I'm looking at buying a New Vaquero soon. Actually a pair, for no other reason than to satisfy my cowboy fantasies and improve my shooting skills. I have a Blackhawk now that I love, but I like the looks, weight, and balance of the Vaquero better. I want to have action jobs done on them to...

Anyone do this? Is it doable?

I have an old 66-1 that I just love. I bought from a friend of a friend that needed the money and didn't have any interest in guns (he inherited it) and I was glad to rescue it from sitting in an attic or something. Here's my question. There is a bit of front to back cylinder play in this...

I took my girlfriend to the range this weekend, and I've created a monster. Her take on it was, "We should do this again. A lot. I'm serious." Yes, I'm going to marry her.

In my continuing search for a trunk gun, I'm leaing towards a 700 ADL. I want a bolt gun with sights and a synthetic stock. I'd really like a stainless gun but that's proving to be hard to find. The 700 ADL models I've seen with a synthetic stock and irons have a matte finish on the...

Let me preface this by saying I'm no accomplished deer hunter. I've gone out for about 6 or 7 seasons and had no success so far. I go with my dad and uncle so it's as much about spending time with family for me as anything else. They have much better results than me, but they've been hunting...

Does anyone make a bolt action like the following: stainless synthetic stock iron sights .308 I didn't think that was such a tall order but I'm coming up short. Anyone know who makes one?

Yesterday I stopped by the local shop to see what a Ruger MKIII would run me. They just happened to have the exact model I was asking about so it's on hold now. It's the 5.5" bull barrel. I'm going to put a scope on it, and I think it's going to be a Burris 2-7. The overall length of the...

I found some pitting in the barrel of my new blackhawk after my first trip to the range. I thought about sending it back to Ruger for a new barrel, but first I wanted to go out and shoot it a second time to see if it really had a problem. So, I went out today. I tried to really concentrate...

Noticed today my brand new .45 Colt Blackhawk has a pitted barrel. There is a band about 2 1/2" back from the muzzle where it's pitted all the way around. Some of the pitting runs all the way to the muzzle. This gun was sold to me as new, but now I'm starting to wonder. Does Ruger fire 6...

My .45 Colt/.45 ACP Blackhawk arrived today. I'm happy with the gun but I'd like a better trigger. A friend of mine has a well used old model and the trigger on it has spoiled me. Has anyone installed one of these kits themselves? Is it difficult and does it require special tools? I've...

Thanksgiving took me to Tulsa to see family. On the way out I saw the signs for the J.M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore Oklahoma. I had no idea that it would be such an amazing sight. Mr. Davis collected over 20,000 firearms and has the largest known private collection. The pictures I'm...

I ordered a .45 Colt/.45 ACP Blackhawk yesterday. Waiting for it to come in is killing me, but if I survive I have a question. What brands of .45 ACP and .45 Colt would give me the closest point of impact on target so I could avoid adjusting the sight? Is that even possible, or will I just...

I've been planning on restoring an old Stevens Favorite that belonged to my great uncle. My dad started restoring it many years ago but never finished. I got the barrel and some other parts from him today. It's been in parts for many years. I cleaned the bore with a bore snake and the...

My dad has an old Stevens Favorite that's been in pieces for many years. I think it's complete, but I haven't seen it for a long time. I decided to restore it to it's former glory for a winter project. He's going to find it for me and I'm anxious to get started. I've always loved the design...
