    Reviving a worn blackhawk

    I've acquired a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 30 carbine. As you can see, it needs some work. My original thoughts were to give it an Aluma-Hyde II treatment, but after doing some reading, it doesn't seem like that's a great option for revolvers. The tolerances are too tight for my unskilled...

    Critical Defense bullet for hunting

    I know the Hornady XTPs are popular rounds for hunting. Do you think there'd be any advantage to the newer Critical Defense loads for hunting? I realize they're a bit on the lighter side, but would the construction help with more uniform expansion and better penetration on something like...

    T/C Impact - Weathershield or no?

    I'm looking at picking up a T/C Impact. My first choice would be the black stock w/weathershield, but I can't seem to find that model anywhere. Cabela's currently carries a black/blue model for $250 and a camo stock/weathershield model for $300. I've never really been a fan of camo stocks -...

    Walther 22 magazine ID

    I found a .22 magazine that looks like it holds about 25 rounds. It's an AK or AR style magazine. It's marked with "Walther" on the floor plate. I can't post any pictures at the moment, but thought someone might be able to tell me what firearm it belongs to with the information above. I...

    rangefinder recommendation

    I'm looking for a rangefinder recommendation. I don't want to spend much over $200 (and less would be great!). It'll mostly be used in the field for archery. We don't get long rifle shots around here, so I'll likely never need it for rifle shooting. Cabela's is running a sale on the...

    Ruger Survey

    I just received an email from Ruger asking various questions in a survey. One of the questions was what 5 products would you like to see from Ruger. I listed: SR-45 Ruger American in 6.5x55 More single action hunter models... preferably a blued one for us thrifty folk. Or maybe a matte...

    Why not more digital camo

    I've never been a strong believer in the popular camo patterns. I think they do a relatively poor job in breaking up your outline, which is the most important part of camo. In my opinion, a digital camo pattern does this much better. That being said, why are there so few options on the market...

    Raspberry bushes for deer or bear?

    I have some raspberry bushes that I ripped out of our property. They grow like weeds. I was wondering if it's worth planting them at our camp for deer or bear, or if it'll basically just end up being bird food. Anyone have any experience?

    Hard primers or my Ruger P90

    On a recent trip to the range, I had 4 out of 25 rounds where the hammer of my P90 dropped and nothing happened. A second trigger pull worked each time. The ammunition was Sellier & Bellot FMJ. Are they known for hard primers, or am I looking at a potential firearm issue here? This is the...

    Cast bullets

    I've read several recommendations on here for using cast bullets in a handgun for hunting. What is the advantage? Do they offer much expansion? How well do they stay together? I've only had exposure to jacketed bullets in my hunting career, so I'm trying to learn a bit more about it.

    Dust on brass after cleaning

    I just got finished cleaning my first round of brass. I did it out in the garage, but will likely move it completely outside after reading a bit about the potential harm the dust can do. I noticed that the brass had a light coating of dust on it after cleaning. Presumably, this dust has the...

    308 Bullet for Elk

    Hello everyone! I will be going elk hunting for the first time ever in October. I'm very excited for the trip... but I have a question regarding bullet weight and type. I will be taking a .308. It isn't possible for me to get a new rifle just for this trip, so a more powerful cartridge is...
