As I've been "Jonesing" to be shooting, I received a Ruger Air Hawk rifle from a concerned family member. Need some advise on the unknown (to me) realm of air rifles. As there seems no repository here (why?) I ask what is the best place to direct my questing mind?

Just got the rifled/ scoped barrel for my Mossberg 500. Looking to hunt white tail in a shotgun only county (up till now I've always used a muzzle loader). What is a good round for this gun. Not looking for "Premium" just something decent. A "Good Value" as it were. Or, to put it another way...

Recently purchased a scoped, rifled barrel for my Mossberg 500. Was wondering about what is required to load saboted slugs. Where to get what components? Can you use once fired shot hulls? I've many years experience loading metallic cartridges but zero loading shotshells. I looked at...

Anyone know of any in .mobi, .epub or even .pdf or .html?

I have a new T/C Impact. I shoot Pyrodex (granular, not pellets). What do you all recommend for a primer? Standard shotshell primer or the "Special" black-powder primers?

I don't think I was in kindergarten the first time I shot the little Stevens 22. What do you all think is a good age to start teaching my twin grandchildren to shoot? Also, any particular advice? Will be the first time teaching children to shoot. I am going to use the same old bolt action single...

I have a mid 70's Ruger Model 77 in 270 win. I was thinking of trying the 150 gr TSX but I see their site recommends a 1:9.5 twist or tighter. Any one tried these in a looser twist. I'm looking at using these for a short range (200 yards or less) northeast white tail load. Mainly want the...

If Marlin/Remington is now producing junk and the Browning and Winchester is pricy, what's the next option for a 45-70 lever gun? How is the quality on the Rossi?

I was looking at Marlin 1895's on Bud's Gun Shop and noticed some of the reviews were terrible. Has the quality of the Marlins dropped off now that (from what I understand) Remington has taken them over? Anyone have experience with new 1895's?

Bought a new pair of mittens for hunting, the kind where you can fold back the mit and thumb to expose the fingers for shooting. 5:00 am, very dark, trying to use my gps to find my hunting spot as I normally do (I scout before and during the season and add likely spots to my gps as waypoints so...

One more time ;) Got my trusty Ruger Model 77 in .270 Win about thirty years ago (16 yo at the time). Spent a lot of time deciding on the cartridge. Had dreams of hunting antelope out west (never did) and did use it for long range chuck hunting. Mainly though I use it for white tail. I've never...

A longtime muzzle loader hunter, used my TC Hawken that I assembled for about 28 years. I'm tired of babying the beautiful walnut stock and just had another hang fire that cost me another deer. Soooo...I'm looking at in-lines. Don't need anything top of the line but don't want cheap s**t...

I was shooting my Springfield Mil-Spec yesterday, working up some new loads using W231 instead of my normal Bullseye. Toward the end of the session I had some failures of the slide to go fully into battery, I had to push them forward a little. I suspected my over all length might have been a...

Looking to pickup one of these two guns. My current BP experience is with a T/C Hawken. Which of the two do you all feel is better? Whats is a good value in a replica?

I've been using Bulseye in my 45 ACP lead target rounds and they seem to work pretty good (so why mess....it's what we do, no?). I was thinking on trying something just a touch slower burning. Those that use one of the three listed, why? I shoot 230 gr lead RN at about 800 fps

I see some do and some don't. I'm wondering why you would or wouldn't.

I bought 1000 148 gr BBWC Magnus #502 back about 5 years ago from Mid-South. Before that I always got my bullets from Precision Components but he went out of business. So I finished up the last of the Precision Components vintage and opened the Magnus. Lube is all over the place, loads my...

In the thread "Unarmed Cops in Britain...... no respect" http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=451040 BlueTrain Said the following: As forums go this one is very civil. Forums on the internet I believe give proof to Heinlein's statement. I see people talk to each other in ways...

How may of you have relocated out of your home State because the gun laws are too restrictive? It's getting to the point where I'm starting to do that very thing. Had to jump through hoops to get my permit. Can't have larger than 10 rnd mags. Can't have evil "Assault Weapons". Have the honor of...

M&P 360 = $869 Model 360 (Talo Exclusive?) = $649 As far as I can see they are the same except for the front sight. Anything else different? What/ Why "Talo Exclusive"?
