    Thoughts on the Zeiss Conquest line of scopes?

    I'm looking at a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor that comes with a Zeiss Conquest Hd5 5-25x50 scope. It's the magnification I want, but don't have much experience with the Zeiss Conquest scope line. They seem to have decent reviews, but wondering if people here have them and what their...

    Revolver Hunters: Scope or Red Dot

    I'll be buying a Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 mag w/ a 7.5" bbl from a friend who's selling his for a good price. I'm going to set it up as a hunter, but while doing some research I'm seeing a number of hunters moving to red dots instead of scopes. So what is your choice and why? Also, if you...

    Who owns a Western Rig?

    If so what do you have and how do you like it? Have a nice blued Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt that screaming for a leather home. Though I'm either seeing rigs that are junk or that cost $400 plus. Has to be a middle somewhere for a beginner.

    What 45LC for rifle do you prefer?

    In a buy/sell/trade I acquired a very nice Uberti 1860 Henry in 45LC/Colt imported by Navy Arms. She has a nice 24.5 octagon barrel and the lever action is very smooth. So I was looking at different ammo and am wondering for anyone who has a rifle in 45LC, what grain bullet you get the best...

    Anyone own a Uberti 1860 Henry Rifle?

    If you do, how do you like it? Looking at one imported by Navy Arms and the action is pretty smooth. Plus it's sharp looking with the brass receiver and octagon bbl. Much better then the Rossi I have. It's in 45 LC, which I have plenty of so I'm definitely interested. Reviews seem to be very...

    Value thoughts on 10/22 in PreBan Krinker Plinker

    Sooo, I may have over extended just a tad with buying two grail items that have been on my list for a long time. So that means something, or possible multiple somethings have to go. One item that has been sitting in my safe for a long time is a 10/22 in a pre-ban Krinker Plinker stock with the...

    BYF 43 RC K98 Ammo/Range Report

    Finally was able to acquire a nice BYF 43 Russian Capture K98 last weekend for a little under $400. It came with a period correct sling as well as the cleaning rod and front site hood. Though I believe the hood is a reproduction. Bore/rifling/crown are in good shape as well. Took her to...

    What 8x57 / 8mm Mauser Ammo for K98?

    I'm in the process of trying to find some decent 8x57 / 8mm Mauser that will be used in a 1943 K98 and I'm seeing a ton of different options being listed. Many, like early Yugo is hard to find while others like PPU is readily available. I've also seen some Romanian steel cased for sale. Not sure...

    Thoughts on Burris vs. Vortex?

    I just recently picked up a Gen II Ruger Precision Rifle and I've narrowed my scope search down to the Vortex Viper PST Gen II in 5-25x50 FFP with EBR-2C MRAD reticle or the Burris XTR II 5-25x50 FFP with the SCR Mil reticle. I have Vortex Viper PST on a different platform and it works well...

    School me on Webley Revolvers

    At the last gun show I attended I picked up a Webley revolver just to check it out and of course now I want one. So before I start the hunt I'm looking for some information on them. What's your thoughts on the model, what should I look for (both good and bad) when looking at one. I already know...

    Thank You to Ibmikey

    Wanted to send out a Thank you to Ibmikey for helping me with my Star BM. While shooting it the slide stop broke and it's near impossible to find replacement parts for this handgun. I posted on here asking if anyone knew of a place that has one to sell. Ibmikey reached out indicating he had a...

    Obscure gun parts - Star BM Slide Stop Release

    Anyone know of some sites that sell obscure parts for older guns? I have an old Star BM that is in need of a replacement slide stop release. The one I have gave out. I've done a ton of searching and haven't been able to find one as of yet in the normal sites, so I guess it's time to start...

    Massachusetts Legal Attack: Sweeping Gun Ban Enacted

    For those of you yet to hear the Mass AG just declared war on all Mass FFLs and gun owners who own AR-15s. The AG has reinterpreted the state's AWB to mean copies and duplication of banned guns. This basically outlaws all firearms that have a detachable magazine. This is no joke as it was a...

    Would you trade a Glock 26 for a Para P12-45 Limited

    I have a Glock 26 that has been a safe queen ever since I picked up a Kahr PM9 as my primary carry piece. But, I've always kept the G26 in case I ever have a problem with the Kahr. Lately though I've been thinking of trading it. (As I don't have a lot of spare cash) I came across a deal where...

    Torn-Should I sell My SA Champion for an STI Trojan 5.0 1911?

    Ok, let me start this by saying that in Mass, where I live, you cannot buy a new Springfield Armory or STI due to our oh so nice Attorney General, so having one in this state is a semi-rare thing and they demand a premium when sold. With that said, I have been lucky enough to own a SA...

    AimPoint CompM

    Does anyone have an AimPoint CompM Red Dot, not the M2 but the original M, that they are using? I'm looking at one but I've noticed that they are a discontinued model. Are these still great to use models or were they replaced because they were lacking? The one I'm interested in is only...

    Bushmaster carbine vs 20' Target Rifle

    Ok, I'm going to get a Bushmaster but I'm unsure which model will be best. I like the looks of the M4 carbine but from reading recent posts it would seem that you get better accuracy and longer distance with the 20' Target model. I'm going to get the detachable A3 carry handle on the one I...
