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

    Do all the stuff mentioned by other posters - check that your screws are tight, maybe replace rings, etc. HOWEVER, barely over MOA groups is not super inaccurate. You can probably get more out of it if you bed the action or do other things but I'd consider it well within acceptability.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    I typically make due with factory length, though if anything I'd be lengthening LOP not shortening it.

    Hungarian M95

    That was one of the few milsurps that I didn't pick up back when I had my C&R license and imports were more plentiful. I always regretted it. Congrats on your find!

    New 357 Lever Action

    Yeah indeed, but this seems WAYYYYYY overpriced. Most people don't buy these Turkish-made guns for their world-renowned quality - they buy them because they're cheap. I'd be interested in this for $300 (even that is stretching a bit). More than that I'll save a little more for something else.

    GForce .357 Magnum Lever Action - Who Makes It?

    They're almost certainly just doing .357 because they think it'll sell better. SAAMI max for .44 Mag is 36,000 PSI. Same for .357 Mag is 35,000 PSI - no commercial product is going to be skirting to close to the safety line that 1k PSI would make any difference.

    Beretta BRX1 Straight Pull Review

    Yeah when I was growing up my dad had 5 or 6 guns - all of them (including his hunting rifle - a Remington 742) had crossbolt safeties. I didn't encounter anything other than a crossbolt until I was an adult so it took me a long time before I got the whole "forward for fire" thing.

    Beretta BRX1 Straight Pull Review

    Any possibility of getting some closer photographs of that? 3D printing is a great tool for home use but I have to admit I'd feel a bit slighted to get a 3d printed part over injection molded at this price point.

    Low price optics

    If you only have $100 to spend, I'd recommend a SIG Whiskey3 over 2 ones you listed. In general though I've never been happy with anything in the price range. Granted I'm not a scope snob (my hunting range is generally 100 yards and less so optical clarity isn't super important, and I'm a "set...

    Steyr C9-A2

    I hopped on that deal too. $299 was just too good to pass up, though I would have liked the longer barreled version. I'll be picking mine up this Saturday :D.

    Rifle barrel burst; are cold hammer forged barrels stronger than others?

    You had the caveat right in your post - the Hi Point is a blow-back action. The slide is going to open up and any building pressure will release through the breech before it builds high enough to split the barrel. With rifles, not only are the pressures involved typically a lot higher, but...

    Rifle barrel burst; are cold hammer forged barrels stronger than others?

    The result isn't frightening - its expected. A bore obstruction will universally cause a barrel to catastrophically fail.

    Dumb question about fiberglass rifle stocks

    Ok, I feel stupid for asking this question, but I own no rifles with a fiberglass stock - plenty of wood (both solid and laminate) and injection polymer stocks. My only experience with fiberglass was our old fiberglass satellite dish when I was a kid, insulation, and fiberglass ladders. These...

    New Ruger Mini-14 Tactical

    I love that stock - I run it on mine, though its a pretty bone stock Mini-14 with just that stock as an upgrade. Still, between the rifle being on clearance and a dealer discount from Brownells I think I've got around $750 in mine, so I'm happy with it.

    Walked into a Gun Shop Friday and saw this... AUG Clone MSAR

    I'd definitely pass at $1500. You can get a new real AUG for maybe $100-200 more than that.

    American-made rifles in .22 long rifle?

    Pretty sure that's only in .22 Hornet, not .22 LR.

    Tisas 2011 pistols

    Could be interesting. I like the 2011 pattern guns (have 2 of them) but whoo-boy are they expensive - at least traditionally. Once STI (sorry "Staccato" :barf:)'s patent ran out there was always bound to be cheaper clones.

    Fightlite dress option #2

    I like the with the Fightlite lowers/stocks look quite a bit. Heck I might buy one even with "normal" ARs available for hunting purposes if I could find an upper with a sleeker non-cheese grater forend.

    Potential .327 single shot rifle solution: Chaszel .410 to .327 adaptor.

    This would work well if you have a shotgun that is drilled and tapped for a scope rail (or you could have it drilled). Otherwise aiming for this with a shotgun bead is going to be pretty inaccurate.

    Henrys new .223/5.56 rifle

    Henry didn't make a single semi-auto gun until last year. If anything they expanded into that territory recently. Don't be so doom and gloom. Companies build whatever they think they're going to sell. That's it. An AWB would likely see an extreme SURGE in manufacturing of them until its in...

    New S&W 1854 Lever Action .44

    If they're going to do a lever gun with a polymer stock, I think they did it in a tasteful way. Enough to look modern without looking stupid and tacticool. Personally I have no interest (at least not at this price - to me I'd be willing to pay $500 for such a rifle and no more, but I don't...
