    Anybody have experience with a Beretta 85?

    Been eyeballing a Beretta 85 (380) for a while but still haven't made the purchase. Anybody have any experience with one of these? It would mostly be a small range plinker and maybe and possible part-time CCW. Any Pro's or Con's with these appreciated.

    Good CS from Ruger

    I recently bought a Ruger American in .243. Placed a cheap scope on it and took it to the range. I was surprised by the accuracy of the rifle , right out of the box, but I did experience 2x a failure to feed from the magazine. It has a 4 round rotary mag similar to the 10 shot 10/22 rotary mag...

    AR Scope Mounting Problem

    I recently finished my AR build using Magpul furniture for my 20" flat top rifle. I then purchased a Redfield Revenge 6x18x44 scope. I started with a set of med height rings, but the objective lens touches the top of the front handguard, thus preventing the scope from seating in the front...

    Think I finally found the load for my Garand

    I've Been trying for a while to find the "sweet spot" for my 5.8mil Garand. It's a pretty decent FG from CMP that always shot the HXP pretty well, but I began trying various hand loads without much improvement until our last outing.

    Anyone have a 1911 style 9mm?

    Lately I've been thinking that I would like to have a 1911 platform in 9mm. Does anyone have experiences /good-bad/ with these? I would want it to be a reliable shooter. I understand the Star B's can be tempermental with ammo feeding. Any suggestions?

    03A3 Shooting high

    I finally got out to shoot an 03A3 that I bought last year. Metal and wood look very nice on this rifle, but after shooting it at 50 yds it is consistently shooting 5"-6" high. The grouping is good and repeatable. I checked the front sight blade nd found the letter "C" on it. After some...

    Anyone have experience with a Nikon P-223 scope?

    After finally coming to admit that these old eyes just dont seem to be what they used to be, I have finally decided I need to put a scope on my AR 16" carbine. Cost is a factor. I have made the "Black Monday" on-line purchase of a Nikon P-223 3X32 with the 2 piece mount from Optics Planet...

    Marlin 39A ...HELP!!!

    Today I was at the range with my Marlin 39A (vintage 1968). She was shooting fine when at one point I was working the action and the lever action will not close. The bolt is in the rear position. I don't want to force anything. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    J C Higgins 66
