Mods please move if this is not the appropriate place... Any Highroaders care to give us a hand on the poll being conducted by the "Daily Telegraph" regarding an initiative by the Shooters and Fishers party in NSW to have target shooting included as an extra curricular activity in public...

Hi. Has anyone seen or shot the Tikka T3 Sporter that I just saw on Tikka's website ? I've been researching rifles in .260 and this one really grabs me for some reason.

Been a while since I looked at the Marlin Website and I noticed this. I've always wanted a stainless lever action in .357 and was considering a rossi, but this is the answer to my prayers...does anyone know if they are available yet ?

Hi everyone. As requested in this thread here is a quick range report of my new LTR in .308. Scope is Leupold VXIII 2.5-8X36 in leupold mounts. This pic shows the rifle next to my ruger RSI in .308. You can see how short the remington is. The LTR weighs more and has a much heavier barrel. It...

Hi. Today I was making some test .38 target loads which I'll be shooting out of a S&W model 627 .357 revolver. (5inch barrel) Specifically, 158gr SWC with PMC primers and AP50N powder in .38 cases. I just realized that .38S&W is different to .38 Special. The manual gives loads of 3.2gr...

I have a Lee Classic Turret Press which comes with a 4 hole turret. Up to now, I have been using it as a single stage press by removing the indexing rod until I built up confidence in reloading. Now I want to use it as a progressive press to reload pistol calibres however I only have the 3 die...

Hi everyone. Im seeking advice from the good folks of THR once again. I'm waiting for a Remington 700 LTR in .308 that I want to scope. The rifle is to be for hunting - pigs, goats - but will spend more time shooting paper at the range no doubt. I can't envisage ever using it at ranges greater...

I've started a new job (security) and have the choice of carrying either a revolver: S&W 686 4" (.357) or a semi-auto: glock 17 (9mm) at work. I like the revolver because it is simple and high-powered though I am highly dubious about my ability to reload under combat conditions. The glock...

What level of practice is neccessary to maintain and improve your shooting skills would you say ? What is the minimum ? At what point does the benefit start to be outweighed by other considerations such as time or money ? Of course there are many kinds of practice that don't involve...

While I was having a bit of a surf looking for information about SMLEs I found these rifles for sale - M10A3. http://www.lawranceordnance.com/new/rifle-m10.html Does anyone know anything about them ? Shoot with them ?

Sorry about another 'help me choose' thread....I've recently got my pistol license here after training for a while on the pistol club's .22s. I'm now in a position to buy a 9mm semi automatic. I've fairly well decided on a Beretta 92FS brigadier model (blued finish), but I'd like some...

Unfortunately we lost our pumpaction shotguns a few years ago. Yes - it's a shame - and it would be nice if the situation were different, but I hope to elicit some meaningful responses given the present reality here. I've been thinking about longarms for home defense (only) in a suburban...
