    Savage B Mag?

    So I read that the new Savage .17 WSM rifle would be available last month. I still don't see any in the stores or online. What gives? Has anyone heard any news about it?

    460 XVR Performance Center Scope Ring Height

    A few years ago I acquired a limited edition 460 XVR PC pistol with a integrated Weaver style rail. I'm finally getting around to purchasing a scope. I've read that Warne Maxima/Magnum rings are a great choice. My question is, what ring height should I order? Thanks!

    UN Treaty

    So what do y'all think about the UN treaty that's being worked on this month. According to a couple of news sites, it's proposed that American gun owner records be made available to foreign governments....

    Arminius ARM .357

    My friend has gotten what he thinks is a deal on a used Arminius ARM .357 single action revolver. It is missing the cylinder latch and spring. I searched all my usual sites for parts and came up with nothing for this model. I have a feeling his "deal" might be a loss. Does anyone know if...

    .460 XVR, A deal I can't pass up

    A relative has decided to part with his S&W .460XVR. He bought it new and never did fire it. He has offered to sell it to me for $500:eek: Of course I took him up on the offer. I've purchased other guns from him and always looked forward to a large cache of ammo for each one that he would...

    Hornady Lock-n-load AP question

    I just purchased a new Hornady Lock-n-load AP which I decided to take for a test run last night. I'm starting out with .40 S&W. I reloaded about 25 rounds last night with relatively few issues. I stopped for a snack break and then started up again about 15 minutes later (without changing a...

    Winchester Model 275

    I posted on here awhile back about this rifle my dad bought back in the sixties. I finally got time to go pick it up at his place. It was a bit rusty and covered in sawdust but today I took it apart and cleaned it up. The trigger group and action were still pretty clean, just the surface...

    Winchester Model 275

    My Dad just gave me a model 275 that he bought new way back when... It's been in his garage for a few years and has a litttle rust. I can't get the slide to open all the way but from what I see it doesn't look to be too rusty. i've got a feeling it's plugged up with sawdust. Anyway, I've...

    Redfield Scopes

    Has anyone here tried the newly resurrected Redfield scopes yet? Looks like a good scope for the money. Great warranty, just like Leupold and owned by them now. Somewhere in a forum a guy was claiming they were assembled in the US but the parts come from Asia. I've since read that they are...

    An article from Imnaha

    My brother wrote this story recently. He's struggled over the years with some mental issues but seems to be getting better. Man he can write, and since he mentions shooting a couple of times (an avid hunter) I'll take a chance sharing it here...

    What case to buy for AR15 with 24" barrel?

    As I mentioned previously I'm in the process of buying a unfired Bushmaster Stainless Varmint Special. I see they are now offered with a hard case but when this one was purchased several years ago from a gunshop it didn't come with a case (maybe the gun shop kept it? :eek:). Can anyone point...

    Winchester Model 275 .22 WMR

    Dad bought this rifle back in the 60's for squirrel hunting in South Carolina. He says it never did feed well. At some point he wrapped duct tape around the bolt :eek: to try to get it to line up with the chamber. He gave up on it and never shot it again. He says it was even more upsetting...

    Bushmaster Stainless Varmint Special .223

    I've run across an opportunity to pick up one of these. The rifle is new and unfired. The price is so low I'll keep it to myself. Any opinions on this model? This is my first A/R.....

    .270 Weatherby

    I've stumbled across a deal on a Mark V Ultra Lightweight in .270 WBY mag... This will be my first belted cartridge experience at the reloading bench. Any tips? What dies do you prefer? Powder? Bullets? This will be my elk rifle but could see some use for deer hunting as well. That old...

    Weatherby Mark V Ultra LightWeight

    I've run into what I feel is quite a deal on one of these rifles. I was looking at the Vanguard in 300 win mag for an elk rifle. I was looking to spend $700 for rifle and scope. Someone I know bought a Mark V Ultra Lightweight (.270 Wby Mag) about three years ago. He scoped it with a VXIII...

    Malfunctioning AR case

    Three news stories got me amped up yesterday. First there is the guy back east that let his friend borrow his AR for a range day. After functioning normally all day it proceeded to fire several rounds in a row in short bursts. The owner of the rifle has already served 10 months in a...

    Lee Pro-1000 review

    I've now completed 3 sessions in the garage with my new press. I bought the .40 S&W kit ($138 Midway USA), a case collator, and a spare turret. The spare turret was for the .40/10MM dies I already had. Now I can set them for 10MM (once I get a new gun). That collator is a must by the way...

    .40 S&W, Being Cautious

    I'm new to this caliber and I'm reloading 155 grain hollow points and 180 grain FMJ's. I know the .40 can be a problem as far as excessive pressure goes so......... I'm using HS-6 powder mainly because that's all I could get due to the shortages here. Nothing wrong with it but I really...

    Going Progressive

    I currently use a single stage press. Very happy with the quality ammo I produce. My recent addition of a semi auto handgun makes me quite aware that my reloading addiction needs to progress to keep up with the demands of my shooting addiction. I'm looking at the Hornady LnL and the Dillon...

    10MM options

    I'm window shopping (read dreaming) for the next toy. I'm set on a 10mm autoloader, especially since I'm set up to reload it already. I like the EAA Witness Match as an option but I keep reading snippets about durability issues. I've also read that customer support can be sketchy. I have...
