Let me try. The ultimate deer rifle is a 7mm Ultra Mag semi-auto with a 28" bull barrel and topped with a 2x26 power Nightforce scope that shoots one hole groups at 400 yards. It is 30" long, weighs under 7lb and has the recoil and muzzle blast of a 22LR. It has a switch barrel setup that can...

That might be because Savage has put different triggers in them. Some people get the old style three screw trigger which can be adjusted into a very nice hunting weight. Mine did not get the good trigger, it's pull was 4 3/4 lb and gritty. I made a spring out of .039 music wire and got it...

Tighter shots.

The same week that I posted my review I decided to fluff the feedramp thinking that the matte finish was causing some of the FTF. I saw a copper deposit and was able to get under a corner of it and VERY gently pry it up. It was deposited in a hole all the way though the ramp, I could see the...

The current Feds don't like guns or business, I'll bet that they really hate gun businesses. Interesting but dirty sounding bluff card. I did mail it USPS Priority BTW, beware the mail cops. If I was still married I'd sic the old lady on em. She loved this kind of stuff. Me, I'm all argued out.

I bought a new pistol with a limited lifetime warranty stating that it's free from defects in material and workmanship. I had it only a week and shot 80 rd through it. I saw that it had a hole in the feed ramp all the way through to the recoil spring. Looks like they either drilled the recoil...

I just picked up a MPA380B, it's a well made Seecamp 380 clone for $265 from Buds Guns. https://www.masterpiecearms.com/proddetail.php?prod=MPA380B&cat=38 I reviewed it yesterday here. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=533605 I have many of the pistols in mentioned in...

It came with the finger extension/floorplate installed so I assume that it's upgraded. I didn't get any trigger slap which was one of the issues. The mag catch spring was strengthened for the mag extension but I didn't find it difficult to operate other than odd placement. Except for the...

Got my MPA380B from Buds Guns for $265. Great service, they sent me 11 emails detailing every step of the order and shipping process and tracking number. Got it 10 days after ordering. Fit and finish are excellent. I didn't think that I would like the mag release but it's easy to use. The D/A...

Whoa, Buffalo Bore loads the Barnes 80 gr at 1275 fps (longer barrel). http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=29

Critical Defense works like a SP, the rubber inside of the HP makes sure that it doesn't clog no matter what. It only expands to .45 - .5 and penetrates well. It won't make a big pretty mushroom like the PDX1 but due to the limits of a short barrel 380 it might make the best four season choice.

Word is CorBon now uses a different all copper bullet in their 380 DPX load and it doesn't open up like the Barnes bullet. Double Tap still loads the Barnes Tac-XP bullet.

When I was a young skinny teen a fella let me shoot his scoped 7mm at about 75 yards. I'd never shot a magnum and I expected to kicked hard. Nope, didn't faze me a bit and I hit just where I was aiming. Get it. If you reload you can shoot 120 Ballistic Tips for deer and practice, that'll...

The problem with 7 lb scoped rifles are the pencil barrels that heat up fast and change impact. Let me ask another way. How many shots does it take to heat up a sporter weight 223?

Sporter, light varmint? I'm trying to find the best compromise of weight and repeatable accuracy. My hunting rifle is a 300WSM that weighs 6 3/4 lb scoped, slung and loaded. I want a similar weight 223 bolt action rifle so I can practice shooting a light rifle. I'll use it for field...
