    Recommendations for a new powder scale for my dad.

    So my dad has asked for a new powder scale for Christmas. He has an old Lyman beam scale, which was possibly made by Ohaus. He wants to replace it because he says in order to even register a measurement when he puts any weight on it, he has to tap it a few times. He said he would like to try...

    Range finder suggestion

    My dad and I have been talking about getting a ranger finder for quite some time now, and that is the only thing he has told me so far that he would like for Christmas. (although it is basically for both of us) We mostly want to use it for groundhog hunting, and I doubt we really need ranging...

    Movies with explicitly anti-gun plot elements

    I mostly wanted to find out if "American Sniper" is a movie I should be spending my money on. I heard that Bradley Cooper wanted it to push gun control, and I have read things which make me worry that Clint Eastwood isn't the RKBA advocate that many think he is. At the same time, I know Chris...

    sandy hook parents sue Bushmaster

    Does the fact that Bushmaster paid out on the Washington Sniper Shootings hurt their cause in this case? I'd say this lawsuit would be tossed out, but they paid out once when it appeared that they didn't need to...

    Escape from New York: Moving out of gun unfriendly areas

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/168770/half-illinois-connecticut-move-elsewhere.aspx I ran across this article the other day and noticed that 6 of the top 10 states which people most want to vacate are very gun unfriendly. Of course at least one of the states (Hawaii maybe Colorado) which people...

    Anyone remember the short lived Marlin center fire Bolt Action from the 90s?

    They said they tried to provide everything people wanted in a hunting rifle. Pretty sure it had a detachable magazine and three position safety. Really nice walnut stock too.

    Looks like CZ is fazing out the 550 in favor of the 557

    The 550 American has been discontinued. The Varmint models in .22-250 have been discontinued. The only "varmint" models you can get now are a "Tacticool" synthetic stocked .308 and a Walnut stocked .308. I don't really consider .308 to be Varmint round. I a not completely enamored with...

    Got an e-mail last night, VA governor signed Sunday Hunting Bill

    So Sunday hunting on private lands should be a go next year. I don't own any land...and don't hunt on private land much. Will have to see if the land owners I know will allow it. Hopefully next year the Wildlife Management Areas...which the fees of the hunters and fishers pay for, will be...

    Malfunctions with my SR9c

    I first took it out about a month ago and fired 197 rounds through it without one single hiccup. Last month I fired 17 Gold Dot 124 grain +P and 180 reloads using Berry's 124 Grain plated round nose. I am pretty sure last month it was a combo of W231 and due to the shortage...Unique...

    Best affordable calipers

    My dad just asked for some calipers for Christmas. He doesn't seem to care if they are digital or dial. What are the best calipers for the money. Not really looking to spend over $60.

    Something not right about this picture

    I guess H&K has some competition for funny marketing pictures....

    Shot some groundhogs this weekend (graphic pictures)

    My dad shot this one Saturday with his Savage 65M, .22 magnum. It is the largest groundhog either of us has ever seen. About 10 minutes later I shot this one at 100 yards with my CZ 550 .22-250. 50 grain Sierra Blitz Kings over 39 grains of H380. These things pretty much...

    How international is your gun collection?

    Virginia concealed handgun permit privacy.

    I probably remember hearing that the Virginia Legislature declared concealed handgun permits as restricted records, but it kind of just hit me the other day. The permits are recorded in Court Order Books, which are generally open records. These books are used a lot by researchers, especially...

    Fired case which came with gun, is not what gun is chambered for

    Anyone else ever bought a new gun and the fired case which came with it was a different cartridge than the cambering for the gun? I just bought a new gun chambered in 9mm and the fired case was a .380 The information on the outside of the envelop matched the gun...model number and serial...

    I wonder why Hogdon has no WST data for 9mm

    I use W231/HP-38 for 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. But in this shortage I can't find any, and WST seems to be available. Reading other message boards it seems WST is prefered over W231 for .45 ACP because it is cleaner and needs less powder for comparable velocities. Hogdon has data for...

    What is your spring turkey loadout (call, gun, ammo etc.)?

    I've used a Lynch Box call, a Quaker Boy push pin call but my most success is with a Hunters Specialties triple glass slate type call. I also have a mini HS Slate call as back up So the HS Strut Triple Glass is basically all I use now and until this year I have been able to call them in...

    .8 mm caused my Glock mags to go nuts.

    I thought I was going to have to throw out some of my glock 9mm mags..none of which has likely had more than 600 rounds through them. Last time I went to the range I was having problems loading them all the way and the spring seemed to be acting funny. I ended up taking them apart (huge PITA...

    Live round stuck in AR-15 chamber

    Hey, I was shooting my Ar at the range today...I shot about 130 rounds at the 50 and moved over to the 100. I was up to about 900 rounds trouble free until today. On my first mag at the 100 I dropped the bolt on a full 30 pmag M2. When I squeezed the trigger I heard the hammer drop, but no...
