I am seriously considering participating in Minnesota's muzzle loader deer season. Frustratingly, I am lost in the options and different configurations of these rifles. It seems like everyone sells these rifles, but no one knows a dang thing about them. I see the main types are the bolt action...

As I do every year, I am preparing for MN's firearms deer season by checking my gear over and preparing. A big part of this preparation is eliminating scent from my clothing and boots. We all know that big smart deer trust their nose and stinky hunters seldom see them. Then it occurred to me...

Here is a link to the news story. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/10/21/police-%E2%80%98good-samaritan%E2%80%99-shoots-kills-alleged-robber/ If the story is complete and accurate, the permit holder may be in for some trouble....:uhoh: It is usually a bad idea to chase and shoot a...

I was left a Henry .22 Magnum when my father passed last spring. It is smooth, accurate, and very handy. It had one issue though, the magazine tube pusher kept popping out when I shot it. I couldn't really see how it was supposed to stay in there, and wanted and opinion before I started hacking...

I was forced to sell my Winchester M70, and Remington M700 to pay a divorce attorney, a cruddy but very common occurrence these days. I hunted deer with whatever I could beg or borrow for the last couple years, but I was determined to find something to call my own this year. A close friend of...

The more I shoot .380, the more I doubt it's ability to penetrate adequately with expanding ammo. After much thought and many different ammo choices, I have decided to use ball for carry. My dilemma is that most ball ammo I see is loaded pretty light. Most ammo marketed for SD is advertised to...

My dad passed away recently and he left me his prized Browning Auto 5 12 gauge shotgun. I have done some research on this gun and inspected it well. It is missing the steel beveled washer for the friction bushing so it is out of service for now. I will order the bronze piece, the steel bevel...

I have a Henry .22 Magnum lever rifle I want to use for varmint hunting. It will be shooting nothing larger than a coyote out to around 100 yards, maybe a little more. I can see that there is an abundance of hollow point and expanding ammo for the .22WMR, but what works for you guys? This...

I want to add a red dot to my Browning Buckmark .22 I already purchased and installed a rail to replace the rear sight on this pistol, now I just need to decide what to get. I have been shopping already and see that there are many red dots below $100, this is about what I am willing to pay...

I was out shooting today and decided to see how many rounds I could hit at 50 yards with my 380. The pistol was a Bersa Thunder 380 CC. I was surprised to find that I was able to put 12 out of 18 rounds into a steel barrel lid. When I inspected the steel lid, I saw that many of the bullet holes...

I was poking around on the web looking for ammo when I came across Mora Knives. From experience with ice augers, I know that Mora makes the absolute best blades available on Earth for cutting ice. I was intrigued that perhaps the same Swede steel and craftsmanship would be available in a knife...

I have a Mosin Nagant 91-30 in very good condition with an "almost" bright bore. It is a good shooter and I shoot it well. I want to use it deer hunting this year to irritate a couple gun snobs (Weatherby worshipers) in my camp. I can tell you right now that the sights on that rifle work, but...

I want to kill a deer with my Mosin Nagant just to irritate my hunting rifle snob friends.:neener: I have pumped enough cartridges through this rifle to know that all ammo chambered 7.62x54r is not created equal when you examine the groups. They range from pretty good to pretty poor. What...

I know Winchester was in and out of production for a while, and they are cranking them out once again. I have heard some chatter about varying degrees of quality in some of their runs.... I am in the market for a new deer rifle and I can help but eyeball the model 70. The finest rife I ever...

My oldest boy and I have been burning through the .22 ammo like mad lately. We have great fun shooting, but are growing tired of scrubbing the gunk out of our barrels and actions. We went through a brick of Blazer that was AWFUL, and a brick of Remington that was a little better. Is there a...

Hi Everyone... I have a Browning Buckmark Standard pistol that has been sitting around gathering dust for years. Rim fire is fun, but I have a hard time getting excited about it. I bought my son a .22 rifle for his birthday and we have been doing ALLOT of plinking. That Buckmark has found its...

I carry a Glock 26 every day. I have no doubt that 12+1 rounds of Winchester Ranger T are enough for my self defense needs. I love this pistol more than any firearm I have ever owned, if it was a woman I would marry it. As much as I do love this gun, it is still a little big and heavy for...

I want an AK-74 or an AK-variant really really bad.:D There are so many horror stories of guns showing up with mismatched parts that wont shoot. There are just as many stories of rifles that need a ton of trigger work, grinder marks, poor accuracy, and other things that cost a ton to fix at...

I have been carrying a Glock 26 for about a year and I am in love with it. It is not only my EDC, but the only pistol I carry anymore. I carry IWB with an MTAC, and pocket with a DeSantis Nemesis. I am very very happy with these two holsters. I cannot seem to find leather high ride OWB holster I...

Long story short.... I no longer have my prized .270. I don't even want to say more than that because it makes me cry.:( I am on the hunt for a new baby, a rifle to have in family pictures with me. A rifle that I can get a real feel for and use for everything from long range fun to big game...
