Didn't know where else to put this thread and URL... A.G. Russell, the knife guy, has created this website with MOH citations from WWII, Korea, and VietNam. If you haven't ever read these, they will humble you. They do me, anyway. http://www.theblessingsofliberty.com/medal_of_honor/

I had a Browning BLR 81 straight grip (old style, steel) in .308 that I now regret selling. I am intrigued by the new BLR Takedown model recently introduced, and am considering it (even at twice what I sold the old one for...dohhh!). Anyone have any experience with them? Is the pistol grip...

Well, I don't visit here often anymore, after being a regular for years. Here's a question to rattle the cage though, and stimulate some discussion: Why does it seem like more than a few "name" instructors have inordinately large, or even massive, egos? (And no, I won't name names...they or the...

Gents, I moved out of SoCal a few years ago, and swore I wouldn't go back to Cali. I'm in MT now, one of the gun-friendliest states in the Union. Great hunting, shall-issue CCWs, "black" rifles welcome, etc. I have a CCW, do firearms training, am a reserve deputy sheriff, and hunt a lot. The...

per Rich's post on AOL: AOL does suck. I've been using tit for 8 years, and seen it go steadily downhill... this in addition to their megalomania. Grrrr. Some of us though, don't have a lot of good choices, and AOL is still useful for some thing... like if you travel. I've been using AOL with...

In the last two years hunting medium/big game (4 deer, one antelope, and one elk), I've tried several bullets: Nosler Partition and Ballistic Tips, and Trophy Bonded Bear Claws, with mixed results. In studying those results, and doing some extensive post-season reading this year on the subject...

I bagged my first elk last weekend. Well, you don't really "bag" an elk, unless you quarter and bone it ;) I was hunting with my regular hunting partner, on a ranch in Two Dot, MT. It borders the national forest on the N end of the Crazy Mountains, and there's a "resident" elk herd of more than...

Hi... Any single-shot aficionados out there? I have on lawaway a gun I like, but don't "need" (what the heck is "need" anyway ;) ). It's a Browning LoWall 1885 in .243 caliber (currently it's only offered in .260 Rem and .220 Swift, I think, weirdly enough). The gun is SO lovely in an...

New reports today say that Jesse Jackson may be embarking on a "humanitarian" mission to Afghanistan. He says the Taliban contacted him, and they say Jackson contacted them. Oh my, which to believe, knowing that Jesse is such a modest, self-effacing non-egotistical person with no national...

My big brother has a source‹ and I have to be vague‹ in the White House. This source is a member of the President's protection detail, and due to the recent events, is in every room with Bush, when the Pres is working. He, the agent, is very encouraged by what he sees: the capability...

I can highly recommend a firearms trainer I've just taken two advanced pistol classes with. His name is PAT (Patrick) GOODALE. I have taken several courses with Gabe Suarez and some others, so I have some perspective. Let me add that this is not a paid advertisement: I paid for his classes, and...

I am in a quandary. I am left-handed mostly, but somewhat ambidextrous, and my RIGHT eye is dominant (dammit!). I shoot handguns left-handed A-OK (cheating my head over to use the right eye), but for rifle shooting with scopes, I'm thinking of switching to right-handed shooting. My dominant...

Well, not literally. I did sell my trusty '84 vintage stainless GMT Master today for a grand cash, which I bought in Berlin for $600. Then I went to the department store and "bought me a Timex." ;) I told my wife I was going to do it, and she said "Honey, we can use that money to go to...
