    Right Handed Guns for Lefty’s

    "I’m searching for my first bolt action and wanted to know if other lefty’s specifically get left handed rifles, which limits my options, or do they learn to use the right handed ones?" I own 4 bolt action rifles, only one is a lefty bolt. I do like the lefty bolt gun a lot, but don't feel any...

    ACCY?

    that makes sense. Thank you. Guess I'll give them my own test and see.

    ACCY?

    that was going to be my guess but I still don't understand. I mean, is that particular load generally lacking in the accuracy department?

    ACCY?

    Hello, I bought some factory second ammo and it has this sticker on it. I looked at some of the cartriges and they look like normal cartriges to me. What does ACCY stand for in terms of a defect?

    Why the .44 Special

    I bought one, a Ruger Blackhawk flattop because the price was decent and I have an attraction to and smile at bores, the caliber of which starts with '4'. I like my 38/357s but I also enjoy the .44 Special. Mild recoil, big lead, moderate speeds, makes big holes in things. That's what did it...

    Lever Action 44 Magnum?

    I was able to hold the Henry steel in both 20" and 16", as well as a Marlin 1894 at a LGS. The Henry steel 16" is the one that came home with me; it balanced the best for me and I personally don't have issue with the loading tube. I reload and use it for making big holes in paper, and I intend...

    Henry 44 lever action, 16 vs 20" barrels?

    I bought the 16", in steel though not the CCH. I held both at the LGS and the 16" balanced better in my hands, and does so with a tube full also.

    any single shot fans ?

    it looks like your asking about .22 LR. If so, Savage makes a couple of single shot bolt actions; the Rascal and the Mark I. That said, I've not experienced any issues with my semi; a Ruger 10/22. But if it's of concern, would any non-semi suffice? If so, that opens up lots of options in the...

    .22 Lever Action Rifle For Snakes?

    Wow! Just wow! That's a mess-o-snakes. There are probably other uses for the skins than this, but I know that some folks who shoot traditional archery like to put snake skins on the backs of their longbows and recurves. That'd be a lot of skinning to do, and I'd decapitate each one before...

    Help deciding on a Henry

    I was able to shoulder a few samples at a LGS: Marlin, and Henry BB steel 20" and 16". I wasn't interested in the Henry brass; just personal preference. The Henry 16" shouldered, balanced, and just felt the best to me, and so that's the one that came home with me. Mine is chambered in .44...

    Henry vs Marlin

    Prbably hard to go wrong with either one imo. I recently went looking for a lever action PCC and had my choices narrowed down to Henry or Marlin in either 357 or 44. After handling, cycling, and shoildering both at a LGS I bought the Henry Big Boy carbine in 44 mag. It just felt the best to...

    My unique CZ 527 7.62X39mm and discussing the cartridge accuracy

    Not as good a group as Mr. Fairweather's but here is how my CZ 527 youth performs at 100 yards with a NECG aperture sight. Tulammo 124 gr hp. And yes, buying 1000 at a time is the way to go, especially with free shipping. btw, nice looking rifle and scope you got there, lionking.

    Scope for CZ 527

    are you intent on a scope? I put a NECG ghost ring N-104 on mine and like it very much. keeps the rifle lightt(er) and handy. here' a not-very-good pic.

    1911 22LR conversation kit

    I have a Ciener for my Springfield Loaded model. Never had a problem with the conversion kit. My problem was with my brain - Springfield Loaded model has a FLGR which requires that nifty little wrench to remove so that the conversion kit can be installed. One trip to the range without the...

    Walking in the woods rifle

    Ruger Gunsite Scout has a couple of variations under 7 lbs, with 18 inch barrel. Remington Model Seven laminate has 18 inch barrel, but I don't see the weight listed on the Remington site (or I'm missing it). Both have iron sights. Here are my two shorties that I think match the criteria. Win...

    New to Me RIA "Baby Rock" 380acp

    I've also had two of them. First one was 100% reliable with any ammo including powder puff cast boolit reloads. One day at the range the safety fell out of the frame. I looked closer and noticed that the plunger mechanism was also missing. Armscor replaced the gun with a new one and no...

    How many different caliber revolvers do you own and shoot?

    22 LR, 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 44 Special. I reload for all but the 22. and shoot them all about equally as much, though maybe the 38 is shot least.

    UBERTI CATTLEMEN II 357 Mag.

    Very nice! I got mine a couple of years ago and really like it. Fun gun, pretty to look at, handles well.

    Ruger Blackhawk Grip question

    Thanks very much for all of the feedback and suggestions. Without further ado, the answer for me was a pair of bonded ivory grips from Altamonte. Now its on to powder charging and bullet seating, and hopefully a range session in the near future.

    I’m weak

    You said that there were two revolvers in that store. Seems to me that you showed a tremendous amount of restraint in not buying both! Therefore you actually saved money. Heck, you might even find a use for the money that you "saved"!
