Been too long since i have made it to the range. Finally got out today. It was a pretty pleasant 45 degrees and sunny, late afternoon. First up, i chrono'd some 78gr lrn bullets out of my ruger single six magnum, 5.5" barrel. 2.9gr bullseye was giving about 975fps. While certainly not a...

Took the plunge today and bought a new airgun (actually bought the wife an iwatch and she said i should buy a gun. Well, if you say so.....). My first in probably a decade, my first pcp, and my first >.177 air rifle. Bought with the hand pump. Looking forward to playing with my new toy...

so my grandfather gave me his dad's old Hopkins and Allen safety police revolver. It's a .32 and nothing special, at least based on model. Having never met my great grandfather, it's sort of a neat way to connect with him. I had a gunsmith check it out. He cleared it to shoot light cowboy...

im very interested in 10mm long slides. Mostly as a range toy, but hopefully some hunting opportunities. The Remington looks to be a neat gun. But I've been unable to find one locally to handle. Curious if any of our members have hands on experience with them. With a bit over $1000 street...

I know this isnt a place where we are good at talking people OUT of buying guns, but.... A small local shop has as Marlin 922m for sale, with a small Simmons scope. Stock was in decent, but definitely used, condition. If I recall correctly, it was listed for $225. It seems to me that they...

At long last I got my newest Henry to the range. Its a big boy steel carbine in .357. Barrel is 16" long. Im not much of a photographer, but here is below its big brother, the big boy in 45-70. The wood on the henry is really pretty. Very nice color and grain. The fit isnt as good as...

So, question for the seasoned 45-70 reloaders. I have a box of MBC cast 405gr bullets. Awesome lump of lead to send downrange. But, Im curious. The only load data I can find for 4064 & 3031 for a 405gr cast bullet stops at Trapdoor levels (highest pressure at max load for either...

I picked this up from a local pawn shop for $820 out the door. SRH 44 mag with a Leupold 2x scope and a Bianchi international shoulder holster. I did end up needing to replace the hammer spring, cost me about $13 shipped from Midway (Wilson Combat trigger tune kit). Loving it so far. Once...

Hit 60+ outside today so had to hit the range. I have been reloading a bunch in the past few months, so wanted to chrono some of those loads. Also bought a new toy (SRH 44 + Leupold 2x) that I had to try out. Im kind of a geek, I love the info from the chrono. Figuring Im not the only gun...

My grandfather gave me this revolver today, it was his fathers. Grandpa never shot it, great grandpa, maybe... I found the following verbiage on the gun. Hopkins & Allen Arms Co Norwich Conn USA Pat'd Aug 21 1906 Safety Police F5XXX I've been researching all afternoon. It...

So as the title suggestions, I've recently got the itch for a small bore shotgun. Initially I was enamored with the .410 BPS, but more recently the 28ga is talking to me. I especially like the BPS medallion despite the heftier price tag. I really have no need for either as I have a semi 12ga...

So I shot my first reloads today. .38spl, 4.5gr of Unique pushing a 125gr Berry's bullet. I was shooting them in my 6" 686. Despite feeling that I did pretty good QC, I was a bit apprehensive at first. I chose this load because it was what I could do with he components that were locally...

Interested to hear some thoughts and ideas on an in-home airgun range. Pics would be great too, stuff to watch out for, etc. Im not looking for anything elaborate, but I have the space in the garage. I've got a small Gamo pellet trap that I used in the old house that I'll probably...

So I'm fighting with my Beretta A300 Outlander. For the first 9mos or so I owned it, worked great. More recently, however, its been an exercise in frustration. It started probably around Memorial day, lots of fail to eject, stovepipe type issues. Not a lot of fun when your semi auto gets...

A little background... I've never owned a single action in any caliber. I had a S&W 629 some years ago. I have a Buckmark that I want to dot-sight on, but I dont want to be without an open sighted .22lr pistol. I also have been enamored with the .22WMR since I was about 15. Why? Who knows...

First off, I'm not in any way affiliated with JC Steel Targets. This is simply a review based on my experience. BTW, they seem to be working for a pretty good cause, with some profits going to a youth ranch. I do not have my own private range, so portable target stands were a must. I...

Alright, so a little background.... Im an admittedly novice duck hunter, but Im really enjoying my first season. I hunt a flooded field, about 2-3 feet deep water. The blind is maybe 50 yards from dry ground. Well it has been pretty cold around here for the better part of the last week...

I bought an A300 Outlander a couple months back. I read a number of positive reviews and purchased. Its been great for clays and should serve me well for ducks this fall/winter. I was, however, hoping that I could mount a scope on it for Illinois shotgun deer season. I read this...

Not sure exactly where to post this. I suspect there's a product out there to do exactly what I want, but I've yet to find it (maybe the Google gods simply arent smiling down on me right now). I have an el cheapo 8 (long) gun safe. Problem is that the foam inserts that support the guns (so...

I purchased one last week, but due to an FFL snafu (bought it on Gunbroker) I wont be able to take possession until mid next week. Pics & review to follow. Those of you who own or have used the a300, what have been your feelings about it? I bought it to be a part time clays gun that can...
