50 year old Ruger M77 chambered in .257 Roberts. I bought it my senior year of high school in 1972 at a Gibsons Discount for about $110 brand new, I was working on a drilling rig for a friend in my spare time making $3.25 an hour as a 17 year old.

I have the Bassett that I got right after Mr. Bassett passed away, his daughter Romey (sp) sold me and her and her uncle showed me how to mount it, great mount that I can co-witness with. I dont use a cheek riser, I hate the way it makes the rifle look, I can remove the Bassett mount easily when...

on something like a .22, any cheapo like a Barska will work. You might consider the temps too cause the cheapos fog up quick. really with a .22 never have understood the need for a scope and I am 70.

I dont understand.

I am looking at a low priced scope for hog hunting at night, I am using green lights now. The two I am considering are the ATN and Sightmark Wraith models, both under $1,000. I dont have ultra deep pockets and I realize this price range isn't near the best. Any input?

I bought one for my 7 1/2" Bisley years ago, even in my safe it stays in it. Great holster, I think I bought it from Ruger itself.

I am waiting for the new Smith and Wesson 1854 in .44 mag. I have the Winchester 94 and Marling 336 in 30-30 already.

I had two no. 3s. one in .223 the other in .22 Hornet. Even with good Leupold scopes I couldn't get any decent groupings. I wish I still had them for my collection but they werent shooters.

what series is it? Newest one I have is a 581 series Mini Tactical. really nice little carbine and most of it is steel.

I'm too old for all these new calibers. I'll stick with a few, mainly the .308, .257 Roberts, 7mm-08, .22-250 and the basic 6.5 x 55 Swede. that's all I need.

I got a Ruger M77/44 in .44 mag of course and thinking about the Henry .357 now for hogs in brush.

I have a Ruger Predator in .22-250. I use it for everything from coyotes to hogs almost daily. good, cheap, realiable rifle.

Ruger is smart, their guns seem to work best if at all with their high dollar magazinnes.

I guess you can rule out small game like rabbits and squirrels.

Hi guys, I am an 69 year old very experienced hunter but on a whim just bought an entry level Traditions Buckstalker XT to start with, it is a combo package with a cheap scope that needs to go as have several in my safe to choose from (which is another question). any of you have experience with...
