Recently I bought a Savage Fox Model B Series H 12 gauge. It's in pretty decent shape but one of the firing pins broke yesterday while duck hunting. Does anyone have an idea where I could find a schematic for this shotgun? I spent the day looking online and couldn't find one. I'm also...

Took the 870 out today to test slugs. Federal Classics yielded 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch groups. Winchester Super X slugs from Wally World turned in 1 1/2 inch groups with monotonous regularity. The catch is that I had to load the dang things single shot. Will not feed into the chamber. What...

Scattergun Technologies ghost ring sights on my 870 are terrific until I move to clays or crows. I can bust about 75 to 80 percent of the clays moving straight away--I'm close to 100 percent with the Beretta O/U. It's a different sort of "sight picture" than I'm used to. These sights are...

Finally got my 870 back yesterday. So far I'm really pleased with it but only had time to fire one round of buck (00 Remington, reduced recoil) and one slug (Federal Classic). At 25 yards all 8 buckshot were well inside a standard IDPA target and the slug was off point of aim by about 1/4...

I have always been told that improved cylinder is the best choke for buckshot and slugs. My gunsmith is putting the finishing touches on my 870 and he suggests trying both the IC and modified choke tubes. Anyone have better results with modified choke?

Hot weather will be here before long and I was wondering what your thoughts are on keeping ammo in the vehicle. Last summer I stashed my extra ammo in my brief case and carried it into the office with me. I typically like to carry about 40 rounds of carbine ammo and 20 extra rounds of .45 ACP...

This was on a local newscast tonight: Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordian. Well said, sir.

Not in terms of range, power or accuracy of course. But the last few threads have reminded me of a quote by Turner Kirkland, of Dixie Gunworks fame. I no longer have the old Dixie catalog so I must paraphrase his words regarding the Brown Bess, "As it became more apparent that war with the...

There is one for sale in the for sale forum. Been thinking about a pocket gun. What do you know about these?

My range is in my backyard so i don't have to drive to get there. Still, my shooting has been mediocre this winter. Yesterday a buddy came over to practice with me. My draw times magically fell from 2.00-2.40 seconds to 1.69 to 1.98 seconds. All shots in the circle on standard IDPA...

What do you prefer for your everyday carry long gun? I carried a short ( 19 inch) barreled 870 for several years but have switched to an even shorter (16 inch) barreled carbine for the added range. There are trade-offs in everything. What are the rest of The High Roaders carrying for their...

Recently Jeff White wrote a pretty good thread on Jim Crews', "Some of the Answer: Urban Carbine." I decided to give Jim a call and order it and wound up visiting him for quite a while. It turns out I served with the fire crews that helped save his town in Montana a couple of years ago and had...

My wife has accompanied me to the IDPA matches and has apparently grown tired of the club president pestering her to compete. After she started showing interest I borrowed a slicked up, four inch model 66 and loaded some light .38s. She's beginning to really pick it up and just about ready to...

I finally got to handle my first Steyr Scout at a gunshow recently. While I really liked the feel I thought the $2200 price tag was a bit much on a used model. Anyone have an idea what the fair market value of these rifles are? Also, if you have some personal experience with this model I...
