    Finally giving in and buying an AR....suggestions?

    I'm looking at buying an AR primarily for personal defense around the house, and i'm a little overwhelmed at all the options available. I know I want one with a telescopic stock, and would like picatinny forend with some type of holographic or red dot sight for quick target acquisition. I'm...

    Business Histories of Winchester, Colt, Remington, etc?

    I'm almost done reading a book by Wayne Van Zwoll. Hunter's Guide to Long Range Shooting. It has great detail and information about long range shooting of course, but first it goes into pretty good historical information about Browning's life/business, Charles Newton, Remington, Winchester...

    300 BLK/ .300 Whisper for Feral Hogs?

    Does anyone have experience with the .300 BLK for pigs? I'm particularly interested in this round in an AR platform....and furthermore, on larger pigs. In addition, Iv'e heard the subsonic 300 whisper has better terminal ballistics on game than it would seem to on paper because they often tumble...

    I have a bipod on my 700....the only time I use it is at the range shooting prone. I anticipated using it on the hunt, but have yet to need it in that situation.

    Vetterli Ammunition

    They really are....unique action, mag, and cartridge combination too. I'm not planning on refinishing it, because i kind of like the worn look of the wood. I just got it this weekend, and God knows the last time it's been picked up....much less cleaned or oiled. I just wanna clean up all the...

    Vetterli Ammunition

    Metalguy, that's awesome! Mine's a little beat up....but considering it was manufactured shortly after the American Civil War, I guess I can understand. So for those of you who own one, or one of similar age, what precautions should I take when cleaning it? Are there any modern cleaning agents I...

    Vetterli Ammunition

    I've just been given what i believe to be a 1869/71 Vetterli Rifle. Iv'e done a little research on it, and apparently, 10.4 mm rimfire is not as common as it used to be. I'd like to shoot it for the simple fact of saying I have, and so I could show someone the ammo that was shot out of "that old...

    Enfield Rifle Value?

    I was over at a friend's house the other day when he showed me his 1917 Enfield rifle. It's marked GR SHT LE Mk III and made by the London Small Arms Co. (LSA). It's in pretty good shape with no obvious corrosion or rust. The only thing I noticed that seemed odd was a shortened forend (about...

    How well does the Hornady SST round work on deer?

    i shoot a 139 gr 7mm 08 hornady superformance sst. I killed a doe with it this past season and it performed very well. In my experience, it's an accurate round and is all i could have asked for for white-tails around here. The shot was at about 120 yds so the wound cavity wasn't overly large...

    Longshot, but does anyone know where to go hunting for hog near Austin Texas?

    I've heard there are two kinds of counties in texas....the counties that have 'em, and the ones that will soon. Ask around locally, i'm sure you could find a land owner that would love for you to get rid of some.

    shot placement for wild hogs?

    how far would a 100 or so lb hog run after a heart shot compared to a deer? about the same? I do plan to carry a side arm too but i want to have the hog to die as close to me as possible to reduce the possibility of running up on some live ones after dark.

    shot placement for wild hogs?

    I have an opportunity to go hog hunting with my dad on a guy's land we know. I know they are built a little different than deer, but I've looked at some anatomy pics online. If i kill one i'll probably want to do a skull mount on him, so where is the best non-headshot option? I thought about a...
