    Found an O/U I may be able to live with.

    Stopped in the local Cabela's today to scout for some 22 rifles and found an old Remington 3200 skeet instead. 26" barrels and wood to die for. Shouldered like it was an old friend. Now if I can just talk my Better Judgement into letting me spend $1800 on it.:D

    Just sold my last auto for the silliest reason

    My final centerfire auto, an EAA Carry comp 45. It was insanely reliable (fed a steady diet of cast SWCers) and more accurate than it had any right to be. So why did I sell it? I got tired of picking up brass and to even more of an extent, I got tired of loosing brass. I would spend 10 minutes...

    Ithica O/Uers?

    Been considering picking up a better O/U than the Yildez I've been shooting. Was looking mostly at Win 101's but came across an Ithica 500 in pretty decent shape that I could probably walk out with for 500. It's choked F/M so I'd either have tubes added or open to S/S, but other than that it...

    Witness is choking

    I have an EAA Witness carry comp that I'm having issues with. I've run literally thousands of rounds thru it with my home cast 200gr SWC and 6gr of Unique. Up until recently it's never had a problem feeding, in fact I can't remember a jam. Now for some reason every round is coming just short of...

    Skeet, gotta know when to DUCK

    A few weeks back I learned the hard way. Shooting the low 8 and wasn't really paying any attention since I never hit the danged thing anyway. Well, like my grandpappy always said, even a blind nut sometimes finds a squirrel, (Never really understood that) and I managed to hit it just enough to...

    Beer and skeet, Am I being oversensitive?

    Was shooting at my local club on Friday and after a couple of rounds one of the guys opened up his cooler and started handing out beers. I declined and said that I didn't think it was a good idea. That was met with a chorus of "It's only one beer." I grew up in a family of shooters and...

    3/4 oz 20ga recipes?

    I just started shootng the 20 at skeet birds and I've been loading a 7/8. Would like to find a good 3/4 oz load using win209's, Unique and rem/fed hulls. Push comes to shove I could probably change powder but I'd love to work with what I have on hand.

    My first .410 skeet trip...

    I showed up to the range with 2 boxes of shells (man I gotta get a reloader for this one). First round I shot a 12. Wasn't sure what to think about that. Normally I'd be upset, but I'm used to shooting a 9 pound muzzle heavy SXS with double triggers. Now I'm trying to swing a 7 pound gun with a...

    I should get an eye patch and a parrot

    Took my son to retrieve some money that was owed to him. Sat and listened to this guy brag about how this friend had come to him needing money so he gave him $60 for this .410 shotgun. He was sure he could make a couple of hundred off of it. He went on to tell of how he sold a Hipoint to a guy...

    New Mousegun

    Was wandering the trails of the local gunshow today. Not a Contender to be found. AR's as far as the eye could see, then I spotted this... I know what you're thinking, NAA Guardian, but you're wrong,it's the hard to find Autauga MK II. Hard to find because the company went out of business...

    Who makes the Remington O/U?

    Was looking at a 28 at Acadamy. Very nice fit and finish, just a great feeling little gun. LAst I heard Rem was importing russians but I knew this wasn't soviet. It was stamped Italy but that was it. Anyone know?

    Back after quite an absence.

    Finally made it to the skeet feild after over a year. Thought I'd be a bit rusty, but managed to shoot a personal best of 23. Even tried to shoot a round with my 870. I think I shot around a 15 but I may be abit generous with that. Just couldn't seem to get that whole pump the action, release...

    Need a good 870 mag extention

    I went out and bought an 18.5" barrrel for my 870 so I could keep it by the door and I'd like to add an extention to the mag. I'd like it to be durable enough that I can take it on and off pretty regularly as this is also my trap gun.

    Taurus free wheeling?

    I just came into posession of a Taurus 650 as repayment on a debt. My wife and I both carry 650's so I'm fairly familiar with them. This one has an issue. With the cylinder closed I can spin it clockwise with only a slight bit of pressure. Comparing it to my other 2 I can tell the cylinder stop...

    Heavy bullets in the 30 luger?

    Anyone played with heavy bullets in the 30 luger? I just got a new contender barrel in 30 luger and would like to run some 115gr soupcans thru it, but for some reason I'm having trouble finding data.:rolleyes:

    Scope mount for a 48A?

    I have to admit, I've been out of the C&R loop for a couple of years, in fact I only have one left of a once nice collection. It's a beautiful 48A, all matching, that I just just couldn't bear to part with when I had my firesale. I'd like to put a scout mount set up on it. I've used the one from...

    Moving to Denison Texas

    Found me a nice little lake home, but I need to know the best and nearest places to shoot. And was wondering if there are any internet forums for texas shooters, surely there are, Oklahoma has one. Any other nifty info would also be appreciated.

    Never thought I'd say this about a Tauri

    But I was looking at a 22lr today, actually was about to lay money on table, when I gave it a closer inspection. What a lousy piece of excrement. The bore was off center from the barrel, and even more concerning, the cylinder would spin when the gun was supposedly locked up. Hammer down, or...
