I've seen photos of 2 sheaths clipped together using that. Never thought about hanging it on a shirt button.

It is. I've owned 3 different Marlin 45-70 dating back to the 1970's. I had a 1st year production 1895 right after Marlin reintroduced them in the early 70's. A standard 22" pistol gripped gun and a Guide gun. I sold the last one about 10 years ago. Black Powder equivalent 45-70 loads are...

If I were buying a new rifle and had to pick between the 2 I'd take the 6mm CM every time. If I had a 243 that I liked it would be a tough choice. It's not just bullet weight, but bullet length. A 100 gr hunting bullet will be a lot shorter than a 100 gr high BC target bullet. The longer...

I tried 3 different tube type dot sights on rifles and was never satisfied with them, granted none were high end. A Vortex SPARC was the most expensive. I have a Sig M18 with the cut for an optic and decided to try a bit better quality optic and bought a Holosun 507 for it. I found my...

Mounting a scope isn't rocket science and you don't need anything special. Learn how to do it yourself and adjust the scope for your best view.

I've owned a couple over the years. I don't dislike them and would carry one with confidence if I were issued one. But if I'm spending my own money for a handgun will buy something else. They are accurate, reliable pistols, just bigger than they need to be, and I never cared for the...

A prop gun made for Steve McQueen to use in "Wanted Dead or Alive". IMO they serve no useful purpose, but the guys who grew up watching the classic Western TV shows may want one just because.

If those are the same stocks Bergara puts on their rifles, then I'd pass. Especially at those prices. I've never been to their website and didn't know how much they were selling for before now. If they were about around $300-$400 I might be interested. They look good, they feel good, but...

Most people don't set out to go small game hunting with centerfire cartridges. Sometimes they take small game when the opportunity presents itself and a centerfire cartridge is all they have. Some people will down load a few cartridges to keep with them just in case the chance comes up...

For slugs the more open the better. Cylinder if you can get it, then IC. Modified can work, and full choke shouldn't be dangerous with soft lead foster type slugs. You want to avoid the extra full turkey tubes. Sabot slugs need cylinder and work best with rifled barrels. Buckshot depends on...

That's like saying a Browning X bolt is based on the Mauser 98. There are a lot of similarities, the profile looks similar at a distance. But they are different. I think their centerfire rifles are closer in looks anyway to the original Henry.

The nomenclature has changed over time. But I have two 1st gen M&P 45's. One is considered a Compact because it has a shorter grip and uses 8 round mags. Of course 10 or 14 round mags work equally well in it. The other is considered a full size since it has a longer grip and only takes 10 or...

The flat trigger gives you more leverage which makes the pull FEEL lighter. I have a couple of guns with flat triggers and don't see a HUGE difference. At the same time I don't see any downsides either. Not sure I'd pay money to swap triggers to get a flat one. But everything else being...

If you're talking about the stereotypical attempted mugging by a single bad guy, then a 5 shot J-Frame revolver with no reload is probably more than enough. I often pocket carry a Kel-Tec 380 which is 6+1. A spare mag for that is small enough to also slip in a pocket and I usually do so but...

A lot of chatter today about making Creedmoor cartridges in other calibers. I get the feeling that a lot of people don't understand what the 6.5 CM does and why. There isn't much need for a CM in 30 caliber. The 260 is the basis for the 6.5 CM. When the 260 was developed Remington...

IMO the 7-08 IS the 7 Creedmoor.

I'm not LE, but have been playing around with the Holosun dot sights on a few pistols for the last few months. IMO they will be standard issue on the guns in LE holsters in another decade. I like mine for HD or open carry, which I almost never do unless I'm out in the woods. At this point I...

I've seen it written as 45 calibers instead of 45 caliber. To me that is easier to decipher, but I'm not sure what is considered correct.

Not worth anywhere near that to me, but I'm glad they make such things and that some can afford them. I'd hope they would use it. I remember years ago when Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot another hunter there was some chatter about him hunting with a shotgun that cost 6 figures...

I really like my Tikka. I have a 4.5-14X42 Burris FF-II scope on it. It's not too heavy for hunting, but plenty accurate for the bench. 6 hits out of 8 shots at 250 yards. The bigger hit was from a 223 fired earlier. I'm out of elevation adjustment and have a mild wind blowing left to...
