    .280 Rem. vs. 7mm Rem. Mag.?

    I have a SIG SHR970 chambered in 7mm Rem. Mag. I bought it from a good friend, now deceased (RIP, Ray), in a cash crunch. I really like the rifle, but I think I'm a recoil sissy. Factory 7mms (e.g. Winchester 140gr. Ballistic Silvertips) cause me to flinch. Not horribly, but enough to cause...

    SIG SHR970 doodads

    My current go-to hunting rifle is a SIG SHR970 (synthetic) in 7mm Rem. Mag. Realizing that for the cost of replacement accessories I could buy a different rifle(s), where can I find barrels/magazines/non. magnum bolt? I've been pondering the addition of a .300 Win. Mag. barrel (realizing I...

    Tactical for Turkey?

    I have no bird hunting experience at all, nor with clay games. This season, I'd like to try my hand at central Texas turkey hunting. I know they have excellent visual acuity and are sensitive to motion. I'll take all the general hunting advice I can get, but I also have a specific equipment...

    Current Missouri CCW situation?

    I have searched a couple of threads here and done the state search at packing.org, but I'm still confused. My wife and I (Texas CHL holders) will be travelling to southern Illinois this weekend to visit family. I'm comfortable with Oklahoma, and Illinois policy is clear enough (nfortunately)...

    AR-15 extractor spring

    I've got a Bushmaster carbine upper on a Colt lower. Recently experienced several failures to extract during a range trip after not firing the rifle for a while. After clearing the second round fed into the rear of the fired case, cases would extract withmanual cycling. I had problems after...

    KR Training's AT Weekend Review

    I have been a Texas CHL holder for several years, but other than some informal IDPA-style match shooting, and various reading on self-defense issues, I’ve never had any structured personal defense training. I changed that by attending KR Training’s www.krtraining.com Advanced Training...

    First MilSurpRifle--New FR-8 Owner

    I've wanted a bolt-action "beater/truck rifle" for a while. Something compact, rugged, and without ammunition availability issues (will eat the existing 7.62 inventory for the M1A nicely). Had decided on the FR-8 based on comments at TFL. Found one (three, actually) at this weekend's SAXET show...

    Ladies' Belt/Waist Holsters?

    Recently, out of the blue, my wife asked me to start researching holster options for her. As background, she has her Texas CHL and carries a 2" Ruger SP101--in a little red L.L. Bean ditty bag. I've kept up the drumbeat for on-body carry options (although I don't always practice what I preach)...

    Two new homes in a month...

    As I posted in my last thread on TFL (who knew?) I have started a new job in Austin, Texas. One major system shock. Now, I find myself here. Hopefully being on THR (do we call it that?) will help ease my physical transition. Thanks to Oleg and associates for this tremendous effort.
