    All-Purpose Rifle Review

    Is that "quiet for a muzzle brake" or truly quiet? I have to occasionally shoot without muffs, and the muzzle brakes I've been around would not be good for that at all. Have you ever shot yours without "ears?"

    Budget home defense rifle

    Unless she is a very large woman or has experience with shotguns, I say avoid them if possible. A defense gun must be familiar, and a bad first experience with a hard kicking budget pump which will not come out of the box fitting her AT ALL might turn her off. Get her a youth model automatic...

    All-Purpose Rifle Review

    35, those are awesome guns. That's exactly what I would be shooting of only they had made a few left handed ones. Stripper clips are unarguably cool. And old guns are just solid compared to today's offerings. What do you say about the forward mounted scope in low light? I have heard it...

    All-Purpose Rifle Review

    The Rifle: I ordered a left handed Savage “hunter” series when Bud’s was blowing out the last of the stagger feed models. I got good deal, but apparently they sold the last of them right as I was placing my order, because they sent me one of the new models. They did it without asking, but I...

    All-Purpose Rifle Review

    This thread is meant to be kind of half equipment review, half “lessons learned,” regarding the “all-purpose” rifle I have been living with for the last year-and-a-half. Hopefully someone out on THR gets some use from it. History: After a long spell of being without a centerfire rifle, and...

    Legit 1" groups

    Cal30, would you add a 4-moa rifle curve next time you post one of those charts? I can't shoot that well (10 moa from standing unsupported is what we are working with here, not 3 (who are you people?) and would like to know just how crappy of equipment I can practice with and still trust that...

    Savage Accuracy fact or myth?

    I bought a left-handed 11F in 308 when buds was selling the last of last years models off really cheap. It strung really bad--from the first shot. I had the local guy cut the barrel down to 17 inches, and it shoots the lights out now. One moa with BROWN BEAR. Loud though. Light as a feather...

    AR15 & cross eye dominance

    Rexster is right. Pistols with the strong hand/strong eye, rifles with the weak hand/strong eye. It took me one range session to learn to pull the trigger on my 22 rifle with my left hand. And I have always just tipped my head to the side a bit to sight a handgun with the correct (left)...

    22 rimfire rifle scope recommendations

    I believe less magnification is more when it comes to scopes for a 22. A scope on a gun you might want to grab to shoot a snake in the yard at 10 paces needs to turn down to 2X or less, in my opinion. If it's just for longer shots specifically, why not keep the 3-9? Maybe a red dot, even...

    Hollowpointer Modified .22 Ammo Range Report

    Not to derail here, but I am also interested in the rifle, especially since it is available in a left-hand configuration. How does it shoot in general? How is it bedded (if at all)? How does it fit the adult male frame? How much are mags? Etc.

    25-06 and whitetails?

    My father-in-law has killed several deer and hogs with the Hornady 117 grn. SST, all DRT.

    Hollowpointer Modified .22 Ammo Range Report

    Is there not a chance the bullet will actually be seated deeper--possibly causing overpressure issues?

    Deer Rounds

    You guys can't be serious. The laws in this country are so numerous that no human can even know them all--and game laws are often the most arbitrary of them all. Conversely, any 13-year old knows right and wrong. I thought we were talking about bullets anyway. A heart/lung shot is a...

    Winchester Xperts .22 ammo ??

    I have found the Xperts (and any and all Remington) to be crap in both my Marlin Model 60 and my 452. I like CCI best (if there's a more accurate round than a mini-mag in my CZ, I don't shoot well enough to be able to tell) and shoot Federal bulk most. I need to try that 333.

    Which CZ 452 rings?

    Take it from a lefty shooter who had to buy the "American" model because that's all CZ offers as a left-handed model: It is a SIN to scope that rifle.

    Tikka T3 Hunter .25-06

    Care to elaborate on this theory? Remember that a significant percentage of the plastic in question is probably actually glass. Unless you are a materials engineer or something I think you should give the Swedes a break. Take my 1911, for instance. It has an aluminum frame. Since aluminum...

    Offhand shooting: What's considered "good?"

    Unfortunately there isn't a club anywhere around here. BTW, seated and slung I can hit 5 for 5. I like the idea of sweeping the reticle over the target. I imagine a controlled motion could take your focus off the "dance."

    Offhand shooting: What's considered "good?"

    Sorry--I am talking about a .22 rifle. I've never shot a handgun with a scope either.
