For those of you using the .243 Winchester how many of you have tried the Winchester Power Points? This is my first "small" center fire rifle. I was thinking of using premium bullets but ran into a fella who has hunted southern Arizona his whole life and when I grilled him about what he used in...

I have a 24" barrel being made for me by E.R. Shaw chambered in .243 with a 1:8 twist. I thought I'd try and shoot Hornady 87 grain bullets in it. My question is this; Is the 1:8 twist too tight for "lighter" bullets? I actually consider it a light bullet. Most vermin bullets seem to be in the...

I took the plunge (against the advice of my FFL dealer) and bought a Charter Arms Pathfinder revolver in .22 magnum. Out of the box I checked to make sure it was unloaded. Next I pulled the hammer back. OK so far. Went to release the hammer and the trigger caught halfway and stuck. After working...

I'm in a pickle. Some time ago I sold off all my big magnum handguns. I kept a Ruger SP-101 in .327 magnum and a NAA Black Widow in .22 magnum, both of which I REALLY like. The Ruger is just a bit large to carry concealed. So I have been racking my brain to come up with an idea on what to get...

Yep, picked it up yesterday. When I cock the hammer and then let it back down the cylinder locks up tight on about the third time making the gun useless until the pin is removed and put back in. When tried again it will lock up tight again. :scrutiny: Gonna have to go through the hassle of...

I would like another Taurus model 65. I have one already that is some years old. Has anyone bought one of the new ones lately? If so what do you think of it? So far my old six shooter had done well.

First off I like all handguns but revolvers are my favorite. I have owned many over the decades but at the moment all I have is a Taurus 65 in .357 magnum. It seems to be a solid no frills gun. Works good. Awhile back I decided I would like another handgun. I have read ALL of the...

Went into Walmart the other day. On a lark I went over and peeked in the gun rack. As far as shotguns go I have always owned Mossberg and Remington in years past. I picked up a Pardner pump and then compared it side by side with a Remington 870 Express. I left the Remington on the shelf. I was...

Anyone have a Mossberg 930? I am interested if there have been any problems. So far I have heard mostly positive things about them. Doing as much research as I can. :)

I have been looking for a solid no frills double barrel in 20 gauge. (26" barrels) I looked for a new Stevens 411 and I guess they don't import them anymore. I have thought about a Stoeger but have always wondered about the quality. (?) Remington has ended it's pardnership with the Spartan line...

I was been looking at the AR rifles in the local gun shop the other day. I know they are gas operated but a fella was telling me that some manufacturers are making them with a recoil operating system. Is this true? Who makes them and have they proven to be dependable in the AR platform??

For a long time I have been looking for a scope to mount on my Marlin 1894C rifle. Most scopes are way to long for me and forces me to keep my head pulled back at an odd angle. Well today I was cruising through Midwayusa and found the Burris Timberline 4x20mm for about $159.00. It is just a hair...

Been looking for a new shotgun. Thought about a semi auto and have been trying to get some info on the Mossberg 930. Anyone shine a little light on this model? Owners only please. No stories of a friend of a friend. Need first hand accounts on reliability.

For those of you out there who have discovered Ramshot powders but are having a hard time finding it, Graf and Sons has it in stock. I bought 4 pounds of Hunter for $102.00 with hazmat fee included. Came out to be less than 26.00 a pound. Not bad compared to what the local shops have been...

Anyone use these? I have been looking for a "middle of the road" bullet to use on deer and elk-(only in a pinch). These Sierra 140 gr HPBT's caught my eye. Price seems right. Any info?

When I was growing up on the farm we always had a single shot shotgun over the door and a 30-30 in the corner. For rifle ammo we always bought the old Remington Core Lokt or Winchester Silvertips from the local hardware store. By crackie they really worked well. When my dad and brothers started...
