Now that I have my Ruger Single Six in .32 Magnum, I want to get a rifle to go along with it. I figure that a lever action rifle goes with a single action revolver sort of like peanut butter goes with jelly. Here is what I am thinking. I want a small rifle, or a carbine to be exact. I want it...

Is the .250 Savage and the .300 Savage the same case? Can one be used to make the other?

How many of you bird hunters have patterned your shotguns? Those that have, how extensively and scientifically was it? I have to admit, the few patterns tests I have done were rather crude. Sort of like trying to sight in a deer rifle off-hand on a distant rock. I used to hunt with this guy...

I now the safety rule for crossing fences alone and with others. Step one is unload the gun. If the gun is one that hinges open to load or unload, would having the gun open be good enough. I guess if there are rounds in the chamber(s) the gun is technically loaded, but a shotgun, like an...

I have never been one to duck hunt, mainly cause I didn't like the taste of the bird. Today I was at cousins for dinner. One item on the menu was duck. He had shot it yesterday. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious, not greasy, not oily, not gamey in the least. He wouldn't tell me his...

This week, several of us shooters are going to gather up Jack-O-Lanterns from our neighbors. We are then going to take them out into the desert. Each of us will take several firearms. We will then proceed to blast away. I am going to call this natural recycling.

A CCW allows concealed carry in public. On ones private property no permit is needed for that, at least not in most states. What about unlicensed carry on someone else's private property. Lets say you are given permission to go fishing on someone's land. Can you carry concealed without a permit...

Why do some people say that if you let a birddog help hunt rabbits that it wll ruin her for feathers? I was looking up German Shorthair Pointers the other day. In Germany, this breed is used for bird hunting, small game hunting, big game hunting, and even vermon dispatching. All one dog. In...

I live in the high desert. There are miles and miles of areas to explore. I go every chance I get. There are two things I take when I go. One is my dog and the other is a handgun. I have semi-autos and revovlers. I almost always take a wheelgun when I go. I guess I am more comfortable with them...

No, this is not a thread asking whether this round is good for deer or any animal for that matter, it is a queation about the cartridge itself. Has there been any long guns made for this round other then the WWII carbine? I know there are a couple of handguns chambered for this round. But I...

How many of the guns that you currently have were purchased on the spur of the moment? This is a gun that you did not plan on buying. This is a gun you didn't even think you needed. You walked into a gun shop or a gun show not even planning on buying anything. Then you see it, a gun catches...

I am a hunter as most of you know. I kill animals. I have no qualms about anyone killing an animal in legal and ehtical manners. What I can't stand is seeing people treating animals in a cruel manner. The way some poeple treat animals makes my blood boil. I have always wondered if this makes me...

I just got done reading an article from an older issue of Handloader Magazine. It was about the .17 Remington Fireball cartridge. This article has me interested in 17 caliber centerfire rifles. The article seemed to be fair, it did address both the pros and cons of this cartridge. But I want to...

Yesterday I had two birds flush no more then a few feet from me. I couldn't shoot. The Sun was smack straight in my eyes, if the birds were the size of elks I still couldn't have done a thing. I do wear sunglasses. I wear cheap ones that I buy at drug stores. One reason is that I am hard on...

http://www.savagearms.com/ I realize that this video is an advertisement to sell guns. But, it is an amazing shot none the less. The cartridge of the rifle used is not mentioned. Any guesses of what it could be?

I was at one of our local gun shops today. They had a Remington Model 81 in .35 Remington. The gun was in near mint condition. Anyone have experience with this gun and/or cartridge?

What is the maximum range that I can drop a deer with my Red Ryder BB Gun? I realize that there are guns with more power, but how many of them hold 650 rounds of ammo? Should I go for a heart or head shot? The gun has factory open sights on it. I am thinking of installing a "Nikon" class scope...

I have never used an RL powder in any of my reloading. Not on purpose, but I just haven't. I use Hodgdon most of the time. Looking at my reloading manuals I see that certain RL powders might work well for some of the cartridges I reload for. However, with the cost of powder, I'd hate to buy a...

Can .32 S&W Long dies be used to reload .32 H&R magnum rounds?

Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment in Reno. While there, I am going by this gun shop. I am going to buy a Ruger Blackhawk. At this place, they have one in just about every chambering made. They even have one in .30 Carbine and one in .32 Magnum. I can't decide which chambering to get. This...
