    Pecar Berlin Rifle scopes

    I would really appreciate any info you may have regarding these scopes. My brother died last year and these 4 scopes, all sitting atop rifles, are part of the estate. I want to buy them ( and the rifles) from the estate and plan to pay the fair market value. The executor (my niece) will...

    Tikka T3X Super Varmint .223 report

    I think I promised a report after asking you guys some questions before I bought this rifle. This rifle has excellent fit and finish. I like the stock even though I usually prefer woods. The bolt is smooth as silk and it loads perfectly every time. Given my primary target, prairie dogs at...

    Determining age and value of rifle?

    A friend as asked me to help him identify the specifics on this rifle. With pics texted to me, it looks like he has a Winchester M-70 .264 Mag with a Mauser action. This is out of my area of expertise so pardon me if what i say is off bit. I'll try to get the serial number, but what other...

    Why are Hornady bullets available when Sierra are not?

    I've been trying to build a load for my Tikka T3X Super Varmint .223 and the 62gr Sierra bullet is highly recommended. I have had great difficulty finding this bullet. Sierra keeps promising me they will run them, but end up postponing the run. I've tried some Nosler but they are flat bottom...

    .204 Recommendation??

    I have owned two .204s and would like your help in choosing another. I had a gorgeous Ruger #1 .204. It shot good to very good, but not fantastic. It was probably the most beautiful rifle I've ever owned. I got an offer I couldn't refuse from a friend so I sold it. I also have a Kimber 84M...

    Suggestions wanted for PCP please.

    I would like to hear from you guys. I've been shooting an RWS Diana .177. It shoots good and I've killed dozens of pest squirrels and rabbits in my back yard, mostly 15-30yds.. The ones I miss are in dimly lit undergrowth due to a cheap crappy scope and the occasional longer shot maybe 30-40...

    Dove Hunts??

    I'm curious how you guys have done shooting doves this season. For various reasons I haven't gotten out yet. Has this year been good and if so, where? I'm headed to NW Kansas next weekend and hope I haven't missed the season. The area I hunt has lots of very large grain fields, usually dry...

    Springfield Armory 2020 Target .22?

    A friend of mine just bought one of these and shot some impressive small groups at 50 yds, <.4". I researched them and found numerous reviews on YouTube. Some found the rifle to be prettyy good but one reviewer said it may just be the worst new rifle for 2023. During his trip to the range he...

    Torque on scope mounting

    I mounted a set of Talley rings on my Anschutz 1517MPR. During my last p-dog outing the scope worked loose. https://www.talleymanufacturing.com/product/anschutz-scope-mounts/ I've used this type ring on 3 Anschutz. On one occasion I twisted too hard and broke the screw, thus requiring it to...

    17 HMR and weather???

    I have a couple of questions for you guys who have experience with 17HMR. I am preparing for a prairie dog shoot this weekend. SO, as usual I took my rifles, both centerfire and 17HMR, to the range to make sure they are zeroed and ready. My .204 and .223 both drilled bullseyes so no need for...

    Winchester 101 12ga vs. Browning Superposed 12ga

    I'm trying to decide which gun to buy/keep. I know the Superposed typically costs more (higher value) than the 101. I have a 101 20ga and would like to buy a 12ga to match it. the weird thing is I have a Superposed, but I'm not nuts about it. I really love the 20ga 101. I'm thinking of...

    Mepota scope question?

    I recently bought this model scope from Eurooptic. It has the perfect reticle for me. Unfortunately the illumination feature didn't work (wouldn't stay on) and I returned it. The replacement they sent had the identical problem so returned it too. Then I bought one with the same reticle...

    First squirrel hunt of the year

    Just sharing..........My buddy 'Joe' and I hunted squirrels for the first time this new season that opened 1June. We separated in the woods with him roaming and me sitting in my portable folding chair. He wasn't gone 10 minutes and I hear a series of shots over the next 5 minutes. About 20...

    Ported barrels or not??

    I'm considering buying a Benelli Ethos Super Sport 12ga with a Ported barrel. What gives me pause is the ported barrel. I've never had one or shot one so am completely in the dark as to the pros and cons. I'm concerned mostly about the noise factor. Do these shotguns emit more muzzle blast...

    Sporting Clays and skeet shotgun recommendations?

    I shoot mostly Sporting Clays with an occasional round of trap and skeet. My trips to the range have been infrequent and irregular. I've never made a focused effort to improve my shooting in those sports, but this week's dismal performance is encouraging me to practice more and perhaps buy a...

    Sako magnetized bipod?

    I was watching youtube video yesterday and the shooter of an S20 briefly showed what he described as a bipod made by Sako. The base attached to the stock as all bipods do and he popped the leg assembly off easily and it snapped right back on magnetically. I have looked everywhere I can think...
