    Dream Hunting Guns

    I was at Gander Mtn last week and handled a Browning Cynergy o/u in a 20 gauge. Man, what a gun! Light, responsive, nice fit. A grouse slayer for sure. Alas, the price was $1999. More than I can even consider at this point. Still, it's nice to dream. What is [B]your[B] dream hunting...

    Leverevolution Sight In

    How many inches high should I be for Leverevolution 30-30 at 50 yards so I'm on at 200? The box says +3" at 100 yards for 200 yd zero, but I'm only able to sight in at 50 where I live. Thanks.

    Ruger 77/22 Lemon?

    Just picked up a Ruger 77/22 with a Bushnell Banner 4X scope from a local gun shop. I had such high hopes for this rifle, since I had owned one in the past and it was very accurate. Well, it shot Federal Value-Pack hps terribly, 1 3/16" at 25 yds. The Reminington bonus-pack hps were a little...

    Better General Cartridge: 7.62x39 or .243?

    I was the perusing the used gun racks at Gander Mtn yesterday when I spotted a Ruger 77 Mk ll Mannlicher carbine in .243. I'd alway been fascinated by this model and it handled very nicely. The only way I could see my way clear to buying it, would be to sell or trade off my CZ 527 7.62x39. I...

    Adjustable AR Stocks And Accuracy

    All else being equal, will an adjustable-stocked AR15 be less accurate than a fixed-stocked rifle? If so, to what degree? Thanks.

    Wolf Ammo Misfiring In my CZ

    I have a CZ 527 in 7.62x39. About one round in twenty of Wolf 154 gr sp misfires. Is there anything I can do to the rifle to alleviate this or should I switch to a different brand of ammo? I considered this my sort of shtf/survival hunting rifle, but not if it doesn't function reliably when I...

    "Best" Deer Hunting State

    I don't like these "what's best" questions, since it's largely subjective, but for the sake of discussion: Which state has the best whitetail deer hunting in terms of deer numbers, quality, generous seasons/bag limits, publice land availability, etc? Thanks.

    Encore Dilemma

    I've been thinking of picking up a T/C Encore for my birthday, May 1. I saw a couple at Gander Mtn yesterday with stainless steel barrels/receivers and laminated thumb-hole stocks for $549. They looked a bit outlandish to me but felt very good when I handled them. Anyway, one was a .270 Win...

    Gave In To The "Dark Side" Today

    I never thought I'd do it. I've been a staunch traditional side-lock muzzleloader shooter for eleven years, but today I bought a Lyman Mustang inline. I saw one at a gunshop this afternoon and loved the way it looked and handled. It felt like a nice upland shotgun in my hands. When I got...

    SA Holster For "Woods Bumming"

    I have a Uberti SAA Colt Clone. I've been perusing the net looking for a carry rig for hiking in the boonies. Are the western-style holsters with the hammer thong sufficiently secure for hiking, climbing over logs, crawling through brush, etc? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Does anyone here have first-hand experience with this rifle? I saw one at a local gun shop last week in .35 Rem in absolute mint condition. The price was around $475, iirc. Thanks.

    Shotgun Load/Choke For Varmints

    I have some critter, which I think is a badger, digging holes all over my property. Since the area has fairly tall grass, I think my best chance of getting him is going to be a quick shot at close range. I have a Remington 870 20 guage shotgun with screw-in chokes. What's the best load and...

    Magazine Pouch For Rifle Stock

    I have two bolt-action rifles that take detatchable magazines. I'm looking for magazine pouches that will fit on the butt-stock, so I can carry extra mags in the field. Anyone know where I can buy these things? I have a Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 and a CZ 527 7.62x39. Thanks.

    RB Size For Lyman Deerslayer

    I've been shooting .535 round balls out of my .54 cal Deerslayer, but they are so terribly tight that it takes practically all my strength to start the ball and ram it home. I was wondering if using .530 balls might enable me to reload faster without losing too much accuracy or if I just need...

    Different Tactics For Black Perps

    Given their strength and propensity for violence, should one be more warey in an encounter with a balck man than he is with a white guy? I've seen lots of police videos where white cops continued to be pummeled and beaten by blacks even after employing pepperspray or batons.
