I hope I didn't give the impression that the take-down feature was overly difficult. It's actually pretty simple to do. If the ability to break it down like that for transport is important to you, I would highly recommend one of these rifles. I didn't like the take-down process for the...

I really enjoying the broad range of rifles and scopes people are posting here. I need to load up a few hundred 308 rounds this weekend and hope for some good weather next week.

Now I know where all the Remington pump rifles went. You have them.

I appreciate the cautionary note, but I don't own a 9mm revolver and would only really consider one if there were a reasonable parent cartridge for a rimmed 9mm casing. I assume any rifle that might be close to the correct dimensions would likely have a case wall thickness that would pose...

Has anyone tried cutting a 38 special casing down and resizing it with 9mm dies to use in a 9mm revolver? Looks like the rim thickness could be an issue depending on the allowance the revolver gives for moonclip and rim. I also wonder about the thickness of the brass at the mount once it's cut...

That makes me smile for some reason. Does the 9mm Federal work in S&W or Ruger moonclip 9mm revolvers?

I had a Chiappa / Taylors modle 92 357mag takedown rifle for a while. Beautiful rifle to look at. Color case hardening was beautiful and it shot well, but was finicky about what ammo it would feed. I found that as interesting as the take-down feature sounded in theory, I actually didn't like...

I think my favorite revolver I've ever owned was a S&W 22-4 TRP. I'm not much of a moon-clip fan, but I picked up a bunch of 45 autorim casings and reloaded for it using those. That, in my opinion, was a very handy revolver. I really like the 45 autorim case. Some might see it as a step...

I love the rifles with mannlicher stocks, but the No 1 is especially stunning in this setup. Drool Drool!!!!

That looks really handy. What cartridge is it chambered for?

The thread on scout rifle scope placement was interesting, but I thought it would be nice to have forum members posts pictures of their favorite rifle/scope combination rather than discuss what they didn't like about other combinations. Here is mine. Vintage Weaver K4 fixed 4 power scope on...

This all gives me a good idea for a new thread.

Pub-prowling sidewalk-sharks require a totally different type of rifle set-up, for sure. Tommy gun with heavy duty rail to accept cordless chainsaw. No first-hand experience, so I'm relying on Sharknado for pointers.

Man, I would love a Redhawk in 50 special. Nothing better than a big hunk of slow-moving lead. 300 grains of lead at 950 fps and I'm a happy camper. Even more so if it's .05 inches bigger in diameter than my 45colt. Given some of Ruger's other product releases lately, maybe it's not too far...

I didn't mean in my last post that sticking with 357, 44, or 45colt was clinging to tradition, or even if it were that were that it would be a bad thing as long as it doesn't impede forward motion in design evolution. My favorite all-around handgun cartridge is the 45colt, so I'm not much of a...
