I hope this is appropriate and I understand if it is not. OpticsPlanet.com is doing the exact same thing Cheaper than Dirt did in 2012 when they committed company suicide by cancelling orders to raise prices. I ordered 500 rounds of Aguila 115gr 9mm on Oct 10. It was showing available for .20c a...

I thought it was to a Luger but it doesn’t fit. It also doesn’t seem to like 9mm. You can put one in but no more

So my wife's favorite uncle is getting older and starting to give his things away. He gave us a beautiful 95% condition Browning Hi Power. He is, for the record, my favorite Uncle as well. First time to the range shot 50 FMJs, I think Norma 124gr, and it was flawless Second trip tonight shot...

So, a little background. For the first 20 years of my adult shooting/collecting handgun life I almost exclusively bought and shot revolvers. I had one Glock 19 which served its obvious purpose but other than some safe queen collectables the rest of my guns were revolvers. As we all go through...

So I just posted on the 9mm HST thread that I think any flavor of Federal HST ammo is a good choice for 9mm. But I also have a lot of experience in 9mm and there is quite a lot of data available for all kinds of firearms, barrel lengths, etc. I recently acquired a Sig P220. And while I have...

I have been putting this off for a while but decided that today was the day to field strip my Ruger. I know it's not supposed to be fun and it is not. I got as far as trying to pull the bolt retainer out and couldn't get past that. They say pull hard. I did. They say it can be tight. It is...

Good afternoon fellow High Roaders, EDIT- NICKEL, NOT CHROME. NOT SURE WHY I TYPED THAT AND YES I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. A couple of years ago I acquired a 1984 Colt Python. It has been fired I'm guessing a couple of hundred times but is in excellent condition. As strange as it sounds I put it...

2nd time this has happened recently. And it may not be worth its own thread but my wife and kids are out of town and I have nobody else to tell. They always want to shoot the revolvers. A buddy of mine who I have helped get into striker fired SD pistols in the last year called me wanting to...

First, I understand modern sporting rifles have taken over. I am speaking more historically. My 10 year old son was taking his hunter education course this weekend and he noticed that they did not cover pump action rifles, only bolt, semi, falling block, and lever. And his dad(me) generally...

I bought a Ruger LCR in .327 Federal and received it today. I was really excited about it. This is my second attempt at a Ruger in .327 Federal, but the other was an SP101 and a story for another time. Took ownership of the gun at the gun range today and immediately fired about 100 rounds thru...

Hello Thehighroad. Been a while. First, I am not looking for a debate on whether or not guns should be shot or are tools or are supposed to be fired or any of that stuff. That is a personal opinion for each of us and not what I want to discuss. Second, I am not talking about five figure stuff...

I have an interesting Sig P226 and I cannot find another one quite like it. It was manufactured in Germany in 1995. It appears to be an all stainless steel construction but nowhere on the gun is it stamped Stainless or S or anything. It just says P226. Was it common for stainless Sigs to not...

I feel like I should know the answer to this but I will have to admit I am more of a collector of cool guns than a shooter of cool guns. I came across a 1950 336 in probably 95% condition. I went out at the beginning of deer season to sight it in, thinking it would be a fun alternative to my...

I saw one in a store today in 99% condition. With a scope mounted on it. It's got a saddle ring and the cross bolt safety. It is not a commemorative or anything. Never seen one of these before. I found one on Gunbroker but the guy wanted a crazy 2k. I have not found much in the way of...

I am pretty sure the answer is no, but any reason shooting a .257+p Roberts out of a 1957 Remington 760 chambered in .257 Roberts a problem? I would think not. Most of what I read said the issues are for the older rechambered Mausers and such but not for modern deer rifles. I would consider the...

Yea yea I know. These threads are a dime a dozen. But I am in this position right now and want to make sure I cover all angles. I am going to by a custom rifle in 2015. I am not interested in any AR or any other semi platform. Bolt action rifle with a wood stock. I have a lot of nice rifles...

I know we have some experts on this subject on this board so I thought I would ask. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different rifles and own some nice one but have not, until recently, been too interested in ballistics. In the world I come from Remington CoreLokts was all there was...

So I have been given an almost impossible task(key word is almost). I have to buy my mother in law a new deer rifle for deer season. I hunt on their land, love my wife, and pretty much do not have a choice. I bought her current gun for her in 2004, a light 700 in .243 with a Zeiss scope. But the...

I know it is commonly though that the 30-30 has killed the most deer in the USA and the vast amounts of options today are allowing it to keep its lead. I am not so sure about this. I think the 22lr has possibly killed more, especially if you include modern poaching. My question is has anyone...

I always find this thread interesting because it shows the wide range of options, combinations, tastes, regulations, etc. For the third year in a row I fielded a different gun for deer season. I was tired of worrying so much about scratching up or otherwise hurting my nice rifles so I bought...
