    My 7mm08 didn't last long - I need a new one

    I have a Browning A-bolt in several calibers, 223, 260 and 308. I do not know if the newer models are called X Bolt? I also have a Remington Mountain rifle in 260 Rem. If I were to switch to 7mm/08, and just the one rifle for hunting, I would but the mountain rifle and use a good quality scope...

    SHTF: 357 Loads - Which one would you use?

    I like the 158 grain and heavier for anything than coyotes, but for most hunting, I use a 44 magnum. For small critters than become pests the 125 will do the job. I also like shooting the light and faster bullet in my little Marlin. I loaded some good 180 grain cast bullets, but as I said, I...

    Gun show questions

    I was selling at gun shows for about 15 years, as one of those guys with two or three tables. The idea is to buy your guns and sell then to some else for a hearty profit. One sale covers your table expense, another your motel room and gas, once upon a time. Here is what I would never tell then...

    Best lever action rifle?

    That is my close cover rifle choose! The Marlin in 44 magnum. I have two, the 1894 very clean, gold trigger and more rare rough gun on the 336 action and that is my hunting rifle. Both are great, I just like the 336 gold trigger most. I looked up all model years, the came from 1972 to 1980.

    Registering Guns?

    I think registering often refers to the yellow sheet one has to fill out buying a new gun. Since it is legal to privately trad guns in most states, it is more a way to track the gun back to the original purchaser. Therefore, it is rather meaningless, and yes, TV shows have been implying a gun...

    .308 Norma Magnum: Does anyone have it?

    There really is not much difference between the Norma, 30/338 and the 300 Winchester magnum, all are in the same catagory. Manuals will differ based on manufactures recommendations. I have the 358 Norma with a beautiful wood stock. The rifle was a real kicker, but I think that was more due to...

    .270 win. compared to 300 win. mag

    I said this before, perhaps here, the 270 and 300 Winchester Magnum have a similar trajectory with a difference of 50 grains more bullet for the 300, so the question comes down to whether or not you need to hit you target with a 130-150 grain bullet, or a 180-200 grain pill. You will get a bit...

    Who likes 380 ACP? Anyone like it as a primary?

    I used to carry a Walther PPK in 380 because it was compact and being a big fella, I figured that was all I would need if some criminal tried to hold me up at a late night gas station. I think it all depends on where you are, myself, I had not been around dangerous areas in many years. Now I do...

    Best place to buy AK mags?

    Ha ha, you will laugh at this; I read the title and thought the OP was asking about Ackley magnum cases and I was going to say your workbench. I’ll be 70 in a few months and I think this illustrates that change in mentality.

    7,62 X 39 and 30-30 in the same class?? Not exactly...

    I would think the 30-30 would be a better load than the military round 7.62 X 39, but I shoot 170-grain bullets. I would assume that good hand loads might be close to the 150-grain load. When I need my 30-30 in the brush, I like to knock down what I shoot, fact it I use my 35 Remington more...

    30-06 - 7 mm Rem magnum - 300 Win Mag...any practical differences???

    The 300 Winchester Magnum is a real notch up over the 30-06 or 7mm Remington Magnum. I seem these arguments many times, but I tell you that what one can do with a 160 Grain 284 one can come close to with a 165 in a 30-06 and that same is true with the 175 compared to the 180. The 7MM RM has a...

    A Natural Hunter

    I was raised hunting. From my earliest memories, I recall having to kill domestic animals for dinner. My mother and grandmother taught me how to get chicken ready for the pot; I was not more than six at the time. We butchered our pigs; my father expected my brother and me to kill and dress out...

    Dating RCBS press models RC JR and RS

    This is good history Ross My guess is that the Rockchucker with compound leverage came out after the B model and became the standard. The JR model was a less expensive alternative without the compound leverage. About 1980 the Reloader Special probably replaced the JR3 or the JR3 changed, then...

    Well I don’t know, a presume that carrying concealed without a permit is one matter, but around here keeping a shotgun in your truck gun rack is still legal.
