There's ignorance and there's stupidity. Two totally different states of existence yet somehow anti gun nuts manage to be in both states at the same time.

I live near Fort Benning GA. I never served in the military. I try, at least once a month, to pick up the tab of a soldier if they are with their family in a restaurant when I enter. I don't do it for groups of soldiers...only families. If i did it for groups I would be broke in a couple of...

I much prefer steel and wood so I own older revolvers, a few older Marlin 336's, plenty of Milsurps, and "deer" rifles made before plastic, I mean polymer, became popular. I also own a bunch of plastic, I mean polymer, guns that tickled my fancy for one reason or another. My last rifle...

I have never had an issue with guns in a safe and rust and I live in Georgia where we have a tiny bit of humidity. I use the rechargeable moisture things (Remington I think) and switch them out when it occurs to me. I generally wipe down my guns with CLR or Rem Oil on a rag once in a while I...

Breaking down a Buckmark isn't like taking down a Glock. I field strip and rub down every new gun but don't worry too much about thorough cleaning. I like to know how a gun operates before I shoot it and taking it apart gives me a better idea on that. I have 22's that have 1,000s of rounds...

I grew up in Alabama where deer basically didn't exist until the 1960's(at least as far as the 20th century goes). I don't think I ever saw a deer until the mid 70's and by the mid-80's they were the most dangerous animal in Alabama. I grew up shooting squirrel and rabbit with a BB gun and then...

Ultimately I buy based on what I want and not on what they might eventually be worth. I think polymer pistols and ARs are saturated and I don't even look at them unless the price is WAY low. There are always new people coming into the market looking to buy their first AR or Glock and that will...

When a Detective Special goes for $850 the world is crazy. Pythons are $2,500. Finding a decent Smith K Frame for less than $400 is a real rarity. Generally speaking guns made of wood and steel hold their value better than plastic/polymer and will actually increase in value. Glocks, Taurus, and...

I frequent a lot of LGS and they know what I am looking for when I walk in. I have no problem researching a gun online while I am standing there in the shop staring at the gun (talking used here). If they are in line with what I see online and I really want the gun then I will buy it. If they...

I can't begin to count the boxes of bulk ammo I have run over the years. It seems that most manufacturers experience quality issues from time to time with Remington leading the way. I have had issues with Armscor but never with Federal. CCI ammo tends to be the best of the bunch for me with...

I couldn't count the number of rounds of Tula I have run through AR's without any issues. I bought a heap of it in 2013 and am still shooting it. I run Tula and Wolf steel in 9mm and .38 every weekend. I DO have a couple of 9's that don't like it but I think that is because Tula tends to be...

I could kill 100+ out the window of my hotel room in Billings right now. I wonder if Hamptons have a "no hunting from rooms" policy?

No political advantages to be had with this article. Next!!!

Inexpensive is a problem if you want good looks and accuracy. Heritage makes a decent gun for your purposes that I deem "affordable". They can be had for under $200 with a 22 mag cylinder but I don't think you would want to shoot that on 7 acres. LOUD! My Heritage is great! Extremely...

Scoped rifles (as most 270s are) are not really very effective at 10 yards as even a 3x scope will just show a bunch of hair. With that said I believe that just about any factory ammo made for the 270 will be more than adequate at any range your friend is capable of shooting accurately. As has...
