Ok, I took the plunge and sold my Ruger Red Label 12g to Cabelas. They rated it at 98% and gave me $750. I know a private sale would have netted me more money, but I did not want to deal with the admin. I was hoping to get into the new gun for what I made on the Ruger plus $200 I set aside...

I have a 1990s Springfield P9 (CZ75 clone) in 9mm which is generally well made, reliable and accurate. The trigger, however, is gritty. I took it to a gunsmith to have a trigger job done around six weeks ago and it was supposed to be done before today. I called and he had not even started...

I am in the process of altering my .308 Weatherby Vanguard S2 and would like some feedback from the peanut gallery. The rifle is at a gunsmith now, having the barrel shortened from 24" to 21". I hunt in Western PA where the woods can be pretty dense and almost all shots are under 100 yards. It...

Has anyone here shortened and re-crowned a barrel? Has anyone cold-blued exposed metal on a rifle? I am contemplating shortening my Weatherby Vanguard S2 barrel from 24" to 20" or 21". Ole Larry Potterfield from Midway USA makes it look so easy on his videos, but I am nervous that I will ruin an...

I just read that Cerberus is planning to sell the Freedom Group which owns Remington, Marlin, Bushmaster, Advanced Armament, DPMS, Dakota Arms and H&R. Wouldn't it be great if FN bought them and brought the same high manufacturing quality to the products of these brands as they have to...

A month ago I took my rifle (Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308 with Redfield Revolution 2-7 scope) to the range to confirm zero and see which brand of ammo it liked best. At the end of the session it was right on target and shooting tight groups with several different brands and weights of ammo...

Is the new Weatherby SA08s rebranded Armsan (Turkish) A620s? If so, is it exactly the same gun, or are there some minor differences? Are Armsan A620s less expensive and available in the US? As always, thanks if advance for your help.

While at Dicks in Arlington Heights, IL yesterday I saw a Remington 11-87 synthetic in 20 gauge on sale for $449.99. At Basspro the same gun is $699.99. I don't know if this is a national or local sale, but wanted to give 11-87 lovers a heads up.

Is anyone here planning on buying a Savage 11? Savage 11 combos with Nikon BDC scopes are on sale at Dick's in Arlington Heights, IL for $499.99. The model on sale has the synthetic stock and detachable magazine. I'm not sure if this is a national sale or local, but wanted to give you Savage...

Has anyone here used a Sims Barrel De-Resonator or similar product? Do they really work? They get great reviews on Cabelas' website, but I am always a bit leery about online customer reviews. http://reviews.cabelas.com/8815/227667/sims-limbsaver-barrel-de-resonator-reviews/reviews.htm?page=2

I have been thinking about getting a 20 gauge semi auto for hunting and shooting clays. The Weatherby SA08 has gotten good reviews and I finally handled one at Cabelas. It was light, seemed well made, and fit me well. Better yet, it was $499 at full retail. Does anyone here have experience...

Weatherby Vanguard S2, .308 Win: $425 Redfield Revolution 2-7 scope: $165 Box of Remington CoreLokt 180gr: $19.99 Shooting a 9/16" group with an entry level rifle and scope using inexpensive factory ammunition that is sold everywhere: priceless.

Does anyone in the forum have a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308 with the standard 24" barrel? What hunting ammo does yours like? I have some Rem Core-Lokt 150gr, Core-Lokt 180 gr, Federal 150 gr and Winchester 150 gr. I would also like to try some 165/168 gr. I am hoping someone here ran a...

I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308 with a 24" barrel, and after one trip to the range to break in the barrel, zero the sights and shoot my first group (1.25 inch with Rem CoreLokt) I have been happy with it. It is accurate, well made and the trigger is wonderful (but then I am...

While at Cabelas today I had the chance to handle a Ruger American and TC Venture (which are back in the stores after a recall). The Ruger feels just plain cheap. It might shoot great, but the materials and fit & finish are bargain basement. In contrast, the TC seems better made and more...

Anyone here have a Sig-Hammerli Trailside .22? How does it shoot? Is it easy to break down and clean? Does Sig still make them (I couldn't find it on their website)?

Do any members know of an honest gun reviewer, or review site, that will post both favorable and unfavorable reviews of rifles and shotguns? It seems like all the reviews I see online - from Field and Stream to Gunblast - are puff pieces where all the rifles shoot one MOA and are 'the best the...
