So, I was just asking about the 10mm heavy loads. Thank you to all of you for your input!!! In my research with your help, I ran into the 45Super. It looks like with changing the recoil spring I can use my Kimber Custom Target II as a 45 Super gun. Not so goods: 1. 8+1 instead of 15+1 in a...

I am wanting a fishing/bow hunting companion for bear county. What is your experience with either Glock 10mm model listed above with heavy loads (think Corbon 200gr or Buffalo Bore etc). Thanks Greg

I am in need of a compact 20ga. I plan to start my daughter shoot shotguns next year. We have some quail around here that are in need of frying. I have looked at a few online but they are unicorns around here in So Idahome. 1. Does anyone have experience with such an animal? 2. I’m thinking...

Can I use slugs in an older but otherwise good condition A5? Will the choke size matter? Kinda want to honor my FiL using his gun to bring home Bambi. Thanks Greg

I inherited the shotgun my dad carried as I was growing up. It shoots a 23/4 & 3” round. I’m not sure what year that became a thing, we always used 2 /34”. I guess I thought that was more recent. What I am interested in is using this gun to shoot slugs for late season deer around here. I...

A year ago I moved to SW Idaho. Love it! I had been wanting a DA 357 (I have owned a Blackhawk for years… along with a Marlin 1894). Moving is expensive. What I got I think is perfect for the fishing hole purpose I had in mind; I’d still like to get a 4-5” Smith for example too…one step at a...

I inherited my dads G23. So far a I know he actually fired it on two occasions with me (2004 manufacture). He probably shot it at least one other time because I saw he bought a magazine I never saw before when I was going through his stuff in January. When I got it home I decided that I should...

A friend wants me to go muzzleloading elk hunting this Fall. I want to learn about these rifles. Where can I start my research. Thanks. Greg

I have a Glock 23C manufactured May 2004. I am trying to change the sights. Unfortunately it is not the hexagonal screw holding it on. I have no idea how to load a pic. if this rings a bell, please tell me what I need to do to take this front sight off. Thank you… Greg

I would like to find ammo makers, such as Corbon for example, that specialize in hard hitting rounds. I bought some hard cast 45-70 from Corbon years ago and am now out. I have some LeverEvolution which I like, but I also want some Mjolnir bullets just because. But they ain’t now where to be...

I am moving to Idaho! As a gift to myself, I finally want to buy a .357 DA. I want to purchase a new .357 but not a custom one. From what I can see, that Ruger Redhawk with 8 rounds looks as good as any factory revolver and maybe better than some. Please give me any opinions as to what the...

So, I believe I have found my next rifle (see thread on Win M 670 243 Win). Questions on the 243 Win itself... so, this is an opportunity buy. I don’t need it yet, but my daughter will never be very large (doc expects she will grow to 4’11”). So I’ve been thinking a 243, for her hunting rifle...

I have an opportunity at this rifle Good shape. Haven’t shot it. I understand it is an inexpensive M70 from the mid 1970s. Does anyone have any experience with said model? Opinions? Thanks, Greg

I am at a friends house trying to clean a Bersa 644. I have attached a pic. For the life of me, I can’t get the takedown pin back into the frame. Help! Thanks, Greg

Now being the owner of these two fine rifles, (please don’t shoot me...) but I don’t need both. The Ruger M77 has some family historic value but not enough to be the deciding factor. The Sako is the ‘nicer/more expensive’ gun. Bullet technology will favor the 6.5 because of the Creedmore. The...

If you want to say Creedmore I won’t object. A hunting rifle for CXP2 game that is easy on the shoulder. I’m thinking for my small framed daughter. I own a .22-250 and a 6.5x55. Those two seem to cover both ends, but economy of rifles has never been a goal of mine. I’d like to read some...

What would be your second upper you’d buy for an AR 15 not a 5.56? Any opinions backed with opinions welcomed! Greg

So did either Marlin or Winchester ever make a .308 family levergun (.338 Fed, .358 Win, etc)? A second choice would be such an animal with the pistol grip and the exposed hammer. Because that’s what a lever is supposed to look like. I know Browning made such an animal. The thing that bothers...

So I did the obligatory Wikipedia search on this. Seems like a fairly common rifle. Nothing out of the ordinary. The 88 doesn’t have a hammer. Lever guns are supposed to have a hammer. OK Savage lovers hate me now, and the Ruger guys as well...I love Ruger too, but lever guns have don’t have...

Where could I start reading to learn about this subject? I have in mind for example a 7mm projectile (for illustration it really doesn’t matter what cartridge, but as I own a Mauser we’ll use that). Is it flatter (the variable I am after here) to shoot the 120gr faster or a higher BC bullet...
