I know this is a simple question but... I got a new HOWA 1500 in .308 win. I don't know how to correctly go about the scope base, ring and scope mounting procedure. There are tricks to it and i want to do it right the 1st time. Whats the steps to take? Locktite or none? Best of all, is...

I have a new howa 1500 that I've not yet been able to scope. I've heard this rifle was formerly offered as the Weatherby Vanguard but I wondered what you folks could tell me about it. Why, even if they did not want to offer it anymore, would Weatherby let Howa make it off their patent? Any...

9mm bullet seated in a .38 case? My sierra manual mentioned a cowboy action configuration which uses a 124gr 9mm (auto) LRN bullet seated in a .38 spcl case. Is that crazy or can the be done? I did not think you could mix auto bullets and revolver ones since they have slight differences. What...

bullet components: any of you have a bead on whose cheapest for a west coast (CA) person to order from? Are they on the net? I reload 9mm, .45ACP, .30 rifles and .38/.357 ---> I mostly want cheap copper jacketed stuff. any ideas? anyone heard of a shooting supply place called...

newbie asking: I have a browning abolt medallion in .30-06 for which I want to work up a variety of experimental loads. I ultimately want to shoot a grandslam, cor-loct and/or A-frame bullet in the 165 or 180 gr. range (depending on accuracy and experimentation of each). For use on deer and...

I have seen some really good gun quotes in many TFL member's signature lines. I collect some of the best of them. The TFL management liked the idea of putting a compiled list of 2nd amendment quotes together to be posted on this website as a resource and for reading fun too. Therefore...

i have a new rifle and am wondering what the difference is between a two piece and a one piece scope mount base. the only rifle i got before this was used and had a 1 pece mount already so i did not bother changing it. now i want to know; what is the advantage from one to the other? thanks.

I have an 870 Express with 28" Vent rib bbl. now but I want one suitable for deer and perhaps home defense. I want an additional bbl. with 'deer rifle sights' AND removable screw in chokes. NO CYLINDER BORE ONLY BBLS! I ask you folks; please reccomend where i can get one of these for the...

I have a few hi power rifles but no .308 win. I know, its unfair and I intend to remedy this oversite. I was thinking I want access to more range time and cheap 7.62x51 ammo without the time obligation of reloading [which I do and love but dont always have time for]. This rifle must have a...

I want to load up some practice rounds for my .30-06 guns. Im a student and price is important to me. Sierra is nice but pulled surplus is fine for me. I want 147gr., 150gr. or similar FMJ or FMJBT bullets to load but midway usa offers them in packs of 1000 for $89. I dont need that many and...

I have some hunting ammo I got when my Dad died last June and some other I have had which I touched, fondled and generally got prints all over. Now the brass is tarnished and they look cruddy and I want to clean them up shiny like new. Can any of you advise on how I should clean these? Oil...

Hello all. Happy New Year. Question: I see gobbs of 8mm mauser ammo, .308 Win. and of course 7.62x39 ammo too for sale as surplus in abundance and cheap. Why then is venerable .30-06 Springfield missing from the surplus scene? Maybe I am missing some hot site or ammo source for cheap...

wanted to load... howdy folks, i just started loading for the .30-06 [i own an a-bolt medallion] i am looking for load data that will lay a trajectory that aproximates that of the Nosler BT 150gr. which will be my deer medicine. I want to shoot more so I am in good form for The Moment but of...

hi all, where can i get replacement barrels for this pistol? it has a push-in barrel release that allows the bbl. to just slide right off. I think I would like to find one with better rifleing as the present one is a bit worn. [odd, it looks smooth bore but it still shoots well... hmm.] i...

Howdy 1911 fans! - I have one of these that I got about a year ago as my 1st .45cal 1911. I used to shoot my Dad's Colt Series 90 DBL Eagle but did not ever like it as much as the vernerable 1911 version. My Charles Daley is blued and has some hogue grips which really improved its feel and my...
