    Marlin 795 Review

    Much has been said of late about this rifle, due to its low Mosin-like price. In the Great Recession, its good to be able to find cheap guns where possible. I bought my 795 back in 2010, and it has a 2009 s/n. I had heard about the problems with crooked scope rails, but mine was straight as an...

    The Best There Is...

    For a lefty with only $1000 to spend on a rifle and a scope? I think Browning's new X-Bolt Hunter with a Nikon Buckmaster is about the best sub-1000 dollar setup I could do for a new lefty bolt action. Anything else?

    Remington Model 8/Model 81 Woodsmaster

    Do any of you hunt with this model? Does it feed reliably? I would think so, considering that John Browning drew it up. Is it hard to mount a scope on it?

    Pine Scented Bore Butter

    I bought the green-tubed bore butter, which T/C claims is pine scented.....well, its not. But I sure do like green better than yeller. I also bought 100 Hornady .490 round balls based on yall's suggestion. The next step of course is some range time. I'll keep yall posted & take pics.

    Triple 7 or Pyrodex?

    We don't see much Goex or Swiss around here. What results can I expect out of my T/C 50 cal. Hawken and non-black powder propellant?

    In the first story of the book, "The Greatest Hunting Stories Ever Told", Ben East writes of a true account of hunting the great polar bear with a Savage 99 chambered in 300 Savage. The e-book is online here...

    Remington R-15?

    Who makes these for Remington? I like this carbine: ...but I'd rather pay a little less and have a black colored carbine, with the same flat top, smooth-vented forearm, the whole bit.

    To Lust After a Rifle.....

    ...that I cannot have!!! Oh, by hook or by crook! I want this liitle gun! (but I just bought a limited run Marlin 30TK) Man she's clean. I think I can just fight it off by insisting to myself that her barrel is shot out or bent in some way...

    New Model 70

    Do the new South Carolina-made rifles have "Made in Columbia, South Carolina" stamped on the barrel? I saw a new Featherlite at a gunshop in Fayetteville, NC that had "Made in Idaho" stamped on the barrel.

    New To The T/C Hawken Rifle

    Hello folks. I am about to get serious about black powder. I've got a bunch of maxiballs, some Goex FFFg, #11 caps, a T/C powder measuring tool, some store bought grease for the maxiballs, and 2 T/C Hawken Rifles. What else should I need? How do you know how much powder is in the measuring tool...

    Best/Favorite Obsolete Hunting Cartridge

    What is the most useful obsolete cartridge out there? By obsolete, I mean a cartridge that is no longer being chambered in most new rifles. And by useful, I mean it could and should be around today based on its performance against a similar cartridge that may have run it out of town. The 30-40...

    SHOT Show? Anybody there?

    Is anyone at the SHOT show??? I've heard that Winchester will be offering the 94 again. Is this just in fancy high grade, or will there be a blue collar offering?

    Best Old School Deer Gun

    What is the best of the best? I'm talkin' deer guns made before 1970. I have a few that really stick out in my mind. The Savage 99, Winchester 94, Remington 141 & 14, Reminton 760, the Marlin 336, the M70, the 700. My favorite has to be that old Remington pump, the 14 & 141. The twisted...

    30-30 Get's no respect!

    The 30-30 get's no respect from the new generation of whitetail hunters. Whenever you see a newcomer looking for a rifle, its as though he/she has been mentally pre-ingrained with the sage wisdom that a 30-30 bullet will just bounce off of deer. A rookie is more likely to choose a 7 mag than a...

    If this rifle could talk, what would she say? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=151950288 "Please help me. I can kill deer, I swear before God, I can & have" I would picker'up if she was a local gal. :D

    Useful (less?) Hunting Cartridges.

    North American game only here. What is the most useful cartridge to hit the scene since the outing of Remington's 260 in 1997? In my mind, which is limited I'm sure, there is nothing. The 300WSM and the 270WSM are neat, but what do they do? I can think of zero niche here. What does a WSM do that...
