Just traded my Savage model 12 .22-250 straight up for a Remington 700 .22-250 BDL (very good condition), 24 inch tube, Monte Carlo stock. Anyone own one? Appreciate your input :-)

Anybody know anything about Gunsmith K.C. Young. He lives/lived in Virginia and from what I found by way of research is a pretty good gunsmith. Thanks.

I recently purchased a .243 rifle from my hunting buddy that was built by a gunsmith friend of his. The receiver appears to be Mauser 98. On the top of the receiver and between the year stamp 1920 and 1918 is a word that starts with AM and ends with the letter G. There were other letters but I...

I live in Hampton, Va. but visit family in Charlotte, Nc. at least twice a year. When I'm in town I always visit Hyatt's Gun Store. 2 thumbs up! Any way, my Sister is as prissy as it gets and knew nothing about guns until our visit to Hyatt's. She was impressed with their knowledge of firearms...

I purchased a J.P. Sauer & Sohn 45 Colt, nickel plated for $230 the other day from a friend of mine. Its in really good condition. Smooth action with 1 pound of trigger pull. My friend had the pull adjusted when he purchased it years ago. I'm a reloader (rifle) and was wondering if It would be...

Played hookey from work today and drove 2 hrs to get in some range time. Took my 5R/.308 and managed to shoot a couple of really good 5 shot groups at 100 yards. The best measured 0.484 inches. Far and away the best group I've ever shot at any distance. I used 42.1/IMR 4064, CCI Br2 primer...

I just picked it up for my 14 year daughter yesterday. She wants to use it to target shoot. It has a black synthetic stock and a black 26" target/varmit barrel. It doesn't have a accu trigger. Appears to be a bone stock Model 12. Anyone own/owned one? Happy with it/hate it? I've youtubed and...

No sarcasm intended. Not trying to make a point. How effective was the ban on assault weapons and high cap mags during the Clinton era? Just curious.

Some of you may be aware of this report already but its a good read. This was a independent study performed by the U.S. Air Force Academy that "addresses the question of ballistic coefficient accuracy. This project compares ballistic coefficients advertised by four well known bullet companies...

The plan was to shoot 600 yards today but I didn't know that some of my club members were gonna be cutting trails on the property also. That was pretty much it for 600 yards. I was able to shoot 300 yards with my .308 5R and it was terrible. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why I was...

I'm about the pull the trigger (no pun intended) on the above mentioned shotgun. My hunting buddy is giving me a deal that I cannot refuse. All he wants is my Russian Baikal, $50 and a 12 pack of Corrona (I volunteered to help him to get rid of these). Its fully operational and was used during...

A hunting buddy of mine purchased a new rifle and said that it was fouled with copper and powder residue. Is this the norm?

This past saturday I purchased a Remington Model 700 5R .308. It should be here sometime this week. My question has to do with the x-mark pro trigger thats on it. Does anyone have any experience with it? I've read a few posts from people who also have this rifle and they all seem to be in a...

All is right with the universe. My beloved .280 is performing up to my lofty expectations again : ) For the past year I've been trying to figure out why this rifle wasn't as accurate as it had been. I tried everything and checked everything twice. I ran this by one of the employees at Hyatts...

I've been shooting 400 yards for about a year but I was in no mans land yesterday at 600 yards. The wind was all over the place; left to right, right to left, swirls.... I told my daughter that I've never shot at a target that far away and because of the wind I'd be happy just to hit it. I...

We had a super time. I started her (12 years old) out with a scoped pellet rifle in our garage last year and she took to it like a duck to water. I scoped a Marlin .22 lr for her and we left for the range this morning. I set the target out 50 yards, made sure her mechanics were good, worked on...

Is the opinion of Douglas rifle barrels still as favorable today as they were in the past? I don't hear/read anything about them anymore. Any of you still use them?

I was sitting in my garage yesterday with a fellow firearms enthusiast and he started talking about "barrel burners" such as the 6.5x.284, .264, and others that I can't recall to memory thus the question which calibers are considered to be "barrel burners"? I appreciate your input or if anyone...

I'm snowed in and bored outta my mind and I started thinking about a conversation I had on the way back home from the shooting range a few weeks ago. My partner suggested that I have my Interarms .280 Rem. converted to a .280 AI. We talked about it for a few minutes before moving on to...
