Well, another deer season is in the books and we put plenty of meat in the freezer. Between me and my oldest son we killed 3 does and an 8 point. It was his first year with hunter education so he could sit on his own. His first sit solo he saw 12 does and did not fire a shot. Waiting on a...

With a cold snap that has hit most of the states the rut is ramping up most places, certainly not all. We are a few weeks into gun season here. I killed a nice 8 point the second day and haven't seen a decent buck within 600 yards since. When it was 85 degrees out of course. He was 102 yards...

Has anyone been using superformance with 165 gainers in 300 Winchester Short Magnum? I have looked at the data on Hodgon's website but was looking for some real world experience I don't want to waste the powder its not a good fit. Superformance seems finicky with its range. I killed 3...

I have hesitated to post this as it may be taken as a rant but I believe it to be a cautionary story. I bought a Rossi 92 16 inch barreled. 357 magnum right before the second panic. 2011 I believe. I love the gun over all but the action was tight and it has problems feeding .38 specials...

I read an article over at the daily beast (sorry I do not have link posting Kung fu) where the Israelis are making AK pattern rifles geared toward the civilian market. Specifically the US. They look a lot like a SCAR, at least the picture in the article, and I am wondering what the price will...

Looks like Berreta is trying to cash in on Ruger's success wit the rpr. Not really my cup of tea but I like seeing new gun designs come out. I didn't see what calibers it would be offered in but the MSRP was $1899.

I have recently interested a Winchester 88 and after looking at the rifle I have some questions for the experts. I wish I could post pics but that isn't going to happen. First off the rifle was built in 1960 and chambered in .308 win. My father lent it to a buddy to hunt with for about 15...

I found an o3a3 converted to .35 whelen. It is a conversion on a National ordinance receiver. I realize these are cast el cheapo receivers. I am thinking about trading my Mosin Nagant for an even trade. The receiver is not drilled and the barrel is about 20". Unless YOU have personally seen...

I just thought I would share. Once I realized this stock would be hard to make any worse it seemed like a no brainer to paint it. This is my first attempt and I am pretty happy with it. I did use an automotive clear coat primer before applying the paint job. After that regular Wally world...

I have been loading some .308 win for rifle season and was saving my Nosler brass for this. I am pretty disappointed with the brass. 3 in 30 have been no good so far. The primer pockets are too shallow to properly seat the primers. So far I have had much better luck with Winchester and...

Ruger has unveiled their gunsite scout rifle in .223. Looks like they see how well Mossberg is dong with the MVP. Seems pricey for a .223 to me. Then again I think the .308 version is on the high side for what it is too. http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html

I am seriously considering one of these rifles in .223 for a youth hunting/first centerfire rifle for my oldest son. I would actually like them better if they did not take AR mags. Anyone out there own one and care to give their opinions on the rifle. I am thinking the 18.5 or 20 sporter...

I am about to buy a case prep station. The hand reaming and chamfuring has become too slow. I will also use it for military crimp removal on primer pockets of 5.56 and 7.62x51 among the other functions. I have narrowed it down to the lyman or the RCBS. The Hornady is out of my price range...

I have a recent interest in resurrecting my .22's from the dead. My children are at the learning age at 6 and 11. I have a stock Ruger 10/22(blued, wood stock) that I purchased new at wally world in 1998. The trigger on this rifle is extremely heavy. Like prohibitive to shoot well heavy...

I was shooting my Savage 11 trophy hunter .308 today at my local range. I wanted to try out some new components for a production run. I am using Federal 210 primers, Hornaday Match cases, 43.5 gr IMR 4064 and 168gr Berger VLD's with a 2.90 COAL. I loaded 15(just a week ago) and shot them in...

I took the Mosin out to the range today. A nice 10 degrees a the range seemed like a good Russian day to me:) I shoot the milsurp corrosive Bulgarian light ball and clean after each range session. It got me thinking about my practice of using windex and why I do so. I was told the ammonia...

I recently purchased a Marlin 336w. The thing that is interesting to me is that it has the jm stamp on the barrel butt it looks to me like it may have been peened out. Is that possible? It is definitely a post 2000 gun so could it have been assembled before Remington took over and sold after...

I have a Rossi 92 16 inch trapper that I bought about a year ago in .357 mag. The action has always felt really tight but not so smooth. And she did not feed .38's all that reliably. The other issue was that with the short sight radius and a sloping barrel the gun shot too high at about 6-8...

I am going to the shoot my 1917 Erfurt for the first time on Sunday. I got this pistol about a year ago and something was wrong in the firing mechanism.(safety I think) I have it back from the gunsmith and I am ready to sling a little lead with this thing. I keep thinking how someone must...

I have bought my son a Henry h001 lever action .22 for Christmas. This will be a rabbit/squirrel gun for him and I want to put a sling on it. I have looked around and not found a great option. Is there a replacement barrel band with a sling swivel in it? Any Suggestions? Also I plan on...
