    Range Report: CZ75B

    Let me begin by apologizing for doubting all those posters who recommended this pistol. I handled them several times at the gun shop and always ended up walking away. Yesterday I had a extra couple hundred bucks and decided what the Hell. I hit the the range today with an assortment of other...

    CZ for me?

    Looking to finally buy a CZ 75B. My fave shoppe has two 9mms with satin nickel finish, one full size, one compact. They both feel great in the hand, similar triggers, etc. At the moment I am leaning towards the full size as I do not think I will carry it and full capacity mags are readily...

    Comments on the Wichester M70 LT Classic (25-06)

    A new 25-06 for me? I sold my last 25-06 some time ago and miss having a rifle in this most versatile caliber. I have found a source for a NIB M70 LT for $500 and am ready to jump on it but I'd like some comments from the audience. I love my .416 M70 Safari Express but it is certainly not what...

    FINALLY! Damascus slide is on the way.

    I ordered it September of '00. 5", Bomar sight cuts, NO FRONT COCKING SERRATIONS, 10mm/.40 caliber, reverse plug. They have to make the sight cuts and then they'll ship it. :cool: Gonna be styling.

    and yet another rifle idea...

    Apologies if it has already been discussed, but I'd like to see a scout style bolt rifle set up to use the Garand feed system of en bloc clips. Scout style only because of the need for keeping the scope out of the way for loading. After the last shot had been fired and the bolt was pulled back...

    Just back from africa...

    It was interesting and I'm glad I went but not sure I would go back. I found that the whitetail in TN are much more challenging and satisfying to hunt than the kudu, wildebeest or impala that I took in South frica. Is it because all the grunt work was done for me? Probably. Chalk up some more...

    Best bolt .22LR?

    I have a couple 10/22s but I really enjoy slamming the action home on a good ole bolt action. My indoor range has a couple Marlin 880SQs for 269 and intial research has Marlin as the only current American maker of .22 bolt repeaters. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to .22 rifles. I'll be...

    AR questions

    Another thread has me considering getting an additional Upper for my Bushmaster Dissapator. Was thinking about one from Olympic Arms in 10mm. Am I correct in assuming that Uppers do not require a NICS check but Lowers do? That is, could I order an Upper from whoever and have it shipped directly...

    Enfield front sight tool

    I just purchased an Enfield Mk 4 No 1 from Gunbroker. The front sight is adjusted to the extreme right, although I have yet to fire it and this may be where it needs to be set, I would like to have the option of adjusting it. It was advertised as unfired and evidence suggests this to be the...

    Accuracy problems with Ruger #1

    I have a Ruger #1 in .338WM that is a bit of an enigma. Some days it shoots ok, others are downright dismal. It is topped with a Leupold 4.5-14x50 and I bought it off the guy Magnaported. I have on occasion produced 1.5" groups @ 100yds, acceptable I suppose. Generally though the groups tend to...

    Gorgeous Hi Power

    My friendly neighborhood gun shoppe has a new Browning Hi Power in the display case. The finish looks like a gloss laquer of some sort. The hammer is a commander style. Slide is stamped "Made in Belgium" says nothing about assembly elsewhere. The sights are the slide adjustable type (capitan?)...

    Minimum age for shooting?

    Make no mistake, I enjoy immensly the age my boy is now, seeing changes in him everyday, learning, growing. I do wonder if he will be ready to go to the range or clearing before his maternal grandfather leaves this mortal coil. His grandpa is an avid shooter and hunter and owns about three times...

    Looking for a Report Card website on Congress

    Is there a website that grades Senators and Representatives voting records on issues as viewed from a conservative mindset? I'd like to keep better tabs on what my elected officials are up to but don't really know how. It seems there must be a site that keeps tabs on those people. I'm pretty...

    Just dodged a $1000 bullet

    I like the concept of the Wilson KZ-45. So much so that I put bids (unwinning) on a couple over at gunbroker.com a few months ago. Today, while buying one of my rifles it's next lunch, I happened to look in the case that the high end/limited run pistols are displayed and there one lay. With...

    1911 .38 Super mags for a 9mm?

    I have mentioned on this board before how pleased I am with my SA 1911-A1 in 9mm. I'd like to get a few more mags for her. CDNN has Chip McCormack 10 rnd .38 Super mags for what I would consider a reasonable price. Will these work without adversely affecting reliabilty? I may someday get a 9x23...

    Premium Ammo sources

    After doing a search on this forum, I did not find what I wanted but I do apologize if this subject has been covered ad nauseum. I have figured out that my .300WM likes the following loads: Hornaday 150gr BTSP Hornaday 165gr BTSP Winchester 180gr Ballistic Silvertip Most of the ammo sites I...
