    What's your favorite pistol scope?

    I would toss in "environmental conditions" on the discussion over tube and reflex sights. The reflex emitters are open to the elements and "could" be obscured or refracted by snow or rain. Tubes are sealed from the elements. Both are subject to build-up of their glass. I have a Millet SP1 on my...

    Shipping Firearms

    I need to vent! My dealer shipped a rifle for me via UPS and it arrived, but not in the same condition that it was shipped. The condition that was explained to me was: "it looks like the box was dragged down the highway." This is the second oops from UPS that has directly affected me. I won...

    Feedback on New Business Idea

    I am working on my business degree and must write a business plan for one of my courses. We have the freedom to dream up any business, so I decided to make mine firearms related. Would appreciate everyone's response on the "rough" plan and whether there would be a niche market for the business...

    Winchester 94 Opinions, Please

    Considering the purchsae of a Winchester 94 in either the Legacy or Trails End model. Either way, planning on 44magnum for the caliber. Any opinions on these models and caliber? Debating if the Legacy's 24" barrel is too long at 24" and I'll start robbing velocity from the bullet. Planned...

    Some Stupid 1911 Questions

    One more addition Agree that 1911Tuner gave an excellent description. One addition to the "A1" momdifications: The A1 also introduced the arched mainspring housing. From the trenches of WWI, a common complaint returned that the pistols shot low when point-shooting in close combat. The...

    H&R Building 870 Clone Shotty!

    Held One at Gander Mountain I saw my first H&R pump about a month ago at Gander Mountain. Overall, looked like a nice pump except for the "Made in China" stamp. They sold that one, but have a second one in stock now. Both had/have nice wood. Much better than the comparable Rem 870. But is...

    Good Choice? Browning Gold Hunter?

    Thank You Appreciate the feedback. It seems like a very nice shotgun. Looking forward to my first trip out to the range/field. Eventually want to get a 20ga semi-auto for my spouse (and me too:) ). If all goes well with the Gold, I may become a two Browning owner. Thanks again.

    Good Choice? Browning Gold Hunter?

    Decided to upgrade my semi-auto shotgun from my Winchester 1400 and finally ended up buying a Browning Gold Hunter 3". The majority of the feedback I received in the decision process was "get a Benelli". The deal I got on the Browning jyst seemed too sweet to pass up. I have read the feedback...

    Winchester 94?

    Good Feedback on Trails End I was looking at the Trails End in 45LC when I bought the 1892. I didn't have any stove pipe issues with the Navy Arms 1892. I had a few cases with dings in the case lip, but didn't have the rifle long enough to determine the cause. Since I am now outfitted to...

    7mm-08???

    Thank you for the feedback I am considering adding a Varmint rifle to the collection and started by debating calibers. I have been weighing the advantages and ddisadvantages of the "apparent" standards, 220 Swift, 22-250, 223, 243, and 308. I noticed Weatherby offers one of their Varmint...

    I want a 10mm, but which one?

    Colt or S&W Being afflicted with the 10mm disease, I would have to recommend the Colt Delta Elite first. Very nice pistols with plenty of options for improvement with the proven 1911 design. Dan Wesson is also reported to be making the Patriot in 10mm for 2004. That would be a nice gun...

    7mm-08???

    My varmint cartridge post generated a vote for 7mm-08. Thought I'd throw out a post for some feedback on this round. My knowledge on 7mm-08 (please fill in the holes and add opinions): Based on a necked down 308 case. Strong sell for a youth deer rifle. Seems to lag 243 and 308 as a...

    Winchester 94?

    1892 replicas Haven't owned a Winchester 94 yet, but recently sold a Navy Arms (Rossi-built) 1892 SS Rifle in 44-40. I was considering Cowboy Action Shooting, which lead to my purchase of the 1892. From the information I gathered, there were mixed reports on the reliability of the Winchester...

    Is $450 too much for a 1076?

    Get It IMHO if you can handle it and look it over before purchasing, it's worth the few extra $$$ over an unseen cheaper gun. I once owned a 1076 and wish I still had it. Got the urge for a new gun and sacrificed the 1076. It was recently replaced it with a 1066. I know their are some law...

    223, 22-250, 243, or 308

    Rifle Prices The best deals locally are amazingly on 223 Savages and Winchesters. One shop does have a nice Remington 700 VLS in 243 that caught my eye. Price: $599....average? The Savage 12FV in 223 is $399 and the Winchester Coyote in 223 is $499. From a cost point, you may see why I am...

    223, 22-250, 243, or 308

    Looking at getting my first varmint/long range rifle. What caliber option is the best??? I'm leaning towards 243, mainly because I'm already set up to reload this caliber. Main targets for the near term future will be Ground Hog and paper up to 300yds. Would like to have the ability to...

    What 45 for bullseye?

    SW1911? DW Patriot? Colt XSE? In that price range, why not a SW1911, or DW Patriot, or Colt XSE? All review very well according to the gun rags. I reviewed all my old mags on the initial tests of the Smith & Wesson SW1911 and majority reported accuracy in the 1"-2" range for 25 yards. That...
