Sorry guys for not checking in sooner, been preoccupied with our hearing at DEA. I've been itching to shoot, especially since I just picked up a Remmington 700 PSS .308 recently. Is a Saturday shoot, late morning or early afternoon, convenient for everyone? With the hearing phase over, my...

I'm looking into purchasing a single-shot handgun for long range plinking, silhouette, and hopefully deer hunting this winter. I have a choice of calibers, however I'm not sure if there is one that will enable me to do all three of these activities. Here are the calibers available for the...

My wife disagrees with me on where I would like to place my gun safe (approx. 5'x3'x1.5'). I would like it put in our ground-floor level storage closet. She wants it in the garage. If it goes into the closet, we would have to spend time rearranging it and looking for other storage areas for...

I received their 32-page catalog last night. They have some good prices for a couple of C&R rifles I'd like to get. However, I've never heard of them. Has anyone dealt with Centerfire? Thanks. Centerfire Systems, Inc. Versailles, KY http://www.centerfiresystems.com/

Apparently Richard Cohen, an Opinion Columnist with the Wash Post, has some issues: "Forget about the rifles -- they are rarely a menace. (Rifles and shotguns outnumber handguns 2 to 1, the Violence Policy Center says, but it's handguns that account for most of the killings.) What's the...

I don't know if this has been recently discussed. However, a new moive depicting the sniper duel between Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law) and Major Konig (Ed Harris) is scheduled for release in March 2001. The trailer looks promising. Enemy at the Gates Trailer

I'd like to start collecting old firearms from the early 1900s to WWII. My C&R license is pending with ATF. The oldest rifle I own is a nice M1 Garand I obtained through the CMP. My question concerns the use of "modern" ammo in old rifles, those that may be 50+ years old. I thought I read...

I'm sending my license application (ATF 7CR) in tomorrow morning. I'd like to know if you encountered any problems or if the process was easy. I live in Fairfax County. Thanks.

My local range has a new Sig Trailside PL 22 Competition (with 6" barrel, adjustable sight, and 2-tone adjustable competition grip) for $529. Is this a good price? I searched the TFL boards and found others purchased their Trailsides alittle cheaper, but don't know the model. Any assistance...

I was watching an outdoors show over the weekend and this fellow took an 11 point buck with a handgun using handgun caliber ammo. I thought that might give it a try. What type of handgun, scope, and ammo do you use. What would be the effective range too? Thinking about using a similar type...

With the Moderators' permission, I'd like to re-print this lengthy DOJ letter in its entirty. I apologize in advance for this post is too long. I was going to edit the letter, however I changed my mind because I thought the letter should appear in full. I'm a member of the Virginia Shooting...

I searched the forum without finding anything to answer this: "What choke sizes do you use or recommend for trap, skeet, and sporting clays?" I've got a 12 ga Beretta o/u with 28" barrels that arrived with the standard 3 chokes IC, M, and F. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Spent a brisk and sunny Sunday participating in the Bull Run Shooting Center's 6th Annual Battle of Bull Run (Sporting Clays) in Centerville, Virginia. The event consisted of 12 to 13 stations (I lost count) with each person firing 100 rounds during the day. Sporting clays is still all new to...

Spend the better part of Sunday out at the Bull Run Shooting Center in Centerville, Virginia and participated in their annual Iron Man Shoot. The course of fire consisted of 10 rounds of shooting and a case of 12 ga ammo (250 rounds). The 10 rounds included: 2 rounds of Wobble Trap, 2 rounds...

http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56258-2000Sep21.html I'd like to hear Lieberman explain this while standing up for Gore's ant-gun movement. "Vice presidential candidate Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) has a long record of support for gun control, making him a convincing advocate for...

Now how did I miss this, "Yahoo! Fantasy Careers in Today's Military Contest" back in May 2000? Check out the article: http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52782-2000Sep11.html

Does anyone own or shoot the Beretta Target 87? Looking for any reviews, likes, or dislikes. I recently saw an ad for it in Guns & Ammo. I'm looking for a .22 cal pistol and this one might do. I haven't seen it in any of out local shops. Can anyone give me an estimated retail price as well...

If anyone knows of any upcoming IDPA or PPC events around Northern Virginia, could you please let me know. Haven't had a chance to contact the NRA Range in Fairfax, that's my next stop. Thanks.
