Well I finally got my Buffalo Bore Heavy .45 LC, 325gr at 1325 fps, ammo yesterday! What a hoot! This stuff is great! And I thought the Hornady 300 gr 44 Magnum was fun! The max for my indoor range is 44 magnum so when I let 6 of these go, the staff came back to check to make sure I was...

I was in Wal-Mart (not to buy, just to help decide if I want to order from my gunshop) looking at an 870 Express Super Magnum. The salesman tells me fingerprints will cause an 870 to rust :rolleyes:. I've already read stories about the incredible durability of the 870, so I totally ignored this...

I took my 870 to the rifle range Saturday and shot slugs at the 100yd line. I aimed at the very top of the frame expecting several inches of drop. Much to my surprise, I blew a hole right through the top of the frame! I thought slugs weren't supposed to be accurate at 100 yards. My 870 Express...

My brother and I finally got his girlfriend (Jill) to go to the range with us Saturday. She had never touched a gun before (actually I disassembled my Glock once to show her how a gun functions and she held the frame, trembling). We started her on a youth sized Marlin single shot .22 rifle...

And I love it :)! Thanks to all who posted questions about these wonderful guns and to all who recommended it. I had a ton of good references to help me make my decision. Ruger sure makes a strong, well finished gun. This gun shoots beautifully! Its the 5.5" stainless. It's definitely my best...

Well, I just picked up our (my wife and I) new AL391. It is the 12 gauge field version with a 26" barrel. I ordered it that way so my wife will be more comfortable with it. Other than the grease that is slathered all over the barrel, it looks great. I've got quite a cleaning job tonight. The...

This is my first post in the shotgun forum. I have recently shot skeet with borrowed shotguns. I had such a blast, I am ready to seriously take up shotguns. It is so cool to be able to spend an entire weekend at the range. I have plenty to do between shotguns, pistols, and rifles :). I'm...

Last week my wife was talking to some friends of ours (I was not around). My wife used to baby sit our friends' 1 year old son. Before she started watching the baby, this couple asked us if we had baby-proofed our house. Since we have a little girl, we had already done so, so she answered that...

I need some advice on how to teach my little 8 year old brother in law about firearms and some critiquing about my current approach. This is the situation. My wife's mother, brother (Marc), and sister are living with us until the mother can get back on her feet and support her family (recently...

I took my new Steyr SBS Prohunter 30-06 to the range yesterday for the 1st time :). This rifle shot perfectly. The action was much smoother than my SIG SHR970. After zeroing the scope, I shot a 3/4" group at 100 yards. I'm sure I'll do better next week when my shoulder is fresh. I joined the...

Since my wife needed a rifle to shoot when I go to the range with my new Steyr Pro-Hunter 30-06 :), we decided to get her ;) a Bushmaster AR-15. After seeing other posts about break-in requirements for the FAL, I was wondering what I need to do to get our new AR-15 started off on the path to a...

For me, I was very pleased with my Glock 26 :):). I had a Sig 229 I used for CCW, carried in a fanny pack. After many questions about why I had a 'purse' and if I was in law enforcement, I decided I needed to be more discreet. So I grudgingly picked the G26 over small revolvers, Kahr, and...

I just saw an SBS Prohunter in 30-06. They offered to mark it down to $600 from $650. Does this sound like a good price? I really liked it alot. It felt better than the SIG SHR970, and I liked the safety system. Can anyone offer feedback on this rifle?

What would be a good power scope for target shooting at 200 yards (and maybe farther) that would still be effective for close range hunting? My priority would be for longer range. For hunting, I would plan on careful shot placement so follow up shots hopefully wouldn't be necessary. I was...

This is my 1st post, so I thought I'd describe myself a little. I've owned several firearms for the last few years and I've held a FL concealed weapon and firearm license for a couple years now. I have more experience with handguns than rifles, but I have some experience with a SIG SHR970 with...
