Still has the steel butt plate. I'm not sure about the refinish on the stock. Sasq.

I am thinking of selling a pre 64 model 70 in .270 W.C.F. It is a transition grade from the pre-war model 70 to the more common pre-64. It is in decent shape with original parts. Any ideas?? thanks. Sasq.

Ammo is hard to find I can't find much in the way of 22 LR ammo. I have been stocking up for the past year or so but now all the local shops including Walmart are sold out. The owner of a local shop told me that he has no idea when he will be able to restock because the powder and primer...

I am looking at the Tipton Best Gun Vise for a Christmas gift for my dad. I am curious if anyone here has used one or if they would recommend a different one. It has some good reviews across the board. I looked at some cheaper ones but they seem to always have some bad reviews about how they...

I see both sides of the story I can see where some people would use the clip as a target to spot someone carrying. I actually have had a couple of people (friends and students of mine) ask me about the knives that am carrying. I like to carry a knife with a clip on it. I actually carry a...

If you are travelling overseas (and domestically in many metropolitan areas), an umbrella doesn't draw extra attention. I haven't ponied up the dough for one of these but if you are interested in an umbrella over a walking stick check out http://www.real-self-defense.com/umbrella.html I...

I know I shot a single shot 22 when I was four. I have confirmed this with my dad. I remember as if it happened this afternoon. It was one of the last times I had with my grandfather and I treasure it greatly.

I was just curious about this. I would agree that the triggers tend to be mushy on these. I can live with the mush to some extent. I would say that some are better than others. I like the trigger on the XD better than the Glock (I have shot both before anyone questions this). It is simply...

Getting in shape is helpful for shooting even beyond bugging out or self defense. When I shot competitively, I worked out to be able to have a more stable platform for shooting from. The core muscles of the body are important to focus on. We did lots of situps, pushups and squats for...

I don't understand why people talk about how they don't like striker fired pistols. I have read guys saying that they will only shoot guns with a hammer and others swear they will never like a striker fired gun. I have shot rifles for years and (unless I am mistaken) most bolt rifles would...

I can hit a can provided it's big enough. Something akin to a 55 gallon drum at 15 paces (short) is about right. :D

Another vote for the single six. I have taken all kinds of small game with it including a turkey (LEGAL HERE before people jump on that). I have the 6" stainless and carry it all the time when I am deer and elk hunting for grouse and other assorted necessities that might arise.

Treo, You asked what are these people thinking? I have been thinking about this question for some time prior to your posting this question on THR. The problem, as I see it, has been brewing for quite some time. The sense of entitlement that seems to be prevalent in todays society seems...

Thank you for all the thoughts. I was wondering about this because I must say that I felt completely impaired this week. I am still mulling this over in my mind about how I should proceed when I am in this state of affairs.

I just spent the last week being sick and was wondering if people carry while they are sick. I am wondering because I was so out of it for the week. I was puking my guts out and couldn't stray far from a bathroom. What do you think?

I was out shooting a Thanksgiving day match (Cold day) at the outdoor range. Everyone was shooting out of the shed and staying warm around the heater. A guy showed up to shoot the match and he was bragging that he was going to shoot the match with one cartridge case. He then proceeded to take...

You might not believe this but I'm gonna tell you anyway. I shot a ragged one hole group going at 25 yards. My shooting partner wasn't impressed, he has seen it from me hundreds if not thousands of times. I stopped to admire my group and revel in the moment. I must have been taking too much...

Thanks aka108. I will try a brad filed off square to punch out the pin. Lovesbeer, I had not thought about upgrading. I have been happy with the stock ruger factory adjustable. What is so much better about the Bowen? I know I am showing my ignorance here, please indulge me.

If he is open to wearing a vest, Google "wyoming traders wool western vest" and you will see several options come up. These are available in both canvas and wool and are simple to wear in warm and cool weather. Someone did point out that vests only work in some parts of the country. It...

I dropped my GP 100 on the concrete driveway this weekend. I know, I'm dumb. I have no excuse other than I just dropped it. It hit on the rear sight right side. It bent the blade a bit and crushed the sight down. I am planning on ordering a replacement from Ruger but in looking at the...
