I have a blackhawk bisley with .45c and .45 acp cylinders. through plenty of reading it seems almost a rule that the chamber throats are undersized and in need of reaming to provide the best accuracy least amount of leading with lead bullets. my question is should i attempt this myself, or...

i recently picked up a blakchawk .45 convertible. I'm considering doing a bisley conversion on it. I currently have a lipsey's .44 mag super blackhawk bisley and love the way it handles, even with heavy loads. my main questions are how much actual fitting does the grip frame typically...

a friend of mine and i recently ordered ruger american predators in .223. we got a chance to do some medium/long range shooting with them this past weekend, so i figured i'd do a quick write-up. both rifles came nicely packaged with all of the usual paperwork, including an offer for a free...

i have a ruger american predator in .223 on the way. it'll see range use and predator/varmint control out to say 300 yds. what optic would you mount? i'm leaning hard towards a 3-9x and am considering the leupold mark ar. i would like to keep it under $300. i have much more expensive...

i have a colt 6920, with a centurion arms c-4 12 fsp front rail. i don't shoot this particular rifle that much, and may be looking to send it down the road. there isn't a thing wrong with it, it's just that i'd like to add a SPR type ar to the safe. it would seem to me to make more sense to...

i recently picked up a marlin guide gun. it's an older jm stamped version, and upon disassembling it for cleaning and a new trigger install, i noticed this crack. that's me gently spreading it open as much as i dare. otherwise it's unnoticeable. right at the receiver tang, maybe a half...

i just picked up a marlin 1895g tonight. it's a 2005 mfr., and checks out quite well. i'm headed to the range tomorrow. what sights do you guys like on your guide guns? i really prefer peeps, and there seems to be a plethora of sight set-ups for the guide gun these days. aside from...

i'm not a huge fan of the cartridge, and prefer calibers that start with .4 generally. i had and let go a nice 3" gp100 that was quite accurate, albeit 6" low and 4" left with the fixed sights. i like the gp100s and found an as new 4" for a fair deal locally. i also have about 850 rounds...

i'm itching for a 375h&h. i really like the look of the m70 safari express, but understand that the m70 alaskan is less chunky and easier handling. it seems winchester is not currently making their alaskan in stainless, which would have been my choice. anyone have experience with the...

this vid from about 4:20 to 6:30 pretty much explains how i learned to mount a long gun. (sorry i couldn't find a better or shorter explanation). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COoXVpGfXQE this explains why i don't mount scopes on lever guns. why the m14/m1a platform (as much as i love...

i just ordered a winchester m70 extreme weather in .308, and need suggestions for glass. i'm willing to spend up to 1k and am leaning pretty hard towards the zeiss conquest hd5 2-10. application is for an all around hunting rifle. also need suggestions for mounts. at the moment all of my...

i have a lipsey's super blackhawk in .44mag with the 3.75" bbl. (shown with some of CraigC''s fine leather work) [/URL][/IMG] i shoot this gun pretty well and really enjoy it. i'd like to send it out to have a bit of work done and am looking for recommendations of who i should consider to do...

i've been trying to decide on a laser rangefinder for a while. i've narrowed it down to the leica crf1000 and the vortex ranger 1000. i recently bought both ( being able to try them side by side and return the one i don't want for a full refund). price point difference between the two is...

headed to the local sportsman club today with a friend. we shot a couple rounds of trap to warm up and then shot several rounds of 5 stand. it's been years since i've shot organized trap and have never tried 5 stand before. the scores aren't worth posting :o i had a ton of fun though, and...

spent some time at the range today sighting in my flintlock, running my ar, and shooting my .357. also shot my .22 quite a bit. here's the best two groups of the day. i know they can be better. i've had a nasty head cold lately, and totally forgot my bi-pod at home, so i used a my range bag...

i've been wanting to get into reloading for a while. i bought a lee classic loader a little ways back for my .308 and it has worked well. however, pounding rounds together with a mallet got old quick, once i tried a freind's turret press. i still like the portability of the classic loader and...

i recently picked up a ruger scout rifle and have a question for those experienced with the action. the rifle feeds fine from a magazine, and you can drop a loose round on top of an empty mag and it feeds fine. however, if the round slides forward into the chamber prior to moving the bolt...
