I've been thinking of replacing a red dot with some sort of prism scope that is light weight but has some magnification. What are some options that have worked for you?

I'm looking for a bolt gun in 7.62x39 that is suppressor ready. The Howa mini looks nice but the threads are 1/2x28 which seem small for a 30 caliber. I know I can get an adapter to go from 1/2x28 to 5/8x24 and then mount a muzzle brake that my suppressor uses as a base but could that cause...

Had a squib today. This is the second time for me but the first time that the bullet went far enough into the barrel for the cylinder to turn. The first time was years ago and was a reload. Today's squib was factory ammo. You can see the base of the bullet lodged in the barrel:

I'm thinking about getting a night vision or thermal binocular or monocular for hunting and use in the yard. I have a thermal imaging scope that I like but I don't want to be waving around a rifle searching for game at night or just checking out the back yard at my suburban home. It would be a...

What is a good, slim, OWB holster for a G26? This will be for concealment and should hug my body.

PSA has several uppers in 6.5 Grendel that are less than $400 and I have been considering trying one. If I get one, it's primary use will be to plink steel targets less than 400 yards away and to hunt deer up to 200 yards away. Anyone have any experience with these uppers? Do they work...

Recently, I was guided to these five tests of pistol standards (link) by reading Ellifritz's blog and thought I would use them to test my skills and see where I needed more work. I will let you read the five tests at the link but the last one was a difficult one for me with my five shot J frame...

What attributes do you most value in a concealed carry firearm and how do you weigh them? Desirable attributes could include reliability, shootability, cost, capacity, power, ease of carry, ease of presentation, ease of use and/or anything else that you value. What is important to you? Edit...

I had an interesting scope failure this evening after getting my deer rifle out of the safe in preparation for tomorrow. The last time I used the rifle, I was shooting a steel target at 400 yards and had the magnification turned up. I like to hunt with the magnification at the lowest setting...

Here is a link to the AG's statement banning bump stocks: link I'm not sure that the regulation will hold up under challenge as federal code defines machine guns as firearms designed to fire (or readily restored) more than one shot by a single function of the trigger. What are your thoughts?

What is your favorite rain hat for cool weather and what is a good rain hat for warmer weather? How about a good hat for all around use?

Which do you prefer as a range/home defense handgun and why?

I think bump stocks are ridiculous gimmicks but this law also seems like a ridiculous gimmick: link COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina's capital city has approved a ban on the use of the "bump stock" devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to mimic fully automatic guns. The measure was...

So, I have this Rock River Elite Operator that I'm not thrilled with. There isn't anything wrong with the gun, it's just not set up how I'd like it to be. It's heavier than it needs to be for the length and I'd rather have a flash hider than a muzzle brake. It's a bit over gassed but it...

I've got a Remington 700 sps stainless in 308 that I use for casual target shooting and hunting but I'm not a fan of the stock which seems a bit flimsy. Are there any aftermarket stocks that you would recommend that would be appropriate for a hunting/target 700?

I recently aquired a used Ruger LC9s and when I shoot it with my strong hand, I get a pronounced pinch or bite on the lower part of my trigger finger. It doesn't seem to be a problem shooting with my left (weak) hand. I'm a grease monkey with largish hands and fat fingers but my right index...

Brass Fetcher did a test of several types of buckshot. The criteria they used for effectiveness was the number of hits on a paper target and whether the shot could penetrate 12" of gel. It seems that some buckshot loads can penetrate 12" of gel reliably at quite long distances. As shooters...

Are there any advantages to using the 300 blk for hunting deer over the 5.56?

I've been thinking about changing the front sight post on my AR to improve visibility with my aging eyes at all times and especially during low light hunting. This front post would be used with a rear aperture as a backup to an older Trijicon 1.5x24 Acog that I'm currently sending off for...

A few months ago, I picked up a three screw (old model) Ruger Single Six from a pawn local pawn shop. It was a really good deal but only came with a .22 Mag cylinder. I'd like to be able to shoot .22lr out of it but I don't want to send it off to Ruger where the safety upgrade will be...
