    Ode to the .270 Winchester...

    What most people don't consider, is that most of these cartridges are basically the same thing with different names. .270, .280, and 30-06 especially.

    Fondest Memories

    I'm sure this will change in the future, but my fondest memories shooting were when I would go off into the woods down an old logging road in the PNW with my Ruger 10/22 and a hand gun. I'd bring something to eat and drink and a brick of ammo, and make a day of it. I would plink away for hours...

    what's your brush gun

    I have a 30-30 Marlin 336 that I could use as a brush gun but I'm thinking of getting a Ruger Preditor in 6.5 creedmore. I don't think the 6.5 would punch through brush like a 45/70 might but it's a fairly light compact gun with a good cartridge .

    Savage Axis .223?

    I have an Axis in 30-06. It shoots about an inch with factory ammo. It could do even better with hand loads. I had trouble getting accuracy out of at first because of the stock and trigger but that was mostly my fault. I got mine for $200 at Walmart. It outshoots some of my brothers $1000...

    What is a good grouping with open sights ?

    With my Marlin 336 in 30-30 with factory ammo and open sights I can get 3 inch groups pretty consistently. Sometimes 2" groups. With a scope I get 2" groups consistently. With handloads and a scope I can get 1" 3 shot groups.

    Thought I was doing everything correctly until the big bang

    Thanks for reporting what happened to you. I'm just getting into reloading and after reading this I'm going to be extremely careful and hopefully I can avoid an explosion like that. I'm glad you didn't get hurt worse.

    Yet again, the AR15 becomes the root cause

    I agree with what some have already said about the club having armed security. Allowing customers to carry guns in a place where they are expected to consume alcohol and dance sounds like a bad idea to me. But having unarmed security seems like asking for this kind of thing to happen. I hope...

    .22LR ammo is now available, but where?

    I got a thousand rounds from sportsmans wear house near Seattle for $0.06-$0.07 per round. Not as cheap as it use to be but a lot better than I've seen it before.

    What guns have you sold/got rid of, and why?

    I got rid of a: Marlin 336 30-30. Sold it to my brother because I never shot it. Mossberg 500 12ga. Got tired of shotguns. Ruger SP101 .357. Too heavy to CCW. Sold to my dad. Glock 22. Got it just to try out a Glock. Didn't like it. Springfield armory XD40sc. Reliability issues. S&W M&P...

    Opinions on two .44 mag short barrel models

    Porting either ruins guns unless under the exact right circumstances, or it does nothing at all.

    Savage 110, new vs old.

    He doesn't hold a high opinion of Savage rifles even now, so maybe hes just biased. I'm glad you disagree as I've always liked Savage refles and the older ones are cheaper.

    Savage 110, new vs old.

    A friend of mine who use to be a gunsmith before he retired told me that the early Savage rifles were junk compared to the current model ones. He was talking about the ones made around the 70s-80s maybe 90s. A little research on the Internet turned up a few issues but nothing notable. He said...

    Bad Gun Shop Experience.

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. As for the people defending the gun shop, I believe your wrong: As far as the low price I was quoted for the M&P, I've sold more than a few guns to a few different gun shops and never have been offered much lower than about 70% of what it's worth on the used...

    Bad Gun Shop Experience.

    I'm not sure if this is the place this goes, but I went to Federal Way Discount Gun today in WA state to buy a used rifle, and I'm really dissapointed. The salesman was pathetic. I basically had to try to force any info I got out of him about the rifle, he acted like he new nothing about it one...

    Savage 111 Hunter xt. Possible good deal, what do you guys think?

    I'm thinking of buying this rifle and seeing how I like it. If I get it and don't like it, do you think I can sell it for what I put into it ($370+tax)? Sorry if that's not the right question to ask here. I have been away from forums for the most part for a while. I just want to make sure I'm...

    Savage 111 Hunter xt. Possible good deal, what do you guys think?

    I've been looking for a new hunting rifle and I found a savage 111 in 7mm Rem mag with a Bushnell scope for $375 new, on sale at my local sporting goods store. I've done some research but I honestly don't know a lot about rifles. I looked online and this rifle is going for around $550 at...

    Savage10 non Scope Package

    Thanks, I just got a new Nikon Buckmaster 3x9 for a pretty good price and a beat up old Leupold vx2 that I've been wanting to try out. I'm definitely not in need of any more scopes right now.

    Savage10 non Scope Package

    It's probably a decent scope but it having a scope on it puts it over my budget. If it sold with no scope I could probably afford it. I will probably end up buying a used model 10 with out a scope.

    Savage10 non Scope Package

    I just feel like I'd be paying way more for a cheap scope than I could get out of selling it. I don't understand why they insist on selling rifles with scopes already on them. Its like they're forcing you to buy a scope if you want to buy a rifle from them. Maybe I don't want to have a scope on...

    Savage10 non Scope Package

    I've been looking all over for the last couple months for a place that has for sale a Savage model 10 that doesn't come with a scope. All I can find are the package deals which is not what I want. Is that all they're selling now or am I just looking in all the wrong places?
