I'm looking at these 2 in either .308 or .30-.06. Opinions and/or experience with them? I like the fact that both can be had with open sights. I also looked at the Remington (750 Woodsman?) but there seems to be a lot of negative experiences with it.

I was just wondering what people's experience and opinions are of them? Apparently Taurus has discontinued theirs. http://www.uberti.com/firearms/Lightning.tpl http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/RepeatingRifles/LightningRifle.htm#...

Assuming equal weights. Just wondering.

I'm interested in a semi-auto (magazine fed), non-AR rifle, preferably in .3... caliber. Want it for target shooting and maybe hunting. Accurate to 400-500 yards (which eliminates a .30 carbine). Outside of the Springfield M1A, are there any others (not interested in pump action either)? Thanks.

My requirements in searching have been: 1) 30oz or less empty 2) 8 round (or more) magazines 3) 4-4.25 inch barrel I've narrowed it down to the folowing: Colt XSE Commander (Lightweight): http://www.coltsmfg.com/cmci/XSE.asp S&W 1911PD...

I own a Model 60 and am thinking about a Marlin levergun. Is there .357 ammo that is good (low/moderate recoil & flash with good penetration & expansion) out of a snub as well as out of a rifle?

I went to a local range today to rent a few 9mms to help me decide on what my next gun will be. I have shot the Glock 19 a few times in the past and my impressions were always the same: I can shoot lights out with it but hated how it felt in my hands (I have relatively small hands). I wanted to...

Anyone have one or any experience shooting one? http://www.berettausa.com/product/spotlight/spotlight_cowboy_goldrush.cfm

I've run across Lake City .30 Carbine ammunition several times. Seems to come in bulk. Is it any good? How does it compare to Remington FMJ? Thanks.

I'm thinking about getting a .38/.357 rifle to go along with my revolvers for a "bug out" situation. Knowing that the old standbys (Winchester, Marlin) are levers and the mid-level manufacturers (Taurus, Rossi) have pumps, I'm just wondering which action is more reliable and easier to use in a...

Came across a used Para Carry 12 LDA .45 for $550. Looks to be in decent shape. I think new ones are around $800-$900. Is it worth it? If so, anything specific to look for? Only came with 1 mag. Thanks.

Without getting into details, I'm going to have to sell one of my revolvers. I can't decide between my Colt Detective Special (3rd issue) and my Smith & Wesson Model 940 (9mm, 3" barrel). Both are used but in equally good shape. What I am definitely keeping in my collection is my Smith Model 60...

I just wanted to share my experiences with my new AO M1 Carbine. My first time out (about 2 months ago) I ran 50 rounds of Magtech and 50 rounds of Wolf. I had about 8 "fail to feeds". 4 with the Magetech and 4 with the Wolf ammo. I was using USGI used mags that I had bought on...

I've recently become interested in a .45 ACP revolver (3" barrel) and was wondering how the recoil/flip is in comparison to a .357? Any info would help. Thanks.

I was just wondering: should I be using the regular 125gr .38spl +P or the 135gr .38spl +P "Short Barrel" in my 3" S&W 64? Is the "Short Barrel" ammo only for barrels under 2 inches? On their website, the performance numbers are from a 4 inch barrel for the 125gr and from a 2 inch barrel for...

Does anyone know if it is available for civilians? I don't see why not, but only appears as an option in BUSA's LE catalog. Has anyone tried it? If so, how heavy is the trigger? Thanks.

I'm looking for another 9mm that is DAO with an external safety. I have a Taurus Mill Pro and I like that setup. I know a 24/7 is one option. I know the Springfield XD fits that description, but I don't like the idea of the grip safety (its just me). Are there any other makes that I'm missing? I...

I'm looking for another DAO semi-auto that also has an external safety (I have a Taurus Mill Pro and like that setup). I think the HK USPc has that option. I just want to know: does DAO = LEM on the USPc? http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/index.jsp?loc=101&SITEID=A&PartNumber=704531 Is the Variant...

I was glancing through this magazine in a bookstore and it said the new AO M1 carbines (which they called their "Saginaw" model), while made up of newly manufactured parts, would be interchangeable with USGI surplus parts. I know this was a factor in some people's decision as to whether or not...

In learning about ARs and the .223, I see a lot of talk about the bullet fragmenting at about 2600-2700 fps. It sounds like it needs to do this to be most effective. I believe most of this talk centers around military FMJ/ball .223 ammo. My question is: do other types of .223 ammo (HP, SP) also...
