Thanks for the photo and post. Is that a home made brass catcher, or is it part of the range bench? I have a Caldwell brass catcher, but the brass gets so hot it sticks to the mesh.

I don't shoot 380, but I do shoot 38 special. Speer Gold Dot standard pressure is my favorite 124g in 9mm and 185g in .45. The Hornady Critical Duty is intriguing, but it shoots low in my 9mm and I have not decided if I'll ever carry my .45. I shoot it well, but I just don't like it much...

I really like Harris Bipods. The one thing they re really useful for is hunting in the snow. Whenever you need to set your rifle down you can pull down the bipod legs and have the rifle nearby but out of the snow. They are heavy, so I don't use them all the time. I've never actually...

I see that the barrel threads for the Ruger American are the same as the M77 (1" x 16TPI). I was wondering if you could put an American barrel with nut on an M77. I'm asking because sometimes the thread geometry is different even with the same pitch. I'm hoping Ruger didn't do this. I have a...

I bought a Rossi Trifecta with a .243 barrel. I tried to find the lands with a Speer 105 Hot Cor. The bullet was not in the case when it touched the lands. The .22 barrel shot fine as did the 20 gauge. I'd go for the Winchester.

Most folks I know hunt elk with 30-06 or 270. I know a few folks who use 7mm Mag and two who use 300 mags of some sort. The folks who shoot the 300 magnums either have a brake or hate to shoot it. Elk seldom hang out near the road. Most of the time I've seen elk it's been way back off of...

I was in the Army Reserve for 12 years. I drove an M-60 tank, fired an M-60 machine gun, and a 105mm. I qualified Sharpshooter with M-16 and Expert with hand grenades. I never shot a pistol for Uncle Sam.

I love 30-06, but for me it's a 300-350 yard hunting rifle. I do shoot steel plates up to 450 yards several times per year, so I know for a fact that I'm not ready for these distances yet. I'd second the Savage advice. My savage in .243 is an easy 0.75" rifle with almost every bullet I've...

I want a 4" barrel compact grip SR like Springfield makes of the XD. Also the LCR 3" needs to come in 22 and 357.

I have a mil spec tube and a Mag Pul adjustable stock. I can't remember the model, but it has an extra clamp that takes the wobble out of the stock. Cheek weld with a scope is marginal, it would need some extra material.

I'd vote Mini (with your money). I bought an AR. I bought it in pieces as money became available. I can mod it as money becomes available. If I had the $$ I'd buy a mini - 14 and a mini 6.8 and a Mini 30. I like the looks and feel of the mini better. I was in the Army and refused to...

Blackhorn 209 powder and standard primers in Knight muzzle loader Some 12 guage buckshot reloads using really old Remington primers stored in a humid NC basement. You could actually see the shot loafing through the air. I've never had a squib lodged in a barrel. Even the muzzleloader sent...

That's pretty much my take on it, except I only got to drive an M-60 and I never shot a 155mm or 8" gun. Small arms are, well, small. Fullly auto changes very little of that. Bingo. Full auto without belt feed is only seconds away from "out of ammo".

How tight is the telescoping stock fit?

I would do it. The 760 can handle 30 06.
