    best rifle for pythons

    "What's the best rifle for hunting a 12-foot long boa constrictor?" Use a mongoose. Seriously though I would think a machete is plenty. If you don't want to get that close a shotgun will do the job. Do it clean and neat if you can. Lop off the head and give the rest to someone who will use the...

    S&W 5screw pre K-22

    Welcome to the club. Mine is a minty 1947 example. My only problem is that I don't shoot it as often or as well as I'd like. And remember, do not dry fire it without some empty cases in the cylinder.

    A little sore today

    Good suggestions, all. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it standing yet. The indoor range I use requires a seated position for all rifles. The range officer showed me a Past shoulder pad but I didn't buy it. I shot a few rounds without any padding. Then I tried it with some stiff closed...

    A little sore today

    I picked up a Browning Model 1886 rifle in 45-70 a while back but finally got a chance to take her to the range yesterday. Such a beautiful rifle. The thing kicks like a mule! I was using the 325 gr Leverevolution ammo. I also had a box of Black Hills 405 gr rounds too but didn't get around to...

    My Great Great Granddad, and his Colt.

    Whether it's a rare and mint collectible or a pedestrian model with "good honest use", the family connection always makes them priceless. Nice pieces with a great history.

    New S&W MODEL 19

    Model 19's are one of the most beautiful revolvers ever designed. But the forcing cone is an area of concern. Some people will tell you that they have shot lots of magnum loads and various hot rounds without any problems at all. The cautious shooter should stick to 158 grain loads however. Flame...

I practice with it regularly and I am confident it will do the job effectively. Those old security and...

    How load m14 type rifle silently?

    I don't know how close you are engaging your target. How about adding a bit more distance to the shot so the noise of your rifle loading becomes less noticeable to your prey?

    bin Laden Dead Thread

    Thank God and thank the courageous men and women of the US military. You mess with the bull, you eventually get the horns. Reports are that it was a ground operation. He was shot with a gun not bombed.
