For those who carry binos hunting or while recreating outside, curious to see if you have any recommendations. I have very few outdoor stores around me and those that are around have limited stock. I've done my share of Google research but never hurts to see what others are actually using in...

Thought the group could inform me on the latest and greatest for my use case and hoping you can bring clarity to the rabbit hole that an internet search leads you down.... I'm interested in plinking (with reasonable accuracy) out to 60 yards. Don't need Olympic accuracy but not beyond "pie...

We have an assortment of talented folks on this board. I am curious if anyone has made a bow from scratch? I have been pondering this as a winter project and was curious if anyone has experience or insight to share. I have done a rudimentary amount of research and have access to a few...

I picked up a Ruger 22/45 (base model, 5.5 inch bull barrel) and have been really enjoying it. I was thinking of putting a red dot on it for plinking and a bit of squirrel hunting.....was curious to see what holster and red dot folks were using. I had a Bushnell TRS 25 in mind as a good price...

A relative has a ~1928 Winchester 1894 that he asked me to clean up. It's been used plenty and the receiver has the majority of the blueing worn off, but no rust and the buttstock/forearm is in pretty good shape....no major dings or dents, no cracks, etc. I'm not looking to do a complete stock...

I thought I would harness the diverse knowledge of the crowd here to set me on the right path as I look to blaze a new direction in my hunting experience. I’ve hunted deer, bear, ducks, squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, elk.....etc for the past 20 years, but have been turkey hunting twice, going...

My dad's absolute favorite pistol is his Remington 1911. He just enjoys the heck out of it and I'll give him credit, shoots it lights out. For that reason, I've had the idea that a 22 conversion kit might be a good Christmas or birthday present. I have a few gazillion rounds of .22 to donate...

Two questions for anyone familiar with Auto-5's and the Savage 720/Remington M11 clones. I think despite the relative lack of part interchangeability between the models, this could apply to any of them. On a Savage 720, I had to replace the locking bolt in the bolt assembly. Picture attached...

Short story and question: I am investigating a double-fire malfunction in a relative's 16 gauge Savage 720. After disassembly, I found out the locking block rail sheared (red circle in attached image). There is only one channel in the locking block for the rail to ride (it seems there could be...

Hello - I have an opportunity to pick up a used A300 (very low round count, looks good on the exterior) locally for about $400. I hunt and shoot with a Wingmaster and was looking at getting a semiauto to mix it up a little bit. I searched this forum and a few results popped up, but less than I...

I did some clean-up work on a Winchester Model 60 (single shot 22 from the 1930s) that has been in my wife's family for years. As part of the breakdown, I drifted out the rear sight (the correct direction) to get the junk out that had accumulated in the last 80 or 90 years. I cleaned out the...

A Savage 775a popped up for sale locally in 12 gauge. I hadn't heard of it before, and did cursory research. Apparently it is a rounded-receiver version of the Savage 720, itself a licensed copy of the Browning A5 and the receiver is aluminum. At 200 bucks it seems like it's on the higher...

Some years ago, I was sighting in my rifle-sighted 870 slug barrel. In my attempt to adjust the rear sight elevation, the screw stripped. I was using the correct tool, but that's besides the point...it's stripped now. I relocated to an area where it's shotgun only and need to use this again...

Hi all, I have had a touch of Raynaud's all my life, which means when it gets below about 45*F, blood supply gets restricted to my extremities and my fingers go completely numb. I've recently relocated to the Northeast, my original stomping grounds as a youth. I haven't had to face hunting in...

There is a Model 90 for sale locally that has 26 inch barrels (unknown chokes) in 12 gauge. I never heard of the model before yesterday; my quick internet perusals indicate that it's a good "working man's" over/under and they are built well for the money. However, given that this is the first...

I've been shooting a carry handle/fixed front sight for years and am looking to get into an optic for my AR. I would prefer some magnification, but don't need a ton. My shooting is usually within 200 yards. I have opportunity to go longer, but that's mostly for practicing for hunting with my...

My best man has a 4 inch barrel 627 Pro, one of those nice 8-shot 357s. He's been in the market for a flap holster for it for woods carry and I'm interested in getting him a nice best man present. Does anyone have a suggestion for a holster maker that can accommodate a flap holster for this...

I have a good buddy celebrating a significant accomplishment and I'd like to get him something to mark the occasion. A smaller axe (~26 inch handle) and a hatchet would be right up his alley. I haven't been in the buying game for either items in quite some time. Can anyone shed personal...

Hello, Does anyone have a particular folding saw that they can recommend? I used my old one backpacking, taking down small trees/branches, etc. All around use, basically. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hello, I haven't ventured much into the realm of AK's and AR's. My experience with long guns is primarily with hunting arms and US military rifles. I ran across a Mak-90 Sporter in 7.62x39 in a gun shop today for $400. The gun was in good shape, appeared well maintained, and had a decent...
