Wooden scope mounts sonds pretty hinky. But my hunting hand loads do 1.5 moa on a scoped m44

I wanted one most of the time, and had one part of the time. As a backup incase of malfunctions, and as a primary if poking around in houses or tunnels. The rifle however, will always be my weapon of choice beyond ten yards.

if you are shooting a parallel line it won't be an issue even at long range. what you must do is sight in with the POA 1/4" off center in the same direction as the scope is off center. the best way would be to boresight it, the farther the better, but of course it is harder to do. it will...

I recall the NRA gave them a nice review in the American Rifleman a few months back, and it sounds like they are a good bet if you want out of box accuracy. I am eying them a bit, but alas, I am poor. And cast doesn't always mean brittle, just depends on the alloy, but it definitely can be and...

Probably some unburned powder in the short barrel, there is also an overbore of around .45 or 12mm that is about an inch deep, rather than a standard muzzle crown, so this may make for a nice chamber to form said fireball. On another note, I took my m44 that has had a scope added to the range...

When I was living in Boise I was told that I would not be breaking any laws by carrying on campus, only violating school policy. The reasoning being that though the school could ask me to leave, or add a fine to my school fees, or even expel me, but I was still in my rights to carry a weapon on...

My wife's Walther PPK/S is one of the most accurate pistols I have ever shot. Maybe we got lucky in picking, but it shoots good. I would pick that any day over something that I couldn't trust past twenty feet, no matter how big. I personally carry a .40 though.

Most vests, such as our own military's, are designed to stop shrapnel, not bullets. They will stop up to a 9mm fmj, but anything beyond that is not a guarantee. To effectively stop a bullet you have to wear the plates, and they always have gaps.

I don't feel that a .380 is ideal, not by a long shot, but it is sufficient if it is what you have. It also goes to show, that a bullet put in the right spot will usually beat the bigger one put in the wrong spot, and the .22 you carried on your belt or in your bra is better than the .500 S&W...

Since the subject is here, what about hunting? Of course they would have to take the classes, and possibly get a nonresident permit, but would they be barred from hunting? I have some friends in Denmark who are thinking of sending their son to go to high school here for a year or so, and I...

I reload on a budget, so I don't have anything fancy, but I have found some things that work for me. Crimping: I don't, not in anything that I shoot and have never had a bullet move. If I were going to I would not do the roll crimp, just the four petal lee stuff. I have had too many raised...

The wildlife services guy came out, then walked up to the deer, which started doing its little dance and ramming into him. So he went to his truck and got his 10/22 and went to pin the deer down, then held the muzzle up to the base of its neck, and proceeded to have 3 bad rounds in a row, or...

It's funny the runaround you get just trying to get in contact with the right person, but then when you finally have enough people harassing each other they get you in contact with the right person. So there is finally a wildlife resources guy coming out.

No 800 numbers that i can find. I guess I'll just wait.

That is who I called, the northern region office that is.
