What is the difference between the Remington model 7 and model 700 short action rifle? I don't mean the cosmetics like different stock and slim barrel but the action and bolt. Are they in fact same?

Couple months back I sold most of my 20 and 30 round GI mags when prices were crazy. Now I want to replace those mags with some new 30 round mags. I asked couple friends and checked around town and it seems the P mag is the new standard for AR mag. I noticed that there are more than one kind...

Okay, I'm going on a duck hunting road trip this winter with some old friends. We used to hunt ducks together a lot 25+ years ago. We used to go on these duck hunt road trips where we would spend days on the road going from location to location to hunt duck and maybe cover a dozen different...

This morning I sat up in the stand for 3 hours in the rain. When I got back to my truck I unloaded my rifle and noticed water in the action. I checked the bore and there was water in the bore. Not a lot but dozens of small tiny droplets which I think entered from muzzle during rain. How...
