    Vortex Vanquish BassPro Black Friday Scope?

    Need a scope, was going to buy the Vortex Crossfire II in 4x12x44mm, which comes with a 4" sunshade. It's $169 all the time. BP/Cabelas has a Vortex Vanquish 4x12x40mm, which reviews say is the Diamondback Tactical rebadged, for $150 Black Friday. Don't know if it comes with a sunshade, but...

    Remington Model 11 Experts, A5 Split Load Gate Retrofit?

    Gents, I have several of the humpbacks, two 1950's A5's 12s (Belgian), an A5 12mag (Japanese) and a old Model 11 in 12ga (1920's, safety inside the trigger guard). Shooting skeet, I use a A5 12ga w/ Mod bore (Belgian), but use the Model 11 from time to time as it has the CYL bore. But I...

    S&W 360PD w/.357 - wow!

    Ah, all this is true. The 360PD (and it's brother the MP340, which I have) are not fun to shoot at the range. Which is not why I have one. It's because it spends it life in my pocket, where I wouldn't carry something heavier (gun that you have being better than the gun you leave at home)...

    Can't decide if I like this 1894cp...

    Hi'ya gents, I've been hunting for a 1894 in .357 and recently tripped over one. Upon making the deal, I find this short-barreled thing with ports cut into it and a hood on the front sight. My initial thought was 'not what I'm looking for", but bought it anyway as the price was right and...

    Issue w/ Tactical Innovations TI25 mags for 10/22

    Update: Went and got the file... OK, so I read that link (thanks, BTW) and that seemed to be the same problem I was having. I called Tac Inn and they basically said they were unfamiliar with the issue. Then I bought a Butler Creek Steel Lips mag at Bass Pro, and saw that it presented the...

    Issue w/ Tactical Innovations TI25 mags for 10/22

    Gents, I recently ordered some TI25 poly mags from Tactical Innovations, due to everyone's high opinion of them. I can't seem to get them to feed. After closer inspection, the follower presents the bullet much steeper than the factory mags (see pic), resulting in the bolt gouging into the...

    Is anybody an expert on early Rem 760's (also 740 mag latches)?

    I've got a rifle, handed down from my father, that I'm looking to work on a bit. It's an early Remington 760 carbine, S/N 500XXX. No idea of the year. It has the solid, one-pc slide tube with the end cap pinned/preened on. Basically, you unscrew the slide tube to disassemble everything. No...

    Is this also true for the 1894 Marlin repro?

    Smith Mdl 10 & 15 values

    Just traded a pristine Model 10-5 for a Leupold VX-II 3x9 50mm scope and $50. Blued w/ original grips, 4" thin barrel, pinned. Scope was used, but in virtually new condtion. I'd price it at $275-$300 as is... So I guess I sold it for about $325 trade-value...

    Remington 742 .30-06, modified magazines, is it worth it

    I've got four of those steel aftermarket 10rounds, and I've found that they're a much better 8-round magazine than a 10. Once you put that ninth shell in there, they'll bind, jump out, and generally misbehave. Pretty dependable with 8 rounds or less, though... My experience...

    Updated on that T/C hunting peep...

    So I went ahead and ordered one from Midway. Got it, installed it (for reference, I used the original lower tang woodscrew and one of the included ones for the mid-position). Got it lined up with the original front/rear and removed the rear. Gotta' get some fill screws for the rear sight...

    Have you ever heard of a Zoli Z23?

    Thanks NRA UR2, that's about what I expected, just nice to have clarification...

    Have you ever heard of a Zoli Z23?

    One more little tidbit, it's an Angelo Zoli (not Antonio). Apparently, that reduces it's value quite a bit, but he's only asking $500...

    Have you ever heard of a Zoli Z23?

    I've heard of Zoli before, but never a model Z23... Fella says he has one, though, and wants $500 for it. Says it's never been shot. Your thoughts?

    Contemplating severe downsizing...

    I'll play... Although I drool over certain things as much as any, my practical side just won't let me buy something that'll sit in a safe for me to take out and look at every blue moon or so. Blame my upbringing (Mom a retired CPA...)... Here's my list (current) Handguns: Colt XSE LW...

    Old Revolver in the ceiling

    Actually, you _might_ have a real treasure. My wife's grandfather recently passed on and the family came to me with "his old pistol" for advice. They then proceeded to hand me a rather beatup 1858 Police Positive Conversion in .36 rimfire! Most of the nickle finish was long gone and the...

    Q's about T/C tang peep for a Hawken...

    Gents, Anybody on here mount a tang peep on their Hawken? I've got an older T/C with three screws in the tang, which I assume means it's tapped for one. If you've done this before, does the T/C tang peep come with mounting screws, so you can just back out the existing ones and screw in...
