So you believe if you pay less then you get an equally good product. You are right, those Osprey scopes with the 3M adhesive will take a beating like a RPG strike and keep zero to a 1000 yards. I think I will order one. Oh contrare mon buddy, top of the line Bushnells are made in Japan...

I really want a 28 gauge semi-auto and I do not believe Browning or Beretta makes one. Regardless, Browning shotguns in my opinion are not pretty to look at and Berettas are too expensive as you pay a premium for the name.

I am just not sure whether to shoot it, sell it or trade it. I am too disappointed with Remington as a company for their various problems and will never buy another one of their products, at least brand new one, until they demonstrate change. I bought this shotgun as it was advertised as the...

That is what am thinking about doing. I have read the other threads regarding the gun and mine looks perfect. I am the kind of guy once I buy I never sell, but this may be my first. I paid about 850 on GB, BNIB. I bid and forgot about it until a week later when I won. I was only semi-serious...

I am curious what you guys think. I have a Remington 105 CTI that i bought several years ago, that is still brand new in the case and never fired. I purchased it based on Remington's reputation for building a good semi-automatic shotgun and I just liked the looks. Some don't. Regardless, I...

I have not bedded 75 rifles, but quite a few. I have used it all. Personally, I cannot stand Marine-Tex, not because it does not yield an excellent bedding surface, because it does. But, because I am a perfectionist and messy by nature and when bedding invariably I must make an adjustment and...

That is funny, because I own many pairs of cowboy boots of high quality and frequently polish them with cordovan polish to give them a different color appearance and it never wears off for years.

This is simple. There is only one organization lobbying for our right to own and use guns lawfully and that is the NRA. They are doing a fine job of that, no doubt. Does everyone like everything they do? No. But, if we want as a group to continue this freedom we must unite for the good of...

All good advise, just go easy with the steel wool as Jake said. Let the oil soak for awhile before starting. An alternative is to go with very high grit sandpaper like micro-mesh and start with 2400 and see which way you need to go. It is very gently on metal that has no rust. It will depend...

Interesting. I have a Remington 673 guide rifle with a rib that is screwed in place down the length of the barrel. At the base of the rib as it meets the receiver there is no screw and there is a small amount of play. I have always wondered if it has affected the accuracy of the rifle. It is...

Saltwood stock did occur with German made Weatherbys, but from the best of my recollection it involved the FN Mauser action and early Mark Vs made by J.P. Sauer. Unfortunately there was a short supply of walnut due to the booming sale of Brownings and some industrious souls in the USA, Missouri...

Congratulations on the purchase of a fine rifle in an exceptional caliber. It will provide you a lifetime and more of service. That is typical of the accuracy of the Howa 1500 action, whether purchased as a Howa or a Weatherby Vanguard.

Hmmm. Not a great idea imho. Chicom junk. When they were made in Japan they were a good reliable product.

Plenty of people have posted their experience with this Chicom pos. I have no experience with them because I do not buy anything made in China unless forced due to logistics. In addition, when presented with an optic that promises everything for next to nothing and it is made in China it is...

Total chicom junk.
