    What good is the .410?

    Hang on, this isnt a troll ( like the legendary .22 is the best caliber for self defence)...I am thinking about a .410. I was discussing this with my local gunsmith- who knows a thing or two about guns- and he said basically forget it, its a total waste of time...not enough pellets. What do you...

    Fun and Games...with shotguns

    Had a whale of a weekend with my 870 Wingmaster. A mate of mine owns a vineyard and as the fruit is just starting to ripen, the local birdlife is starting to get into it. So, in an effort to protect his crop, my mate is giving (!!!) as 12 gauge skeet ammo, and paying us (!!!) to shoot all the...

    A good weekends shooting.

    Saturday: Went out pigeon shooting over decoys and a blind with two friends. It was over a pea field and the farmer was having the life torn out of his crop. ( Note: As Pigeons are designated a "pest" in New Zealand there is no bag limit at all) - in 4 hours we shot 341 pigeons. Man, it was...

    US Gun Laws - best State to live in?!

    As a new zealander, I am often baffled by the differing laws between each states, and seemingly some countys. Some states dont allow "assault" rifles( yes, I know they are not really assault rifles), others do. Some allow carry of pistols, some dont. It seems that there are some where you can...

    Bore solvent

    Team, what thoughts do we have on: 1/ How often we should use bore solvent to de-copper foul a rifle? 2/ What product do you fellas recommend? My own 2cents: 1/ Once every hundred rounds or so. 2/ Hoppes- because it is the most commonly avalible. __________________ Currently... Ruger Mini...

    Range report- .223 AI Remington LTR

    I was induced to swap my previous .223 VS for an LTR. I wanted a shorter, handier rifle that was a bit easier to carry, and get in and out of trucks for the mobile rabbit shooting we do in these here parts. The throat on my VS was starting to go, it cost $300 so I thought what the heck, and did...

    Urgent- .223 Ackley Improved

    Have seen a steal on an LTR in this caliber. Apparently its considered a bit "odd" down here, hence the reduced price. Urgently can anyone tell me any pitfalls in this caliber? You can fireform all your brass using normal .223 factory ammo? Is full length sizing needed or only neck sizing? any...

    To lube or not to lube?

    What do you guys reckon about the amount of oil that should be used on 10/22's specifically, or auto .22's generally? The oil does tend to attract gunk, and I belive contribute to stoppages, but no oil seems wrong in so many ways ( maybe too long in the Army)...thoughts?

    Ruger 10/22 + Lots of Rabbits= Joy.

    Went out shooting with the new Ruger for the first time this weekend. There were a lot of rabbits around, I shot about 70 in about two hours, and began to get concerend that I would run out of ammo. I was using the CCI subsonic load, which was very clean burning and shot very well, although you...

    I am having an argument with a mate about the pros and cons of autos and pumps, so without turning this into a flame war, what arguments can you see for either?

    So long 39a...

    In a moment I swapped my 39a for a stainless silenced 10/22. I was getting fed up with how long it took to load the tube mag. Have I done a bad thing?:confused:
