Hello. I recently purchased a new Henry Frontier Octagon .22 LR rifle (Hoo1T). When I unload it, one or two (usually two) rounds get stuck in the magazine tube and I have to shake the rifle, muzzle up, to get them loose, or cycle them through the ejection port. Does anyone have any idea what...

Hello. Does anyone have any experience with the Sight Mark laser bore sighter? Is it okay to dry fire on it? I'm using the .30-06 version in a Winchester Model 70. It's a decent cat toy. Thanks.

What is the purpose of uncocking it if the chamber is empty? Is this just so you can visually confirm that the rifle is not ready to fire? Thanks.

After a few emails back and forth, I got them to correct the Winchester website regarding the capacity.

That is good point. As the hinged floorplate seems like it's probably one of the weaker parts of the rifle, the increased wear and tear might be a reason to not do it this way.

Yes, when I said it's a little bit faster than loading from the top, I should have said that I meant only if I'm going to carry it with an empty chamber. If I'm going to top it off, it's probably slower to turn it over to load the magazine from the bottom.

I can fit five in the magazine with enough play left over to hold them down and chamber the sixth round and then cycle it empty with no problem. I'm pretty sure it's a mistake on their website. Consider the size difference between a .30-06 cartridge and a .375 H&H cartridge and that the same...

Hello. I recently purchased a Winchester Model 70 Alaskan, chambered in .30-06. I've been practicing loading it and unloading it, mostly with snap caps. I discovered that I'm able to load it from the bottom, meaning that I open the hinged floorplate, turn the rifle upside down and drop five...

That is a very good point.

What kind of .416 Remington Magnum is that? I had been wanting a .416 Rigby, but after doing more research, it seems that the .416 Rem Mag might be a more logical choice, due to the ammunition apparently being more readily available and less expensive, though I'm not exactly sure why that is the...

Why did the land owner ban AR's? Thanks.

Right now, the only firearm I have is 7.5" .44 Magnum Super Redhawk. I like it for its versatility, among other things. I just ordered a Winchester Model 70 Alaskan in .30-06, also for its versatility. Eventually, I would like to get a .22 LR, for sure. I've also been wanting a .416 Rigby for...

While we can agree that the Sportsman's Guide list is inadequate, would most of you agree with the conclusion drawn from it, that, if you could hypothetically only have three rifles, you would pretty much have all your bases covered with .22 LR, .30-06 and .416 Rigby?

This one is pretty good, too: http://www.shootingrangeindustries.com/caliber-vs-game-animal-chart-hunting-terrain-considerations-for-small-medium-large-quarry/

This is perhaps a better resource, but it is not formatted as conveniently: https://www.chuckhawks.com/restrictions_hunting_big_game.htm

Hello. I’ve been using this list as a reference: https://guide.sportsmansguide.com/game-guides/ It’s the best one I’ve found, so far. However, I feel that it is very much incomplete, in terms of the game species listed. For example, the following animals are not listed: pigs, alligators...

Hello. Does anyone out there know what the current standard loadout for a Blue Helmet foot soldier is? When I search for this on the internet, most of the results are for US Marine and Army gear, even if I put "United Nations" in quotes. Thanks.

Hello. I recently purchased a brand new Benelli Supernova (20115). I haven't shot it yet but I've cycled it about 100 times with snap caps and various live ammunition. I can get it to function properly sometimes, if I rack it excessively hard, but when I rack it reasonably hard, it consistently...

I agree: stainless, synthetic, open sights and no muzzle brake. Thanks.

I agree. I wish they made a .375 H&H kind of like the Extreme Weather SS, but with open sights and maybe as heavy as the Alaskan (heavier than the Extreme Weather SS). Thanks.
