I'm considering getting an Anschutz in .22LR. I'm still in the early research phase. I saw on the Anschutz web site that there's a big difference in weight between the 1416 models, at around 2.5kgs and the 1710 models, which weigh about a kilo more. The dimensions, barrels, and stock...

I'm pricing out gear to get into precision .22LR shooting. 30'06 is too expensive any more. I'll be shooting at ranges of 50 to 200 yds. Hitting quarters at 100 yds consistently sounds like a lot of fun. What magnification do you need in order to do this? At what point does the next level of...

Does anyone have any experience with these things? I searched and found a few brief mentions, but no real reviews. In particular, I'm interested in the 15-45x60 straight, but any info is appreciated. I've been very impressed with Leupold rifle scopes so far, but I have no experience with...

It seems that whenever the subject of double rifles comes up, someone asks why they aren't common and then someone else points out that they're tough, i.e. difficult to make. The problem, apparently, is that it's a laborious process to "synchronize" the barrels in order to make a real...

Savagearms.com lists prices. HR1871.com doesn't list prices. Comparing prices on Gun Broker reveals that H&R singles sell for about the same amount as Stevens 200s. It seems like the 200 is a lot more rifle for the money.

Does anyone here hunt or do anything with a 220 grain 30'06? Is there any animal that'll drop when hit by a 220, but which would get up and run when hit with a 180? Also, since most 30'06 barrels probably come with a twist rate optomized for 150-180 grain bullets, won't a 220 be unstable?

How many rounds does it take to wear out a .22LR barrel? I've heard stories of over 100K rounds. Who wants to claim the record?

The Enfield action cocks as the bolt is closed, rather than when it's opened, as is the case with maybe every other action ever made. This difference makes the Enfield easier and faster to operate. The M1 action is very strong and durable. I've read excerpts from (Army/Ordnance Dept/whomever)...

Hi, I have two questions about scope terminology and Leupolds in particular. I'm trying to decide whether to get a VX-I or a VX-II. First, what's the difference between "friction dials" and click-type? Second, what designates "target knobs?" I thought that it meant that the knobs had...

Moderators: I didn't know where else to put this, but I'm sure that it has a place here. Everyone: If you can't ignore partisan implications then this probably isn't very important to you. If you can then be aware. http://www.youtube.com/swf/cps.swf?video_id=RjALf12PAWc&eurl=

Hi, everyone. I'm sure that many of you will know what this is immediately. This was found while going through the effects of the dearly departed Uncle Bob. Unfortunately, no one ever told him not to store his rifle at the bottom of the compost heap. There is a stock, but it doesn't look...

1. Does anyone own one of these? I searched but didn't come up with much. 2. MSRP is two grand. Is the 750 just a 550 dressed up to look like an AI, or is there something more to it? The 550s (in 308) cost less than half that. 3. Rifling twist is 1:12. Isn't this a little slow for the...

1. How accurate is a factory FAL out the medium ranges -- say five or six hundred yards? I've read that it's not great, but I'd like some numbers and stories. Nevermind that it's a battle rifle and most engagements take place at 90yds, etc etc. 2. DSA offers a few different models with a...

I've read that various machine gun barrels had the bores lined with stellite. It's a very hard alloy that apparently allows a barrel to stand up to many thousands of rounds, many more than a plain steel barrel. If it works as described then why isn't it more popular? It seems that most people...

Does anyone actually own and shoot an EDM? I see them mentioned as "wish list" rifles, but I can't find a range report. Are they worth it? Not interested in any particular caliber, wouldn't mind hearing about them all.

Like many of you, I'd like to some day be able to afford an AI. I was having this discussion with a friend of mine when he mentioned that he thought AI had KB issues several years ago with their .50 cal rifles in military service, and that there were a few casualties. Does anyone know...

I have a Mossberg 810 that's in need of a rear aperture sight. The barrel actually identifies it as an 810A, but searches for that model come up with very little. Williams makes just what I'm looking for, though I don't know whether it'll fit my rifle. It's the model FP-70AP-TK. According to...

Attatched is a photo of an American infantry company armed with Mosin-Nagants. That date on the photo appears to be 1914. If not 1914 then 1919. I saw this photo at my uncle's house and I decided to share it. Apparently his grandfather is in there somewhere.
