    Stainless... is it less accurate?

    My understanding is that stainless is the most accurate material for a barrel, but also wears faster, and is the heaviest. Chrome-moly is lightest, longer lasting, 2nd-most accurate, but most subjected material to rust/corrosion. Chrome lined barrels are last in accuracy, middle in...

    Just how far will you go to support your local gunshop?

    I like dealing with my FFL guy quite a bit, $20-$30 is all the profit he'd ever want, if that much, but theres one aspect neither of us can ignore... On a few occasions we compared particular rifles, sights, and accessories. Prices I could find without much trying, either at walmart/similar...

    Another happy/satisfied Hi-Point owner here... The bashers should take a flying leap.

    My Wife Doesn't Understand Me

    Thats funny right there :evil: I mostly get understood... However sometimes, I have to resort to placing the blame elsewhere. I just say "Look at what GOD made me do!" :scrutiny:

    How do I take care of my new rifle?

    I guess cleaning is a personal thing. There are so many opinions on the right way, the wrong way, which chemicals, which lubes, patches or snakes, etc.. etc... you will be so confused as to what is right and what is wrong, that you'll ultimately do what you want anyhow. One nice thing about...

    Buying guns on the internet

    My local dealer does not stock merchandise. Actually, his town restricts him from stocking over a certain, minimal amount. He keeps a few handguns, and if he gets offered a deal too hard to resist, he'll pick up a few rifles. Mostly he orders what you want, or is happy to do transfers from...

    No more gun sales at Walmart??

    ROFL... you can no longer take an airgun/airsoft package off the rack here. If you want to pick up the pistol's package, you need an employee to "unlock" the peg it hangs on.

    10/22 Vs Shotty with birdshot

    Interesting article, and a thread resulting from it here Now notice two things... 94 years old! Birdshot in abdomen point blank! The guy just chilled, till the next day, got treated, and is still fine. Folks... I'll take the .22LR with something suitable in the magazine, like high...

    Quick, need pro-gun, anti-rape poster

    I'd just like to give you an "atta boy". Oleg deserves one as well. Campuses need the type of message his art sends so well, and it's great to see people like you, willing to post his art where its absolutely most needed. Good job, both of you! :cool:

    10/22 Vs Shotty with birdshot

    You can't really get an answer to this question, other than "yes." They all work well, it's the rifle that decides what it likes. Say for example, we both go buy 10/22s and go directly to the range with a box of Velocitors. Yours works all day long, mine works not hardly at all. You have to...

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    We're talking commercial ammo, for now at least. My landlord probably would'nt appreciate me making ammo, but the bigger concern is lack of an adequate work area. Someday I'll get into reloading. The rifles do not have to share the same cartridge, I just wanted to make sure I was'nt...

    Where can I get a bunch of .223 ammo?

    I get my ammo lately from Sportsmansguide. Joining as a member has some decent enough benefits, and my membership paid for itself twice on the very first order. Coupons help the cause. Otherwise, I like to run into this fine establishment at Funshows, he's the only reason I attend the Jerky...

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    This is something I read often, and exactly why I'm considering the bolt better suited to hunting. so the 30-06 is your choice I gather. Of the rifle choices you listed, while I like the Rem. 700, I feel the Savage offers the better deal overall... and I'm pretty sure I'll go that route...

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    No problem! Thanks for taking the time to chime in! It would be a cinch to pick up a .223 bolt action, but I don't think it would be a wise decision for my needs. Cheap example: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=43457019

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    Let me put it another way... I can go with: Henry Golden Boy .22lr Lever action (round $325) plain Henry lever action .22lr (round $250) and just shoot the levergun for fun... Then grab: Savage 10GXP3 Bolt action .30-06 (under $500) for hunting and target. for example only Or...

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    Well, 30-30 is a common chambering for Marlin and Winchester lever guns, meeting the looks, and deer hunting requirements, would you agree? Henry's Big Boy line has 357, 44, etc... Then theres .45-70, .308, .223, 30-06, etc... in some lever or bolt actions, and lots of others, those are...

    next purchase? - ammo cost/avail./uses

    .308 is an option, definitely. I got a bit excited for a moment, and then I looked at it :scrutiny: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=43286645 I don't feel these are very good lookin' rifles. Rather spendy also. The Browning name carries the weight, and price tag, of...
