    Low Power Optic: Weaver V3 vs. Leupold VX1 vs. VX2

    Hi everyone, Looking for a low power optic for my Marlin 336 30/30. I've got it narrowed to the Weaver V3 1-3x, Leupold VX1 or one of the VX2 flavors in 1-4x. Price wise the Weaver is the best deal, but not sure on the optic quality and eyebox compared to the higher priced Leupolds. Not...

    Ruger LC9 - Case stuck and slide won't come back

    Hello, My neighbor came over a bit ago and has a newish Ruger LC9. He has a spent case stuck in the chamber and we can't get the slide to come back. I tried pushing the front of the gun on some hard rubber and even tried a piece of wood dowel down the barrel into the case and tapping with a...

    Savage DBM

    I recently got a Savage 111 HT XP in 300WM. I got this over the Stevens b/c I like the Accu-Trigger and factory metal DBM that came on my LRP .260. So I was surprised when the rifle came and the DBM on the 111 was plastic (trigger guard too). Does anyone know if Savage makes a factory metal...

    Savage Accu-Stock - how does it feel?

    Kind of a dumb question but I can't find a local shop that has a Savage with an Accu-stock. I'm look at a model online that has the accu-stock but not sure how the stock feels in hand. Not really concerned with the grip angle, as it looks like all the standard sporter stocks I've had in the...

    Want a DA 45LC or should I settle for the 44Mag?

    I already reload for my SA 45LC and like the low pressures the LC produces. I would like to stick with a S&W but I know they are limited to the M25 and Mountain Gun (if you can find either). I'd love it if they made a 5" full lug like the 629, but they don't. My other option is to get a 629...

    Powder and Primer recommendation for 357Mag and 45LC (Possibly 44Mag)

    I try to keep my powders to a minimum and use WIN231 for most of my handgun reloading. I want to take my 357 mag S&W and 45LC Ruger Blackhawk up to some heavier loads using 158gr XTPs in the 357 and 250gr (if I can find any) or 300gr XTPs in the 45LC, and getting some higher velocities with...

    Picked up my first DA revolver today!

    Been looking for a long time for the right DA. Just happened to get an email from an online store with updates of there new "used" guns. As I scrolled down I found the "one".. I clicked the link and added to cart. The price was too good to be true (In my opinion). Arrived at my local shop...

    Found a like new S&W 65-6 Lady Smith and want to get a nice CCW OWB holster, what have you tried and liked/disliked. Something I can get readily online or off the shelf that is leather and suede lined. Don't feel like waiting a year for a Sparks or alike.. at least not yet. Cheers, Hawk

    Remington 700P vs Sendero Barrels

    Looking to pick up a new rifle and am looking at two Remingtons in the mix. I know the difference in the 5R models, but wasn't sure of the difference between the Sendero vs 700P models other than cosmetics (finish,length,etc). Is one a better quality than the other? Thanks, Hawk

    Beyond 1000yds (ELR Rifle)

    Looking to get into ELR shooting at targets (steel/paper) past 1000yds. So many calibers out there and think I have it down to 7MM Rem Mag (or 7mmWSM) or the good ol' 300WM. I've gone back and forth so much on caliber selection but feel that with a Remington platform these will be more than...

    Reliability/Durability: Custom bolt stand up against Accuracy Internantional?

    I've decided to put all my eggs in one basket and go with one system after years of shooting various rifles/calibers. I'm going with the standard .308 platform (not part of the discussion). The most important thing to me in the platform I go with will be reliability/durability. I know the...

    45LC - Anyone use 200gr LSWC?

    I have about 1000 200gr LSWC around I use in my .45ACP for practice. Just got a 45LC (Ruger) and was wondering how the 200gr LSWC does? Most everything I see recommends 250gr LRN. Will use with WIN231 since I have pounds of it for my other handgun cartridges. Thanks, Hawk

    Tikka owners.. need your help.

    I just got my first Tikka in .223 and want to use longer bullets than the stock magazine allows (2.280" max). I was looking into other bottom metal that uses AICS or Morta mags but that's a good bit of cash. I was wondering if a .308 size mag would work? Only thing I think would be...

    Tikka T3 Varmint

    So I was looking for a sporter rifle but after more thinking, I'll be using this more at the range than on long hunting trips in the mountains and the heavier barrel may be a better and more enjoyable choice for the mostly range trips. I'll just have to deal with the extra weight or get another...

    Lightweight, Quality Bolt Rifle Suggestions..

    Now that that G4 Glock 17 is out are you still able to order the G3 version (I would guess while supplies last)?

    Upgrading press from Lee Pro1000... Which?

    I've been reloading for about 10 years now. I finally got into a new shooting club just down the road from my house so I am going to be able to go shooting ALOT more (no more 1hr drives each way) and want to upgrade my reloading setup. I started on a single stage RCBS RockChucker (which I...

    Thinking of getting a new 9mm for range/target work.. what to get?

    I've got several 9's right now and like them all but got the urge to pick up another one. This will be a range gun and maybe try in some matches. I perfer longer barrels for range/target work. I have two Glocks (26,19) so I'm proficient with the platform and they point fine for me. I have...

    First Revolver: S&W 625 .45 or Ruger GP100 .357?

    Looking to pick up my first double action revolver. I am looking at either going with a S&W 625 in .45ACP or a Ruger GP100 in .357. I'll probably stick with a 4"-5" barrel depending on the gun. I was thinking of the 625 as I have several .45ACP semi-auto's that I already handload. If I go...

    Sig Mosquito or .22 Conversion Kit for 226?

    Never held the Sig Mosquito, but do have a 226. Was looking to go .22 cal for practice and both are about the same price. Does the Mosquito weigh as much as the 226 with the conversion kit? I'd like to keep it as realistic as possible. Thanks, John
