    Opinion of Taurus?

    Just curious about the views of Taurus from members of this forum. I know this is a generalization since they (obviously) don't make just one gun, but that's the view I'm going for.. overall view. No trolling intended! Feel free to drop in specifics especially if it's a view not covered in...

    Traveling into Canada with firearms

    One of my relatives is moving to Alaska and sent me this email after crossing into Canada. Researching laws is a good thing prior to crossing the border!! My misadventure at the border revolved around my revolver. Yep, the Colt 45 handgun got me turned around at the border. At least they...

    Savage 116BGH 30-06

    I picked this up new a few weeks ago, shame it's no longer a production rifle! I figured there wasn't much of a demand for heavy barrel 30-06 rifles anymore and have since been told differently by a friend who works at a local shop. Anybody here have a Savage 116 heavy barrel and if so what's...

    Gun safe experience?

    I'm looking at fullsize gun safes (such as the Browning) and the fire resistance ratings on them. Has anybody here experienced a home fire which burned directly in the area of the gun safe and if so what was the result and the safe?

    Talk me into a Marlin 45-70

    Since getting into rifles I've owned 308, 300 win mag (now sold), 30-30, but predominately 30-06 scoped bolt action. I love the Marlin 1895/1895G 45-70 rifles. I'm a bit torn between the two but I figure I won't loose much energy in the 3.5" barrel difference. Talk me in or out of this...

    Concealed Carry revolver roll call

    Picked up a great condition SP101 2 1/4" today. Intend to carry in a Safariland 27 IWB holster. I've never carried a revolver before, always XDs or 1911's. Who else out there is CC'ing revolvers and what setup are you using?

    XD 45 Compact

    When I purchased this gun it was going to be my daily carry piece. Turns out it's more than a little too thick to avoid printing even with a good loose shirt and IWB holster. Was going to sell it but I realized today I'm really attached to this gun! It's been extremely reliable, the grip...

    Sig GSR XO 1911

    Picked up a SIG GSR XO 1911 today. Hope to take it out to the range and give a report this weekend. Anybody else have this gun, any comments on it?

    Lets see those 1911's!!

    Not too much beyond stock here. Replaced the target sights on the Stainless Compact with 3 dot sights and the grips on the Sig with Hogue Grips. Might do a cylinder and slide Videki trigger on the Sig.

    Choate Tactical Short Action stock review (Savage)

    Installed the new Savage Tactical stock today ( http://www.combatstocks.com/Choate_TACTICAL_Stock_for_Savage_Short_ActionCenterfeed_Only.cfm ). Was a drop in fit in every sense. The stock aligned with the barrel lug very well, barrel sat very straight in the channel and the stock didn't...

    Rifle Basix SAV-1 Savage Trigger review

    Installed a Rifle Basix SAV-1 trigger on a Savage 10 .223 (Stevens 200) tonight. Instructions are pretty straightforward, no illustrations of the assembly process ( other than a picture of the trigger and screw placement itself) however it's certainly not rocket science. Picked up some new...

    Done purchasing firearms?

    After purchasing a bolt action .223 a few days ago I've realized there aren't really anymore firearms I'd like. If money wasn't an object there's quite a few I'd buy.. but for now I've filled ever niche I have the need for.

    Torque screwdriver search

    I'm trying to find a Torque screwdriver around $130 with a max of at least 65 inch lbs and a min of around 10 or more. Would prefer something which would go to 100 inch lbs but I'm flexible for the price. Everything I've found is in the 200s or more such as (...

    Savage staggerfeed versus center feed

    I have a Savage 12FV with a blind box magazine which is attached into the stock and does not stay with the action when the stock is removed. Would this be the staggerfeed or center feed?

    Rifle barrel twist for 55 grain 223 remington

    I intend to do some varmint hunting and use up some of my 223 55 grain Remington VMC in the process. I can just about guarantee I'll never shoot anything but 55 grain 223 ammo. From what I've read this is right on the line for weight class and either twist will handle it. The question is...

    Winchester 180 Grain S3006CT

    For hunting I've stocked up on 180 gr. Supreme® AccuBond™ CT. Any thoughts or feedback on this series of ammo? I've read a couple reports of people saying they've had tips fall off. Hard to verify if it's true and under what conditions. The internet is a great place for one or two people to...
