I have another question for all of you long range shooters. Why not use the 243 Win for long range? A 100gr Sierra from a 243 Win has 60" less drop at 1000 yards than a 308 175gr Sierra. The 243 Win also has only 4 more inches of wind drift at 1000 yards with a 10mph crosswind. Both bullets...

I currently own a 308 WIN that is capable of 1/4 MOA. It has been my heavy varmint rig for years. I currently have a leupold fixed 12x on it that had been done by Premier Reticles. I had them install a reticle with BDC dots out to 500 yards. The scope sits in Standard Leupold bases and rings...

I have always wanted one but have avoided them due to the inaccuracy. I have heard that the new ones are better than the old. So if I were to buy one today what could I expect. J.

So, a lot of people are always advising others to purchase a 700 over another rifle because they are customizable. So, tell me what can you do to a 700 that you cannot do to any other bolt action rifle? J.

Does anyone have any experience with this model or any other Pentax Gameseeker scope? I am looking at many scopes in the 1-5 range and someone suggested this one. I'm not being rude but this thing is only $100, has anyone had one for a length of time to give it a good evaluation of it or...

I am putting together a 358 WIN. Well my smith is putting one together for me, I can’t take the credit. Anyway I have my own ideas of optics and what scope I might use but I wanted to get a little cross section of the forum to see what you guys think. Like I said the rifle is going to be...

I don’t get it? Why is everyone trying to do this? Is it just for the heck of it? I'll be honest with you, what it does is show the public more carelessness. They do not see the fun in blowing off a few hundred rounds in a couple minutes, they see gun owners trying to make their semi auto...

I cant believe it, I am sitting here watching, of all things Stargate SG-1, on the Sci-Fi channel and a security guard on the show is carrying a COP. I know, no real question or topic I just found it funny and if I woke my wife to tell her she may get a little upset, she wouldnt see the humor...

So, I was just wondering what everyone used as their walking varminter. Mine is my favorite Weatherby; West German Weatherby Mark V VarmintMaster in 224 WBY MAG. It is a scaled down Mark V action with a slim 24" barrel, full length pillar bedded, Talley bases and rings, and a Leupold VX III...

I am looking for a BLR in 358WIN. I have limited experience with them and was wondering if anyone had experience with both models. I am looking for any comparison you can make between the two. Thank you. J.

I havent shot the darn thing in 8 or 9 years, really never liked it a whole lot. It is kind of boringly accurate if you understand what I mean. The trouble is I wouldnt know what to ask for it. You see such a wide variety of prices being asked for them I just wouldnt know where to start. Anyone...

I am torn on which 44 to buy, a nice 4" S&W Mountain Gun or a Ruger Super Blackhawk. I would like to know what kind of accuracy to expect from the Ruger. So all of you Ruger owners out there let me know what I could expect from a Super Blackhawk. Thanks J.

I am trying to decide between a S&W Mountain Gun and a Ruger Super Blackhawk. I want this hangun for the following reasons: 1. Carry gun for the woods; that’s why I thought this lighter revolver with the 4" barrel would be nice 2. Sidearm for possible close range shots at our whitetail deer...

I am fairly new to handguns. I have had a few for years but my knowledge is in long guns. I do not have a 44 of any kind and I came across an S&W 29-8 Mountain Gun in 44 MAG this evening. The gun appears to be in excellent condition with no real sign of use. I am thinking about getting it but do...

I have a 38-55 that I would like to load for. I have everything I need but I just thought I'd ask for a little information. Smokeless and blackpowder loads are all welcome. The firearm it is chambered in is the H&R Target Rifle. Thanks J.

I picked up a used 686 that had a Pro Point mounted on it. I have no desire for the scope but the owner had misplaced the rear sight. It is a -4 model with the rounded front instead of the squared front. Is there anyone out there that has one sitting around? Drop me a line if you do and would...

I am thinking about getting rid of my AR and picking up a Ruger Mini-14 Target. Does anyone have one that they would like to tell us about? I'd like to talk to someone that has one before I go out and get it. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/firearms/FAProdView?model=5844&return=Y Thanks J.

I am interested in the Meopta line but have no firsthand experience. I would appreciate any input. I currently own the following models from the following makers: Leupold Vari-X II Vari-X III VX-II VX-III Burris Fullfield II Fullfield 30 European Signature Select...

Now I am asking all of you who really know.... Who actually builds the sniper rifles for the various Armed Forces? I have been under the understanding that the Armorers actually build the rifles one at a time in the Armories. Am I correct or completely wrong? I have been getting some flack in a...

I'd like to know where all the accurate Remington 700's can be bought. I have had many over the years and few were accurate out of the box. I get so tired of the “The Remington 700 is the best rifle made" comments that I could just crap. Out of the dozen or so that I have owned, and many that...
