    Gun manufacturers parts sale poll

    I was going to purchase a Springfield XD 45 but purchased a Glock 21 instead simply because the only parts Springfield will sell are the slide spring and magazines. Essentially everything else requires the gun to be shipped back to Springfield. When I mentioned this to the shop owner he said...

    Inexpensive fine reticle scope

    I'll be purchasing an inexpensive .223 rifle (Probably a Savage 11FXCP3) for shooting at 200 yards or less with, not far at all. I want a scope with a pretty fine reticle since this will be my "inexpensive accurate .223 target rifle" project. Most inexpensive scopes I've found ($200-$300)...

    Experience with Ruger warranty work?

    I purchased a brand new Ruger Super Redhawk stainless 44 mag, took it home and began a standard new gun cleaning. To my horror I noticed this between the frame and crane pivot assembly: I mailed the firearm back to Ruger UPS insured (cost nearly $70 as it had to be sent overnight air) along...

    22LR semi auto pistol impressions?

    Looking for a 22LR semi automatic pistol that's not striker fired (external hammer only). While in general 22 Pistols seem picky on ammo I'm hoping to find something that take Federal Copper Plated 22LR ammo well (their bulk pack ammo). I had a Walther P22 and was not impressed with its...

    Kaboom survey

    Catch more flies with honey than vinegar. How many people have actually had a kaboom that wasn't due to a squib in the barrel while the gun was being fired again, bad/hot reloads or barrel blockage? In other words normal conditions and factory (or +P) loads (rifle or handgun). People will...

    Hogue EZG recoil pad- Savage synthetic stock- anybody tried it?

    Looking at the Hogue EZG Recoil pad for a Savage 110 stock- Hogue's part number 00770 (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=434031). Anybody have experience with this? So many prefit recoil pads don't fit that well, curious if there's any feedback on this one.

    Amazon.com Leupold scope listing.. all sorts of wrong

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BYF4XM Listed for $542 + shipping- goes for $330 from MidwayUSA. Listed shipping weight is 17.9 lbs. I pray nobody has ever paid this much for this scope.

    Glock 28/25 U.S. sale ban

    I know they're not available in the U.S. (Glock .380, either model). I'm curious what import requirements were not met by this gun.. I ready they don't " lack sufficient BATF import points." Any idea what those are specifically?

    45ACP versus 9MM- hard numbers

    It seems to me people compare self defense calibers without giving more data (load, bullet type, weight, etc). For example: Federal Personal Defense 230 grain JHP: Muzzle Velocity: 850 fps Muzzle Energy: 369 ft. lbs. Hornady Custom Ammunition 45 ACP 200 Grain XTP JHP: Muzzle Velocity: 900 fps...

    2.5" versus 4" sunshade

    Every time I've purchased a Leupold scope I've used their 2.5" sun shade. Never really looked at the 4" version. I cannot imagine any advantage to the 4" other than the fact it may hide a few more thermals if the barrel becomes very hot. Any thoughts on this? Any change in FOV when zoomed...

    Savage Long action heavy barrel centerfeed stocks

    Anybody familiar with an aftermarket stock for Long action heavy barrel centerfeed Savage rifles? Hogue has some coming out later this year but have told me on the phone (quite rudely) they have no specs on them yet available, which I find hard to believe.

    Savage 116BGH aftermarket stock

    I've been looking around at stocks for my rifle. I love their guns but have never been a fan of their pre-accustock rifle stocks. I came across the new Hogue stock which is designed for long action heavy barrel savages (...
