    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    Got my 100x100 at the MN State shoot in '82, but I had some success at Archery before that, 2nd in a big tournament at 16. In Basic, I only got Sharpshooter, but qualified Expert with the M16A1 later, and with everything else I shot, except the .38s, none of them were in good enough shape. Shot...

    Is it sacrilegious to bubba an early model Winchester 12?

    Those are actually not as common as Model 12's, but they are less expensive because they were thought of as a cheap version of the Model 12. They're still 1000 times better than the 1200 which replaced them

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    Well, it was pretty pixelated on my phone.....

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    I've never seen a Redfield Type extension Ring look like that front ring before. But I also don't see the lug underneath the ring if it's out of the base. You never answered the question; you tightened up the bases and rings, was the front ring not turned in to it's base or is that some sort of...

    I’ve got 99 cases…

    How many mg. of Haldol did it take? ; ) Hunting loads I like to keep LC headstamps and years together, but I usually only load those in 20 round lots anyway. Everything else, I don't get all edgy about it.

    Colt 1903

    If you're not a revolver aficionado, bidding on SAAs on GunBroker probably isn't a wise move. Definitely something you want to do a lot of research before delving into.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    I wouldn't say extremely, but yes he used the common stance of the day, feet just on either side of an imaginary line through the middle of the walkway. I stand closer to the current combat stance myself, and use the hips for windage instead of using the left arm to guide the gun and twist the...

    Rear bag suggestions?

    If you're using a Lead Sled or similar rest, purpose made bags are good to have. Otherwise, Shot bags filled with sand (or spent primers, which I have a good supply of) work fine. I use two on the front, I usually don't use a rear bag, that's what my off hand is for.

    Rear bag suggestions?

    I bring shot bags filled with spent primers to the club as I fill them.

    Glock triggers - help me please.

    Having tried the triggers on a couple 'target Glocks' (G24 & G34), they aren't any better than a stock G17.

    "Upgrades" to a Savage Axis (not an Axis II)

    MCARBO makes a trigger spring 'kit' for the original Axis, though I never bothered with it on mine, it shot quite well without it. My $29 Axis II has the AccuTrigger, which I have set down to 2# . I will be ordering a scope much better than the Bushnell 3-9 that came with it, still deciding...

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    The OP put it in the wrong sub forum, he was discussing an 870. Plus, the same technique I described works for rifles also.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    ....or you're mounting it wrong. See my last post. The man who taught me how to mount a shotgun was 5'4" and had the standard 14" pull on his Model 12.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    Many people want a shorter LOP because of the way they learned to bring a butt stock to the shoulder. They try to bring the butt up as straight to the shoulder as possible, kind of sliding it up the shoulder, thinking this is faster and/or more efficient. That not totally wrong, but while...

    Glock triggers - help me please.

    Simple solution; keep Glocks for defensive use, and practice only defensive shooting with them. Buy a CZ Shadow 2 or a 2011 type pistol for target shooting, and only shoot targets with it. (Although several 2011 makers make Commander and Officer sized 2011s....)

    870 upgrades

    870 Express, yes. The Wingmasters had a regular hot blue, as do the new Fieldmasters. I think with the Express they wanted to be just like Browning, whose shotguns tend to rust easily. Seriously, it was to meet the price point of entry level pumps like the 120 Ranger.

    Inline muzzleloader for hunting?

    I personally don't own an inline, but I chose both CVA models. Wolf is less expensive, Optima is a little better, both will do the job.

    20" vs. 22" Turkey Gun

    If it were an auto, I'd recommend 22", but for a pump, 20" is fine as long as it has screw in chokes. It's been a while since I hunted turkey, we did it with our 30" Full duck and Trap guns.
