I have experience with both the CZ 45x series and the Ruger M77/22. Build quality is essentially the same. But the CZ will be way cheaper, and allows you more brand choices for rings (or even iron sights) than the Ruger. CZ is super easy to detail strip as well.

These threads on pig calibers are turning into the "are Glocks reliable?" threads of the rifle forum.

This thread shows why new companies have such a hard time getting started in our industry. No matter how good a product you make, you will be faced with <insults removed> xenophobes who "wont risk" buying your products ... as if such an action were the equivalent of playing chicken, or...

Not quite as nice looking as a Browing 1922, but still very good looking.

OP: If this were not THR, you would be reading a swath of creative curse words. Stop trolling.

Please explain why you think either of those projectiles would behave differently?

The only thing energy figures are any good for is making a rough and ready assessment of the cartridges capabilities. I.E. - Bullet diameter is about X size, and strikes with about Y force. Splitting hairs about cartridges with a few percentage points more energy gains you absolutely...

Leave the 'Handgun' ammo in the handguns. There are far better loads availible for 3" long guns - Why on earth would you want 5 pellets of #4, or 3 pellets of 00, when you can get 5 pellets of 000 in run of the mill Winchester 'Super-X'?

Assuming the shooter is holding both handguns at an eye level of 5' 5" (66"), both handguns are zeroed @ 25 yards, and both handguns are level with the ground (0* elevation): 1) 125gr 9mm (Hornady .145 BC) @ 1,200fps (generic) would impact the earth at approximately 230 yards. 2) 125gr 357...

I could not disagree with you more Sir. I find the ghost-ring sights on an Enfield No.4, or a No.5 carbine to be ideal for hunting in heavy cover - especially when stalking prey which needs to be flushed, or shots taken on a moving animal. An optic of any magnification would be inferior for...

Having owned multiple types of all the milsurps listed here, let me say it is FOOLISH and exceedingly ignorant to make blanket statements about any of them. To say things like "Mosins are roughly built" or "Mausers are like Cadillacs" shows a lack of any in depth experience IMO. For...

My DPMS has a MOE 3 piece furniture kit, and a micro Aim-Point on an A.R.M.S throw lever mount. Some day I would like to replace the mini RDS with a Trijocon reflex sight. That's it. Nothing else is needed. As for mags, my DPMS has been reliable with all mags encountered. P-mags are nice, but...

I'm a young traditionalist. I like steel and wood, and I detest rifles which are piled with Gew-gaws. Even so, I hunt Coyotes with my AR15 sometimes. The difference is that my AR weighs 6.5lbs and only has ONE thing bolted to it - a red dot optic. No "backup sights", no bayonet, no lazer, no...

How old is that blog? I though R. Boatman died two hears ago? http://www.poisoncreekranch.com/ Yes, R. Boatman contributed much to the shooting community in his day, and he is worthy of remembrance... but it would be wise to take anything he, or his son, have written with a grain of salt.

While culture is a high level influence, I think its unwise to say that any issue is ALL about culture. You need to look are the current social dynamics of the situation. If you look at that chart, you can't make any reasonable correlation to gun control. There are multiple sates with all...
