The man that owns our lease is having a problem with hogs this year. He sub-leases the land to another farmer. This year hogs ruined a wheat crop and about half of a corn crop. The farmers have been setting pins and baiting (which is legal here in SC.). We were going to hunt them at night over...

This is what I have.

I have tried to do a few internet searches on this, but my only real internet connection is at work. I can catch a couple of breaks, but not enough time to read all the information attempting to answer my question. I have decided to take the lazy approach and ask for help here. My situation: I...

What do those of you who shoot this caliber use for a hunting bullet, and if different, a practice bullet? Do you load them differently?

I'm reading The ABC's of Reloading. I am in the section on bullet casting. The book covers lubricating the bullets. I do not plan to cast my own bullets, just buy them. Will I need to lubricate these bullets or do the makers do that when they size them?

I purchased my first high powered rifle this year. After a couple boxes of ammunition at over thirty dollars a box. I am realizing shooting this beast is getting expensive. So I'm thinking about getting into reloading. I'm shooting a Remington 770 chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum. (I...

I was browsing through my local pawn shop and happened across a Winchester Model 70 30-06 with scope for $399.00. I did a brief search on Gun Broker and the prices are on average well above that mark for a rifle alone. The gun was used but clean, with a bright bore and smooth action...

Its finally spring time.:D I have a ritual I go through every year at this time. I take out and clean all my outdoor equipment. Everything from my back packs, camping gear, fishing reels and rods, to my guns. Yes I get my two guns out and go over them with a cloth, and check them out, even if I...

Pics of mine.

Has anyone here used Auction Arms? I have seen some items on there I would like to bid on, but would like to have some feedback before I try to do anything online.

I was watching something the other day on the History Channel about extreme marksmanship. They had a section about the Finnish and Soviet snipers with their huge kill count (I imagine due mostly to the winter and a target rich environment.). So how good is a Mosin, fresh out of the cosmoline? I...

I got to thinking about that over the weekend. Would there be any legal ramifications for doing such if the need ever arose to use it? I realize for most people it would not be practical, especially those who live in areas where over penetration may be of concern. But for the sake of the...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,587938,00.html I love this picture! What kind of gun is it though? Just wanted to add this. I'm not interested in a discussion about the article. I believe we have two or three threads on the topic already. I just am curious about the pistol. Is that a 1911...

The title says it all. What are the charastics that make a pistol a 1911? Is it that its a single action hammer fired semi-automatic? The use of a thumb saftey as well as a grip safety? The dimensions, or just the shape? Does it have to have all of those features? Are they all called 1911 in...

I saw this and thought it was funny. Then I really got to looking. Are there really that many accessories for a M4?

I have a soon to be step daughter. She is 9 years old, and terrified of guns. I want to teach her the proper respect for guns. I want her to understand how important they are, and eventually have her shoot some herself. I'm not trying to force her into it. I'm not trying to push her into...

This question shows how little I know about handguns. I just got my copy of Annual Glock. So I'm sitting here looking at pics of the new G22 RTF2. There is a sliding switch just above the trigger. Now, is the mag release button on the grip even with the bottom of the trigger guard, and the...

I guy I work with and I were talking guns today. He tells me that he has a .25-06 breech loader he will sell for $200.00. I don't know the make, he is going to bring it in for me to look at tomorrow. What do I need to know when looking at this gun? I know I need to check the condition of the...

I want to try to buy a rifle this year before hunting season. I'm not looking for anything top shelf, just a good solid performer. I'm not concerned with it being pretty, as I have never heard of a deer or hog dying due to a rifles' stunning looks. I would like a bolt action .308. My max range...
