I don't know why I seem to like the ugly firearms. I owned a Ruger M77 MK II (boat paddle) 270 for decades (i miss that rifle). Was browsing Cabelas online to find something to use my points on -- CZ 600 caught my eye. https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-600-alpha/ A CZ 600 Alpha in 308 is on...

Recently, I purchased a lifetime hunting and fishing license. If you are like me - you sometimes can't find your license. Well, problem solved - There is an app for your phone which lets you keep your license digitally with you at all times. It's the DWR app for your state. I'm very happy as i...

https://www.alaskapublic.org/2022/02/09/moose-attacks-iditarod-rookies-sled-team-injures-4-dogs/ I've always heard about how dangerous Moose are. Never hunted one but have taken several pictures (from a distance). The musher says at the end of the article that she has upgraded to a more...

I bought a Glock 26 way back in 95 and thought it was the absolute best CCW firearm of its time. 10 rounds in a 20 some oz compact package. Lived in Sierra Vista AZ then. You could shoot anywhere a quarter mile away from homes and roads - my officer friends and I shot up the desert on a weekly...

I’ve finally bought the Combo - weighing powder has always been my least favorite (slowest) part of reloading. Any tips on this dream machine? I feel like I got a great deal -Cabelas has the combo on sale at $299 and there is also a $100 mail in rebate through November...

Has anybody used one of these? Or seen one in person? http://masterofskulls.com/store/details.php?prodId=61&category=&secondary=&keywords=skull%20master I shot a decent buck this year. Probably will never spend the money for a taxidermist and just don't feel like doing the work for a european...

I finally came up on a PMR-30 wait list. I haven't shot this handgun yet because I'm undecided on keeping or selling it (I am feeling buyers remorse because I overpaid). Loaded with 30 22 WMR rounds the handgun weighs 19.8 oz (lighter than my CM9 loaded with 7 rounds). I've read that the...

Asking for help to identify a list of 6.8 SPC brass brands and their primer pocket sizes. I am reloading for a TC Contender. Have 50 pieces of Remington brass and was a little suprised to see that the Remington brass use a large rifle primer - my Hornady reloading manual calls for a small rifle...

I want to add some pictures of a handgun that I never could find substantial info on - Thompson Center G2 Contender in .410/45 Colt. The barrel is 14”. This configuration weighs 3.5 lbs. The recoil is not bad and I can fire this handgun with one hand. Sometimes people complain about the...

Have you ever damaged a firearm unexpectedly? Spilled/splattered a can of Red Bull on my work bench. Thought I cleaned up the spill. Noticed about 6 hours later that my LCP had been splashed with Red Bull. Wiped it off and the blueing came off.

Post Pics: Duck and sausage gumbo over rice - nice.

and if I believe the billboard I saw - the murderers are going to use a blood dripping semi-automatic. But if I believe the news the hunters will use suppressed rifles after the park closes. I'm talking about Shawnee Mission Park, KS. Overpopulation of deer. I hope they get the sorry buck...

The below picture is of a Carbine Oiler. As you can see it is small. I just picked this one up. It is my second. I like it because it is indestructable - made of steel and the cap doesn't come off until you want it to. The little metal rod will put a single drop of oil precisely where I...

Semi-automatic 995 High Point MSRP $220, weight 7 lbs, length – 32 ½ “ Lever action Marlin 1894C MSRP $590, weight 6 lbs, length – 36” The 1894C is longer than the 995. The 995 is wider than the 1894C. The 995 has a peep rear sight and post front. I can pick up a target faster with a peep...

Someone is always going to know something I don't. Just because I have used a 3", 2 oz, #4 turkey load successfully for years doesn't make it the best turkey load. If I pattern my shotgun, I'll know my true range. Limbsaver recoil pads work. I've never replaced a recoil pad in my life, until...

and or opinions. http://www.tcarms.com/firearms/encoreShotguns.php I've been thinking about getting a dedicated turkey shotgun. I was wondering if anyone knows how this shotgun patterns? I own more than one shotgun so I don't need it to do anything other than shoot turkey, but, I was wondering...

Think again - I'm not a criminal - but apparently it is pretty easy for neer do wells to pop a trunk. In the photo of the rental car there is a small hole punched in next to the lock on the trunk (probably a screwdriver). Took seconds to open, thief(s) grabbed backpacks and vanished. At the...

I have Speer reloading manual # 14. I am loading 223, 55 grain, SP with IMR 4064. Per the manual starting charge is 24.5 grains and the max is 26.5. The 26.5 is not marked as a compressed load. The below picture is of the 24.5 starting load. I thought my weight was off - double, triple...
