I am starting to get interested in purchasing a semi-auto for recreation. I don't have any specific use for it. It will be mostly for plinking and just having fun with. I don't really know much about semi-autos and would like some advice on which brands to start looking at. I have shot a...

I have read a few places that the Weatherby Chamberings tend to be less accuracte than most due to the fact that they have a longer amount of freebore. Is this the experience of those who shoot Weatherby Cartridges?

I just purchased a Winchester Model 70 Classic Sporter LT I really like the gun and it is quite accurate. However I am dissappointed in the trigger. I have an older model 70 that has a really similar trigger that I was able to adjust pretty well. This new rifle however has a stiff trigger...

How do you make a win. trigger "crisp"? Can you get rid of the "mushiness". I believe the term I am looking for is creap but I could be wrong. I am reffering to how the trigger must be pulled a certain distance before releasing. I would like a trigger that breaks like glass and instead of...

I'm thinking about getting a Win Model 70 Featherweight for my wife and for myself. The gun will be a multi-role rifle. Practice shooting at water filled milk jugs and such out to 300 yards, possibly a predator and farm pest rifle at my step-father's farm, and a light deer gun for my wife. I...

I posted a thread the other day commenting on my win. model 70 (Ranger, push feed action) that won't shoot very well. I was looking at it last night and noticed that when the bolt is in the closed position it seems loose. The front of the bolt sloshes back and forth the bolt rotates almost...

I know that this is hard question to answer but on average what kind of groups can you expect from a new Model 70 classic sporter LT? What is reasonable to expect, 1" groups, 2", 3", 4" or 6". I have an old "Ranger" model that after lightening the trigger, floating the barrel and glass...

I am thinking about getting one here in the near future and was wondering what your experiences are with these rifles. I will probably purchase a Stainless Stalker in a 25-06. I really liked how they feel and it is light enough for my wife also. She wants to try shooting. They seemed like a...

Does anyone have one? If so do you like it and what is it like?

Well I did my taxes and my wonderful wife (She is the Best!) said I can have $900 of our return for a new rifle. I already have a Leopould Var X-II 3 X 9 by 40 that I will put on it although I will probably upgrade in the future. I want it chambered in a 25-06. By the way I want a rifle with a...

I wanted to hear from those of you who own or have owned a Weatherby Accumark. Have you been happy with them? Do you feel they are worth the money? Thanks! R&H

I submited a post a few weeks ago regarding Sako Rifles and you mentioned that I could by a remington rifle and invest the difference in price between the Sako and the Remington in it and have a very nice rifle. I am interested in what you would do to the Remington. I may go this route and am...

I have noticed that you don't here much about Sako rifles here. I was at sporting goods store the other day and looked at one in a stainless synthetic configuration. It was one NICE rifle. The action felt really tight and was very smooth. I liked the stock also, I really liked how it felt...

If you could go out and buy a new varmint rifle to be used for farm pests skunks, racoons, foxes, and coyotes what would you buy. Or if you allready have a rifle for this purpose descibe it. Ranges are from 10 to 350-400 yards. I was thinking of .233 or a .243 in a sporter style rifle, but I...

I was under the impression that stainless steel barrels last longer than conventional barrels. I was wondering if this is true and if so roughly how much longer? I have also heard that conventional barrel are also harder and therefore harder to dammage during cleaning and such, and that the...

I recently talked to a gentleman who had just got a new rifle. It was a 30-338 that had been custom made. It was a very nice rifle. However he told me that it could generate about 4 times the energy that my 30-O6 could. Now I have never seen the balistics info on the 30-338 but 4 times my 06...

I was wondering if someone could tell me a little about the Brownings that had a Weatherby style 9 lug bolt. I don't know exactly when they were made. I just shot one today and really liked it. Does anyone know about how much they are worth or how long they were made or how many where made...

If you where going to by a new rifle and wanted something nice (good trigger, nice stock, ect.) but spend less than $700 or $800. Would you: A. Buy an expensive rifle like a Sako or a Weatherby or a Browning. or B. Buy a cheaper rifle like a Remington, Ruger, or Winchester. And then have...

I was just wondering if anyone here knew about what the Balistic Coefficient of a .54 round ball was in the velocity range of 2000 to 500 ft/s.

I heard that one of the reasons the military choose the .223 Rem is that it was more likely to be non-lethal than a larger cartrige and incapacitate but only wound the enemy. The reason for this was that it would then cost the other side more in medical resources surgeons, medicine, ect. I was...
