I own a 12g Remington Wingmaster 2 3/4 in. only. It has a 28" barrel. First and foremost I want to cut the barrel down to a suitable HD firearm, but want it still to be useful for hunting birds. Would a good inbetween be 22" or 24"? If HD was your first priority? Hunting? Let me know..

I have a Remington 700 CDL in .270 that has no glasses. I need to get a scope for it, but my wife is already mad that I bought the gun itself :o I got a bonus check from work (that the wife doesn't know about) for $184, and am wondering.. what's the best scope I can buy for $184 ($200 TOPS)...

I've heard that dry firing guns is just a bad habit in general, but is it not true that it's bad for rimfire, but not so much center-fire? Would dry firing a high powered rifle (i.e. .270, .30-06, etc.) harm the firing pin?

The title says it all. I'm extremely tempted to get a .270 WSM.. as long as the cartridges will be around for awhile (and not cost 5x as much as traditional ammo).. how do you feel about the future of this round? Thanks!! ~Jake.

I put the used Remington 700 BDL on layaway, but could always switch to the new Tikka T3 they have clearanced for only $50 more. I know they're both good prices, but which one is the better sale? They're both in .30-06. The Remington's wooden stock shows it's been used a little more than...

I know next to nothing about rifles. I know even less about scopes. My plan is to buy a Remington 700 (either BDL or CDL) within the next couple weeks, and I have no idea what kind of glasses to buy it. Does anyone have any advice as far as a decent, bang-for-your-buck, all purpose scope...

A salesman at the gun store I shop at told me that this is the last year Remington will be selling the 700 BDL. No more from the factory, and in fact it won't be in the catalog next year. Buy up those beautiful blued babies!!

I'm looking to buy a new barrel for an older Wingmaster I own. It only fires 2 3/4", so does Remington even make an 18 or 20" replacement barrel in blue that's labeled for 2 3/4" only?

There are just so many options for the 700.. this will be my first "step-up" rifle (I've owned .22s and .22mags in the past, but need to move up). I live in Nebraska, so I'm torn between the .270 and .30-06 calibers (good for the medium sized game here), and have no idea about the plethora of...

is it normal for the rounds to have room enough to rattle back and forth in a revolver cylinder? My Smith 65 leaves a very small amount of space whilst loaded, but it's enough to let the rounds move if I rock the gun back and forth. Is this a problem?

what should I expect to pay for a gently used or new Ruger SP101, a carry Smith, a carry Sig, etc? I'm not set on a semi or revolver yet, just curious as to the different prices I'd be looking at. Thanks ~Jake.

Sig 232.. any better than the Walther PPK? if so, is it worth the price difference?

Growing up I heard nothing but good things about Smith and Wesson revolvers. As a child/teenager I assumed they were the Mercedes of handguns. I've since learned that Colts have always been kind of the top of the game for decades. Regardless, I still feel like people put a lot more stock in...

I am looking (have been for a while) into getting myself an Uberti or Ruger single action. I own a K frame Smith in .357, so I suppose the logical choice for caliber would be .357 as far as ammo interchangeability goes. But I keep telling myself that's kind of against the whole spirit of...

I really like the .357, but it does seem a little overkill. How many of you prefer the .38 or .38+P to the .357 in smaller frames? I'm thinking about trading my .357 K frame for a .38 J frame (both pre-lock- hopefully). What do you guys think? p.s. (knowing I might have to cough up a few...

I've heard that shooting lots of .38 rounds out of a .357 will cause pitting and scoring b/c of the 1/10 of an inch difference in caliber lengths. I recently shot a box and a half through my K frame Smith, and when I came home, there were neat little lines toward the end of each cylinder. Is...

hey, I'm in need of a IWB holster for a Smith 65-4. It would be nice if it was under $30 or so, so leather's probably out. Any suggestions? ~Jake.

Is there a website where I can find out the age of my used S&W revolver by serial number search? I know this exists for other brands (my Remington shotgun), but couldn't find anything like that for Smiths. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey all, I know the polishing stainless steel thread has been done into the ground, but I was at Wally World today and saw a polish called Maas. How does this compare to Flitz? And besides that, where can I find Flitz (I've looked a few places, no one has it)? Will this Maas stuff do the...

Hey guys, was at the sporting goods store yesterday, and in the gun area, there's a room with relic and collectable firearms under glass. Well, I saw a Colt 1911 WWI that said it was unfired (this gun looked brand new!). $1295 was the asking price. Now, I'm assuming this is a repro. model...
