My Dad recently gifted me his Rem. 722 in .222 Remington. It was the first centerfire rifle I shot when a kid. I have a few questions for forum members who have these: 1. What is the rate of twist on the barrel? 2. Serial number is 3385xx. What year was it manufactured? 3. The loading...

There may not be a more provocative question in the U.S. than this one: What is the best elk cartridge? There are almost as many opinions on the matter as there are centerfire cartridges. After all, we have all seen/heard recommendations spanning the cartridge line-up from .243 Winchester to...

I have an HK VP9sk 9mm. What are good shoulder holsters or cross draw holsters for CCW?

A gunsmith recently recommended that any o/u I buy should have a name that begins with "B" - Browning, Beretta, or Benelli. Are there any other brands out there that are durable, reliable, and smacking of similar quality?

My 30-06 is a 52 year old Remington Model 700 BDL. It still shoots great. The current scope is an old Bushnell fixed 6x which has the dial-in post feature. I always liked the post for brush shooting, but it is off-center and not worth sending to Bushnell for repair, since the warranty is long...

How difficult is it to glass bed? I have never tried it for fear of creating a bigger problem if I mess it up.

Looking for some comparison data for these two competitors in the cup/draw bullet market. Most accurate: Best weight retention: Most resistant to core/jacket separation: Standard velocity cartridges. No magnums.

What are the pros and cons of the X-bolt? Under consideration is one in 30-06 for hunting deer to elk sized big game. Can you get a more substantial bolt handle?

What is your experience with these in 30 caliber 150 to 165 grain weights for accuracy and performance on deer sized game?

I have admired Beretta shotguns for years and would love to have one of their over/unders. But, am I alone in my disappointment with the stocks? When I shoulder one, the gun is pointing up in the air so much that it would shoot 3 feet high. And, the wood looks like low grade lumber. I cannot...

What is the difference between these two powders? Many years ago, when I hunted whitetails, I used IMR4064 with Hornady 150s with excellent results in my 30-06. Is Varget a good option? Is it one of the EXTREME series?

What years were the best model 70 Winchesters made? I bought one made in South Carolina (totally) before they shipped assembly overseas. It is a fabulous gun. Were any of the push-feed years good ones?

Browning alleges that the 725 feather is durable, even though the receiver is alloy, because the hinge and the breech face are still steel. Does anyone have any durability data on these light shotguns? I am considering a 12 gauge 26 inch feather for bird hunting, but I will shoot clays with it...

I recently purchased a slightly used HK VP9SK at my LGS for a song. I cleaned it well and lubed it appropriately. Today, I shot Winchester white box 115 grain ammo, Winchester NATO 9mm 124 grain ammo, Winchester USA Defense 124 grain +P, and some old Remington Golden Saber 124 grain +P loads...

Getting ready to buy one of these for concealed carry. I recently moved to the Gulf Coast, where heat and humidity are almost year round, which will likely dictate carrying inside the waistband most of the time. Is the sk version that much more concealable than the regular sized P30?

I recently moved to the Gulf Coast area of the country. My new house does not have a basement, like my former residence several states away, so I lost my reloading room. Setting up a reloading area in the garage seems foolish due to the heat and humidity most of the year. It appears I will...

Which do you prefer and why? 725 field, Citori Hunter, or Cynergy CX? 12 guage shooting 1-1/8 field loads.

I am moving to the south. My reloading powder poses a problem with the hot weather. What do you suggest.

While I have never been a great wing or clay bird shooter, I understand that I am not supposed to be looking down the barrel when moving the gun toward the target. I have watched the You Tube videos where this is explained, and I seem to shoot my best trap scores when I follow this advice...

OK folks, I need some recommendations. Last year, a neighbor got me into shooting on his trap team. I bought a Browning 725 Trap with 30 inch barrels and had it custom fitted. I love it. I shoot half decently after only two seasons and plan to continue improving. Now, I want an O/U for...
