Is anyone aware of any options for mounting a reflex/red dot sight on a Kimber Micro 9 that don't require milling the slide? I'm aware there are options for some pistols that allow you to remove your rear iron sight and replace it with a mount for a reflex. I've done a few searches and have...

I'm considering the purchase of a Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range (basic model) in 6.5 Creedmoor. Cabela's will have it for $900 on Wednesday. Specifically, I'm looking for real-life experience feedback on the rifle. Is it truly a sub-MOA rifle with multiple factory ammo rounds? What have...

For awhile I've been wanting an opportunity gun (as in a trunk gun, to carry when scouting, for a day walk in the field, and for backpacking), so I pulled the trigger on the Chiappa Double Badger in .22 WMR / .410. I'd considered similar guns, but the Chiappa is much more packable. There's much...

I wanted a semi-automatic that I could use for deer, hog, and coyote out to at least 300 yards. To me that means I need a 1 MOA gun, or something very near to 1 MOA. I picked up a Browning (BAR) Stalker. It shot 3 to 5 MOA 5-shot groups. (Ugh!) I called Browning and they had me send it in...

Question: Is there a way to properly store traditional long guns in a Texas non-climate controlled garage? I may be in the situation where it would be better to keep my guns in a detached garage versus the apartment, if I can do so without ruining them. The guns would be stored in a lower end...

I don't have a tremendous amount of experience with night vision, so I'd like to solicit some experienced opinions. Here is my situation: I would prefer a scope that allows me to hunt both day and night, so I'm wondering if a thermal scope will work effectively during the day. If I'm...

I'm confused by what different vendors and spec's are telling me. Some have given me part numbers to a one piece rail, but when I look I see it is for a long action BAR. Others seem to have difficulty telling me what height to get. I am given the height of the rings, but not the base. ATN...

I've decided to purchase a BAR to round out my center-fire rifle holdings. I'm struggling to decide on the caliber. I suspect some here can provide me with some points for consideration that haven't even crossed my mind. Here's my foundation and thinking so far. I've never needed more than...

I'm looking for a drop-in replacement trigger for my Bushmaster. I've found some older threads that guided me on some research, but I'd like to run my conclusion past those with more experience. The rifle will be used primarily for hunting coyotes and hogs. Most of the hunting will be done at...

I'm daunted by all the offerings in night vision and don't have the experience to know if I'm missing something important. I'm seriously considering the purchase of a NV rifle scope, but I could use some help on narrowing down the options. Here is what I know about my requirements. - I'll likely...

Does anyone make a high quality 6.5mm or similar mid-caliber semi-automatic that's not in an AR-style platform? I love the accuracy of a bolt action and I have some from .204 Ruger to 30.06. But I'd also like to have a mid-caliber (.243, 6.5mm, etc.) semi-automatic with a superior trigger and...

I was just wondering. I've seen lots of posts of folks plinking in their homes with air rifles. Is there a concern with lead dust? I would think so, but have no real knowledge/evidence to support the thought. Does anyone know for sure?

I'm really overwhemed with the selections available. I have owned and shot several pistols, but relative to many here I wouldn't say that I have a great deal of experience. Still, of all the calibers 9mm and greater I have to say I like the .45 ACP the best. The recoil doesn't bother me and I...

Pistol is dual purpose: carry while hunting hog (often at dusk and night) and home defense. I've never used a light or laser on a pistol. I'm soliciting opinions, with rationale, for whether to outfit the pistol with a laser, flashlight, laser/flashlight combo', both as individual units, or...

I've neither hunted with a .223 / 5.56 nor had an AR. But I'm thinking about scratching that itch as I've seen a number of Bushmasters and similar with a 1/9 twist available at very reasonable prices recently. I would want it to hunt coyote, hog, and deer. Without buying another upper in...

I've decided to get a Chiappa Double-Badger. The decision remaining is which .22 round, Mag or LR. I have quite a few .22 LR rifles already, so I hesitate (greatly) to get another. Also, I don't have either of the bigger rimfire cartridges. But I want a trunk and opportunity gun. I imagine...

I'm interested in the Witness line. I do need to find one I can try before I buy, but I'm curious as to the sights. Most listings I see say "fixed sights", but at least on the rear some are obviously dovetailed. Whatever model I end up getting, I can imagine that at some point I will want...

I was justable to pick up a TC Impact (at a great price). I've been wanting to get a black powder gun for some time, in order to have an extended deer season. I anticipate that's about all I'll be doing with it other than shooting it enough to be confident with the rifle while in the field...

I understand something like the Taurus Judge can fire both the .45 Long Colt and a .410. That leads me to wonder can a light or medium loaded .45 Long Colt be safely fired in a standard .410 shotgun? If 'yes' then what would be the expected accuracy if fired from a smooth bore (traditional...

I now have this nice leather scabbard that my father used years ago. It was put away and forgotten for years. The leather is hard and dry. You can hear it crack when gripped firmly. I'm not sure if I want to use it as a carrying case (the inside is lined with lambskin) or perhaps flatten it...
