I started the first poll in what eventually became a series of polls on November 30th, 2023. The first 4 polls I created did not have a close date. I did come back later and ask the mods to close the polls but not sure if that happened or not. Regardless, this thread contains the results of...

OK, this is the last planned polled for the series I started back in Nov/Dec. Let's finish with .224 diameter projectiles. What is your favorite 22 centerfire rifle cartridge? I'm focusing on bolt and lever rifles mostly used in hunting and target shooting applications. The list of choices in...

My intentions is to keep this going by moving onto .338 diameter projectiles. What is your favorite 338 rifle cartridge? I'm focusing on bolt and lever rifles mostly used in hunting and target shooting applications. The list of choices in this poll is derived from the Hornady 11th edition...

New Year, new poll but similar to the others of late. What is your favorite .257 caliber rifle cartridge? I'm focusing on bolt and lever rifles mostly used in hunting and target shooting applications. The list of choices in this poll is derived from the Hornady 11th edition reloading manual...

The .308 caliber rifle cartridge screams red, white, and blue. What is your favorite? This poll and discussion focuses on bolt and lever action cartridges. I'm using the 11th edition Hornady reloading manual for point of reference. The number of 30 caliber choices in that manual exceeds the...

The 7mm (.284") caliber is my favorite. My very first centerfire rifle was a custom built (mostly by me) 7x57 Mauser on an already sporterized WWII era German Mauser rifle. It was originally an 8x57 but my dad purchased an ER Shaw 7x57 barrel. One weekend, we drove over to a gunsmith friend's...

The 8mm always seems to have had a dark cloud around it, at least here in the US. I've read many theories on why 8mms don't do well on this side of the pond; some I agree with to a degree and some not as much. Regardless, I think the 8mm/.323 caliber is very underrated. Even though 8mm bullet...

Good afternoon. Recently, I purchased a used Remington 722 (circa 1952) chambered in 222 Rem. My intentions with this rifle are to use it for small critters here in Texas. I also will likely let my son use it when he gets a little older; perhaps his first center-fire rifle experience. I already...

I'm relatively new to the lightweight rifle world. I purchased a new Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Compact chambered in 308 for $691 new at TSS Warehouse (online) last week. I picked it up from my dealer today and wow! What a fantastic little rifle! The fit and finish is better than I was...

Greetings all, I'm looking for a leather holster for a full size 1911 handgun. I prefer leather because I like the look and feel versus nylon or synthetic. I plan to carry off a belt on the waist, probably outside the waistband for comfort, though I'm not ruling anything out at this point...

Trying to help a friend who recently acquired a 6 shot revolver. See pics. Sorry, don't have any additional pics. Not even sure what cartridge this is chambered for. The finish is pretty bad and it has some pitting in multiple areas. The only stampings we could find were as follows: (On the...

Does anyone have a list of current scope options for those who want a gloss black finish? Seems like a few years ago there were more options. I'm not looking to start a debate on everyone's personal tastes. If the major vendors would add a filtering option to include scope finish, then I...

Just picked-up an L579 in 22-250 at a local gun show today. Looks to be in pretty nice shape. The stock is glass-bedded. I'll have to get it out and shoot it soon. Anyone else have one of these?

Bought on Gunbroker this week for 5 bills, plus shipping. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. Tracking info shows it should be at my FFL Saturday (tomorrow). I'll likely pick it up Sunday.

First of all, does anyone have one of these? I can't find a whole lot of into on it. I know its a wildcat. I also know the TTH stands for Texas Trophy Hunter. Best I can tell it's a 6mm Rem necked down to .224 caliber. It appears to be extremely close to the the 220 Swift in terms of...

Picked this up today. It's a CZ 550 FS. I've always wanted a European Mannlicher rifle. Seemed like the perfect cartridge to get this configuration in as well.
