I bought a redfield revolution rifle scope. Its a 3-9x40. It was $130 shipped. The glass is amazingly clear, all the way out past 300yd. Even shooting straight under the sun there was no haze or blur. I mounted it on my savage 111 7mm rem mag. Only had time for 15 shots, but im impressed. I...

im thinking of taking a basic and possibly advanced pistol course. mostly concerning full sized pistols, not ccw type course. i doubt ill be able to get the time or afford one of the big schools currently, so ill probably looking up to a few hours from louisiana. what kind of stuff should i...

What are the hard to find components that you are always hunting? For me it is any vihtavuori powder, alliant power pistol, alliant rl 19/22, and imr 800x. So basically its powders i cant find. There's tons of powder available, just not the stuff im looking for!

who has taken a hunters safety course? what state? how long was it? was it a good course? i took the Ohio course 2x as a kid, it was 2 evening classes, and all day Saturday. i remember it as having pretty good info. im currently taking the louisiana course. took the online test for $15...

I keep seeing all these threads about "downloading", or "taming" the magnum cartridges. My question is why? Why would you want to "castrate" the cartridge? If you are wanting a "milder" cartridge, why buy a magnum? Now admittedly my 7mm wallops the crap out of me on heavier loads, and i have...

how many people did you introduce to shooting and other gun related activities last year? i just got a call from a guy i took shooting for his first time last November. he was bragging about his new fs2000! he was the 3rd person i took shooting for the first time last year. 2 have their own...

I asked before, but only received a few answers, so ill try again. I have a t/c encore in .204 ruger. I want a scope, variable zoom, up to at least 20x, and preferably 40mm objective. No need for all the fancy mil-dot reticle stuff, just clear un-cloudy glass at 300yd(unlike my current NC...

I've got some 175gr sierra gameking's(sbt). im looking to load up to 3000fps. Currently I've only got retumbo, which maxes out at 2800fps according to the bottle (and the one book i have the max is BELOW the bottles recommendation). Anybody got any pet loads with retumbo? How about another...

im looking to get some fibre optic sights for a few different guns. just looked thru some earlier I've had bad experience in the past with them breaking, but supposedly the new ones are sturdier. im looking for all metal construction(excluding fibre) and fitted for the gun(or as little as...

where do i find screws to fill in the holes where i took off the sights??

I'm thinking about cutting down the barrel of my ruger sbh from 7.5" to 5.5" or 6". It would make it a bit more "non-bulky" and easier to find holsters and such for. I dont really think i will miss the fps ill loose, and im nowhere good enough to notice the loss of accuracy. what says you?

how often do you scavenge/break down good rounds to use the components for another cartridge? I just tore down 50 wwb .40s&w so i could load up some 10mm. i just ordered a mold to take care of my lack of .40 bullets tho.

Just picked up a box of rem sluggers from academy today, opened them up at the house and saw 3 slugs and 2 #4 buck. While i like #4 buck, ive got plenty of it, and its nowhere near the price of the slugs. so just look at your ammo before you buy.

Let me start by saying I'm not interested in hearing the crap about "oc will get you killed/targeted/arrested/bla bla bla". So lets hear your interesting/annoying/amusing/frightening/angering(?) stories of your open carry experiences. Just today i was asked by an older guy if my gun was...

Ive loaded up a few rounds('06, 7mm, 10mm) and the dispenser/scale combo works great. The only problems i have is changing powders. I cant swap powders with out making a mess. Even tilting the unit to the drain side it still wont all come out easily. I have to tilt and push the powder with...

I currently use a black hawk serpa holster for my 1911. I hate the fact that the paddle blocks access to my pocket. that's my knife pocket. I tried with out the paddle but i didn't like the way it sat. I would also like to slide the holster back some, but it is blocked by the belt loop. I've...

I have a old pistol i would like to refinish. Some of the springs/pins are permanently installed, or beyond my level of competence to remove. I'm guessing that the bake-on coatings are a no-go due to loss of spring temper due to the heat? If this is true what are some cold options to protect...

Anybody have any luck with a 2PC qr/qd scope base? Leupold stopped making the 1PC bases for my gun, and i cant find them anywhere. I tried Talley, but they use rail mounts, and i couldn't find a good enough rail base for my gun to get a return to zero.

I just picked up a well used hi-standard sportking .22lr. Its got a 4.5" barrel. There is little bluing left, and the grips are pretty chipped. To my questions: 1) Can i buy a 6" barrel and slap it on? 2) Good place to get grips/mags? 3) Will replacing the recoil spring enable me to fire...

i just got some 500gr, and 600gr cast lrn boolits for my .45/70. what would be better pyrodex, or BP? what loads would you use?(how much bp/pyrodex?)
