    What's wrong with my set up?

    Attempted to site in my brand new Savage BVSS 308, and had an unpleasant result. Initial site in from the mounting set up performed by Cabellas was done at 50 yards. I was satisfied that the grouping was OK at 50 yds, even though I had what I considered a flyer or 2. Results at 100 yds. were...

    What will it be? Your opinions, please

    Hey folks, I'm looking to buy a 308 to be used primarily for target shooting, out to 300 yards. Since this is poking holes, I want a heavy barrel, floated and accurate. Budget, including nice high-power scope is $1,200 or so. (I'm getting older, and just dig magnification). I've looked at the...

    My first 1911 - your thoughts please

    As the title suggests, I'm hungry to add a 1911 to my growing collection. The Ruger SR1911 looked very appealing to me, and I'm very happy with my Ruger SR9C, but, they're not available anywhere.

    Holster SR9C w Crimson Trace

    CC went live here in WI yesterday, and I still haven't found a holster for my new Ruger. I returned a Blade Tech plastic type because it barely held the pistol. Any sudden jerk or body movement and I'd see my pistol fly out. So, I know I want/need a hip mount, outside of waistband with Secure...
