I am in the process of working up a load for this rifle . Before I can do that I have a loading problem that I "may" have fixed but I am looking for better help . The rounds that I loaded were .44Mag SWC at 1.610 or a bit less . For some reason when I try to put them into the tube they very...

I went to the range to sight in my new rifle . A 1894 SS Marlin in .44 . I set the target at 50 yards . I got my "X" axis (left to right in pretty quick . My height was next . I moved the rear sight one notch down and got just above the center hole . I then dropped it down one more and shot in...

I saw a review of a rifle once that I've never seen again . It was from Switzerland or Austria (I believe) . It was about 30 inches long with the receiver mounted at the back . Next to the shooters cheek as it looked like to me . The trigger was still mounted where a conventional trigger would...

Is it possible to put a double trigger on a Remington 700 ?

I saw an ad on The Outdoor Channel that intriqued me . It showed a slo-mo picture of a rifle firing and the twisting that the barrel was subjected to . UNREAL! Then they showed a deal that fit over the barrel that looked (at first) like a sock tied around the barrel. It seemed to absorb much of...

I work with a former Marine Corporal . One day we were sitting around talking about hitting a target far away . Not really sniper stuff but I guess it would fit there too . I told him that I saw on History Channel (or one like that) about a new weapon used by snipers . The M-24 "I Think" . The...

Yesterday I received a tape from the NRA .It's about 10 guns in history . They offered me several options . Keep it and pay nothing . Keep it and pay $9 . Send it back postage paid by them . I would like to keep the tape and feel I should pay for it . Problem is that by sending the $9 I also...

I watched the news and saw something about a granny waving a gun during a parade in Texas . When ordered to put it down she complied . The officer then instructed her to turn around and he started to cuff her . Then he grabbed her and slammed her onto the ground . Did any of you see anything to...

While stopped at a light this morning there were 2 cars in front of me . One in my lane and the other in the next lane . One had a Kerry/Edwards sticker on it . It also had another that said "Health Care Is A Right Not A Priveledge". The other cars stickers were "W04" and "USMC - When America...

A friend of mine told me that Ruger had a problem with some Ruger pistols . He said that they will fix it . I have a Ruger New Model Single Six .22 Caliber . Serial number 261-189XX . He mentioned something about "3 screw" . Is there something that I should know ? Thank you .

I saw a movie with Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones . Hackman was used to get Jones into the country as a prisoner using a different name . Hackman was unaware of the ruse . There was a brawl in a mens room where Jones escaped . The plot of the movie was for Jones to shoot the Pres. of Russia ...

While in AZ a couple of years ago I happened upon a fella at a Business Expo . As you all know AZ has an open carry law . Of course there are certain exceptions but for the most part you can "pack". Now this fella had an auto in a holster outside of his shirt . He was also wearing a vest . Now...

Went to a swap meet in Kingman AZ a few months ago . Saw a gun for sale among about a jillion other saleable items . I asked about any special stuff I had to do to buy the gun and the old boy said "Well , you gotta pay for it." Now am I to understand that this is the law in AZ or was there more...

I have a simple question that I have not as yet heard asked . With all the zero tolerance at schools where a finger can be a gun , medical personnel making a big deal about guns in the home and politicians in general doing the same crap , will anyone be able to use a gun in 20 years ? They say...

An SUV stolen in Bellflower CA contained 6 weapons . flak jacket and badge number 884 . Some gangbanger is the Cock O' The Walk right about now .

I have heard a lot about storing up food and ammo . I don't think it can hurt to be ready . I do have one question . If one stores up ammo how long will the ammo be good for ? I have heard about "old" ammo but never knew how old that would be . Does the caliber or primer vs. rimfire play a part ?

Having spent time there in the Army and later as a prospector I remember how much importance was attached to guns . You go 2 miles out of town and God knows what you will meet up with . It is a matter of common sense to be prepared . Soooooo with all the precautions being taken today how do...

As we all know common sense says to err on the side of caution . The feds seem to want to err on the side of storming the wrong house and shooting the wrong guy . So with this in mind I have a simple question . Can I get a report on myself BEFORE I try to buy another weapon (It's been a while)...

Got 2 opinions from 2 folks that "know their stuff" about weapons but not this application . Coyote hunting in the praries . The .22-250 is supposed to be a flat trajectory for 300+ yards . The .222 is supposed to hit far targets as well . I guess I need input from varmint hunters . Any body home ?

Having carried an M-14 my experience with .223 is non-existant . I have 2 questions . What are the diameters of the shell casings ? What is the relationship of the powder in each load on the average ? That is to ask , how much more powder is found propelling the .30-30 than is used for the .223...
