I finally took some pics of my 629 Classic PowerPort. All I need now is a base and ring set, so I can attach my 2x Leupold. Question is, which loads for Whitetail?

Anyone have a problem with the tritium inserts in Ashley Big Dot sights? I recently installed a set on my Hi-Power about a month ago, and I am all ready waiting for my third front sight. The two previous front sights lost all illumination, and you can't see a thing in the dark. I have had no...

Can someone please provide me with a link to the S&W web forum?

What is the difference between the 629-4 and the newer 629-5? Is the newer "dash five" a stronger 629 than the previous models? Also, I have seen a lot of comments on the strength of the 629, and how it cannot stand up to the same loads as a RedHawk. My question is, how long would a 629...

I just picked up a S&W 629 Classic .44 with the 6.5" power port barrel. I plan on using it for deer/hogs this fall, and I may put a scope on it. However, I am not very familiar with the port on the barrel. How effecient is it? What kind of accuracy can I expect at 50 yards? What is the...

I recently came across a S&W 629 Classic .44 mag in stainless, with the 6" or 6.5" factory ported barrel (not sure). The gun is in very good condition, and is very tight. What is the approximate value of this gun?

I recently purchased a bow, so now I think I will get in to bowhunting this year. Does anyone know of any good archery sites on the web?

There is an excellent debate on the viability of Britain survivng without US assistance during WWII, but I have another question (or different scenario). Let's say Germany invaded Russia first. How would the world have reacted? The US clearly would have not bothered, and I'm not sure Britain...

I need a recommendation on a good load for a 69gr BTHP Matchking out of a 16" AR. Thanks!

I recently acquired a Browning BLR lever-rifle in .308 Wincheter. The gun was made in 1971, and was made in Belgium. From what I understand, the BLR's were only made in Belgium from 1969-1972, and there after were all "Japan" guns. The rifle is in very good condition, easily around 90-92%...

I am considering making my 6" Model 19 a hunting pistol, but I am concerned about how strong the pistol is. Can the 19 handle many high pressure rounds, or would I be better off with a 586 or 686? I probably wouldn't shoot the gun more than 30-50 times a year with full .357 loads, and the rest...

I recently acquired a 6" S&W Model 19 .357, and I am considering using it as a close-range deer gun (no more than 50 yards). My questions are: Who offers strong enough loads for deer? Georgia requires a minimum of 500 ft. lbs of energy, so I would need a fairly hot 150-180 grain load. Also...

Anyone reload .300 Whisper? I am in the process of building an AR with a .300 Whisper upper, and I wanted to go ahead and get some tips on reloading.

Does anyone remember whether or not the Ruger No. 3 was chambered for .444 Marlin? I know it was offered in 45/70, but I'm not sure if Ruger ever made any in .444 Marlin. Thanks!

I'm new to coyote hunting, and I wanted to see if anyone else here at TFL does much coyote hunting here in Georgia.

I have been wanting one of the No 1's, and I finally bought one last weekend at the gun show. I came across a good deal on a No 1H 7x57, so I had to get it. My question is, do these guns truly need a lot of tuning to make accurate (modifying forend pressure, etc), or are they fairly accurate...

I have decided on one of the Tasco scopes for my AR, preferably in the flavor of 4-16X or 6-24X. Anyone have any experience with the Mag IV and Target?Varmint scopes? The T/V scope comes with the mil-dot reticle, while the Mag IV comes with the standard Tasco reticle. They are pretty close in...

This is a question for all the reloaders out there. I am contemplating reloading .223, but I can't decide if the accuracy/cost difference will be enough to justify buying a reloading kit. I realize there are some very good .223 factory loads on the market, but I am curious to see if reloaded...

I picked up a new RRA AR-15 this weekend, so I thought I would post a pic to see what everyone thinks. What scope rings/mounts do you recommend? Are the aluminum billet mounts as good as the solid steel? Also, what would be the best scope to buy for targets and varmints (mostly coyote)...

I am in the process of building a tactical rifle, which will include a suppressor, so I need a .308. I have narrowed it down to either the Savage Tactical or Remington PSS in .308. I have read that the Savage is just as accurate as the Remington, so is the Remington worth the extra $300? I'm...
