    Anyone seen Article???

    Dave, I see this is your first post. Welcome to the forum! I didn't see the article, however, I want to. Thanks for the heads up. I love squirrel hunting and have considered trying an air rifle. I'll find the magazine you mentioned this weekend and read up. Thanks again!

    7mm-08

    Though not bad, the .308 has about double the recoil of a .243. The 7mm-08 falls nearly in the middle. Check out this site: http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm

    The best $50 I ever spent

    You did well to hang in there and look it over. Your rifle should feel loved and cherished. ;) I can relate sort of. I had a Sako rifle in .270 Win for many years that I had scraped and saved up to buy when I was young (early 80s) and poor. In my case though, I was burglarized later on and...

    Never thought it would come to this, but need something Lighter for SmartCarry CCW

    If you give up some firepower, you might consider something from North American Arms. Here is their web site: http://www.naaminis.com/ and here is a direct link to one of their mini revolvers: http://www.naaminis.com/lrifle.html There is no question that some of the NAA products are...

    Old Remington 788 .243 balistics Chart?

    You can go to this link: http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/ Once there, you can select .243 from a drop down list. Then you will get a list of Remington's loadings to select from. Pick the 100 grain loading you have and you will have ballistics that should be close to...

    What is your most faithful pistol?

    My Sig 230 is my old standby. We have a long summer here with lots of t-shirt days and I can slip my Sig 230 into my waistband quicky anytime I'm headed out for a quick trip. It has never failed at the range.

    Ghost ring sights

    I've often wondered about ghost ring sights on pistols because I like peep sights on rifles. I would like to try this. Seema like the rear sight would have to be even larger for a fast alignment. Any ideas about who sells ghost ring sights that would go on most 1911s or on Sigs? Thanks...

    Sig P228 vs Glock 19

    I say the Sig because I like it better (have two of them) and because it is priced better. If you find yourself leaning towards the Glock for some reason, you need to negotiate the price down some or find another one. Are you fairly new to pistols? If so, do you have any friends with...

    Ruger 1911 coming soon??

    Just speculating -- Ruger's customer service reps could be kept in the dark about development. Or if not in the dark, they could be told to say nothing about what is in development.

    Ruger 1911 coming soon??

    I've been wondering for years if Ruger would develop a 1911 offering. This could be interesting indeed.

    Sig P228 Franken Guns his the shores...

    You are obviously a big Sig fan for sure! I too love the Sig 228. I bought one in 1993 and loved it so much that I bought a second one in 1995. Thanks for passing along this information.

    nonresident handgun in az?

    Sure you can. However, you can't take possession in Arizona. If you are physically in AZ, you can pay and then have it shipped to a FFL in ND. If you are in ND, you just make your payment by CC, MO, or whatever and then have it shipped to your ND FFL. You would need to arrange the deal with...

    I'm trying to learn how to hunt. Can you help?

    In addition to the suggestions above, consider subscribing to a couple of hunting magazines for a year or two. Petersen's Hunting, Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and several others provide interesting hunting articles every month.

    Canadian folk singer killed by coyotes

    This is a very sad story for sure. The lack of similar attacks makes it clear how rare this is. I'll be curious to see if the authorities find anything at all to explain the attack other than it just being a one-time (let's hope so) incident.

    top 10 greatest cartridges ever

    Overall, not too bad for a list of 10. I do agree with most of the objections already noted above. If you surveyed 10 firearms experts and/or famous writers and asked them for their list, I doubt any two would be the same. However, there are probably 4 - 7 cartridges that would be on most...
