Hi folks, Had a small scare the other day whilst reloading that might be a helpful reminder to people to keep safe and follow your procedures not being sloppy. Primer popped when being seated and flashed over into try causing other primers to detonate. This happened using a Hornady Hand Primer...

Hi there folks, I quite fancy putting a tang sight on my lever action 1892 clone (Chiappa in this case. Anyone done this? Hints and tips much appreciated. Which model did you use? Best wishes, Scrummy

Hi folks, I have a takedown rifle. (1892 clone). How do people sling theirs? Mine has no sling swivels and putting a clamp on the magazine tube doesn't seem to be a good idea as tube seems thin and can't take it down so easily... Thanks in advance, Scrummy

Hi folks, What's going on with Lone Wolf, they seem to have a lot of items out of stock and they aren't making their longer (9") 10mm barrels anymore? Scrummy

Thank John For all those kids who started plinking with an SA-22… For the satisfaction of breaking that difficult pair with a Superposed For all the deer put in the freezer with that old .30-30… For those duck limits bagged with an A5… For the guys going through Hell who thanked God when...

Hello folks, I'm looking for a load for my 24" barrelled 9.3x62. I need something that will expand in deer and be doing at least 2450fps at the muzzle (Hunting laws, strange things). Was wondering about Barnes Tipped Shock or Nosler Accubonds, both 250gr. (Usually use 285gr soft...

Hello all. It seems to me that whilst there are some good but more budget focused lever actions out there, most seem to be replicas that use top eject: Chiappa Rossi Mossberg etc Even Winchester 92 and 94s that are built today are top eject. It seems that only Marlin and Henry are...

All, I was having a bit of think and a musing with a shooting and reloading buddy of mine. And we were wondering what the best “family” of cartridges for reloading would be? It seems you have the following choices which will do most things you want might conceivably wish to do bar a...

Hello folks, looking for your advice. I'm in the market for a lever action in either .44Mag or .45 "Long" Colt. Don't think I'm too bothered which, out of a rifle barrel (~20") with a modern load in the Colt don't think you'll notice much in field difference I will be using this for...

Morning THR, Hope this finds everyone well. My local club has access to a gallery rife range for shooting "pistol calibre" lever action rifles and I'd like to do a little more of this so am thinking about getting a lever action. Now, I'd also like to use this lever action for hunting...

Hello folks, Am wondering about a .257 Roberts build. Why: Where I hunt .243 is the effective minimum for deer I like using heavier bullets so the Bob handles them better (Thinking 105-120gr) Seems to have a nice flat trajectory Not everyone has one... So, my proposed battery...

Folks, am I missing the point of the 20SF vs the G20? As I see it, there is little difference between the 2... (took the table below from Glock's website). Seriously, what's the point? G20 SF G20 Difference (%) LENGTH 204 209 2.39% HEIGHT 139 139 0.00% WIDTH 32.5 32.5 0.00%...

Well folks, I have been doing some more Long Range shooting and I have been bitten by the bug. Having only shot up to 300m before, I found a LR club and I'm hooked! So, I have a question: I'm thinking of getting a L-R rig. My question is which rifle? I'm mainly a hunter so what I'd like...

Hello folks, is it just me, or does it seem that it is quite hard to find a 2-8x40 scope by a decent manufacturer at the moment? I like the flexibility of the mag range and I also like how it doesn't upset rifle balance too much. It can't be that unpopular all of a sudden can it? ATB...

Hello folks, Am looking at getting a .22CF and given I have all my other rifles as Mauser actions with safeties on the bolt, I'd like something similar. I have: Brno Mod - 1 in .22lr Need .22cf here Voere M98 in 7x64 FN Commercial in 9.3x62 So, for me need: am thinking a: CZ...

Hello folks, Has anyone any experience of using the 7.5x55 Swiss as a hunting round? The removal of French military calibre restrictions has got me thinking... So, I'd appreciate anyone's experience / thoughts on ammunition and suitability. Had a look at the Norma website and they load a...

Hello everyone, Looking for advice. A couple of weekend's ago I took my girl friend (not shot pistols before) and her father (ex Rhodesian Army) pistol shooting at the local pay per play range (and he didn't shoot me! Woohoo!). Hired a private range for a couple of hours so could go our own...

Well folks, After hunting around for a lever action .22 this came into my LGS and it had to follow me home. It's a Winchester 94-22 in pretty good condition and I'm very happy with it. Can anyone give me some info on dates? Serial #F1608xx I'd be much obliged. And as “it didn't...

Hi all, I was looking at scopes for my .22lr and got directed to the Leupold VX1 2-7x28mm for rimfires. Then casting around the web, I saw the VX1 2-7x33mm for rifles proper. What is more there is very little difference in price. What do people reckon about using the 33mm scope on a .22lr...
