So, my wife's birthday gift is going to be me buying an "expensive" pocket knife. Expensive is definitely relative, haha. I already have 2 Boker Kalashnikov Autos, one with a D2 drop point blade and the other an AUS8 tanto. Also have a Boker Dagger D2 2.0 OTF. I usually carry the D2...

I'm rounding out the last few things I'll need before starting to reload. The last major purchase, before I move onto dies and components for the caliber I start out with (38 Special, as was recommended here), looks to be a case prep center. I'm already set up with a wet tumbler for cleaning...

Hey everyone, rounding out my reloading equipment before I get started, and one of the bigger ones I have left is something to trim my brass. I'm going to start out loading 38 Special/357 Magnum, as from what I've read it's a pretty forgiving cartridge to learn on. So, trimming probably is not...

So, I just sold off my Vortex Viper HST for $500. It was just more scope than I need and I feel like I could better use the money elsewhere. My plan is to buy a less expensive scope and use the extra cash to invest in rounding out my reloading setup. I'd like to stay below $300 to leave a...

So, following up on my previous thread where I just ordered an RCBS Rebel kit, wanted to see what opinions are on a work bench for my setup. I already have a cleaning bench and a general work bench, but each of those either has bench mounted tools that would be in the way or wouldn't support a...

Hey everybody, apologize for the very newbie question/thread. I'm looking to get started reloading. Part is for a small cost savings (I know that isn't as significant as it once was), part because Illinois is working on making it more difficult to buy ammo, and part just to be more self...

So, my birthday is coming up and my wife has an aversion to buying me firearm related stuff if she can avoid it, haha. I've been looking through my Amazon wishlist, and one of the things I've thought about picking up is a pair of 8x42 binos (which are just separated enough to not be considered...

Hey everybody, I currently have a Sightmark Wraith night vision scope on my $50 Walmart closeout Savage Axis. I like it and have been impressed with it, but I'm kind of thinking about taking it off and only mounting it for dedicated night hunts. As nice as it is, it is pretty heavy and relies...

So, I've kind of been wanting to try wanting to try something different as far as a rifle rest when shooting. Right now my options are: Caldwell Matrix rest Caldwell Deadshot front and rear bags Bipod w/ the Caldwell rear bag I'm mainly tossing around getting something like a Lead Sled Solo...

So, awhile back I was given this S&W Model 15-3 by my uncle. It had belonged to my grandfather who passed away several years ago, and he got it back as it was a gift from him. He passed it to me as the "gun guy" in the family because he thought I'd appreciate it more than most. His one...

My father-in-law and I have tossed around starting coyote hunting the last few years, but this year we've committed to it. He bought a 243 for the purpose, and I started actually investing in equipment as I already had a couple rifles that can do the job. We have a couple options for land that...

I'm having a hard time deciding, so thought I'd get some input from some experts on investing. :D Between gift cards and cash for Christmas, I have about $200 to spend on firearm/hunting related stuff. My top 3 things I'm thinking about are binoculars, a rangefinder, and a predator call...

Haven't seen much about these on here, so figured I'd share my first impressions. It was delivered within the window they said it would be so they get credit for that. I was out of state when it came in, unfortunately officiating my grandpa's funeral, so this was a welcome distraction to come...

For better or worse, I seem to replace the stock on every rifle that I buy. I have 3 stocks that are just sitting around collecting dust, and I figure I might as well get rid of them. Anyone have any recommendations on how/where to unload them and get a few bucks? I have them listed on eBay...

I know many on here have probably grown up around firearms, but not all of us have. I'm interested to hear what led everyone to become involved in the 2A community because I'm sure we have alot of different stories. Myself, I grew up in a gun-free household. My parents were not anti-gun, my...

About a month ago, I sent my Simmons 1-6x24 Predator scope (that I paid all of $90 for on a whim) in because the windage turret was labeled like an elevation turret. It was usable, but it bugged me. Since Bushnell owns Simmons now, that's who I had to send it in to. A month goes by and I...

Recently I purchased a spotting scope from Harbor Freight on a whim. Being as I paid $45 for it, I wasn't expecting much and rightfully so. Its ok for looking at birds on the back edge of our yard at low power, but not much else. Messing around with it, though, made me want something a bit...

Being as I have one near me, I like the idea given the current panic. Focus on availability for the local community. I don't see other chain stores like Bass Pro, Cabela's, etc. following suit though, online sales are probably too lucrative. I personally can't order from many of the big box...

I recently bought a 20" heavy barrel Weatherby Vanguard in .223, and it happens to have a threaded barrel. The tinkerer in me feels like the threaded barrel is being wasted. A suppressor is out of the question, as they're illegal even with a tax stamp here in Illinois. My main use will be...

Hey all, a coworker (actually a supervisor) of mine recently decided he was going to buy a handgun. I have the reputation as the "gun guy" at work so he came to me to pick my brain. He has owned shotguns and 22 rifles in the past (still has some in storage back in Arizona actually) but has...
