    new Model 48 --

    having just fired my new model S&W 48, and knowing the action will smooth out some in time, the trigger is a little heavier than I like. --- I remember in the past replacing the hammer spring with a somewhat lighter Wolf spring-- Watching that I don't go too far and start getting light hits...

    stiff hammer on model 78

    I have a Browning B78 single shot in 30-06--This one was made in Japan---I've had it for about five years or so and thought it would be easier to cock the hammer by hand as the gun breaks in, but it is still extremely stiff---do any of you out there have this model and have the same issue...

    CZ's new .22 rifles

    Just had my local gun shop checking on prices and availability on the full stocked .22 and he found a model 452. The supplier had one left. I had one of these several years ago and it was an outstanding rifle---- unfortunately, I sold it to buy something else at the time--- I had been looking...

    The 300 WSM ??

    Maybe some of you can enlighten me--- I had a vanguard chambered in 300wsm, a little easier to shoot than the full length Winchester 300 magnums and by far the most accurate rifle I've ever owned---also had a beautiful Rem 700 chambered in the 300 short mag---now as I go thru Buds looking for a...

    Info from 92FS owners

    I'm ready to push the "buy" button on a new 92 FS from Bud's but just wondering, what does the JS92F300M, ahead of the 92 FS mean in the description? I want the first one listed in the Beretta section, the Italian 92FS, but just wanting to be sure I'm getting the basic Italian 92FS--- I just...

    The proper ammo --

    I was just given a sweet little Beretta auto, model 950 B, cal .22 short, will these also fire a "long" and is the "long" even still available ? I've not seen any .22 short or long ammo ---I'm very aware of the current .22 ammo shortage and I have a small stash of .22 long rifle but I'll need...

    The CZ autos --

    I've owned five different CZ rifles and they were very well made and extremely accurate, so I'm already a CZ fan --- here lately, I've been thinking real seriously about getting a new 75B or possibly the 85---are there any CZ auto owners out there that can give me some information such as how...

    New CZ 557 Carbine

    Just picked up my new 557 Carbine and am in the process of putting together a good scope set up---plenty of info on the 550 series with scope rings listed for them from several different sources, but my question is, will the various 1" rings made for the 19mm dovetail on the 550's work on the...

    New H&R in .35 Whelen

    Just recently bought an H&R for the single shot, exposed hammer, primitive weapon caliber stipulations in some states and am looking for some info on the caliber---I know it's based on a necked up 30-06 case and the gun shop owner and a few others have mentioned that the recoil is...

    New Bushnell bore sighter ??

    Just got one of the Bushnell laser bore sighters, the small tapered one with the attachments on the end to fit the different bores, and I just have one question about how to use it----directions state, if you use it at the range, then of course you can just dial in cross hairs on the red dot at...

    New 8-shooter from Ruger--

    Went up to my favorite gun store yesterday to really check out the new SP 101 in .22 LR--I'd seen it before but after reading many reviews on the net, I wanted to check it out thoroughly myself due to some of the reviews commented on the extreme trigger pull, both single and double action---this...

    Medical question--

    I'm currently recovering from a quadruple bypass--been home now for almost three weeks, it's healing well and the home nurse has been impressed with my good vital signs and bloodwork---the question is, have any of you been in a similar situation or know of someone who has and how many months of...

    New GP 100 today----

    Traded a nice but seldom used rifle for a new 6 inch stainless Gp today--came with the comfortable but somewhat ugly black rubber grips--I'll be ordering some woods for it, but thought I'd see if I can talk some of you GP owners into posting some photos of yours with wood grips to give me an...

    Question for fellow #1 owners

    On all my bolt actions, I hold the trigger back while closing the bolt to relieve the pressure on the spring, but what method is reccomended for the Rugers? Just pull the trigger after it's cleaned ? One of mine is in .204, is there still enough "shoulder" on the firing pin that this will not...

    Shooting ear protection

    I very cleverly walked off the range and left my ear muffs hanging next to the gunrack--since they are now long gone I'm in the market for a new pair--what suggestions would you all have for a decent set of muffs, say $30 to $75 dollar range and where do I get them? I realize that the better...

    New Remington coating----

    At least it's one I haven't had before----just bought a new 700, brown laminated stock with the "black" coated barrel, reciever and even the bolt body---I've had it out to the range and it shoots as expected, but can any of you give me any info on this coating? Like what exactly is it? Does it...

    new Savage .22 mag -- accuracy?---

    I just recently bought a new Savage in .22 mag---free floated barrel, accu-trigger, decent walnut stock etc, seemed like a lot of gun for the just over $200 price from Bud's---ordered the rings for this model, 93G, and mounted a decent 3-9x40 Bushnell on it. Been out to the range with it four...

    Good price on older ADL ?

    Stopped by one of my LGS's today and found a nearly pristine ADL in .270 for $399---has one or two very small marks on stock that have to be pointed out to see them, all the blueing is superb, stock finish is very good and bore looks like new---my only question is that it has a round bolt knob...

    220 Swift reload story--

    I asked a shooting buddie who also has a Ruger 77 in 220 swift if he had any 50 grainers, either factory or reloads he would sell me--[the LGS's only had 40 or 45 grain ammo in stock]--he reloads a lot and I said I'd have no problem with that so bought 40 rounds from him and headed to the...
