I have a TC Encore 45-70 Pistol barrel that I use for deer hunting. This year I shot some 300 and 405 grain factory rifle loads out of the barrel. They shot good and was cleaning both sides of a plastic 55 gallon drum at 50-60 yards. But, my question is since the gun has a 12" barrel, would...

So I am going to get into reloading and handloading for some of my rifles. I decided I'm going to start with 45-70 and 6mm Remington. I will likely expand to other cartridges, possibly 30-30, 22-250 and 357 Mag for my other family members. I'm stuck on trying to decide as to which company has...

My question is can you load a 45-70 down as far as bullet size by using something like a 45 Long Colt style bullet? The reason I'm asking is I would love to see what a 250 grain bullet would do to a coyote (as I'm not too concerned about pelts, just protecting the farm critters...) So can it...

So once again my buddy and I went on a huge rant this morning. What in the world has happened to single and double set triggers on classic and performance rifles? The only company offering this is CZ (While good, not American made) what is everyone else thinking? See, if there was an American...

So my friend and I were looking at some oddball varmint rounds this morning. A lot of the Ackley stuff, some weird metric rounds and then one caught my eye. 6mm Remington has some pretty sweet ballistics, I hadn't ever really noticed it before. So, what is the overall capability of the 6mm...

So through some research I have found out that my BLR was made in 1977 and is for sure Japanese made. (I wish it was Belguim made but oh well). The wood on it is pretty nice, but nothing spectacular so I think I might replace... I want this thing to be the ultimate coyote gun too. It has...

So I was at the local screw-you center today and the guy just so happened to have a Jap made BLR 81 in 243 Win. He told me $500 + tax so roughly $535 out the door. Is this a good deal or not? Based on the Blue Book I kind of think so but I'm unsure. I'm thinking try to haggle them down some...

I have been wanting a good center fire coyote gun to add to the collection. Right now it is an H&R Handi-Rifle in 45-70, which while overkill it will most likely do the job (I haven't had time to proof test it). Either way, I want something that will bowl over yotes in the heat of the hunt. I...

So I ran into one of those guys that gives hunting a bad name today, but I won out. I was sitting in the woods when a rifle shot went off, stood up and saw 3 bucks running about 150 yards off. I took a shot but knew it wasn't gonna do anything, but it turned out I got three does turned towards...

Okay, so I have been looking at tang and soule sights recently. I would like to eventually set up a sharps rig to plink around with as I have fallen deeply in love with the 45-70 Government :o... But, here is the thing, I have a deal coming up in which I might be able to get a hold of one at a...

Okay, so I have been trying to talk myself into getting a Buffalo Classic for Christmas. I love my Handi-Rifle and Encore single shot 45-70s and would like to expand the collection. If I were to buy one, I want it to be rigged out with some kind of period sight gear. I have thought about tang...

What is the most dependable and most accurate slug gun out there? I'm talking overall value for the money you put into it, the performance will be the best. I don't care what manufacturer, or model, your opinions only. I have though a long time about getting a dedicated slug gun and this...

So I've never patterned a shotgun before, and I would like to do my Franchi. I bought it for a good waterfowl gun, but I haven't really shot it a whole lot. I know what lead loads shoot well through it and have a few steel shells that I want to try, but I want to see how the spread is. How do...

So I recently picked up a cheap Bausch & Lomb at the local shop used. It has a few nicks from scope rings, but for $100 for a 6-24x40 with Target Knobs, I couldn't resist. The only thing is that I have become completely stumped as to what happened to them. From what I have found out, they are...

So I've always wanted a good brush gun for tromping through the woods with. Any woods, any place, any time...just a rugged rifle that would take a beating if I decided to throw one at it. But, the thing is that it would need to be versatile. I want the round to be good for anything from...

Okay, so what is MOA? I know it is something about shooting 1" groups or under at 100 yards, right? How do I calculate it? If I shoot sub-MOA at 100, what can expect at 500 with practice? How do I use that to compensate for how far down my bullet will be at different ranges? How can I use...

So after taking my 308 to the range, I think I want to get a muzzle brake put on it. Not so much for the felt recoil part of things but more for accuracy sakes. I shot my buddies 300 Win Mag with it open and closed, huge difference. I want to be able to put a bullet where I want at 300-500...

Mounting on a 308 Win Savage 110 FP. The goal is long-range coyote (100-500 yards) and good mid-range varminting (1-300 yards). These are the scopes: Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 Mil-Dot w/ AO and Finger Adjustable Turrets Super Sniper 16x42 Mil-Dot w/ AO and Finger Adjustable Turrets Weaver...

Okay, so I was just checking out this scope: So, does anybody have reviews on them? It says it is made by Yukon who seems to be into the Night Vision market. Good or bad on Yukon and their Sightmark tactical scopes, I want reviews! I have never run into this company before and don't want...

What i the difference in mounting a 1" tube vs. a 30mm? Is there any great difference or is it just preference? Can the same rings be used or will it foul during mounting or not even fit at all? I'm confused! Please help! Thanks, F-C
