Wondering if anyone has any experience with these hunting pistols. I have always wanted a long barrel .357 as it really changes the energy of the .357 and I can plink with .38 special loads. I have looked into leverguns and pistols and this is the one that has caught my attention especially...

I would love to hear opinions on everyone's preferred night sights for a carry pistol. I need some on my S&W Shield and can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks in advance.

I just finished building my second AR and now am in possession of a Primary Arms 1x6 scope and a Vortex Strike Eagle 1x6, on two separate AR rifles. I am in a unique position to compare both side by side. I have had the Primary Arms for about a year and have been very rough on it and it has...

I am building a second AR and can't come to a decision on a 1-4 or 1-6 scope for it. I have a Primary Arms 1-6 on my first rifle and it is certainly worth the $260 I paid for it but I am looking for something a little clearer and with no fisheye around the edges. I am a big Burris fan but I...

I live in NC and it is finally legal to hunt with a suppressor here. I take my son and daughter in my dad's old box blind so the deer can't see them fidgeting. It is loud shooting in that blind with multiple folks in it. My question is that I am interested in getting an attachment for my rifle...

Just thought I would post about my experience yesterday shooting a buck in a thick area yesterday. I have always said that no gun would shoot accurately through brush and evidently I was dead wrong. It was windy yesterday and I didn't hear the buck coming in until he was already through my only...

I have a rifle with a scope set up for the Nosler Custom Competition 168 grains in 308 caliber. Does anyone have any ideas as to which hunting bullet(weight, ballistic coefficient) would most closely match the ballistics of this target bullet? Any ideas would be appreciated. So far I can't find...

My son has an AR with a 1/7 twist barrel. Any experience hunting whitetails with any of the rounds that work well with a 1/7 twist? I am planning on taking him deer hunting for the first time this year and he isn't quite big enough to comfortably shoot the .243 yet so I am going to let him use...

I am planning on letting my son try and shoot his first whitetail with an AR-15 this year. It has a 1/7 twist so I know I will need longer, heavier bullet than normal but to me that seems like I would need that for deer sized game anyways. Anyone have any recommendations for bullet selection in...

I am going to load some new hunting rounds for my 30.06, probably in 150 grain as I have had success with that grain in various brands. I have a box of Sierra GK 150's and was going to find a load for that round but after doing some research it appears that there are mixed reviews on this round...

My rifle is having trouble cycling Hornady Leverevolution rounds. Some of them get in a bind as they are feeding into the chamber and some of them get stuck in the magazine tube and I have to use a small screwdriver to get them out. Has anyone had this issue before? It doesn't do it all of the...

My son is turning 8 this year and wants to go deer hunting. All of my rifles are .30 caliber hard kickers except my AK. My AK also has an adjustable stock, scope on a side rail mount and a nice aftermarket trigger. I have never used it for hunting but it seems like it is the only option at this...

I recently purchased a new rifle and scope with a one piece DNZ scope mount. I went shooting on a 300 yard range in the woods last week and at the end of the session I tripped on a root and my rifle took flight and landed on a pile of rocks where someone had cleared a crop field. It hit very...

Just bought a Savage FCP-K in .308 and I am having issues with the rounds not feeding properly. They get stuck about 3/4 of the way in and I have to pull back slightly on the bolt handle and then push forward again, then it loads fine. Has anyone heard of this issue being common with this rifle?

I have heard that in order to safely use military brass that I have to take something out of the primer pocket. When I used old military 30.06 brass all I did was clean the pocket and ream it out a slight amount. After reaming it out a few turns with the deburring tool I could use most of it...

I recently purchased a Savage 10FCP-k in 308. I ordered a DNZ game reaper one piece scope mount. Once mounted the scope is so close to the barrel that when turned down to 4.5 power I can actually see end of the barrel and it blocks part of my vision. When I turn up the power this is not an...

Just recieved a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 from Budsgunshop.com. I am going to start load development this weekend but was wondering if any of you fine fella's would mind giving me your experience with what the Savage 308 LE series likes to eat. I have several thousand Nosler 168 CC's and need a...

I am considering the 4x14x42 and like it because you have a simple tactical turret with 100 yard increments and an uncluttered reticle for windage. Has anyone used one of these. Outdoor Life did an article on them and gave them the best buy award this year.

I am currently shooting on a 1,000 yard range with my Savage 30.06 (30 yr old) 110 hunting rifle with a Nikon Buckmaster with BDC reticle. It is good out to 600 yards with the Bullet drop compensator. I am looking at buying a rifle more suited for this purpose as I have really enjoyed myself at...

I set up my nosler 30.06 handloads at the coal that nosler recommended which was 3.320. My groups were 1.5 -3 inches. I increased the length to 3.331 where the bullet actually touches the rifling and with the same powder load I shot 3/4 to 1.5 inch groups. I have heard that letting the bullets...
