    New Savage 280 AI

    For years I’ve looked into the 280 AI and have contemplated building one with a Savage prefit barrel. Just today, I was browsing the Savage website and saw they offer a few new factory rifles in 280 AI. Is this caliber gaining in popularity? Has anyone seen one of these rifles or shot one...

    Potential move to Nebraska with handguns.

    just reading on the NRA site, it says a permit is required to ccw and to purchase a handgun In Nebraska. I may be moving there in a few months for work, is there any problem bringing the handguns I already own with me? Do I need to get some sort of permit for the handguns I already own? Any...

    New .277 Wolverine AR build

    This is my third AR build, so I wanted to do something different. Boyd’s laminate AR furniture, Giesselle ssa-e trigger, and mad dog weapons systems .277 Wolverine mid-length 20 inch 1:11 twist barrel. I like the old fashioned A2 sights, so the rest was built from spare parts I had laying...

    Pump shotgun ID

    Visiting with family today, my Dad tells me he just picked up a used 12 gauge shotgun. Knowing I am kind of the family gun guy, he shows it to me and asks what he just bought lol. The only markings on the barrel are 12 ga. 3”, and there is a serial number on the left side of the receiver. The...

    What do you consider good handgun Shooting?

    I confess, I am primarily a rifle shooter. I shoot rifles for fun, self defense, and hunting. I have not gotten nearly as much trigger time with pistols as I have had with rifles. I have taken a basic ccw course, and shot pistols occasionally over the past 10 years. I find myself constantly...

    Colt Delta Elite

    Guys, I’ve been shopping for a 10mm for a while. I’ve read a ton of reviews and opinions on the delta elite, sig p220, Glock 20, ria 10mm, ruger 10mm, and been doing a lot of looking and research waiting on a deal. All of a sudden today, on the local classifieds an original Colt Delta elite...

    Elk bullets, real world performance

    Thought I would share some anecdotal evidence of how a bullet performed on elk due to the large number of questions I see online for elk bullets. I shot a bull elk Monday evening in the last few minutes of shooting light, it was about a 250 yard shot at a slightly downward angle. I normally...

    Pawn shop muzzleloaders

    I've been searching for a good deal to get into muzzleloading by scouring the used gun racks and some local pawnshops. When I've checked the bore on some rifles, most seem rusty and several look like sewer pipes. I does not appear anyone cleans them before taking them to the pawn shop. Despite...

    Hi-Point 10mm Carbine

    Not sure if anyone has heard this yet, but it looks like hi-point is finally coming out with a 10mm carbine. http://www.guns.com/2017/09/19/hi-point-working-on-a-10mm-carbine-the-1095ts/ This sounds like it would be just about ideal in straight wall cartridge deer hunting states like Ohio...

    Ohio AR deer rifle caliber

    As I hunted deer this year in Ohio with my slug barrel mossberg 500, I was constantly thinking how I would rather be hunting with a rifle which I shoot better, is more accurate, and cheaper to practice with. After looking at several marlin and Rossi lever guns, I got the idea to try and find an...

    458 win mag Stevens/savage

    I haven't posted in a while, but I recently got this new gun in a trade. It is a 458 Winchester magnum, which looks to be on a rebarreled Stevens action. The guy I got it from said he used to take it out to Idaho to hunt bear. It also has a shepherd scope, which I have never heard of and do...

    Why aren't we compromising?

    I realize when you get nothing in return, it is not a compromise. When the antis take less of our rights than they want, it isn't a compromise. Why is no one on our side offering up an actual compromise where both sides get something? If they want "tougher" background checks, why not say...

    Gun situation better now than anytime since 1968?

    I noticed with the renewed debate in the AWB a lot of people are preparing for the worst. However, the fact that they haven't passed anything on the federal level shows there is strong opposition. Guns and ammo are flying off the shelves and congressmen/women are reluctant to support an AWB if...

    Tactical .410 firearms

    As I am sure most of you have noticed, 410 seems to be immune from the run on ammo currently. What hi-cap "tactical firearms" are available in .410? I know there is a Saiga .410, but they are selling for crazy prices. Is there anything else out there? Is .410 practical for self defense...

    What calibers have you taken deer with?

    I frequently read threads about what are you hunting with and what to hunt with, but which calibers have you actually taken a deer with, not just merely carried afield? I do not have as much variety as I'd like at times being limited to shotgun only areas but here is the list: 7.62x54r wolf gold...

    Shotgun patterning problems

    I have a mossberg 500 with 24 inch accu choke barrel. When using the xtra full choke, it seems to pattern about 2 feet to the left at 25 yards. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried a couple different turkey loads, and they all seem to pattern about the same, as in far to the left. I...
