    Mauser M18 vs M12

    What's the difference?? Neither are based on the old 98 and seem to be short throw push feeds. I know the M12 will have better finish quality. But engineering wise, what's different? Action? Bolt and lugs? Extractor/ejector? Barrel attachment?? I'm really intrigued by the Sauer 100 and Mauser...

    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    I'm considering a big boy rifle for brown bear and maybe moose. I currently hunt with a 338 RCM and want a legendary cartridge that won't get dropped (I'm grumpy with Hornady). I know the 9.3 vs 375 has been beat to death. Both are great, but I like the idea of the 9.3 more. But will still...

    CZ 600 new models?

    As always, I'm always scrolling Euro Optic website and noticed they have a new rifle listed in their SKUs but no info. Same way I saw the Steyr Prohunter iii were coming out. Listed as "ST2" and "ST3". But nothing else other than listings being built into their site. Can't see how those...

    30-06 velocity and barrel length

    I know this has been beat down before, but looking for fresh data. I scored a CZ600 in 30-06 for $350 (after rebate) and waiting for it to come in. If it shoots like my Creedmoor, it should be an easily consistent sub MOA rifle. But the velocity out of the 20" barrel concerns me. I might want...

    Looking for books

    Hope this is in the right place. Looking for winter book reads. Obviously, I want to be entertained first, then educated second. Looking for classic tales and stories of firearms, hunting, adventures from years past. Early days of Alaskan hunting, tales of legendary safaris, history of...

    Steyr Prohunter iii arriving?

    As always, I'm randomly shopping for a new hunting rifle. Euro guns always have my heart, and constantly scrolling the Steyr website indicates there might be a Prohunter 3 or III coming out. Eurooptic has them on their website but listed as out of stock (I'm guessing they added the SKU but...

    Leupold customer service?

    Quick version: anyone have experience with Leupold customer service with replacing an old scope? I bought a used rifle for a pretty darn good deal (Interarms mark x in 270). Came with an older glossy VXii 2-7. As I play with it, there's an issue with the glass on the 6oclock position. It also...

    Euro Trash: Arex vs Grand Power vs Bersa

    Okay I know the Bersa is Argentina and not Europe. But my geography consists of two countries: 'Murica and not-Murica. Considering a fun hammer gun from a <edited> place on earth: 1. Arex Zero 1 or 2 2. Grand Power K100 (even striker Q100) 3. Bersa thunder/tpr Anyone have experience? Looking...

    PSA Sabre line

    Palmetto State Armory just dropped their previously announced Sabre line the other day. It was announced at SHOT, that they wanted to create "budget premium" rifles for hard duty use. The parts and specs look pretty sweet, even using ambi for billet receiver versions. I might have to check...

    Prediction: tactical revolvers next?

    Just daydreaming... Short version: with throw backs being cool again in the endless cycle, when will revolvers get the new century tactical treatment?? Long version: I'd like to think I'm pretty in tune with trends in the gun market, from odd social media like mewe, to YouTube, Instagram...

    Mossberg 88 vs Stevens 320: budget blasters

    Hey all, I'm considering a beater 12ga combo (long and short barrel). I'm considering the Mossberg 88 and Stevens 320. After watching a lot of TFBtv shotgun burn downs, I decided I don't want a Turkish shotgun at this time. I have lots of experience with both Mossbergs and Stevens, so manual...

    Leveling optic cross hairs

    I used the search function but got impatient. I picked up a new CZ600 in 6.5 Creedmoor and mounted a Primary Arms 4-14 on it. Shoots really well so far with my 2 quick range trips. However, I'm starting to get very picky with scope mounting. I'm new at anything "precision" or "premium" as you...

    Sauer vs CZ

    This is a solution to another thread I have about "budget exotics"... I really want another 6.5 Creedmoor for target and some ability to hunt with My criteria are cool, accurate, 3 pos safety, and corrosion resistant (stainless, cerakoted, etc). I considered others like Tikka (unoriginal...

    "budget exotic" rifles: help me with a new hunting gun

    Not really exotic... But my last hunt got me craving a new rifle. But I like things that are a little different. I've considered the usual suspects like Savage and Winchester and more hipster options like Tikka or Bergara. But I'm really wanting something cool. I'm looking at the Sauer 100 or...

    Moose hunting... 338 RCM ain't dead to me yet

    When I moved to Alaska, I jumped around with options for hunting because nothing made me happy Ended up with the early Ruger Guide Gun (I think). It's the stainless M77 chambered in the proprietary 338 RCM. Got the rifle cheap and scored a clearance bulk of ammo at $12/box. The 338 Ruger...

    Obsessed with Camo? Anyone else?

    Ever since I was a kid, camo and the science of camouflage has been a huge interest to me. From military to hunting styles, clothes and gear... I just love reading about it and seeing new styles and technique and technology. Generally, there's lots of marketing mumbo-jumbo, and I understand it...

    Would you trust a Taurus against dangerous game?

    All the bear threads have been making me kick around the idea of a big bore revolver. On paper, I really like the Taurus tracker 44 mag. Light, smaller, cheaper than the competition. But it's a Taurus. I know there is a love/hate on the internet. And I would not hesitate for a fun gun or even...

    West German SIG P220: school me

    Looking at a nice shooting hammer .45, mostly midrange 1911, but will consider others. Local shop has a decent SIG P220, older West German version. Don't know alot, it's cerakoted a dark olive color, actually looks pretty nice and subtle. Clearly it was a surplus gun of sorts and the coating...

    "New" rifle: Springfield Hellion

    SHOT Show season!! HS Produkt made VHS-2 rebranded and imported. Looks cool, usual high end bullpup quirks. Hate the name, like most Springfield Armory products. I'm sure the marketing will be, as the kids say, cringe. MSRP of I think $1900...
