I suppose every one by now is tired of hearing the old WalMart stories about lousy clerks, terrible service, stupid people and all the rest. Hear one more that isn't all bad . . . probably about average. First and only stop, the sporting goods counter. Had the place all to myself. No...

My son has joint custody of his kids (four girls) and I had the pleasure today of treating them to Easter dinner at a nice restaurant. During our rambling conversations, my son mentioned that he had taken one of the girls (the 11-year-old) to our river cabin yesterday and had a shooting...

I've had in my possession for many years a 1951 catalog distributed by the Hollywood Gun Shop, owned by Lyle S. Corcoran of Hollywood, Calif. The 15-page booklet (one page is blank) gives detailed information on the original "Hollywood" reloading tool, the Universal "A" and "B" tools...

Perhaps this isn't the place to put it, and perhaps no one gives a hang, but I'm going to give a brief range report on my H&R Handi .22 Hornet anyhow. I loaded four each of 11.0, 11.5 and 12.0 grains of H110 behind the Hornady 35-grain V-Max and went to the range, specifically to attempt to...

In my state, only open carry of a pistol is permitted, so those nice IWB and other conceable holsters just aren't yet in the cards for me. My question is, can any one recommend a nice leather right-hand holster I can carry my Ruger GP100 (four-inch barrel) on my right hip while hunting or...

Is the .222 no longer a viable cartridge? Once the sweetheart of benchrest shooters, it seems to have fallen into disuse today. Remington and Ruger no longer build rifles in that caliber. I realize that the .223 has pretty much shelved the .222 magnum, but the .222 has been (and still is ) an...

Just a reminder for you war movie fans out there: "Band of Brothers," the finest (in my opinion) war movie ever made, will be broadcast on The History Channel starting April 11 at 8 p.m. Central Time.

Looked out my patio door yesterday morning and saw the strangest looking critter loping/limping across my back yard. At first I took it to be a red cat because it had a long, skinny tail. Looked closer and saw it was a young red fox, but it was like no fox I'd ever seen before. It's tail...

I miss C. R. Sam. For a guy who didn't have much to say, he sure said a lot.

I plan to replace the Leupold M8 4x scope currently on my H&R/NEF Hornet with a Leupy 3-9x variable. There are two versions currently available, at the same price, and I don't know--and can't tell by the specs--the difference between the two. I'm partial to the Leupold because the rear lens...

What's all the flap I've been reading on this forum and others about the S&W sight adjustment screwdriver? Have they become another "must buy" item? Dug around in my gun stuff and found two of 'em. One is all steel and the other has a steel shank and bit and an aluminum handle. The...

Okay, here's the deal-- I got new Ruger GP100 and I'm loading some .357 stuff for plinking and target shooting; nothing too hot or too mild. Have .38 Special for the latter. Trouble is, I checked FIVE different loading manuals and got as many answers, some that scared me. I'm using the...

Got a birthday coming up in mid-March and I think I've got my bride of 49 years talked into getting me a pistol powder measure. Frankly, I am unhappy with the precision of my RCBS and Lee measures with Unique and H110 powders. Thought perhaps a dedicated pistol powder measure like the...

Went to a gun show this morning. Man it was crowded; wall-to-wall gun enthusiasts, not even room to get up to the tables to see what was for sale. I did manage to crowd up to one table long enough to inspect and buy a Ruger stainless GP100, four-inch .357 barrel, full shroud, adjustable...

I'm about ready to plop down some funds for a Ruger GP100, so I've been checking the auction sites for ballpark range prices. In one description the seller said his GP100 was double-action only. Can that be right? I want a double-action piece that can also be fired single action. Can't find...

For the past year or two I've been logging on to H&R Talk, an internet forum primarily for owners/users of H&R Handi Rifles. Today H&R announced that it is dropping the forum permanently because of "administrative and technical reasons." The forum had been a regular feature of H&R 1871...

In the 2004 session of the Nebraska Legislature, Senator Gene Tyson of Norfolk has again introduced a bill to enable concealed carry. Haven't yet gotten a copy of the bill, so can't inform you of all the details. However, so far I have e-mailed both Senator Tyson and Matt Connealy, the state...

I was browsing through eBay yesterday and noticed a Lee Perfect Powder Measure up for auction. It was labeled NIB, had about five hours yet to go before expiration, had at least 16 bids already in and the high price offered for it at the time was $31.50. I checked the new Cabela's 2004...

Lost My Data-- Can any one direct me to Richiardelli's web site? I had to re-install all my computer data and lost everything. I'd like to download some of his great files again, but can't locate the site.--Beav PS: Any other interesting sites you can send along would be appreciated.

Friend of mine and his son were bow-and-arrow deer hunting in southeast Nebraska recently and both saw a mountain lion. That's probably not such a rare instance because one was recently detected and captured in the middle of Omaha. This morning my friend reported that his son went out...
