Bolt guns, revolvers, single and double actions, levers, straight pulls.... I don't know what it is... they don't shoot as fast, they may or may not be as accurate. Its like an automatic car, takes all the fun out of driving... Here's a little bit of eye candy to make reading worth your while:

Anyone with a leupold deltapoint be willing to take a pair of calipers and measure the width of the base of the sight? The same dimension on the sight that corresponds to slide width when mounted on a pistol.

My buddy uses glasses. I don't. I adjusted one of my scopes to group over a bullseye. He had a go at my rifle, and was consistently hitting off center. He adjusted the scope to his satisfaction and shot some targets up. After he was done I went back to shooting, and had the same problem he...

Anyone have any experience with this combination? I haven't held the rifle in person but in pictures it looks like it would be hard to wrap the thumb around up top while your hand is still on the grip, to actuate the safety.

and there was an image of an original box of ammunition from the 1870's. Link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Colt_.45_LC_Cartridges.JPG/436px-Colt_.45_LC_Cartridges.JPG A box of 12! How cool is that? Twelve shots because the guns at the time had 6 cylinders I am...

I like how the lead splatter line continues to the edges of the sand box where the wood is all torn away from the ricochet shrapnel.

My Lyman manual says I can use H-380 in .308 Winchester. It calls for 45.5 grains as a starting load with a 165 grain partitioned bullet (soft point). I didn't have the exact bullet that it indicated, but I had two different 165 grains soft points to try out. It states that the max load of 55.5...

I bought a box of 175gr HP match in .308 Winchester. Anyone have any experience? I got a new X-Bolt that I want to test the accuracy. There was some ammo that was like 60 dollars a box and passed. On the other hand, I didn't want to test accuracy with the cheapest they had either. I didn't...

For the sake of not trusting published specifications, and wanting an accurate number for the whole package, rifle, bases, rings, scope, and ammo, what is the best way to weigh my rifle? I dont think my bathroom scale is accurate enough to even give me +/- 1 pound accuracy at this low in its...

I've read some opinions that the new retention system for the magazines are poorly designed. Last weekend at the range I sent about 300 rounds through the gun. I experienced three separate occurences of the magazine falling out. The first time I inserted a loaded mag into the gun with the...

Anyone have any problems with the larger bullets not fitting (for any caliber)? What about those who have it in 308? I have a new rifle on the way and I'm hesitating to buy bulk reloading supplies until I can find out for sure if the magazine will accomodate longer bullet lengths.

Ok so I usually use credit cards for these transactions because it is instant, but I actually have the money set aside this time in advance, so I'd like to try using money order to take advantage of the 3% cash discount (alot of vendors pass the 3% charge the credit card company collects on to...

is it plastic or metal?

the X-bolts have that button on the top of the bolt that allows you to remove the bolt when the safety is engaged. Is this basically analogous to the Win 70 safety's middle position (basically rack the bolt without being able to fire)? I'm wondering if it simply allows you to eject the round...

Has anyone done it? I've seen a youtube video where a guy did it to an FNP-9, which is a very similar gun. When I actuate the safety with my right thumb, the ambi portion on the opposite side interferes with my grip. It hits me right around the meet at the base of my index finger right before...

If I want to cut and re-crown my own barrel without going under the legal limit, what is the correct way to measure barrel length of a bolt action rifle? I don't want to botch it and suddenly have a short barreled rifle that is gonna get me in all sorts of trouble.

A K9 to be specific. I don't usually like DOA pistols at all, but this one had a real smooth trigger. It was fairly long, but the pressure was very consistent (and light) throughout the pull. It was very easy to "surprise" myself with when the gun would go off. I shoot better in this manner...

Basically my single action Blackhawk did not come with a second cylinder. I would like to shoot 45 acp out of it as well but because it is a distributor's exclusive ruger will not sell me an extra cylinder. They said it had to do with the rights of the distributor offering the model. So if I...

I have a friend who wants to sell his rifle. I told him about the forum and how good it is as a resource and that people constantly use it to buy things from other members. He seemed like he just didn't want to be bothered with it all (he doesn't use websites very often). Would it be against...

I have about a half pound of blue dot left. I've decided that I don't like (or my gun doesn't like) this particular powder and I thinking of a way to use it besides load development or fertilizer. My girlfriend likes shooting the Blackhawk but the loads I am testing are usually on the bottom...
