    10-40x50 Osprey International Scope Review

    I purchased this scope a few weeks ago for $166.45 and got a chance to check it out yesterday. Because of concerns/complaints expressed by others who had purchased Osprey scopes I checked it out as best I knew how before mounting. I didn't see any o-rings exposed,the adjustment knobs were...

    Are You bothered by "newbie" questions?

    I personally am not. I'm always happy to share my limited knowledge of all things related to pistols and rifles with others. I understand that some are not as computer savy as others, and it takes them a while to learn to navigate this site i.e the "search" function. With that being the case...

    Positive Gunshop Review

    I visited Hyatts Gun and coin shop today in Charlotte N.C. and was very pleased straight across the board. I went there to purchase reloading supplies and to my surprise their shelves were stocked with I needed; powder, primers, bullets, et-al. Haven't experienced that in a whiIe. Its one of...

    Trimming 7mm Rem Mag cases

    I load for a 7mm rem mag sendero. My question is how far back do you trim the brass? I have a good number of cases that are stretched (necks) and I'd like to reuse them before I move on to new ones. Appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks :)

    Purchasing Powder:Has this happened to you?

    I recently visited Doves Gun Shop in Princeton, Wv. hoping that I would find shelves loaded with shells, bullets, powder, primer, etc. Long story short, didn't happen. I ended up purchasing powder that I normally would not. Not that theres anything wrong with the powder I purchased its just...

    Boresighter Recommendations/Suggestions

    Gonna piggy back off of a previous thread if its ok. Just yesterday I was at Bass Pro Shop looking at a few boresighters. They had a few different models/types to include laser, ones that look like a unprimed case, etc. Is one better than the other? Which do you use?

    Ruger .44 Magnum Super Blackhawk (Flat Top)

    My hunting buddy and fellow gun enthusiast recently purchased this six shooter. Yesterday we fired a few rounds through it and the loading gate opened after each shot. The opening occured when we fired .44 mag. hollow points. When he fired .44 specials through it the gate stayed in closed...

    Traded XD-45 Tactical for Interarms .280 Remington.

    I don't know much about this rifle. I was assured by my friend (the guy I made the trade with) that I was getting a good deal. It was made in 1970 and is in mint condition. He left a Bushnell 4x12 Banner scope on it. I traded the XD 45 because I hunt and I'll get more use out of the rifle...

    InterArms .280 Remington

    What do you all think about this rifle? A very good friend of mine is seriously considering selling me his for $450.00. It is in mint condition. I'm asking because I don't know much about InterArms products. Anything anyone can tell me about the rifle would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Question for Smith & Wesson Enthusiasts

    I've owned a S&W 4013TSW (earlier model, no rail) for about two years now and am very happy with it. I purchased it at my favorite gun shop for $500. Here is my question. I can't clean the darn thing because the pin is super tight and I can't remove it. I guess I could use a punch and hammer...

    Response to question "hasn't someone asked this question before?"

    As I go about my internet routine of reading and responding to posts on this site someone always asks "hasn't someone asked this question before"? My immediate thought is "hasn't someone asked THIS question before?" The answer to both questions is yes, and they will probably be asked again...

    Is there a need for the 10mm round?

    I hesitated to ask this question but there were so many good responses to the question ref a need for the .40 cal round. I say if you could do without one it would be the 10mm round because we have the .40 cal (same diameter bullet w/ longer case). Add to that not being able to purchase the...

    How are the gun shows in your area?

    I've attended three gun shows this year and was not at all impressed with two of them. The two that weren't that good had more tables selling trinkets than fire arms. I attended one today at the Show Place in Mechanicsville, Va. that was by far the best that I've been to in a while. Just...

    Barrel Rating for XD-45 ACP

    What is the barrel rating for the XD-45 Tactical? I checked the manual that came with it but couldn't find anything. I was told that you could run pretty much anything through it. I'm sure someone in here knows : )
