Starting to see rebates and other promotions on ammunition for the fall. Hopefully that is a sign that production is finally getting back to more normal levels. https://www.winchester.com/Rebates https://browningammo.com/Rebates...

Saw this announcement today. Guess the new owners don't want the future liability of the old trigger designs. Not a terrible thing getting a decent aftermarket trigger from the start. Only quibble is description says non-adjustable.

The thread on having someone else sight in your rifle has been informative and entertaining. I happen to know folks who not only use a gun store employee to sight their firearms, but also to clean them. What's your preference? If you have a trusted friend or a special service provider please...

Kind of a first for me. Going through gear this weekend, put fresh batteries in my Bushnell 1K that's been sitting since last season. Doesn't power up, so check battery and it comes out hot. That's disconcerting. Tried a second battery, same results. On its way back to Kansas for warranty but...

News articles have been stating year-over-year total firearm sales have fallen from the records set during the pandemic. I've noticed prices lately are becoming more reasonable and we are seeing sales discounts reappearing for firearms (ammo often still a question). For example, today's sales...

I have a couple of night time hog hunts booked for 2022. They will have feeders with motion activated green lights set up so in theory regular day optics could be usuable, however I would prefer to use night vision so I have opportunities for animals away from the lights. Realistic ranges are...

A while back I posted that I had run into some reloaded rounds that did not fire. I was suspect of the primers, though a bunch of folks were sure I must have inadvertently got spent ones mixed into my process somewhere. Well I set the rest of that brick aside and moved on. Had some loading to...

Plenty of ammunition and reloading supplies challenges already. Now appears black powder may become non-existent. Announcement reads: Effective immediately, Hodgdon Powder Company, Inc. has made a decision to cease manufacturing operations at the company’s Camp Minden, Louisiana, site while...

All too often I find myself changing parts/optics/holsters/accessories on a somewhat cyclical basis. Maybe it's fall hunting season is around the corner so time to try out some new piece of kit from an advertisement, or the great THR enablers opened my eyes to something new I just had to try it...

Many people post about shooting out of car windows or across the hood of a truck. I'm curious how common this truly is, either for target shooting or actual hunting. Growing up it was illegal where I lived to have a loaded gun in a vehicle (big gray area with ATVs) and the concept of road...

Took a few rifles out to the range yesterday to sight in new optics before deer season. Everything going nice and smooth as expected, then a click. Kept it pointed down range, lift bolt to recock, close and fire again. Nothing. Open action expecting to see I was possibly empty from a short bolt...

Might be too late as the word has gotten out, however Academy is doing 75% off clearance items this weekend to make way for new fall stock. Optics are very inexpensive right now! Had a bunch of Leupolds, Burris, Vortex, and Bushnell marked off. Got a Bushnell 1k rangefinder for $27 and a 3-9x40...

Like many people here, I get a good amount of email overload from various places I've purchased guns or ammo from in the past (and plenty of other vendors, too). An offer today was highlighting the restock of Tula 12.7x108. Got my attention enough to look at the ad since it was so different. I...

This is not my listing and I don't vouch for it, but in case someone is looking for the old steel bases for a classic rifle I wanted to pass along the info. Seems like these are very hit/miss on availability...

So there are some really good deals floating around right now on Savage rifles and they have a $75 rebate. I've been toying with the idea of buying one in 30-06 specifically to swap out with a new Shaw 9.3x62 barrel. Not expecting the world but a safari gun for $500 seems like something that...

Generally when we see a news story about guns written by the non-outdoor press we end up parsing it for technical flaws in describing guns, then declaring the writer uninformed and hence not credible. Although the tone of this particular piece is anti-AR, I would say it's probably the best...

The AR market pretty much cratered after the last election and a bunch of smaller companies have folded. A bunch of retailers have stock 223/556 rifles well under $500 and some large volume vendors are selling complete upper/lower combos for under $300 (plus shipping and FFL fees). It seems...

So for a long time now I've been a big proponent of practical, field position, and just plain old fashion plinking. I don't do benches anymore except sighting in new equipment or testing load work-ups. Our local public ranges have done away with plinking (too much trash so 100% on board with...

Twenty five years ago the Mosin Nagant in any flavor was an ugly, noisy, hunk of bayonet handle that could shoot a few bullets with the overall perception of a poor $45 boat oar. "Why on Earth would anyone want that?" and "where or why did someone dig up that thing?" were common thoughts and not...

A question from Facebook about background checks. An acquaintance has two teenage sons who are on spectrum with autism. She is usually very engaged in their daily lives, however she had a health issue recently and found other people basically didn't pay much mind to the boys activities. She is...
