    Anyone else notice this? M&P

    Every time I dry fire an M&P---the front sight bounces around all over---I think its something with how the trigger stacks. If dry fire my P95(double action-hammer down) the front sight doesn't move at all---same with a Sigma----neither of these is known for a particularly light...

    Is the .300 WSM Enough for the Bigger Critters??

    I'm seriously considering a new .300 WSM rifle as do all jack-of-all-trades rifle. If I bought one--should I feel comfortable that the .300 WSM is capable of taking moose, elk, and the big bears with correct shot placement??? Or should I be looking at something more along the lines of a .300...

    Accuracy Frustration---GGGGGRRRR

    I have a new Remington 700 Titanium .270----the first time out - I tried various loads and bullet weights and managed to get several excellent groups with the half a box of 5 year old 130gn Hornady Custom loads my buddy gave me. I bought several new boxes of the same load and have been out...

    Reminton 700 ADL Laminate?????

    I was in the local Super Wally's last night and did my usual looking over the guns. There was a Remington Model 700 ADL with a laminated stock in .270 in the display for $429. It was a good looking rifle---but I can't seem to find any more info on it---nothing on the Remington web site or...

    Which One Would You Get and Why?

    I'm currently looking 3 rifles at different shops that are all at the same price point of $599 for one reason or another. I basically just want a decent back-up rifle to my Remington Titanium 700 in .270--should anything go wrong with that rifle while out hunting a long way from home. I already...

    Any info on the .338-06 A-Square??

    The local shop has a Weatherby Ultra-light in .338-06 A-Square on the rack. This rifle has me really interested---its just that I'd like to know more about it before I actually buy it. I realize ammo is hard to come by and expensive----but couldn't I just handload using .30-06 cases and .338...

    How to's on Stock Refinishing??

    I already did a search and most info was about old military rifles. I always overlook the shiny Brownings--Remingtons--Weatherbys etc.-- because I can't stand the looks of the shiny stocks. I've found a rifle I really like except for the finish on the stock. How would I go about stripping a...

    What's the Very Best .45 for Under $1000

    I finally got a chance to shoot my Sig P245 last weekend---it didn't live up to expectations and I've already ditched it. Other than a P245---What's the most bang for the buck .45 auto out there for $1000 or less?? Single or Double action doesn't matter-----What's the Best???

    Which Scope for a .300 Ultra???

    What's the general opinion on how this cartridge should be used?? Looking in the Cabela's catalog at Leupold scopes---- I've noticed the higher powered scopes offer even more eye-relief than the basic all-round 3x9 or 3.5x10. Several situations come to mind. 1. Use a low powered scope (1.5x5)...

    Remington 11-87 Upland Special---Opinions or Experience??

    I've had a Ruger Red Label---a SKB O/U---and a Benelli Montrofeltro and they always sat in the closet---because I was always afraid I would beat up my high-dollar shotgun. I couldn't justify having that much money wrapped up in something I wasn't using---so they are gone now. Now I have a...

    .257 Wby Mag---Too Much Gun???

    I bought Weatherby SLS in .257 Wby mag a couple years ago---mainly because the price was right. It has a 26 inch sporter contour barrel and a laminated stock. Scoped up weight is around 10 lbs. This rifle is a tack-driver using 100 gn. factory loads---we've clocked this load at 3700 fps...

    Scopes--Leupold VX-2 vs Burris Fullfield 2 vs Weaver Variables

    I've been playing musical scopes lately--between my old rifles---my new rifles and the one on lay-a-way. Anyway- I now need to buy at least 2 new scopes and maybe a third--depending if I decide to use the 3x9x50 monster I currently own. All my current scopes are Leupold Vari-X II's-----Seems...

    .338 Questions????????????

    I picked up a NIB stainless Ruger 77 in .338 Win mag last weekend. I got a good deal on this one--although I don't have much use for a .338--I've always wanted one. This rifle has the old skeletonized stock--not that crappy new one. I've never actually touched off a .338----Is the recoil a...
