    Henry Frontier rounds stuck in magazine tube

    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...

    Sight Mark laser bore sighter

    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.

    Loading a bolt action rifle from the bottom

    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...

    Caliber / Game Species List

    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...

    United Nations UN Standard Issue Equipment

    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.

    Benelli Supernova malfunctioning

    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...

    Winchester Model 70 Alaskan vs Safari Express

    If you were to get a Winchester Model 70 chambered in .375 H&H, which one would you get - the Alaskan, or the Safari Express - and why? Thanks.

    Downloading the .416 Rigby (or any big cartridge)

    I’ll say right up front that I have no experience reloading and I don’t yet own a rifle chambered in .416 Rigby. This is just a potential idea for the future. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the .416 Rigby, with handloads, could be a very versatile cartridge. With a 300 grain...

    Subsonic Ammunition for Hunting

    While listening to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, I heard him and his friends discussing bow hunting axis deer in Lanai. He said (paraphrasing) that the deer were often 2-6 feet away from the arrow by the time it got to them, even though he hit exactly where he was aiming, because they...

    Finger behind trigger?

    While practicing dry firing (Super Redhawk 7.5"), I've gotten in the habit of tucking my trigger finger behind the trigger between shots instead of extending it above or on the outside of the trigger guard. I imagine it would look weird if I were to do this at the range, especially for people...

    Marlin 1894 .44 Magnum Lead-Free Ammunition

    Hello, all. Has anyone found a lead-free .44 Magnum ammunition that will achieve pig-worthy accuracy and reliability in a lever gun, such as the Marlin 1894? I think the main concern is that copper bullets are less dense and therefore longer than lead bullets, so they might not feed reliably in...
