    308 barrel length; 22", 24", or 26"??????

    I have a Remington Varmint that came with a 26" heavy barrel. My question is which is the optimal barrel length for the 308? I was thinking of having it cut down and recrowned at 20-22". The purpose of this gun is mainly as a precision/predator control gun.

    New Remington ADL Varminter

    Went out and picked up a Remington 700 ADL Varmint in .308 at the local Dick's sporting goods today. After rebate it'll be $449. Initially I was going to order a Howa Heavy Barrel Varminter but did not like the Hogue stock at all. At least with the Remington varminter stock I can live with it...

    Loading lead bullets

    I plan to start loading for my Guide Gun using Laser Cast lead bullets. Do I need to use a certain bullet seating die or can I use the die that comes in Lee Pacesetter set?

    Cleaning brass?

    I saw in the Midway catalog a kit of a liquid brass cleaner where you put your brass in the bucket, let sit for the prescribed time, take out rinse and let dry. Anyone have experience with this?

    1st day at range with new Guide Gun

    Well today I got to take the new Guide Gun. I ran Winchester 300gr JHP and Hornady 325gr LE through it. What a gun! I outfitted this gun with the XS ghost rings. Becasue I didn't have a spotting scope with me I only shot 1 round at a time to allow for walking down range to check where they were...

    30-30 or 45/70

    I want a lever action rifle for hunting. I will be hunting boar, Whitetail and possibly an occasional Mule deer hunt. Which would you choose and why?

    New 835 Combo

    I decided for the next hunting season I would like to start deer hunting again. I also decided that I wanted one of the Mossberg combos where you get the cantilever, rifled deer barrel and 28" field barrel. Not having luck around my house, I drove 30 minutes to Cabelas to see what they had. On...

    Strange twist of fate

    This morning at Home Depot I ran into a friend. We briefly talked about the projects we were doing and the talk then turned to guns of course. I happened to mention that two handguns I regret getting rid of were the 4" GP-100 and the Springfield Mil-Spec I had customized at the SA Custom Shop...

    Revolver and shotgun

    Who here has decided that for their own self defense, a shotgun and revolver will do the trick. I find as I get older I am liking the process of simplification more and more. When I started out in shooting it was with revolvers and shotguns. Did my time in the service and switched to semi's in...

    Drawn back to the revolver

    It had been a few years since I shot revolver. For Christmas my wife bought me a S&W 340PD. Took it to the range and I had forgotten how great it was to shoot a wheel gun. A few days after Christmas my wife said she wanted a gun to go to the range with me and to use for a house gun. I found a...

    New Mossberg 500

    On New Years Eve I bought a new Mossy 500 SP with 7 shot mag tube and 2o inch barrel. The store had a 15% off all new shotguns sale, so I got it for $229 plus tax. Took it to the range today and ran 25 rounds of field loads, 10 rounds of Winchester Ranger reduced recoil OO buckshot and 15...

    New to me S&W 67

    Well today I picked a used but in excellent condition Model 67, pre-lock. I actually thought this was a new gun, that is how good the condition is. Other odd thing about it is that it came from the factory with a stainless rear sight. I have only ever seen these with blued rear sights. I paid...

    New Christmas present

    Christmas came a little early this year. Last night my wife gave the receipt for a paid in full S&W 340PD.:D I have been looking for a snubby for a little while and she went and bought one for me. I can't get over how light these things are. Hopefully it will be at the range later this morning.

    1st range trip with new G21 SF

    A couple of weeks ago I traded my modified SA Mil-Spec even up for a new G21 SF. I got the model with the piccatiny rail and ambi mag release. I have to say up front, that I just need to realize that in my hands, I shoot Glocks the best. I ran 100 rounds of Federal American Eagle and 25 rounds...

    New G21SF

    For a couple of weeks one of my local shops had a previously sold but never fired 21SF sitting on the back shelf. Has the ambi mag release and piccatiny rail. A couple of times I checked it out and really liked how it felt. Now I have been a 1911 guy for a while. But in all honesty I have gotten...
