    Colt Double Eagle

    I've always been interested in this gun. But never had the chance to check one out much less shoot it. Have a chance to add one to my collection. Good idea or not? How's the quality and reliability on these? The one I'm looking at is the 5" Government size.

    How good is the .243?

    I hear both good and bad about the .243 on deer and hogs. Some people give it high marks while some claim it's marginal at best. So, at distances of 100 to 125 yards, shooting at hogs, how effective is it really? I know bullet selection is important and I'll be using factory loads. Any personal...

    .264 Win question(s)

    I'm looking at this caliber, I have an affinity for some of the more "not so mainstream" calibers, and was wondering how good a performer it is. More specifically, what are the comparable calibers? I generally hunt deer and hogs out to 200 or so yards. Any experience would help, thanks.

    Seacamp 380

    Got a chance to pick up a Seacamp in .380 caliber not the .32 original. I know the .32 has a pretty good reputation, using the recommended ammo, but I've never really heard about the .380 other than it's available. Question is this; how's the .380 model? Reliable, durable, etc. Anyone have...

    9.3x62 Mauser vs .35 Whelen

    Ok, I'm looking at either of these for a non-magnum heavy hitter (something different). How do these compare? I don't reload so it'll be factory loads. Any thoughts?

    .338-06 vs .35 Whelen

    Looking at this caliber range, no magnums, and wanted to see performance of each. Using a 200 or 225 grain bullet and distance will be under 200 yds. Bolt action rifle and hogs are target. Was also looking at the .338 Federal but there doesn't seem to be much choice for rifles and the .338-06...

    1911 rail holster

    Ok, I'm having a bit of a problem locating a holster for my Para P14 w/rail. Don't need a 'duty' holster, I'm retired, so I'm looking for a sport/hip carry. Leather or Kydex is fine. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

    Raging Bull .44 mag

    I'm looking at the Taurus Raging Bull in .44 mag. I've shot the Smith M29, Ruger Redhawk, and even a Colt Anaconda. I've seen little in writing about the Taurus, but most of it seems to be positive with the 'but' that the M29 or a Redhawk is a better gun. Anyone with experience with the Taurus...

    .357 mag factory load for hog?

    Going to use a .357 mag with a six inch bbl on a hog hunt. As I don't reload I'll be using factory loads. What's a good choice for hog? Distance should be under 50 to 75 yds. I've heard good things about Cor Bon DPX. All copper bullets. Any help will be appreciated.

    Para P14-45

    Does anyone know where I can buy a P14-45 frame? Blue steel or alloy either is ok. I'm waiting on Para to return my call, nothing yet. Any help will be appreciated.

    Zastava M808

    Just picked one up, in 6.5 x 55 Swede caliber, and love it. My only question is where can I get a spare magazine? I've tried a few places I found on the 'web' but seems to be 'out of stock'. Any help will be appreciated.

    6.5 x 55 Swede

    Just picked up a Mauser Custom in this caliber and so far it's been paper-punching. I've sighted in the scope and am getting consistent groups at an inch to an inch and a quarter from the prone and sitting position. Remington 140 gr Core Lokt ammo. The question being is this ammo good for hogs...

    .338 Federal question

    A while back I was hearing a lot about this caliber. Now is seems to have died out? I've seen it offered in an AR style platform and in the Sako rifles. Does anyone else offer a bolt action rifle in this caliber?

    .264 Win

    I have an opportunity to pick up a sporter Mauser in .264 Win. Double triggers with a 24" bbl. My question is how good overall is the .264? I'm not looking at comparisons to other calibers, more of a pro/con evaluation. Thanks

    .25-06 vs the .243

    The rifle will be bolt action with a 24" bbl. My question is caliber overall effectiveness and versatility. Most shots will hopefully be under 200 yds. at deer and hogs. Any help or experience will be appreciated.

    Para Hunter 10mm

    Looking at a 10mm (1911) and am very interested in the Para. Looks good, 6" bbl, ambi safety, and a rail. Anyone have one, shot one? I recently sold my P14 to help with the cost. Good gun. Never a problem and accurate. So I'm familiar with Para. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hunting ammo for a Garand

    Finally got a beautiful Garand (Springfield) to add to the collection. Very happy with it. Going to the range this week with ball ammo to check the sights and generally make my buddies jealous. So, we got a hog hunt coming up and of course I want to use the Garand. What's a good factory load...

    PTR 91

    Looking to get a semi-auto military style rifle in .308 caliber. I've been interested in the PTR as it's a clone of the HK. How's the reliability and accuracy? And the quality of build? I understand many parts are interchangable with the HK. Any help will be appreciated.
