    Shotgun for "ranch rifle"

    Been thinking about using a 20 gauge as a ride around gun for varmints on a farm. Mainly serving groundhog duty. Been using a rimfire but some of the angles I'm coming across varmints doesn't have a good backstop so I don't get to take the shot. So I was thinking a shotgun might be a better...

    Single shot pistols for hunting

    I have never had the opportunity to use/fire single shot break action pistol. However they do intrigue me and I have been seriously considering one. If I get one I would probably use it primarily for hunting out of a stand or blind in thick wooded areas for whitetail and have been considering a...

    What option are out there for recoil reducing stocks/recoil pads for big bore AR-15 rifles. I got a chance to shoot a 450 bushmaster today and I really liked it other than the recoil

    Rossi tuffy .410

    I saw one of these on the shelf my curiosity has gotten the best of me, so I started looking into them. I know the 26 inch turkey version has removable choke tubes, but does the 18.5 inch version? If not is it a fixed modified or cylinder bore? What is the overall consensus on these for a youth...

    Background check mandatory 3 day wait

    Had a coworker head to the local sportsman's store to purchase a rifle the other day. He's not a prohibited person by any means and he has never had a nics delay before. Well this time he got delayed and he said that everyone at the store was getting delayed according to the employees. So I did...

    Itching for a new hunting upper

    I've been kicking around the idea of getting a hunting appropriate upper for an AR, in something other than 556. Knowing Black Friday is coming soon I figured that there may be some deals floating around, but I'm not really sure what caliber to go with. I hunt woods in the mountains of the south...

    T/C still in business?

    Is tc still open. I have been warming up to the idea of a single shot and have started looking for them locally and even online but they are out of stock everywhere. I found a article from last year stating that smith and Wesson was looking to sell tc. I wasn't sure if they were still in business.

    Choke tube/newer shot questions

    I've got a 870 20 gauge that I use for turkey. It has served me well but I didn't connect with a bird that hung up out at the edge of my range. I was debating on getting a 12 gauge to sling more pellets but now I'm wondering if I would be money ahead by adding a red dot to help with the longer...

    30-30 160 grain ftx

    I found some 160 grain Hornady ftx and was going to load some up with blc2. Hodgdon lists 29.1 to 31 grains. Seems low compared to what others were saying on the web. Anyone have a Hornady manual for comparison. I know there is sometimes variance between sources

    Creedmoor brass

    This may be a dumb question. I know 6mm creedmoor brass can be made from 6.5 creedmoor, but can it be done the other way as well. Make 6.5 creedmoor from 6mm by running it through a 6.5 full length die and then trimming? I didn't know if the neck would be too thin or something else would prevent...

    Model 10 cylinder crane

    Today I was shooting had a squib that lodged just past the forcing cone. In the process of trying to remove the squib with a rod the cylinder crane literally flew off the gun. Attached is a picture. Where the retaining screw holds the crane in, I guess the crane had a slide hammer effect and...

    6.5 creedmor Hornady 140bthp load data

    I am having trouble finding load data for Hornady 140 grain bthp in 6.5 creedmor. I have reloader 16 and h4350 for powders. My Lee manual doesn't list that particular Hornady bullet or either powder for 140 grain bullets. Alliant lists RELOADER 16 for a Hornady 140 sst, can I use that data for...

    Longish range ar caliber

    I had a chance to shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor at 600 yards recently, and have been bit by the bug to shoot at that distance(possibly out to 1000 at some point) and I would like to do it on an ar15 platform. I currently have a 16 inch 1:9 556 upper. I can't shoot the heavy long range bullets out of it...

    Wilderness tactical belt questions

    I have been eyeing these for a while and am about to purchase one, but have an odd question about the buckle on the instructors belt. Does the buckle stick out more than a regular leather belt buckle? And does the buckle dig into your body when in weird contorted positions? I work on a lot of...
