What type/size/brand of scope do you recommend for rimfire rifle metallic silhouette shooting (40 to 100 meters)? I'm not sure whether to go fixed or variable. There are some nice sounding airgun/rimfire scopes on the market. I expect to use the new Ruger 10/22-TNZ as the platform. This is my...

Someone once told me that men (and enlightened women) were born with either a Colt gene or a S&W gene. Nothing you could do about it. Fate and genetics. Now, I've always considered myself a Colt man, but recently I'm feeling a bit schitzophrenic. I think I may be secretly craving an old S&W K-22...

I was thinking of picking up the Oly 9mm upper (for use with a Bushmaster XM15 lower). Does anyone have any experience with this unit? Quality of workmanship, accuracy, reliability, magazines? TIA.

I've decided to join my brother on his annual deer hunting excursion to Wisconsin. I'm not a hunter, but I do enjoy plinking and bullseye shooting with various .22s (I enjoy it, I didn't say I was any good) and recently started high power rifle shooting with an AR-15. I don't own a "hunting"...

I've been considering adding a Model 41 to my collection (a shooter, of course) and I was wondering if some of these pistols are "better" than others. Was there a period when the quality suffered for some reason and the guns are not as accurate as others made during a different period? For...

I've been considering picking up a snub-nose revolver for possible CCW as well as to add to my collection (don't own a short barrel revolver). I'm partial to Colt and I've been looking at the Detective Special. Anybody care to share a recommendation/opinion/experiences? TIA.

Folks, I need some help in identifying an H&R Model 65 .22LR semi-auto rifle that I recently picked up. I am confused as to whether this model has a military connection. I have solicited responses on several of the firearms discussion forums, but I don't believe I've gotten a conclusive answer...

I have a week of leisure before starting a new job and I thought I'd visit some of the better gun shops in Northern California. How about some recommendations for the area within about 150 mile radius of San Jose. My specific interests are .22LR rifles and handguns, US military arms, Colt...

I've seen a few references recently to .22 rimfire rifles with a "ring" in the bore? What is it and what are the consequences? TIA.

Has anyone seen or shot one of these new rifles from T/C? I haven't been able to find any in Northern California. Any inputs or experiences appreciated. TIA.

I recently purchased my first 1911 pistol, a Colt National Match. I'm having a heck of a time replacing the slide stop into the slide after field stripping. I'm concerned about scratching the frame or slide. Please tell me, what's the trick to doing this correctly? I've seen others pop these...

I came across the first H&R Model 65 I've ever seen, at a gun show today. It was marked "Model 65 Reising" on the .22LR barrel. The Blue Book describes it as the "Model 65 Military", apparently made from 1944-46 for the US Marines. The rifle is in very good condition and included 5 original H&R...

I'm looking at a Rem. Model 12, 24" octagon barrel, 22S/L/LR. This rifle has an upgraded, checkered pistol grip stock with a Rem. grip cap. Anybody know more about this model? Value for a 95-98% example? This one is 1922 vintage. TIA.

I'm looking at a 1922 vintage Rem Model 12, 24" octagon barrel, 22S/L/LR. However, this rifle has an upgraded checkered pistol grip stock with Rem. grip cap. Anybody know more about this model? How about value for a 95-98% example? TIA.

I'm looking at one, in near new condition. This is the older model built in the 1960s, Colt's first post-war NM models I believe. Are these quality guns for shooting? This would be an informal target gun, maybe practical shooting one day. I'm also interested in the collectible value of the Colt...

This looks like a fun way to celebrate Fathers Day, June 18th. Bring the kids to the shooting range! 50 Million Round March

Can anyone recommend a source for parts, magazines for older (series 104, 1960s) High Standard Trophy (slant grips)? Thanks.

I'm looking for information and opinions about the subject .22LR semi-auto. I know of one for sale, Belgian-made in 1969, with Redfield scope and factory mount. I'm interested in history, inherent accuracy and reliability for plinking, varminting and informal competition. Thanks.
