    Price for a Belgium Browning SA-22?

    I've been keeping my eye open for a nice Browning SA-22 for a bit, and have found a 1956, Grade 1, made in Belgium from a local private seller. The rifle appears to be around 90-92% based on pictures, but I have not had the chance to see it in person. He is asking $700 but has indicated he is...

    Which Firearm Has Been a Pleasant Surprise?

    In the same spirit as the "biggest disappointment" thread, which gun purchase has been a pleasant surprise? Maybe you didn't have particularly high hopes for a firearm due to reputation, or bought something because it was cheap, just to find out that it's a pretty darned good gun. Mine has...

    Browning A-bolt Medallion .22 LR: Should I?

    Today I stumbled uppon an absolutely gorgeous Browning A-Bolt Medallion in .22 LR. It is a Medallion Gold, so was manufactured between 1988 and 1996. It is in wonderful condition, and the wood is beautiful! It has a Leupold Vari-X II 2-7 mounted on it that is also in great condition. I know...

    Good Day with the 300WSM

    I finally had a little time to go to the range and work on a couple of rifles. One was my Browning A-Bolt 300WSM. I'd previously had poor results with 165 Gr. Fusion (2.5" groups) and was hoping for better success. I picked up a box of Barnes VOR-TX 165 Gr. Tipped TSX BT over a month ago...

    New Package Ready for the Range

    Picked up my new Browning A Bolt in 300wsm yesterday and couldn't wait to get it rigged. The Burris I had planned to use didn't work out the way I wanted, so a trip to one of my favorite local shops was in order. I hope to get it boresighted next weekend before a trip to the range. The...

    The EWR: Evil Walnut Rifle

    I sometimes cringe at the term EBR, or Evil Black Rifle because I don't like what it hints at. With that said, I recently had an encounter with a truly evil rifle; the newly named Evil Walnut Rifle. It seduced me from the display rack, whispering sweet things into my ear until I asked to...

    CZ 550 American Scope Question

    I hope to pick up my new CZ 550 American in .270 Win in the next week or so.:) I planned on using my 3-9X40 scope, but wouldn't mind trying a 50mm objective on this rifle if possible. Are the CZ supplied rings tall enough for a 50mm, or am I better off using the 40mm? Any personal...

    Barrel to Scope Objective Clearance?

    I just finished mounting a new scope on my Howa 1500 in .223. I used medium height Burris Signature Z-Rings. The scope has a 44mm objective. The height is perfect for me as I have good cheek weld when lined up. My concern is that the clearance between the barrel and the scope's objective...

    Women's Shooting Club, a Favorable Article

    This was recently posted in a newspaper I sometimes read. It's a fairly favorable article on a Dallas Area shooting club made up of women. I don't live in Dallas, so I had never heard of them before. I thought you guys and gals might find it interesting and pass on the info to the ladies in...

    Scope Recommendations for Marlin 983S .22 Mag

    Yesterday I put a brand spankin' new Marlin 983S on layaway (there is a gun show coming up so I didn't want to spend all of my cash.) For those who don't know, the 983S is a stainless 22 magnum with a 12 round magazine tube, synthetic stock, and a few other little differences. I've been...
