    Do you guys mount your own scopes?

    I bought a used FP10 in .308 a few years ago. It came with rings already mounted, and were "in the white" inside the rings. I called the guy I bought it from ( who claimed to be a retired Marine who instructed at the Scout/Sniper school) and he told me about lapping the rings to avoid torquing...

    Starling Shooting

    A nearby dairy had (has) s huge problems with starlings roosting in the cow barns and causing considerable damage. I was invited to shoot some by a friend who was a master trap and skeet shooter in his day. He told me to bring at least four boxes of ammo. Once darkness started, a single...

    Years ago, I acquired a 2-1/2" model 66. I wish I'd ordered a 3", because .357 cases don't fully eject from a 2.5".

    General purpose Tumbler Brass cleaner?

    Are you talking about dry, vibratory tumbling? Around here, Nu-Finish car polish is very popular. Add a capful to your media, holding the cap to the rim of the tumbler to get all the polish while it's running BEFORE adding brass. Otherwise the polish will stick to the brass and be hard to...

    Rifle Recommendation for Teen

    I bought a Savage "package", in .243 for my daughter when she said she wanted to hunt our local Blacktail. Well, she went off to nursing school and I used it that fall. It kills deer just fine, just like my Model 94 in .30-30. I don't want to give it back..

    Shooting Pesky Red Squirrels

    Years ago, my father in law asked if I had a pellet gun he could borrow. I had a couple of really cheap chinese break barrel .177s that I had bought for about $12 each. He returned it to me at the end of summer, remarking on the 10-20 yd. accuracy on red squirrels in his back yard. He had...
