    Gun value?

    What is a Remington 700, blued bull barrel, laminate stock (brownish) in 222 worth? It's in excellent shape. This would probably be a mid to late '90s gun.

    Bushnell or Weaver Scope on SBH?

    Weaver Classic, Bushnell Trophy or Bushnell Elite Pistol Scope? This will go on my SBH Hunter (should I find one). My dad has a Bushnell trophy and it's not a bad scope, but I would like the opinions of others. Thanks. Also, anyone know how these two companies are with warranty work?

    I expect this is BS, but...

    I got this in an e-mail and was wondering if there is any truth to it. Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It may require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun. This bill was introduced on Feb.. 24. This bill will become...

    What is the value of a NIB S&W 19-1

    This is a blued gun that has never been turned and has the box. I believe the barrel length is 6ish. My dad is thinking about buying this from my uncle who had previously told him it was a 29-5 (this explains my earlier post). Thanks!

    357 magnum high pressure event

    I was shooting yesterday and took out some 180 gr Hornady XTP loaded that I loaded about 5 years ago. The gun was my SW 686-1 I shot 5 loaded with 12.5 gr of H110. It gave me a nice sub 2" group at 20 yards off a rest. But when I went to eject they were pretty tight. The gun was pretty...

    700 Remington LSS Price check?

    What it the value on a 700 LSS in 300 mag. This has a set of Leupold bases and rings (no scope). Trigger has been professionally reworked to a sweet 4.4 lbs and action is smooth as glass. It's probably had 150 rounds through it. The only thing that keeps it from looking new is the shine has...

    Dry firing a Marlin lever action?

    Is there much risk of harming the gun by doing this? How about with the crossbolt safety on, does that make a difference? Thanks.

    45/70 bullets canted in case

    My 45/70 handload bullets often are canted in the case. At the base of the bullet you can see, and feel, a slight buldge in the brass. I was hoping it was just my Lee dies, but I purchased Hornady dies and get the same result. This occurs with differente brass and bullets. I've been shooting...

    1895 Marlin trigger question

    I did some work on my 1895 and am happy with the trigger that is now at 2.75 lbs. I have one question though. I lightened up the trigger spring quite a bit. The trigger still returns to the spot it's supposed to every time, but it is about 1/4 the power of my stock 1894. I assume as long as the...

    686 firing pin problems

    I took my S&W 686-1 out last night for the first time in a few months. I shot seven shots and beginning on the 8th, it would not fire. At first I thought it was my old primers. Then I examed the failed cartridges and found that they had only been slightly dimpled by the firing pin. I...

    Why do some people try to hide ther serial #?

    Just an honest question about something I apparently don't know. Thanks.

    Got my Dan Wesson Pointman 7!

    I bought this sight unseen, so I was a little worried. Fit and finish are outstanding. It looks like the pics of PBP's CBOB in regards to frame to slide fit. The barrel locks up solid. The grips are beautiful. The trigger is crisp with very little creep and is a hair under 4.5 lbs. It is...

    Dan Wesson CBOB or Pointman 7?

    Okay, I know I already, more or less, asked this before, but I'm really torn. I have narrowed my first 1911 to these two (that may change of course). This is not a CCW or a target gun, it is to be a jack of all trades gun. I plan to target shoot groups (not rapid fire at a man shaped target)...

    DW CBOB vs Pointman 7 accuracy?

    I know this question kind of leads to a subjective response, but... In the hands of an average shooter, how much difference in accuracy do you think there would be at 25 yards between these two?

    SW1911 vs Dan Wesson Pointman 7 or CBOB?

    Which would you pick? I'd have to pay at least $200 (maybe $300) more for the DW. This will be a major purchase for me as I'm not a rich man. Thanks for your opinions.

    SW1911 or plain jane Colt?

    Sadly, I've all but eliminated the SA as I can't get my hands on one and hate to order and pay for what I can't inspect first. So....I'm thinking of the SW1911, which seems to have great reviews and a much better warranty and more bells and whistles. Or the Colt basic 1991. Both are within...
