    Scope for my .300 H&H

    Recently picked up a LNIB Model 70 in .300 H&H with a 24" barrel. I'd like some input as to what optic to mount on it. Fixed or variable, and what power. Thanks in advance

    The .300 WSM, How good is it?

    When the WSM line of calibers came out this and the .270 WSM seem to be the most popular and worthwhile as well as lasting. So my question is just how good a cartridge is the .300 WSM? Bullet weight will be the 150 and 165 with primary being the 150. Target animals are deer and hogs at anywhere...

    Kel Tec P11

    I've had and carry mine for quite some time. Very reliable for conceal carry. My only complaint is of course the trigger. By design it's double action only and although I practice with it regularly, I'd like to get the trigger a bit softer. Anyone have work done on theirs? As it's a carry gun it...

    7mm Weatherby Magnum

    I'm looking at a custom Mauser 98 in 7mm Weatherby Magnum. Besides that I like a custom Mauser I've always been interested in the Weatherby cartridges. So, besides being expensive how are they in real world performance? I'm not replacing a rifle, and I have a 300 WSM, a .264 Win mag, and of...

    Rem R1 Enhanced High-cap?

    One of my friends asked me if I've seen an R1 Enhanced High-Capacity model. First I've heard. I know Remington took over/bought Para Ord, but haven't seen or heard of a high capacity model. Any info on this?

    .300 H&H Semi-auto?

    Getting an idea here for a possible custom build. Does anyone currently make or made a semi-auto rifle (Browning style comes to mind) in .300 H&H caliber? I know there's a bunch of other calibers available with similar or better performance but that's not the idea here. Thoughts?

    The .400 Corbon

    I was looking at getting something different as I have pretty much all the 'standard' calibers. If I understand this correctly, I can use .400 Corbon in my Sig 220 with just a barrel change? Basically any .45 caliber handgun just needs the barrel change? What about recoil springs? Any experience...

    Mauser M66

    I admit I don't know much about this rifle. But I saw one at my gunshop and was very taken by it. So what's the history on this rifle? The one I saw, and am looking at, is in .270 Win. Any experience with this rifle?

    BAR replacement forearm

    Ok, nothing wrong with mine. I just like a schnabel style and was wondering if anyone makes a replacement with this style?

    .30-40 rechamber?

    I don't reload, I should and probably will soon, but here's a question to get things started. I have a 1898 Springfield in .30-40 Krag. I understand that brass is available and that British .303 brass can also be used to reload. Can the .30-40 be rechambered to something else more available? Is...

    .30-40 Krag for hogs?

    I recently shot a 1898 Springfield a friend owns. Kind of loved it. I have a sporterized 1903 in .30-06 that we did a side-by-side. Besides using up a lot of ammo I came to the conclusion (wait for it) that I want a 1898 to keep my '03 company. So, I've used my '03 on hogs. No problem. But for...

    .338 Federal

    Ok, really like this caliber. Enough to start shopping a rifle (bolt action). So, what's the real world experience with it? Not a caliber preference argument, just performance. Any help will be appreciated.

    Bersa Thunder Night Sights

    Love my .380 Thunder. And just got around to thinking that it doesn't have night sights. So, who makes night sights for this?

    Barrel length/performance 20" v 22"

    Need some help here. Am looking to get a Ruger M77 in .257 Roberts. The question is what kind of performance difference is there between a 20" and 22" barrel? Shooting distance should be under 200 yards. Stand shooting at deer and hogs. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Scope for a .257 Roberts

    Finally going to put a scope on a .257 Roberts (Ruger M77). Trying to decide between a fixed power or variable. Either a 6x or a 2 x 7. Most shots should no further than 150 yds give or take. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    6.8 SPC, did it go away?

    I haven't seen or heard much on the 6.8 SPC lately. It seems to never really have caught on. I saw a Mini 14 in this caliber at a recent gun show and it sold in less time than I could get my checkbook from my car. As for an AR, I haven't seen one. So what happened? I always liked the idea but I...

    .38 Super a choice for self-defense?

    The more I read and look into the .38 Super the more I'm liking it. I have 380, 9's, 40, 45, etc. but no Super. As a defense load a 125 grain JHP at 1250 fps or better seems to me matches 357 mag performance in a more controllable (1911) platform. So why isn't the Super more popular outside of...

    Sig / Browning .45 mag

    Ok, my ignorance is showing here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, the Sig 220 and the Browning BDA in .45 use the same magazine? Except for the location of the magazine release they're the same gun. Thanks.
