    Savage Model 10 frustrations, I want a wood stock!

    I recently bought a nice, low round count Savage Model 10, .243win, SN G537xxx, gloss blueing, blind magazine. It has a synthetic stock but the rifle is just too nice overall to be sitting in cheap plastic. I want a wood stock but I do not like the laminates. Numerich listed a stock for it...

    Pacific press owners, finally a new primer catcher tray!

    I have two Pacifics, a C and a Super Deluxe. I like to use them but with no way to catch primers, I just didn't. I mentioned on another reloading forum that I was looking for a tray(one tray will fit all of the Pacifics) and a member there that does 3D printing volunteered to make one and as...

    I'm looking for a 1/10-1/12 twist .223 bolt gun

    Not a benchrest gun, I want something to hunt with, mostly groundhogs etc. My plans are to load light bullets, 40g-50g Ruger has everything in 1/8 twist, Mossburg has the MVP in 1/9 twist, Savage has the 11/111 in 1/9 twist. Tikka shows some promise with both a 1/8 and 1/12 twist listed on...

    The 30-30, who says they can't shoot distance!

    I recently bought a Savage 340A. That rifle lead me to the reloading world so that I could make some 130g spitzer rounds for it. After some load development I now have it dialed in and its a tack driver! 130g Hornady SP pushed by Reloader 15. Clean and accurate! With Williams FP-TK rear sight...

    9mm "plinking" load

    Looking for recommendations for a good 9mm plinking round, 115g FMJ bullet, that will work well/cycle well, in all of my 9mm handguns. Accuracy is not really all that important, just a good safe round. What powder/load do you all suggest. I have most of the popular powders. I finally gathered...

    Ruger American .223 1/8 twist and accuracy.

    I have one of these, Its a very nice shooting rifle but.....it likes heavy bullets. Mine stabilizes 63-69 grain bullets better than the lighter or heavier bullets. I have tried 55g(the lightest I have tried) and its all over the place, same with 77g(the heaviest I have tried) The charts here...

    Home gun vault

    This might be the wrong place to ask but..... I want to build a home gun vault in my house. I have an old office in the basement that does not get used anymore, just the right size and has two of its four walls as the foundation of the house. I would add a steel door with dead bolt and my safes...

    I need help finding the I.D. and value of these old revolvers

    My mom, who is an antique dealer, found these in the drawer of a dresser she bought. I ended up with them. The first one is what i think to be a Colt. Its a single action 5 shot and I think its a .32 caliber rimfire. It has "5727B" on the grip frame and "Pat May 23 1871" and "**********Armory...

    Savage 340 30-30, why am I so intrigued by this rifle?

    I always thought that a 30-30 bolt gun would be fun. Its a great caliber/cartridge for the mountains and brushy areas of SW VA. But to me the lever gun was always heavy at the end of the day. I often thought it would be nice to have a bolt gun in the same caliber. I have never held one let...

    Can you consider a car to be a form of a weapon?

    So I'm walking the pup the other night and a car is coming down the street towards me. I wiggle my LED flashlight at them to let them know I'm there. I have had issues before of cars "breezing" me and the dog and its left me a little skiddish. This car veers towards me and proceeds to take a...

    10.5" SBH not grouping? Need advice

    I have cross posted this. I'm looking for any answers. A little history; I picked up this SBH from a friend in financial trouble a little over a year ago. Its a low round count, less than 20 when I got it, and had a Burris 2x w/Leupold base. I gave a whopping $375 for it! It was a good deal...

    Sighted in the slug gun today

    I haven't touched this gun since last fall. I'm always impressed at how versatile the pump shotgun is. And accurate. Its a 870 20g Express 3" magnum with a rifled/cantilevered barrel, Nikon Omega 1.5-7x32 scope shooting 2 3/4" Fusion Sabot slugs at 100yds. If you can read my chicken scratch...

    Wall mount shotgun safe/rack

    Im setting up my HD shotgun, a Mav 88 that I rarely used it as anything more than a rack rider in my truck. I want a rack to mount on my bedroom wall that can be locked while I'm gone or the grandkids are around. Yet something I can grab quick in the night if God forbid ever needed. I see the...

    1100 20g with Cutts Compensator

    I love this old gun! Shot some clays yesterday and I just get better and better with it and the Cutts mod choke seems to be just right for most all situations. First round of upland trap yielded a 21 out of 25! That's not bad for me and I haven't touched a shotgun since April. Sporting clays...

    LC9s trigger

    First I will say that I love this little handgun! Its just the right size to carry open or concealed. Its very accurate For me, a person that grew up shooting revolvers, the trigger is too light. Can I make the trigger heavier on this gun?

    Maverick 88 20g tactical/HD

    I picked up a cheap 20g model 88 and would like to turn it into a HD gun. Heck I only have $75 in it! Not so much worried about extended mag tubes and rails etc, just a shorter barrel, pistol grip butt stock, shell carrier and maybe a light or pointer. Not all tricked out for show, i want this...

    Optics for the RAR, Leupold or Vortex

    I have three RAR's, 30-06, 243, 223, that need new optics. I started out with Hawke Optics on the three and I'm having issues keeping zero on all three. The 30-06 killed the Hawke in three rounds and I paid a lot of money for that scope, $250. Lesson learned. I prefer Vortex, I own a couple...
