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?

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...

Lately the 6.5 has spunoff lots of new rounds...that's OK by me but I'm old school and the 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser does all I need in Texas. I got lots of hunting rifles from .17hmr to 30-06 but this old standard is enough for me....current new one is a Tikka T3 Lite. Smooth action, beautiful...

I recently bought a Riley Defense AK just cause. It's a good shooter but even if I keep it oiled, the receiver keeps rusting up. What do yall think of Riley Defense?

I got a new Sightmark Wraith Mini K, it powered on and I kinda went through menus but yet to sight in. Today, wont power on, tried new batteries, no good, went through trouble shooting suggested on several webites, anyone else have this problem? I know its only an $800 optic but good enough for...

I'm thinking of getting one of these to mount on a Springfield Armory M1A. I already have a Bassett Machine M1A mount on it but recently took the scope off. the recoil of the M14 is nil and I think it would work....what say you experts out there. I scoped my M1A after 15 years and didnt like it...

OK, I'm old school, 68, veteran, lifetime shooter. I just bought a Glock 43X for concealed carry. Any gun without a manual safety scares me. I'm an 1911 person but all the ones I have are too large for conceal carry. I know I need a holster to prevent snagging and accidental discharge....why are...

I've never had a conceal carry permit, I do carry but they are all full size revolvers or autos. I am now in a job situation where all my co workers carry due to todays events. I know that no one wants to have to use one but even in small towns you never know. I am leaning towards a Ruger LC9s...

I havent been on here for several months so hope this isnt an old subject. I am 68 and my hands sometimes have problems racking my 1911s. I am looking at either a 9mm or .45 acp revolver, double action of course for carry purpose, so short barrel etc. Is there much difference in performance in...

30 years ago I bought 2 Ruger No 3s from an old man I knew in the oilfield. I bought one in .223, the other in .22 Hornet. Beautiful carbines. I put nice Leupold scopes at the time and I never got anywhere a decent grouping with either. tried factory loads, reloads and minute of pie plate. I...

I recently posted about looking for a 9mm revolver. I already own couple of 1911s so I love the .45 acp. I prefer the knockdown power of a .45 as I carried one almost 50 years ago. Do the ballistics vary from an automatic .45 to a .45 acp revolver? I would think the revolver would handle hotter...

I'm looking for a new 9 mm revolver. I know Ruger SP 101 is put out in 9mm but I have one in .357 magnum and grip is small even for my small hands. Any one have experience with the cheaper Taurus 9mm?

Ammo shortages again...Im a 66 year old ex grunt. Times are crazy, ammo shortages again. For me my basics in long rifle are .308, .223 and .22. In pistols .45 auto, .357 mag and .22/.22 mag. Every evening I hear morons blasting away and wasting ammo. What you old timers, and even new vets...

I hunt with Ruger Blackhawks in .357 mag (convertible to 9mm), a .44 mag and a .45 colt. I am leaning towards a small revolver for carry, looking at 9mm, .357 mag and .45 acp. Maybe a dumb question, but are the twists different on revolvers versus semi autos?

Old guy here, 66, been shooting 1911s since basic training in 1972. Arthritis setting in, Im looking for a short barrel 3 inch probably, either 9mm or .45. Pros, cons....ammo choices, performance out of a short barrel. Kinda looking at the Ruger SP101 right now.

Hey guys, don't get on here much anymore. Question...Im 66, hands starting to have arthritis problems, got couple 1911s, autos etc but sometimes the slide gets me. I realize Im old now. Anyways looking towards a good 9mm revolver, pretty sure it would come in double action. Any input?

my hands are starting to get arthritic, makes my 1911s and semis a bad choice. Whats the best double action 9mm out there?

I bought me a new Weatherby Vanguard Sporter rifle. I already knew Howa was making the lower grade Weatherbys. The rifle is marked Weatherby, also Howa Made in Japan. I always wanted a Weatherby.....now kinda feel cheated. What do yall think. My next rifle will be a Winchester Model 70...

I just ordered a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter in .308. Are Weatherby mounts the best way to go? I already got a scope for it, Leupold VX3 4.5 a x 20 x 40. Best ammo for it?, shows to be a 1/10 twist and looking at shooting 150 grain factory loads

I just bought a cheapo Ruger American Predator in .22-250 for my better half to shoot hogs. She is deadly with a .17hmr, but using that during deer season is not a good idea. It has a 1 in 10 twist and just wondering if any of you guys are shooting bullets other than 55 grain, maybe even the 70...
