived in Hawaii for three years. JAN 86 to OCT 88. It was worse. Even for an Active Duty Army guy. Rifles and shotguns were bad enough but buying a handgun was such an enormous pain in the backside that I literally didn't buy one the whole time I was there. Probably the longest stretch of my...

    Is a Belgium F & N bolt action a good rifle action to build ? Firearms International Corp ?

    I had a custom rifle built a few years ago on an action just like that. The left side of the receiver was just like that, FN... Made in Belgium. The difference is that mine was a 1960's Sears rifle in .270 Winchester. Dad bought it way back then. I'm sure the barrel was fine but it was really...

    What is a 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser worth ?

    Somebody out there used to sell original front sights for the M96. So I got a tall one from him and that brought the sights into agreement with my eyes and loads. Easy cartridge to reload. The M96 is really long.. but mild to shoot. I bought mine right after I got in the Army... so should have...

    LCR in .327 Fed Mag…

    My S&W M296 Airweight Centennial is physically a bit larger since it is an L frame. But basically the same weight since it runs 18.5 ounces unloaded. I did also put larger grips on mine so the size/bulk category goes to the LCR. The Ruger does hold six rounds. The S&W only five... but those five...

    C&R book

    I've had one for years and I recently "accidentally" learned something. My C&R expired 01 MAR. ATF sent me the renewal form and it got buried on the counter. I found it basically on 01 MAR. I filled it out real fast and mailed it off with a check. ATF helpfully cashed the check but said I was...

    Kel Tec RDB --What's up?

    That's what my Dad told me back in 1968. That's what gun people and the NRA told me back in 1977-81 when Carter was President. Every issues of the AR was screaming headlines about how we were seconds away from "the end." And yet... in many ways post '81 has been the most successful time...

    rimfire derringers... seriously?

    Several of my relatives have those little High Standard over/under derringers. My uncle is a gun guy and he loves them. Multiple copies in both .22 LR and .22 WMRF. First time I actually got to hold one and look at it, thought it looked really well made and safe with DAO... but the pistol was...

    Savage model 116 338 win mag

    I know that doesn't sound like much difference.. but go the other way. Compare .308" to .03" smaller... that would be .278. So basically a .277 or .270. Now there are lots of people that love the .270 Winchester and people have used it on elk. But given a free choice and with recoil ignored...

    Which C&R rifle to get

    When I got a C&R years ago, I bought a wide assortment. I still pull out a Mosin on occasion. The Finn M39's are nice and you used to be able to get them cheap. The M38/M44 is a great little tough carbine. But to actually shoot and enjoy... really nothing has matched my two Swiss K31's. Very...

    Marlin Camp Carbine Vs. Ruger Police Carbine

    I bought a Camp Carbine in .45 a couple years ago. Used obviously, but it seemed in very good condition. I've been working on guns since my Army days 30 years ago so I'm able to do most things decently. But that little rifle has never worked right. It would double or triple with such a high rate...

    17 Remington Mystery

    It can be a tricky beast to reload. The one photo of the sideways bullet... looks like it is way at the bottom of the paper. Turning sideways killed the velocity and it started dropping fast. Tiny variations of powder can affect velocity in this round. Could be those two rounds didn't have...

    TAVOR vs. SCAR: new rifle!

    They are quite different. I have an FDE Scar 17. And I have an AUG. I love both but the size, the length, the cartridge... all different. Like comparing a Colt 1911 and a Ruger LCR in .38 Special. If you like the feel of the Tavor, go for it. The Scar 17 really is the "better rifle" in many...

    Why 358 Win so unpopular?

    I love my Remington 700 Classic in .350 RM. Bought it new in 1985. It was the first "big game cartridge" that I ever reloaded. I've put a lot of rounds on targets at a range and put a lot of deer on the ground. IMO... most people that have shot a lot of deer (or watched them being shot)...
