    A weekend thread - Show your wood and stainless

    It's Friday - the weekend will soon be here. How about a weekend thread showing your stuff. I have a stainless/synthetic 700 I want to restock with wood, walnut probably. OK, so I'm old fashioned, I don't care much for the look or feel of a synthetic stock. I think a hunting or target rifle...

    What are the chokes of these barrels?

    I am looking at a single trap that comes with two barrels. They are obviously two single fixed barrels. One barrel is 0.695 and the other is 0.685. What are these chokes? Is this what I am looking for in a trap gun?

    Browning phone number or email?

    Does anyone know a way to contact Browning? The phone numbers on their website do not work and there is a note on the customer service page speaking to changed numbers. I have been trying to contact them about technical differences in a few of their shotgun models. Any thoughts or help...

    OK, I'm officially confused - bulleye gun

    Several forums or boards I have been reading, trying to get educated, are using what I believe to be bullseye competition lingo I am unfamiliar with. Clarification please. Many writers and gun sellers for that matter are referring to "ball guns" and "wad guns." I assume they are referring to...

    Me and my NRA hat Voted (merged)

    I wore my NRA hat to vote this morning. Did you? I had a guy say, "Nice hat," when I was walking out of the polling place. I voted, got a free cup of joe, found $50 in my pocket and went for a walk all before eight o'clock. It is going to be a good day. Voting makes the United States of...

    Bullseye gun

    I have been shooting .22 cal at the range and in club league for for a long while. I have recently become interested in bullseye and have accumulated the funds for a "beginner" .45 cal so I can shoot the entire circuit. I have shopped and run across the following used guns. My question is...

    Palm Beach Post - Number of guns being sold

    It must be a slow news day in Palm Beach County. This was the headline story on the front page. FYI - the Post is a decidedly left leaning paper in a county with plenty of gun crimes and election trouble - you may recall the "hanging chads." I'm not trying to stir up any trouble - just...

    Name your ear protection

    There has been a lot of discussion on this board lately about ear protection. However, there has been little to none about what each person is actually using and its comfort. I'm largely a clay shotgunner so I'm not really that cracked up about earmuffs but have used them. Most of the time...

    Tikka T3 Tactical

    First, let me say I am not that into tactical or bench guns. But, with that said, I just got back from shooting a buddy's Tikka T3 Tactical .223. That thing is sweet and has an easy, short stroke on the trigger, right around 3 or 3-1/2 pounds. My groups sucked but that is me. Who else has...

    30-06 Barrel Length vs. Velocity

    I have thought, for a long time, that the preferred barrel length for a 30-06 rifle was 24-inch +/-. I have been looking at a Winnie 670A that has a 22-inch barrel. What can I expect in a velocity reduction due to the 2-inch shorter barrel. Also, it there a resource with the calculations...
