    Southern Appalachia Trail and Open Carry

    I'm going to South Carolina to support my nephew who will be graduating from Army basic this summer. While in the south I'd like to hike a bit of the AT. Probably just a bit, maybe camp 1-2 nights at most due to the fact that most of my vacation days are going to be used up during hunting...

    Suggest an air rifle

    -I really want one that is accurate (who doesn't?). -A decent trigger would be a plus (shot my nephews Gamo and trigger was crappy). -.177 cal for pellet availability; I'm o ly getting for small game/plinking in hunting camp and pest control around the home. -quiet would be a plus, though I...

    S&W 500 magnum grip

    I also like the look of stainless and ivory (even if it isn't real ivory). Post a pic when you get the new grips on.

    How to "unpolish" a Ruger Vaquero?

    I'll also show off the crossdraw holster I picked up in Cody. I ordered a big wide gun belt with cartridge loops from Shamrock in Colorado to go with this holster. And I ordered a Galco Wheelgunner holster to go with my every day gun belt for when the big belt is just too much. Either rig...

    How to "unpolish" a Ruger Vaquero?

    That DIY bead blast looks much easier and cheaper than I would have guessed. I did the sandpaper thing and settled on 800 grit.

    How to "unpolish" a Ruger Vaquero?

    Or more properly, how can I just dull the finish around the sights of my Bisley New Vaquero? I took my new toy to the range and was having a tough time getting good groups, best six shot groups were 8". Primarily because the sun was at such an angle to cause a glare. I really like the mirror...

    Ruger Blackhawk knockabout varmint gun (30 vs 357)

    I'm trying to decide between two chamberings for the Blackhawk. I have already identified some pros and cons for the two. -357 Magnum in 6 1/2" (I'd be looking at the 7 1/2" if they made one) Pros- 1-can double as a close range deer pistol 2-would work for OC situations for two legged varmints...

    AR-15 paint job

    Just finished painting it the other day, thought I'd share. Now if they try to take away evil black rifles I'm good to go.

    XS XTI 45° offset sights

    http://www.xssights.com/index.php?nID=sights&cID=Sights&pID=sights Anyone have these? I have a 1-5 scope on my rifle so I'm covered for when I plan on close shots but like that I could have it turned up to 5 for calling coyotes in the distance but be able to quickly switch to irons for the...

    .45 Colt Shotshells w/444 Marlin Cases

    I've found a lot of info on making pistol shotshells but never a step by step. This is what I've done. It throws a pretty nice pattern to 30' with a 4 5/8" bbl Blackhawk and an excellent pattern to the same 30' with my snubnose SRH Alaskan .454. I initially did the same without a wad but found...

    Small Game Loads for Big Game Rifle

    Col. Townsend Whelen was an early pioneer in developing small game loads for the big game rifle specifically for wilderness hunts. Here is a stab at it. -Rifle is a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 30-06 with 18” barrel and Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm Ultra light in Talley rings. This rifle shoots 1 MOA...

    Stag 3L review

    I picked up a Stag 3L (AR-15) and set it up for predator hunting. I find the 16" barrel and collapsable stock to be quite handy when slung across my back and riding my snow machine through trees. It's also comfortable to carry this way as the side of the rifle that lays against my back (right...

    USPSA multigun question

    My local range is putting on a few multigun (3 gun) matches this spring/summer. I really want to try it out (1st timer) but have a question... I have the stuff to shoot either tactical/limited or heavy metal but I'll be shooting with at least one handicap either way. Shooting Tactical/Limited...

    Weaver 1-5x24mm Super Slam Dangerous Game on AR?

    http://http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=WE849352 Anybody have one? I'm thinking of putting one on the AR-15 I'll be picking up real soon. I was looking at a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20mm but the Weaver has a little wider FOV at 1 power and the 30mm tube should...

    .223 Rem dies and 5.56 NATO brass?

    Is it safe/adviseable to use .223 rem dies with 5.56mm NATO brass? My local gun shop will give me a good deal on some Lake City (match? I think that's what he said) brass, I'm pretty sure it's 5.56mm NATO.
