    Thompson Center predator venture

    My son looked at one of these this morning and really likes it. I looked at it and it felt really light. So I did a quick search and found some old threads but that was in 2010. T/c says it's a 6 3/4 # rifle but it felt alot lighter than that to me. It has the 5r rifling and a pretty stiff stock...

    Which decade did remington build the best 700's?

    I know some of you are laughing already at this silly question but seriously it gets better. I went to the lgs this morning and they were bringing some guns out of hock. I guess that's correct terminology? Anyway one of them was a older remington 700 adl with the walnut stock and checkered...

    What is your favorite 38 super?

    The 38 super seems to be fading more and more as I get older. I think mostly due to price of factory ammo and less and less options from major manufacturers. Anyway between my wife and I we have several. We love them and several of our friends that have shot ours like them also. I've been in...

    Prefered elk cartridge for a 300 yard shot.

    My father in law has been unhappy with his trusty 30-06 the last couple years in Colorado hunting elk. He goes to the same spot everytime and the elk come into the very small clearing at 275 to 300 yards from his position. I've tried to help him find a better position but that isn't possible...

    I can only buy a rifle I need it!

    Stopped by the lgs today with wife and kids to pick up new scope and some ammo. While looking at a couple of rifles my wife tells me I can only buy a new one if we need it.

    Zenith firearms quality

    A buddy of mine has one ordered but he said it only has a 5 year warranty. I did a quick Google search and it's a Turkish made gun with a 5 year warranty. Does anybody here have any experience with them. I'm not sure which model he has ordered but quality should be the same throughout the line up.

    A man was refused the sale of a firearm after saying it was a gift for his wife.

    I've witnessed quite a few woman buying guns for their husbands. But today a man was refused after he said it was a surprise gift for his wife. I happen to know the couple but that doesn't make a difference. I understand the shop has the right to refuse for any reason they feel necessary but I'm...

    Ruger american predator rifle in 260

    I picked one of these up today from the lgs. They said it was a special run for a certain distributor and the only way they got it was to sign up for a special program to buy so many guns from that distributor in a certain time frame. I looked at rugers website, even under distributor exclusives...
