Gotta love the line from the former Spetnaz regarding the AK as he says with a smile, " it isn't a prom queen more like a biker chick". A wonderfully simple and elegant statement that sums it up perfectly much like the AK.

Didn't the military recently test a bunch of rifles and the latest and greatest M4 incarnation come in last in reliability again.Of course its an American designed and until recently fully manufactured weapon. Got to be good right. Don t worry the Chinese will be making them soon anyway.

So let me get this straight. You ask for advice but only want comments that reinforce your preconcieved notions. You cant even hunt deer in this state with a .220 Swift and for good reason. A .17HMR, give me a break.

Got one just like it with a Leopold 2.5 X fixed power scope. I took the irons off mine because with the low power scope they were somewhat of a distraction. I shoot Garrett 420 grain Hammerheads and it makes for a pretty potent setup on both ends even with the ported barrel. The idea was to use...

I recently sold a very nice Python. Man what a dumb ass. Its one of those things that if I could go back in time and change I would. If it were me I wouldnt even consider selling it. I have a few like that that I have deep regerts selling, like a nice Freedom Arms .454 for example. Time to...

If you are going to be backpacking in the mountains I would travel light and bring extra water. This is not the Alaska coastal range so your chances of being attacked by a bear are slim and none. Same goes for moutain lions, wolves, coyotes etc. If you are intent on packing a pistol I would...

Rhom Emanual's federal gun registration bill that was defeated last year has just been reintroduced. And so it begins.

If I was looking for a dedicated deer rifle it would be hard to beat a 270 win, a perfect match. To my mind brown bears start at .338 win mag and go up. Its one thing to sit in the comfort of your home sipping a cold one talking about what calibers do what but if you should ever find yourself on...

Remington 700 and its sewer pipe action. Is it possible to build it cheaper and sell it for more? 50 cal so called sniper rifles, the other extreme of the 5.56. Cz 527's Ive had 3 and had to fiddle with each of them to get them to shoot and the actions still dont realize they are supposed to...

If you are after copper Sweets 7.62 is hard to beat but you will have to chase it with something else for powder fouling.

The Hornet and Ruger 77 makes for a great little combo. As has been noted accuracy can be variable with these but there is a guy who reworks them for not a lot of money and turns them into really nice little shooters. My thoughts on the Hornet are to just enjoy the cartridge the way it is, its...

At one time or another Ive tried about all of them. I now use Mobile One. Firearm lubrication is really pretty basic and we tend to make a bigger deal out of it then it really is. Compared to many mechanical devices they are really pretty simple to lubricate.

Hey Nightwing. Darrel who owns Bait and Bullet is a different kind of guy sort of a Grizzly Adams type. You have to go in there a few times but once you get to know him and develop a relationship hes a lot of fun with a good sense of humor. His prices are not the lowest thats true and his...

Sure you can buy the cheap .22lr and plink all day long without spending a lot. Once you make the jump to high quality .22lr ammo however the price gap between the others narrows.

A lot of people don't like the ending to this movie and I can see why. Its not the typical Hollywood ending were the bad guys get it in the end and our hero goes off into the sunset and lives happily ever after. At first I was a little put off with the ending as well but after watching it a...

Yes well our turn is coming sooner than you think then we will all get a chance to step up to the plate.

Well there is a little scenery west of Denver, problem is you cant get to it because I 70 is clogged with traffic - ski traffic in the winter and tourists in the summer, construction and gambling all year. Once you do make it up there expect lots of Walmarts, ski run and condo development, land...

Anything Remington especially the 700. The action looks like a piece of polished sewer pipe the stock lines of the BDL with the bowling pin finish is the firearms equivalent of an Edsel. Could Remington make these things any cheaper and charge more? Its the bolt action equivalent of a WASR...

Why the mass exodus from California? You guys have arguably the most beautiful state in the union. Stay put and fix the problems that make you want to leave. If you feel like you have had enough and just have to get out remember why you left in the first place and don't import the same problems...

I like the 45/70. You can get some +p loads that really transform the firearm. In fact I would be willing to take on a Cape Buffalo with my 1895 guide gun using Garrett loads and an alert PH as backup. These Garrett loads are real thumpers using a heavy powder charge and hard cast solid bullets...
