    K40 Kahr Covert

    I just picked up an all metal K40 Covert from a friend of mine. He bought it new in the box, fired several hundred rounds thru it and put it in the safe. He finally decided to sell it to me after a couple of years of pestering him. I love this little pistol. I have owned both K40 and MK40...

    Is the Savage factory synthetic stock worth using?

    I picked up a Savage Model 11 in .308 today. It has the black plastic looking stock, plastic trigger guard and the package rifle cheap rings and Simmons scope. I just ordered a metal trigger guard from Savage and the rings and scope are history as soon as I can get different ones. That brings...

    I finally got my 454 Ruger Super Redhawk setup recently. I installed a Wegand scope base with three magnum rings holding a Burris 2X Posilock scope. The grip is a coco bolo Hogue from their auction site. It is supposed to be a cosmetic second but I have yet to find the problem. Range sessions...

    Hunting/Field holster for Ruger SRH 454

    At one time (1980) I did quite a lot of hunting with a scoped 10" T/C Contender. I remember packing it in a T/C nylon holster that held it somewhat vertical or slightly diagonal across my chest. But I do remember having to pull up pretty high to draw the weapon. It was a comfortable setup. Fast...

    Kaboom in .40 Beretta

    I went shooting today with a friend from work. He has invited me on a hog hunt on his family's land in October so it seemed the least I could do to provide a place to sight in rifles. After a rather uneventful rifle shooting session he suggested shooting handguns. I was shooting some hot...

    LH Savage 110 .270 project finished

    Some time ago I was posting about a LH Savage 110 in .270 that I was working on. In the last steps of mounting the scope base I broke off a base screw in the receiver. I drilled a hole in the sheared off screw and tried to back it out with an E-Z Out. The E-Z Out broke off in the process! I was...

    Riddle of Steel 2005 rifle project

    I wanted to build a medium weight deer hunting rifle for all around deer hunting. I am left handed/left eyed so there are not many options on the used racks around here. I picked up a Savage 110 LH in .270 for $225.00 on Gun Broker. It appears to be lightly used and has a good bore. It...
