Tell your brother-in-law that you want to start doing things together with his son, and that taking a hunter safety course would be a good start. Then take them to the range for a no cost to them treat.

Ahhhhh...the old bait and switch .....I bet the gun he wanted you to buy was more money...right? Texas has laws on bait and switch....I'm not a lawyer, but it almost smells like a dead rat.

Take the class. You will learn a lot.

We had guns in the house. I knew where they were but never messed with them. My father was an old master sarg. from the army...my Arse would have been grass, and he would have been the lawnmower.:)

I know you said hand gun, but....I have to tell you this story. So many of us have guns that have been passed from our fathers or grandfathers. It took me 45 years to get a 30 Cal Carbine back that my father brought back from WW2. He gave it to his cousin when I was just a baby. I offered...

I'm with Brett on this one....50 should do it. You would not have to debone the turkey before cooking it.:D

Alll of my guns have names....I wonder how I can clean this up so it won't get me in trouble..... One of my guns is a Taurus. Most of my friends know that when I am talking about CT I am talking about the Taurus. errrr.....Her first name is Clit........(I'm sorry I have a wicked sense of...

I picked up 9 oxes of Winchester Silvertip 30/06 180gr for $7 a box....bought all they had. :) :D I also ran into a Wally World that was getting out of the gun business when I was on vacation. It was a brand new Wally World. I asked where the guns were and a clerk told me that the new...

The info sure does help. If I were left handed I would buy this gun in a New York minute. It is such a nice gun. Thanks for all of you guys info. I can now know what he has so I can see if I can get a fair price for him. I just might seperate the scope like someone suggested. I thought the...

The gun does have all the things you said. It does not have carving on the floor plate. I think the gun must be at least 20 years old. I think the carving was added to the butt plate in the mid 1990s. What do you think the scope would be worth if I sold it seperate? You are right this is a...

This is a long story but I will make it short. I have been reading this site for a long time even though I don't post a lot. My best friend and hunting buddy of 45 years has had a major stroke. He will not be able to hunt anymore with his left hand rifle since that is the side that is not...
