Txhillbilly: I may be dumb but you are an *******. At least I can acknowledge my mistakes for the benefit of others. I have shot for 56 years and never found it necessary to berate another for admitting an error. gary

I can't answer specifically, but I once negligently fired a 3 shot group with .260 Rem ammo, through a .25-06. Similar in that .260 is based on the .308 case. I noticed nothing unusual until I checked the target and found a group over 3" from a sub moa rifle; and several inches from point of...

I am aware of no .44 mag firearm, rifle or handgun, that is not compatible with .429 bullets. Your friend sounds a bit mixed up, or perhaps his individual rifle was simply inaccurate. gary

Another vote for the Savage Rascal. I gave one to my 8 year old son a few months ago. It works great for him and he loves it, Nice trigger and very accurate. gary

If you were hunting elk exclusively, I might reccommend a .338 WM if you have a bit of experience with larger calibers. For all round use, the .30-06 stays at the top of the list. In the lower priced rifles, the Tikka is my choice for a light rifle and the Weatherby Vanguard for a heavier...

Savage Rascal .22 lr for my 9 year old. gary

My PSA blem also appears flawless, though I'm sure some could see what caused it to be listed as a blem. gary

The Leupold 1-4x Scout looks very nice on my GSR, and provides enough magnification to regularly shoot MOA. gary

The following information was in response to a inquiry by josquin of the Canadian Gun Nuts forum. It is from Roger P Williams, director of Webley and Scott. The first line refers to re tooling lost machinery "You are right, and their are no excuses except to say it is difficult to pick up from...

The Indian Webleys cost around $1300. The government has a monopoly on civilian sales and discourages gun ownership by overpricing. You can read many reviews at www.indiansforguns. They are generally reported to be of poor quality. gary

I have a Uberti repro of the SAA, along with my Webley's. Both among the greats. gary

In the days before anyone was concerned about the .45 acp in a Webley, I had a Mark V that I shot extensively with 230 gr hardball. It never gave me a problem. Respecting the current warnings about the potential problems, I shoot my MK VI .45acp with 200 gr lead target loads. More...

The manufacturer has stated within the last month that the Webley Fosberrys are beginning production and should be available in the US this year. We will see. Projected price was $800. Personally, I'm a bit more concerned about the quality of these than of something Webley will put their name...

A new Webley would have no more historical connection than any of the dozens of other popular reproductions of historical firearms. The British army found the .455's performance quite satisfactory for decades. Customizing, of course, would negate the whole purpose of this recreation...

I think they almost certainly would be made outside the UK, considering both their ban on handgun ownership and the fact that most Webley guns are now outsourced. I think they certainly will be exported to the US if made, as the largest world market for civilian handguns. gary

Has anyone heard that Webley is considering new production of the MK VI in .455 if sufficient interest is shown? Go to www.webley.co.uk and click on "click here for gunmakers". The MK VI is a great classic revolver and .455 ammo is produced by Hornady. Price is rumored to be about $1000...

In reply to DPriss, Clay Harvey entered the gun writer biz with the avowed intention of becoming rich and left it when it was clear that wouldn't happen. At a sagerat shoot here in Oregon (sponsored by Leupold), he proved incapable of hitting anything beyond 25 yards. He was in the habit of...

If you get a Cooper, you will never regret it. My .204 shoots .25 with factory ammo. Great workmanship and pretty wood. gary

These are both great rifles. I would lean towards the Weatherby simply because parts will be readily available whereas the 788 has been out of print for some years. Either would likely be very accurate and reliable. gary

Among the currently active, Boddington and Venturino are my favorites. Among the classics O'Connor, Skelton, and Keith were always interesting. Askins was fun to read too, but frequently wrote tongue in cheek. The only real dislike I have is for Clay Harvey who was a total phony, but was...
