So there ya go. I'm sure the 9 year old was a clear threat (sarcasam). :rolleyes: See what happens when an idiot pull his gun and makes a big mistake? Knowing when not to pull out a gun is an important, although often neglected, part of good tactics and training.

I have a Remington 700 .308 hunting rifle. My shots are limited to 200 yards or less. I've always thought that you should automatically use low rings for a scope to keep that scope as close to the barrel as possible, because the lower the scope is to the bore, the more accurate your shots will...

I was recently invited to go hunting on Saturday. It is a small plot of farmland. I've never been there before; the guy who invited me got a buck there last Saturday, and he saw at least 20 deer that day. The property borders a tree farm, and the deer are crossing through the area to get to...

I went to the store last weekend and purchased two boxes of .45 ACP ammo for the Kimber (8 round mag): 1. Winchester Supreme 230 grain SXT ammo; and 2. Federal Premium 230 grain Hydra-Shok ammo. Assuming that both are absolutely reliable in my gun, and that both are equally accurate from my...

Looking at the latest American Rifleman magazine, which has a report on the DPMS Sportical Carbine, which kind of looks like a groovy little M-forgery style gun. The article states that the Sportical doesn't have the following features that you'd typically find on an AR-15 type gun: 1. No...

O.K., so I've got a Remmie .308 deer gun. But no "back up gun". I've never needed one. Here's the rub: I can buy a Remmie SPS in .30-06 or .270, new, for $419 plus tax. Remmington will give me a rebate of $40.00. So I'll end up paying about $410 or so (after tax and rebate) for a new SPS...

Have any of you ever seen a Remington BDL, blued, with synthetic stock, and fluted barrel? There's nothing about that particular BDL in Remington's website, and a GOOGLE search didn't tell me anything about it. Is this a special run of BDL's? Anything special about this particular BDL...

Just in case there's any question about Obama's desire to prohibit law-abiding citizens from owning so-called assault weapons, check out Obama's plans to ban guns if he's elected President: For those of you who own evil black rifles, do you own them for the sole purpose of killing people, as...

I was offered the opportunity to hunt deer on private land about 45 minutes North of Omaha. It didn't take much arm twisting for me to accept the offer. It is on a farm, but I don't know large it is, just that it's a good sized farm. I even managed to buy an either-sex deer permit for the...

I rented a Beretta 92F last week, and I was pretty impressed with it. A buddy especially did well with it, and he may buy one. However, the model we always see in the shops is the FS, not the F. What are the specific differences between the 92F and the 92FS models? The 92F was marked as made...

The wabbits have invaded. There are swarms of 'em in my backyard. Durned varmits! I've got a cheapie pellet gun, which is all I can afford right now. I only get about 750 FPS out of it, but my range is only 15 yards. My problem is that although I'm getting good hits (WHUNK!), I'm getting...

If anyone is wondering about the effectiveness of the NRA to defeat gun control legislation, the following provides a key example of how the NRA protects your right keep and bear arms: From the Lincoln Journal Star: Senator Ashford was very specific about what he wanted to ban: The NRA took...

I went to an indoor range last weekend, and here are some random observations for your reading pleasure: I bought a new Hogue wrap-around grip for the Kimber. It works, and it works well. A new grip that fits makes a world of difference! Hogue makes good grips. I bought the new grips from...

Have any of you ever used a gun that had ghost-style sights on it? It would seem to be a very fast sighting method, especially for short-range work. Why aren't ghost-style sights used on handguns?

From this article about creating embryos with DNA from 3 people: Naturally, this raises moral and political questions about how far we should go when it comes to creating people. How far should we go? Is any "gene swapping" acceptable? Limited gene swapping? Full-on gene swapping? I'm not...

I put new Hogue wrap-around grips on the Kimber last night. They were easy to install on my gun. They were on sale from MidwayUSA for 14 dollars and change. The fit on the frame is very good, with no visible gaps. They don't look nearly as nice as the hardwood grips that were on the gun, but...

During the last Republican debate, Huckabee stated that he would stimulate the economy by spending on infrastructure. That was interesting. It was an alternative to simply sending out rebate (?) checks to everyone. Setting aside the issue of whether the government should be spending or...

I just ordered Hogue wrap-around grips for the Kimber. I'd like to apply some kind of rust-preventative underneath the grips to prevent rusting. What should I use? Rig? Wax? How long will it last? Thanks in advance for your help!

Wandering in my local gunstore, I found a table of ammo on sale. They had Federal Premium Vital Shok ammo in .308 Winchester, loaded with Barnes 165 grain triple shok X bullet. Marked down from $37 to $19. So I bought a box. Two other brands of 165/168 grain rounds have shot very well...
