Bag is packed, camo is on, just waiting on my ride, and headed out for opening day of rifle season here in Maine. :) Hopefully I will have some pics to post this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Heading back out this weekend to a few spots that I have previously scouted. Would like some ideas on homemade tree stands. Small, simple, and the cheaper the better. Not looking to build a long term setup. just something for this rifle season (well, if I have any luck maybe next year too)...

Just read this. Sunday the 25th at two pm. Preble street. http://www.wgme.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wgme_vid_3291.shtml Thought I'd share JM

"In the 1980s and '90s, as the concealed-carry movement gained steam, Americans were killed by others with guns at the rate of about 5.66 per 100,000 population. In this decade, the rate has fallen to just over 4.07 per 100,000, a 28 percent drop. The decline follows a fivefold increase in the...

Yet another new shooter and future High Roader is born. My wife delivered a healthy baby girl at 9:54 this morning.:D Paige MacAlpine, born at home, 8lbs even, 20 inches long. Daddy and her big brother Elliot are so proud. I suddenly want to buy a pink Cricket MODs: I know I am off...

Towards the end of their Thanksgiving visit, after pie and whatnot, I gave my mom a hug. I was carefull to put my arm low, so she'd have to hug me high, but as we let go she ran her hand down my back and felt the pistol in my waistband. i was carrying a full size PT-92 9mm IWB @ about 4...

I recently got a Win Mod 70 xtr Featherweight. Is it possible to have a smith add irons to this rifle? or is there not enough metal in that narrow tapered barrel? Thanks. JM

I hunted last year for the first time (whitetail) with a borrowed Win 94 Lever gun. Didn't have any luck, but sure enjoyed it. I knew I needed a rifle of my own for this season, and I have been looking around a bit. Went down to a sale at the Kittery Trading Post (for those who may know...

I posted a few days back regarding which caliber to choose (between .270 and .30-06) for a first deer rifle. I was asking because a local shop had an advertised sale price of $269.95 on a new Marlin XL7. The responses here convinced me that I was right in thinking about the 06 for a first...

So a local outdoor store sent out a mailer last week touting a big sale during the week after labor day. I have been looking for a hunting rifle (my first) and they are advertising the Marlin XL7(synthetic/Blued) for $269.95 Good price for a good starter rifle (from everything i have read) and...

Took a little longer than the thirty days mandated by law, but it is here.:D Been carrying around town for the past two days. I am surprisingly comfortable with it. I thought I would be more nervous. Anyway, thought I'd share. I am headed out now for the obligatory Wally World Walk.

Ok. So I picked up a gently used Taurus 24/7 Pro on Friday. Stainless, 4" barrel. At the store I checked it out and everything seemed to work fine. With an empty mag inserted the slide would lock back. It took me the better part of the weekend to find any ammo to feed the thing:fire::cuss...

One of these for sale locally. It is 45 ACP. Condition is about 95% (holster wear) unsure of round count. I have been looking for a carry gun, and I am wondering what folks who might be carrying one think of them. Please don't start debating the merits of Taurus in general. I already have...

An editorial from the Washington Times. Sorry if this has already been posted. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/13/39we-want-them-registered39/ Well done editorial, if you ask me. Which you didn't.

There is a local fellow asking $275 for a Winchester'94 AE. Is that a pretty good price as far as you know?

I am a frequent browser, but an infrequent poster. That said, I love this site and I really appreciate the ideas and conversation that bounce around here on THR. No one in my immediate circle of family or friends is particularly interested in firearms or RTKBA issues, so I thought Id share...

hello all, I recently cracked the birch factory stock on my 10/22 Carbine. Methinks it is an opportune time to upgrade a bit, and I was thinking about a synthetic stock/bull barrel combo package. Really just a plinking and small critter gun, so I dont want to spend too much. Say $150-200...

I was just watching some video of the infamous 1997 BoA robbery in North Hollywood, CA. Anybody have any info on whether those were NFA registerd AK's that the two guys used? were they stolen, illegally transfered, or illegally modded? Just wondering. Seems like one of the only, if not the...

Hi all, I am a newbie here, and a newbie deer hunter. got ten days left to fill my tag for this season (only one per year here in Maine, and it must be a buck, unless you win the lottery for an antlerless deer). Anyway, i am currently using a Winchester 94 in 30-30 which i borrowed from a...
