I had just looked at a new FN model 70 in 30-06 when I posted the question. After reading that they had bad wood I was a bit surprised by the one I looked at because it had pretty good wood, compared to the Remington's and Ruger's at least. It was not as nice as the Kimber's I've seen, but...

I am shopping for a new rifle that will see use on typical North American big game. I want to upgrade from my well used, and still very accurate, Savage 110 30-06. Primarily I want a rifle that is lighter and is more aesthetically pleasing. I am mostly looking at Kimbers and the new model 70...

the problem with forcing cones is worse with the carbon steel guns than with the stainless versions (65 & 66). i have both and shoot mostly magnums with no worries. i do try to stick to loads over 140 but have shot lots of 125's. keeping them clean is important and not just for carbon. shooting...

Smith & Wesson 65-3 with a 3" barrel, trigger job, and factory combat grips. hands down. Shoots GREAT and carries GREAT. it is my daily carry gun and one of my favorite to shoot. heck it may be my favorite period.

for me first there is a big difference with proportionality and balance between the frame sizes. a 4" K-frame just feels great, excellent balance, and for the frame size proportionally "right". same with the 6" N-frames (i've been told the the 5" is...

A few years back I went looking for a handgun for deer hunting for the same reasons that you are. I tried a 7 1/2" Super Redhawk in 44 mag and didn't like it. Reasonably accurate and built like a tank. However for me it was just to heavy, not well balanced, and just plain never felt right in...

I have 2 Galco dual position phoenix holsters, one for a 6" k-frame and one for a 4" N-frame and have been very happy with both of them.

Super Redhawk Ruger Super Redhawk 44 Mag 7 1/2 " barrel with a scope. The gun shot well enough and even had a decent trigger but... It had the balance and appeal of a 5 pound sledge hammer with a 12" handle. Traded it for a S&W 610 also with a scope. Its the ONLY handgun that I have ever...

S&W 45 Colt Mt. Gun I own a 625-7 Mt. Gun in 45 Colt and absolutely love it. I feel that it is one of the best woods carry gun/cartridge combos around. And In my opinion I feel that the 45 Colt is a better fit the N-frame smith than the 44 Mag especially if you reload. You have the option of...

While my heart wants my S&W model 13 or 625 in 45 Colt (or any number of a long list of revolvers) is has to be the Glock 20. Best combo of knockdown power, firepower, and reliability in a handgun bar none, and I am NOT a Glock fan in any way shape or form. Only drawback is ammo availability...

I have owned a 6" model 17-8 with the 10 shot aluminum cylinder for many years. It is a near constant companion when in the woods. Out of many handguns it is the one I shoot the most either in the field or at the range. It has seen untold thousands of rounds and is still just as tight and...

When I bought my first handgun I basically wanted what you are looking for, and for the same basic reasons. If you are willing to accept some compromises in one area or another I think there are a couple of handguns that come pretty close to what you are looking for. For me either a 10MM 1911...

357=Cop 44 Mag=BAD ASS COP For me it has nothing to do with a gun I own or have ever shot. It is an impression left with me as a kid in both cases. Even to this day when I hear or read .357 the first thing that comes to my mind is a cop. Not a detective but a patrolman: Blues, nightstick...

I love 1911's as much as the next guy, but for me it's a Smith and Wesson 625 45 Colt. It is the perfect balance between strength and size/usability. It'll take a solid 45 Colt load, which for my money is better than a 44 Mag and with less chamber pressure. Yet it is not so big, heavy, and...
