    Contender Pistol in .308: a beginner's question

    This will be my first contender and I purchased the reduced recoil cartridge Remington is now making in .308. I understand Federal makes a reduced load now to but my questions are these: 1. What type recoil should I expect? 2. Do you recommend one hand on the forearm? Or, what hold do you...

    Good wood and barrel but weak blue. Is a re-blue

    a good option or do you pass? No pitting. Just looks like a bubba had it in the rear window gun rack---a Sako/Leupold combo too.

    Does anyone know anything about this gun/scope?

    I found a .264 win mag in an older weatherby vanguard (California) with a weatherby scope. I cannot find ANY info on the weatherby scope and I cannot find any gun value listing even reflecting the rifle in that caliber. Anyone know about the gun or the scope? Thanks

    10 ga. v. 12 ga.

    I am using a 12 ga. 3" with #2 steel in pit blinds. I cannot see much of a difference in range with the 3.5" shells, but I can sure feel a difference in kick. Some of my friends are going up to 10 ga. which they say will give more range with less kick, which they attribute to barrel...

    Reduced Recoil Reloads

    I do not reload myself (yet) but I was hoping someone here can recommend a company to me that can load me a few rounds of reduced recoil for me. Any suggestions? I have a 6.5x55, a .243 and a 7.62x39 mini mauser for him to try this year. Can a light load be made for .243 or 6.5? No shots...

    7.62x39 recoil?

    I have never shot this caliber, but just bought one (Daly Mini-Mauser) for first deer rifle for my 10 year old (100 yards max shot). Short length of pull, not too heavy. How does the recoil compare with a .243? Thanks

    Question about FFL

    First, I am fairly new here, so let me appologize if (1) my question has been posted 25 times previously, or if (2) I am posting this question in the wrong forum. Here it goes: I like rifles and purchase (to keep, for me) them frequently. Is there any type of license that will allow me to...
