Check out prices for extra barrels for the Versamax, or any other high end autoloader. I think you might be better served getting a nice auto-loader for skeet, and a cheap pump for HD (Mossberg 500 or Remmy 870). I do get the folks that say that a short barrel is not needed for a HD...

I have two Express 870s, a Super Magnum I use for flying things, and a regular 870 Express for ground things. I have used both extensively for about a decade, have no idea how many rounds have gone through each (i.e. a lot), and have taken both in the field in horrible weather. In that time...

I see them, somewhat rarely, in the low $400's. I'd say those Gunbroker listings are high except that it looks like people are willing to pay that much . . .

I had a PTR and I liked it quite a bit. I had the Bill Springfield trigger job done and that was the best $50 that could be spent on it. I never got sub 2 MOA accuracy though. To be fair I was using PPU 175gr match and some South African 7.62 surplus. I did not spend enough time finding a...

I have an old Ruger .44 Carbine that I put Williams peep sights on. I adore it. It is good medicine out to 100 yards. As a hunting / plinking rifle I see no need for a detachable magazine - the tube works fine (especially since it will string when the barrel gets too hot anyway). As...

Yeah - how do YOU shoot each gun? Without knowing that it sounds like the only plus for the Saiga (in your description) is that it looks badass. Also fragout is right - the time to sell EBRs has passed (for now). I'd hold on to the AR's (and the Saiga too, unless you need the scratch)...

Ruh roh. You may have opened a can of worms with this one. I can say that I have two Remmy 700's. One is about 15 years old, the other 3. Both are very accurate and mechanically as good as it's going to get in that price range. I did not get fancy BDL or CDL models so I don't have fancy...

I tried it on my 870 with a sidesaddle scope shooting Buckhammer ammo. I was getting maybe 12" groups at 120 yards and 3" groups at 50 yards. I used that for a while before I got a Savage 220.

That's a pretty open ended question. How much are you looking to spend? What range are you shooting at? Are you also shooting at close range? The .308 can do a great many things between 0 and 1000 yards depending on what you want to do. As others have said because of the rear sight...

There has been a lot posted about .22 revolvers in the last week or two. I'd do a search for old threads to get more of the story. That being said there aren't a lot of cheap .22 revolvers out there anymore. The Taurus 94 is cheap but IMHO not worth it. The trigger is just too horrible and...

This should settle the barrel length / speed argument; http://ballisticsbytheinch.com/calibers.html I love my .357's, but for charging pigs I'd want something a bit more powerful. The gristle shield on the front of a hog does a great job of stopping pistol rounds (or at least stopping them...

What a great response from Rob. I just ordered my first SR holster from him last week. I can't wait to get it!

You can get a darn nice Ruger Mk-whatever for under $500, even new. I've had a 6" Mark II since I was 16 and I still shoot it all the time. I could disassemble, clean AND reassemble it when I was 16 too - it isn't that hard (just pay attention to the manual). I've found my Mk II is quite a...

While the bullet is moving slower in a short barreled pistol, there are a few other things that make recoil more severe. 1) Less weight and COG further back. 2) Higher pressure differential between the gas in the barrel and atmospheric (creates a jet effect). If you look at a pressure...

I'm a huge S&W fanboy but if I needed a pocket rocket I'd probably get the LCR. I was very skeptical, then I shot a friend's. Now I'm sold on the concept.

Yeah, a 5" -4 has kind of been my dream gun. Congrats on your great shooter!

I've come into some good fortune and have decided to celebrate by buying a S&W 629 (something I've wanted for a long time). The problem is I'm on the fence about a few models. What I'm looking at is the 629 Classic (5"), the 629 4" or a used 629 V-Comp. From 629 owners - which would you say...

Re: CRF I have two Remmy 700's. My 30-06 was my first center fire rifle and I've shot it more that any of my other rifles. It's also my hunting rifle so it has been abused worse than any of my other rifles. I've never had any feeding/extraction issues with either. My Mauser, however, is...

I believe only the stubby does not have the rail. Pity that it's a deal-breaker for you as the Rhino is a great gun. The grip angle is very comfortable and natural, IMHO. It's odd as it is more oblique (or "Glock like") than a conventional revolver. I do not like oblique grips in...

I'm a fan of the side saddle carriers. Also don't forget the mag extension.
