    What options for .22 short ONLY rifles?

    Browning FAQ- Nr. 77 What are some advantages of aluminum receivers? They are lighter, they do not rust and are very durable. http://www.saami.org/pubresources/cc_drawings/Rimfire/22%20Short%20-%2022%20Short%20CB%20-%2022%20Short%20Gallery.pdf

    What options for .22 short ONLY rifles?

    The absolutely correct twist is the least amount in order to stabilize the chosen projectile. In a short that's usually a 29 grain LRN. The consensus appears to be that the .22 s/l/lr rimfire is not fast enough for speed to be a factor in rifling.

    What options for .22 short ONLY rifles?

    Yes, CDNN has them at a premium over their LR version which currently is on sale at eighty clams cheaper and comes w/500 rnds of LR. The maple version is an additional 20 spot premium if you care for blonde. However, their Browning SA-22 short model still uses the 1:16" rifling of the LR...

    Rossi Circuit Court Judge (merged threads)

    Academy had this listed in the Sunday sales ad as everyday $469.99. On their websight they say that the smoothbore version will not fire 45 Colt. Have they disabled the ability for shooting a non-rifled bullet? Do they fear vilgilante hit men swarming the streets/drive-bys w/untraceable...

    What is .410 good for?

    Here come da judge, here come da judge. Rumor has it that Taurus, through their Rossi division, will chamber a true 36 gauge revolver known as, The Supreme Court Justice w/limited edition in 24 gauge known as, The Chief Justice. Also in the works is an alternating 44spl-44 gauge shotshell...

    What is .410 good for?

    I'll risk sounding somewhat elitist by saying the combo should be 28ga/22mag. Even Waly-World carries 28 gauge. My only apprehension in the 22mag is leaving out the short & CB that a LR chambering would offer. I love the short hp & CB for quiet plinkin'. You really gain no advantage in...

    Stevens 311 finish question

    I saw an old one from around '49 w/Tentite stocks and it was a blackish blue. If the wood was blond it's birch from mid 60s, I believe, to the end in '88. Except for the couple of years w/brittle plastic they were walnut. Some of the birch had walnut stain. I could be confusing the...

    20 gauge slug vs 30/30

    That's the nice thing about doubles, besides having two quick shots, they're easy to load/unload. However, I have a cheap, brand spankin' new, semi-20 that's itchin' for a niche. Dang Jason, I'm not sure I could handle the receiving end on that 3" 20ga. I'm thinking the Turkish Terror...

    20 gauge slug vs 30/30

    I don't propose the shotgun launching a slug is close to a rifle, hence my comparison to a pistol cartridge out of a carbine as opposed to a 30 caliber that was hot stuff towards the end of the 19th century. A wooden spear w/flint tip lashed to the end penetrated & provided venison before...

    20 gauge slug vs 30/30

    "Check Out Jeff Zimba from Small Arms Review, he tested 12ga from 7" to 30" barrels. With 2 3/4" Remington Sluggers, 22"-30" barrels were getting 1575ish FPS. The 18" barrel got 1425ish FPS.... Extra length in a shotgun does TWO things. Longer Sight radius, and extra weight. A properly choked...

    Stoeger Shotguns

    "After some polishing he came back to pick up the gun. Without touching it he asked if I wanted to buy it." Ay, there's the rub. Too many folks want to buy an entry level/budget firearm, expect it to run like a Singer, yet will do no prep work/polishing/lubing/field strip or clean. It's...

    Need some info on SxS Please

    Go to the gun show on the last day around 11:00 looking for one of many Stevens 311 in a 12 or 20 gauge. They were manufactured in the millions so finding a couple shouldn't pose a problem. If the 311 was made from 1965-88 then it'll be chambered for the 3" shell. Ask the price & no...

    How are Turkish made shotguns?

    I don't shoot that often and I was in the market for a budget O/U. I bought a Yildiz youth model. Aluminum receiver makes for a light gun, chrome 26" brls are durable, easy to clean and the furniture is nice.. It comes w/3 yr warranty by Briley should something go awry. 430 simoleons +...
