Can focus adjustments and/or the wearing/not-wearing of glasses impact sighting? I heard a comment a while back at the range that piqued my curiosity, but I didn't have the opportunity to follow up with the person that made the statement. The statement pertained to someone that wears glasses...

A total noob here, so if I'm way off track then please set me back on the right path. I have a Cabela's Caliber Specific Scope, 3-9x40, 1" tube, .22LR that I wish to place on a Marlin 795. I do not know which rings and bases I should select. I would be interested in something "removable", in...

I've decided to purchase a G20 SF. On the tip from another thread I checked out Ed's Public Safety. Nate offered $491 for a member of GSSF (that costs $35). Unfortunately, when it came time for the sale, I live in Texas. They can't ship outside their sales area, which does not include Texas...

I was at Cabella's the other evening and looked at the Red Dot optics for the first time. I saw one for ~$90 that said 3 MOA, another for ~200 that said 4 MOA, and one for ~$400 that said 6 MOA. I'm confused. I would have thought the MOA numbers would go downwards as the quality improved...

I've been planning on purchasing a G20 SF. I've planned on purchasing the full size because its primary use would be hunting and then as a secondary home defense weapon. I had not planned it for use as a routine carry pistol. My plans also included purchasing a 6" aftermarket barrel to bump...

I've inherited a bunch of 243 ammo from my dad. I'd love to use it, but can I? It is pretty corroded. Is it something I can put in a Gatoraid bottle with some polishing media and put on the treadmill for an hour? I would greatly appreciate some guidance on the matter. Thanks in advance...

I am needing about 150 rounds (for now) of 10mm range ammo to run in a Glock 20SF. Other than it can't have a steel case or be a straight lead bullet, I don't care anything about the spec's other than I would like something that feeds reasonably well and is inexpensive. Any suggestions on...

In a separate thread I used the word coward in reference to the CO shootings. I sincerely apologize. It was too harsh. It was inappropriate. I don't cast aspersions on any individual. I have no idea of their personal circumstances. I don't judge any single person there. Yet out of a whole...

I would like to solicit some input on this topic. I've seen threads (such as this one) that state you don't dry fire a .22 rimfire handgun. On the other hand, the Ruger manual says on page 20, "5. With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, push the safety to the “off” (F) position and pull...

The article given below disturbs me, but I can't really determine why. It could be because it's one that I believe would have been better off not being written. Perhaps it's because it has the potential to rally ill informed gun control advocates (although I believe 99% of gun control...

I have a Browning BBR 30-06. On it I have a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x50. I purchased it with the thoughts that it was a good scope, it fit my budget, it had a lifetime warranty, good light gathering, and enough magnification for what I thought would be my needs. However, I missed the mark on the...

I posted earlier asking about pistols with 10mm/.22 conversions. After considering the experienced opinions here and talking personally with some marksmen I've abandoned the "single pistol" idea. I've purchased a Ruger Mark III 22/45 for my trigger time. I'm now going to be saving towards the...

I really enjoy TFL, but is there a list of commonly used acronyms posted anywhere? I have been unable to find such. I often know that I'm missing significant content because I don't know the acronyms used. My recreation time is precious and I'd rather just go someplace else rather than...

I've been out of shooting for 30+ years, but would like to get back into it. My intended uses are HD (not CC), hunting (as a backup hog killer), and target/plinking. I'd intended to get a .45 1911 just because years back I shot one and it "fit me" very well compared to a few other pistols I...

I understand the need to diminish the impact of my pulse. However I'm not all that keen on getting a shooting jacket, especially for hunting. What alternatives are there for pulse control when using a sling? Thanks in advance, Andrew Lindsay

I'm just getting back to riflery after being out 38 years. My dad passed down to me a nice Browning BBR that has got me going again. But I can't afford all the center-fire ammo it would take to bring my skills back up to par (or hopefully better). I needed an accurate rimfire. Yet with the...

I am just getting back into riflery after many years. I have a Browning BBR 30-06 Sprg. I don't have deep pockets and I don't want to mess with modifying the stock right now. With that in mind, I would appreciate any suggestions on products for recoil management. I do not know what would be...

I have my grandfathers old "run out the line" Mossberg .22; meaning Mossberg sold the barrel to Century Arms with parts from a few different models circa 1934. It was probably purchased from Montgomery Wards. It is the rifle I learned to shoot with as a child. It is in decent shape, but it...

I'm a bit confused on this. I had thought the Fusion was supposed to be the more accurate bullet. When I was in Cabela's the other day, the Fusion cost a bit more than the Premium. However, online I'm seeing the Fusion was 2/3 the price of the Premium. I'm just getting back to rifles after...

I'm looking for a single piece scope mount/base (and rings) for a Browning BBR (to mount a Nikon Prostaff 3/9x50 scope). I've checked with Midwest Gunworks (referred to from Browning) who had nothing and Brownell's that could only offer a 2 piece Redfield they said would fit. I've back new to...
