    Delta Elite for revolver guy

    You see, there's this blued delta elite I've been eyeballing for over a year. Perfect condition. 475 asking price. Been told it's a great deal. Problem: I'm a revolver guy, and I reload. The thought of throwing 10mm brass all over creation sort of pains me, as I imaging procuring new or...

    Cold Rust Blue ... Bore protection

    The limited reading I've done about this has got me intrigued, and I'm kicking around the idea of doing this to my rem 700 when I rebarrel. However, after dropping all of that dough on a smooth barrel, how does one keep it from rusting/pitting while doing the rust blue thing? I'm thinking oil...

    New Savage 110...crown

    Good Folks: I picked up one of those cheap Savage 110 / Bushnell crap scope combos at a show this weekend for 175 bucks. Both in great shape; rifle has less than a box through it. Scope goes on one of my 22s. One hitch that I didn't catch at buy-time: The crown has what appears to be a...

    S&W 686

    I'm looking hard at two of these for my dad and I. They are (I assume) police trade-in and we'd have to get them through an FFL holder. 4" barrel, full underlug. They look sweet, and are allegedly in good shape. Thoughts on the 686? Also, how much should one expect to pay the local FFL...

    Opinions on Delta Elite

    I'm not exactly auto-friendly, but i do eventually want a 1911 type. There's a Delta Elite at a local pawnshop and they're asking 475. The finish is excellent and it doesn't seem to have seen much use (minor holster wear). What's the story on these? Is a 10mm too much for a 1911 platform...

    Dueling rockchuckers

    Picked up another rockchucker at a show this weekend. 50 bucks, and it came with the RCBS powder measure. Now I can dedicate the old, somewhat misaligned one to Piggyback II duty and use the solid new old one for rifle stuff. Not to mention that the new measure mounts on the piggyback much...

    Win. 70 Front Sight

    I just picked up a mid-80s model 70 in 30-06. It had 11 rounds through it before I got it. Excellent condition. One thing, though. It has a monstrous front sight on it. Absolutely huge. Like, the base is 3-4 inches long and the hood sticks out well over an inch from the bore centerline...

    First Auto: Glock 21?

    I'm not sure I want one, but I think it would be wise to procure an automatic handgun in a substantial caliber (given the state of the union and my desire to be able to effectively protect myself). I like the idea of the 10mm, but I think I could get myself into shooting and reloading for a 9mm...

    Quiet .22s

    Was wondering how much quieter subsonic 22s would be than normal. I'd like something quiet to push through Dad's Single Six for shooting grouse while deer hunting. Thanks JV

    Rebarrel

    Question for you folks: I went prairie dogging last week with my .280 (Rem. 700 BDL, yeah, too much gun, I know). Anyway, my uncle brought out his Chrony and I shot over it a few times. I was getting 2700 fps out of a 110 grain speer tnt moly. This is nearly 600 fps slower than my hodgdon...
