    .22 rifle boresight problem

    Perhaps a set of adjustable rings? (There are others, and other sources.)

    30.06 Mule Deer factory ammo

    I, too, recommend going with what your rifle prefers. That being said, my .30-06 bolt guns are most accurate with the Federal High Energy w/ 180gr Partition. Cataloged as P3006R, they are no longer made but are still available. My rifles also like the older Hornady Light Magnums. I had...

    Colt 1903/1908

    Old Fuff's advice on magazine safeties deserves a caveat: when I first acquired Dad's 1903, apparently made in 1940, it's recoil spring guide was reversed, effectively disabling the mag safety. The pistol shoots just fine that way. (Dad was serving aboard USS Eldorado in Shanghai in 1948...

    Boresnake vs. bore brush

    I have one 'snake for my CCW that I have never added any fluid to other than bore oil it picks up as it clears the bore of accumulated lint. For cleaning after firing, I rely on mops, brushes, and patches applied with brass attachments on one piece rods. My primary reaction to Boresnake vs...

    CCW at a business I own..thoughts from other owners

    Regards the "truckers can't carry" myth: professional drivers are subject to the same laws as anyone else in whatever jurisdiction we travel in. There are no special restrictions on us, including haz-mat drivers. Within the law, FOPA and multi-state CCW permits make it relatively easy for a...

    Ruger Mark II Bolt Question

    How about a link to that service pack, please? Given my excellent experiences obtaining parts from Ruger, I am a bit dubious of a "pack."

    First revolver- Ruger super blackhawk- thoughts?

    My first revolver was a Super Blackhawk. I quickly tired of the single action shell shucking drill and bought a Redhawk Hunter (the best friend is still enjoying the SBH.) The Redhawk wears a Leupold M-8 2x in the factory mounts and is very muzzle heavy. If you have the opportunity, shoot...

    I lament the extinction of Colt handguns.

    In a recent edition of GunTalk, Tom Gresham hinted at the possibility of the return of the Python. All a bunch of wink-wink-nudge-nudge in response to a caller. A thorough search is left to the student as an exercise.

    Leupold Scope Ring Height and Base Question

    1-800-LEUPOLD Every time I have called Leupold, I have been connected to a tech who shoots, not a secretary or salesman. They have answered quickly, though once only after a thorough quiz to pin down the exact application I needed. Good folk.

    Rifle for daughter

    I met a family at the range one day that had cut down their rifle's stock to short enough for their youngest kid. They bought a universal plastic butt plate from Brownell's and ground it to fit. As kiddo grew, the thin plastic was replaced with successively thicker recoil pads. When the...

    Tips on getting a scoped rifle sighted in

    I bore sight my bolt action by removing the bolt, sighting down the bore at a cigh contrast target, and bringing the cross hairs to the target. High contrast in this case is a pinhole in aluminum foil over a flashlight, the sighting process done in a darkened room (this may be overkill for eyes...

    What do you think of this year's THR coverage of SHOT?

    Uh, oh... guess I am not in the target market. I was, until reading this thread, unaware of any effort by THR to cover either SHOT show. The little I remember, from Tom Gresham and American Rifleman, does not give me cause for concern over future efforts. SHOT is, after all, of, by, and for...
