Oddly enough, now that I own the Ruger 10/22 takedown lite I now want a .22 pistol because, why not? lol Which brands/models do you guys like and why? I’ve been watching YouTube reviews of the Ruger SR22 and the S&W m&p 22 compact. I’m sure there are many others out there but for simplicity...

I picked up a 200 pk of Blazer .22 ammo the other day, only because it's made by CCI and CCI ammo was unavailable at my LGS. My question is, which company makes the most reliable .22 ammo? I've read that CCI is consistently good but beyond that i'm not sure who else falls into the reliable...

I’m seriously considering picking up the Ruger 10/22 take down but was curious if there are any known issues with it? It’s either the take down or the regular version. I find the take down appealing because of ease of transport and .22lr ammo is cheap and plentiful. It would make a good plinking...

Can you guys list all the known companies that manufacture lever gun peep sights? I don't know that I want to rely on the buckhorn sights since my vision isn't what it used to be. Right now I can only think of 3 companies: Lyman, Williams and Skinner. Any others worth looking at?

I've compiled a list of bolt action rifles that i've been researching and am curious which you would pick? If I can swing it, i'm hoping I can buy a new rifle with my tax refund along with a Leupold scope. I'll likely go for a .270 win. I want to use the rifle for hunting later down the road but...

Ok, this is my dream bolt-action rifle, so i'm curious if anyone here owns one? This is definitely on the high-end that i'd have to sell a kidney to afford, but it sure is pretty. I'm assuming this has a control round feed.

Is Howa considered a reputable company as far as their rifles are concerned? I’m not really a synthetic stock guy buy they have a carbon fiber rifle that looks kinda cool. No idea how reliable they are though

I'm going to install my Vortex Strike Eagle and was wondering, do I really need to buy one of these high priced scope levels, or will any cheap level from the hardware store do? Scope levels seem to be in a wide price range - some as low as $20 and others well over $100.

I want to install a Surefire flash hider on my S&W but was wondering if there was a noticeable increase in loudness. I know muzzle brakes increase loudness, which is what I’m trying to avoid. Will the flash hider have the same loudness as the standard A2 bird cage?

I just ordered the Vortex Strike Eagle scope and got a free cantilever mount with it. The one I got is a 2” offset. What does this mean? Is the offset the amount of eye relief? They had a 3” offset as well but I went with the 2”

I want to swap out my current drop in carbine length handguard for a longer free float handguard but honestly have no idea what this entails. My S&W m&p sport II is the basic version which I believe also has a carbine length gas block. I’ll likely bring my S&W into a gunsmith and have them...

I'm sure some of you own both of these pistols, so I want to solicit your opinions on these guns. I'm considering one of these as my next purchase, however, i'm conflicted on which to get. Some pros and cons would be appreciated. I do own the S&W M&P 2.0 compact but I don't have a CCW. In the...

I just ordered myself a Travel Berkey water purifier yesterday after watching reviews. Got it mainly for SHTF scenarios but was curious if there are any other brands out there worth looking into? The Travel Berkey is actually quite large when assembled, so I’m also looking for a smaller...

Can any of you weigh in on the effectiveness of 5.56 77gr ammo over say 5.56 55gr ammo? Also, does twist rate matter between these two cartridges? My S&W M&P sport II has a 1:9 twist rate, but I read a couple of articles that suggested 5.56 77gr is best used in a barrel with a 1:7 or 1:8 twist...

So I’m torn between two rifle slings for my Winchester 94. The first is the Montana Sling and the second is the Slogan Outdoors Ultraflex sling. I used to own the Montana Sling yrs ago but no more after my divorce. I had it on my Browning A-Bolt and liked it a lot as I thought it fit well and...

I'm looking for a slip on recoil pad for my Winchester 94 and needed some recommendations. Scheels had the Limb Saver brand and maybe 1 or 2 others I didn't recognize, but i'm not sure if those were slip on. Is Limb Saver considered the industry standard, or are there other reputable brands out...

So who makes a good gun sock? I was watching a video by Hickock45 and he recommends them as a rust preventative and to keep your guns from getting dinged up in storage. Looking for a gun sock for my pistol and rifles.

When the protests and rioting happened last Spring, I, like millions of other Americans, went out and purchased a firearm and ammo. My reasons were 1) genuine fear for my safety due to the increase in crime 2) not wanting to be defenseless if I ever were put into a life or death situation and 3)...

Figured I’d start one of these threads and perhaps discover someone new. I like: Warrior Poet Society Mrgunsngear GarandThumb TrexArms ColionNoir Any other notable YouTubers worth checking out? I tend to lean more towards the educational videos and product reviews, although some do...

I ask because my S&W m&p 2.0 is the no safety variant, but as it applies to self defense, I wouldn't want to forget to disengage the safety when fear and adrenaline are pumping and seconds count. I think this boils down to proper training and muscle memory if i'm not mistaken. My biggest...
