    In celebration of today I did the right thing today

    At the exact moment when the now POTUS was being sworn in I was getting a BAT&F background check for the purchase of a new gun and ammo. The timing was not planned but was just as priceless. I guess I was not the only person with the same idea....the background check took close to fourty...

    Why Only Winchester 12 gauges?

    Does anyone know or understand why Winchester only makes 12 gauge? It seems like they are missing a lot of market by not making sub-gauge guns. The argument can probably be made, now they are part of Browning, Browning has the sub-guage market. However, historically, OK for 20 years or so...

    Winchester Select Energy?

    I was just thinking, is anyone still shooting a Winchester Select Energy for sporting clays or have you moved on to another gun? The reason I ask is because most of the forums/boards have been quiet about this gun for 2+ years. I know there were a few issues with cracked forestocks and some...

    Browning Experts Chime In - BigJim, Zippy......?

    I found a Browning 425, 20 gauge w/ 30-inch tubes that I thing is from 1995 or 1996. I'd say it is grade three because of the wood. The engraving on the receiver is nothing special. After doing internet research and talking to a few loca "experts" I still have questions. 1. Is the 20 gauge...

    Beretta Experts chime in - Barrel finish

    What was that ungly finish I saw on a Beretta White Onyx 686, 28 ga, yesterday? It was a dull, matte black finish that I suppose was made so fingerprints don't show. Is this a new finish, or has it been available for a while? In my opinion it was really ugly.

    EAA Witness Elite?

    There is an article in the new American Rifleman on the EAA Witness Elite. I don't claim to be a pistol guy but it seems like a good value. What are the general thoughts on that side arm?

    S&W shotgun?

    I have recently been looking for a "gentleman's gun" for carrying in the quail tracts of northern FL and southern GA. I have been looking for something a little out of the usual, a conversation piece if you will. I certainly can't afford the "bespoke guns" of a couple of clients but having...

    TGIF - the weekend is here - post your pictures! I just got back from the store, putting a deposit on a winchester model 70, in 270. It has a custom fitted maple stock. I am usually a hard core walnut guy but this is different, unique, tasteful and nice looking with some birdseyes. I will...

    Separate sporting and tactical shotgun and rifle forums

    Does anyone besides me think it is time to separate the rifle and shotgun forums into "sporting" and "tactical" (ie separate the two existing forums into four)? Personally, I have little to no interest in AR style rifles and defense shotguns. I have to believe there are TFL members that are...

    Location

    One thing that I believe would be mighty helpful would be to request members put a location in thier handle. This would make each member's response more relevant when discussing hunting items or hunting rifles. For example when discussing a specific caliber or cartridge is would be easy to...

    Have hogs extended their range?

    I hail from the Rocky Mountain West so I haven't been around hogs too much. I find myself in FL the last two years or so for work so I have learned and am continuing to learn about hogs. From what I have read it seems hogs have been extending their range from what I recall reading thirty...

    OK, I need 7mm RUM ammo

    So, owning the 7mm RUM may not be the smartest for someone that does not reload. What can I say, when I bought it I the batteries in my crystal ball were dead so I didn't know the cartridge would go obsolete so soon. I've been doing some looking around but can't find any ammo for less than...

    Part of an email sent to Benelli

    I sent Benelli an email with three or four questions about various products of theirs I own. Below is a portion of that email sent to Benelli this morning. As strong of a following as the Supersport has, I am sure a 28 would be a "seller" too. If anyone else is so inclined, perhaps some...

    Ithaca 700 research/history?

    Found what I believe to be a late 1970's Ithaca 700 - excellent shape, very reasonable cost. I know very little about Ithaca's of this vintage other than they were made by SKB. I have tried research on the internet, shotgunworld.com, etc. to little value. Can someone please point me to a...
