    Optimal barrel length for sabot slugs

    Looking at a dedicated Remington slug gun in 12 gauge and I see fully rifled barrels from 20-25 inches, (the SPS shurshot is 25 inches.) For a scoped rifled barrel is there a real performance difference between the barrel lengths.

    AR15 Opinions, brand

    I've been shooting two cheaper AR15s the last couple of years. One is a very cheap M&P Sport and the other is a Windham Weaponry AR15. Both have run great, heavy to moderate use and no issues with either. Started looking at a Colt 6970/40/20 series. Do you see a real benefit to spending a little...

    Glock Customer Service, excellent

    I had a very good experience with Glock customer service this past week. Calls answered by a real person and then tech assistance each time I called. They then went out of their way to assist me with shipping the firearm back for repair.

    Fiber Optic sights Ruger Blackhawk

    Anyone have a fiber optic sight set for Ruger Blackhawk 357. I've found front sights but not a set. Williams makes a set for the Single Six, would that rear sight work? My eyes aren't what they use to be.

    Win BRI Sabot, fail

    Lost my second deer using 12 gauge 2 3/4 BRI sabot. First year with this slug in fully rifled barrel I shot a small doe and required two follow up shots. Last year I had a solid hit at less than 50yds on a big doe which required a lot of tracking and ending in losing her to coyotes overnight...

    Ruger Blackhawk Convt 357/9mm

    I have the itch for a 4 5/8 Blackhawk in 357. For not much more $ the convt with a 9mm cylinder is available at my LGS. Is it worth it? How does it shoot with the 9mm cylinder? I can purchase 9mm ammo cheaper than 38spl or 357 mag for plinking.

    Hornady XTP vs all others

    The last couple of years I got into ballistics and punching paper groups at longer ranges with my ML. I switched from the XTP to the poly tipped bullets. I'm currently shooting the T/C shockwave. Here is my own observations. At the range the poly tipped wonders shoot great and they work very...

    Mossberg 500, 590 & 590a1

    Local Walmart had a Mossberg 500 tactical on the shelf. Park finish, 18.5 barrel with a breaching type break at the end. Looked nice and then I noticed a 500 persuader with 20 inch barrel and cheap blue finish with only 7 shot tube. Now I'm really confused. I know the 590a1 is beefed up (heavy...

    Rem 887 Nitro Mag

    Did Remington fix this gun? The bad reviews I've seen are all dated two or three years ago. The price is right but I don't want to buy a problem.

    S&W 500 question

    Question about the two different 8 3/8 barrels. One has the compensator built in (offered with HiViz sight) and the other at the end of the barrel. Does one work better than the other and are the overall lengths the same or is the second one 8 3/8 plus the compensator. S&W catalog list them...

    Remington 870 express

    Recently purchased a Rem. 870 express and I couldn't be happier. I've had bad luck with Remington in the past (about ten years ago) but this one is really nice and runs smooth. Even the wood stock is better than expected. I'm very impressed with this shotgun.

    Light fast handling 20g for upland game

    I have been on a quest for a better upland game gun, (grouse, rabbit, close in pheasant and yes squirrels.) My long barrel 12 gauges have limited my hit ratio in heavy brush. I wanted a sxs or o/u with imp cyl and mod chokes but I have become disheartened with reviews and opinions of the lower...

    Benelli barrel cost a deal breaker

    Just about to pull the trigger on a new Benelli Nova pump when I found a 18 inch with rifled sights at a great price. I figured I would just buy a 28 inch barrel for bird hunting. If you can find a Nova barrel for sale on the net the cost is around $375.00! A brand new gun is $399.00. This has...

    480 Ruger

    Anyone use the 480 Ruger for hunting. Searching for premium 44 mag ammo the last two days and it's mostly been sold out or "on back order" but there is plenty of 480 ammo available on the net. I'm not a fan of the Super Redhawk platform and I never felt the need for the super magnums but the 480...

    Did Ruger stop making the Redhawk

    Just checked the Sturm Ruger Website and I no longer see the Redhawk listed. Did they stop producing the Redhawk revolvers???

    heavier bullets in SBH

    I usually fire 240 grain through my SBH with some knuckle bite from the dragoon trigger guard. The worst I've gotten was from 180 Remingtons. How are the heavier bullets, say 260-300 grain. I've been looking at the 300 xtp load and was wondering how the kick compares to 240 WWB. Factory loads...
