    I shouldn’t bother

    Yeah, another bitter white geezer Bible and gun clinger, here, too. Beretta and Ruger may take up a fair size amount of my collection.

    Buck 119 or kabar?

    Look into Camillus Cutlery. They used to make a lot of Kabars.

    can't wait to shoot it.

    I like the beavertail. A lot of manufacturers have been getting stingy with the protection, lately. CZ makes great stuff. Still looking forward to getting a CZ75, and I EDC my old CZ 70.

    Who'd have thunk a Mosin Nagant could be accurate?

    But the Finnish M/N was superlative. In the end it was superior tactics and soldiery, and not the rifle, which decided that campaign.

    Who'd have thunk a Mosin Nagant could be accurate?

    IMO, the Mosin Nagant was a strong, service able rifle. Battles were won using them. But while the Garand, Enfield , and Mauser's redeeming qualities were sometimes named with being the deciding factor which carried a battle or campaign, I highly doubt the Mosin or Carcano were ever assigned...

    Name some "bargain" scope brands

    Leupold, Nikon, Zeiss. Want to "save money"? Go to Costco, Goodwill, and Dollar General.

    Name some "bargain" scope brands

    The best bargain brands for folks who are afraid they will pay too much, or the best bargain brands for folks who are afraid they will pay too little?

    Who'd have thunk a Mosin Nagant could be accurate?

    I really like my old Izzy Hex, it's 1926, and like somebody else said, they did a much nicer job on them than the wartime rifles. But, IME, while the cold shot is incredibly accurate, the pattern starts to open up right away, after the cold shot. The difference in accuracy from the Finnish...

    Buying scopes=what to look for?

    I don't like Vortex glass, and if you're at that price-point, you're very close to a Leupold or Nikon, cost-wise, anyway.

    Buying scopes=what to look for?

    Inexperienced shooters worry they will spend to much on a scope. Seasoned hunters and shooters worry they will spend too LITTLE on a scope. I would say look for good name brands, Leupold, Nikon, and Zeiss come to mind. Just get a basic scope, with covered windage and elevation turrets.

    If you Conceal and Carry, Do You Also Wear Body Armor?

    I DNK, I advocated for shooting someone in the jewels, for a lot of good reasons, and everybody went bananas. They didn't want to hear about nerve centers, vital arteries and organs, impaired movement, pain, psychological trauma,blood loss, harder to move a target centered lower on the body, or...

    Love Your Neighbor?

    This. If they were more concerned about accuracy, IMO, they would bring their own loads, and stop putting the load on YOU.

    Garand en bloc clip life expectation?

    A lot of times you can get them with the ammo. Some bulk purchases of 150 grain 30.06 ball(FMJ) ammo come with the clips loaded. A lot of times the Clip-Release Spring fails, and folks want to blame "defective or worn out clips". If your clip is jumping out of the rifle, half empty, it's the...

    What Gun For Bears?

    SA, SA, SA. You use it, at the gas station, or going to an ATM at night. Be aware of what you are doing, and what's going on around you, in bear country. While I personally prefer a S&W 629, I'm a big old Fudd. There's many fine choices, just don't skimp out on holster gear, if things head...

    Getting used to safeties that swipe up or down

    It doesn't bother me any, and I switch a lot from the up/ down type, like 1911s and 92s. I guess it's what you're used to. Some folk want it to always be similar. I'd figure out what you really like, and stick with it.

    To .22 or Not to .22

    For the same reasons you used 22LR to train your children. There's another benefit. 22LR ammo is notoriously crappy, so you have a fair amount of jams and misfires. Folks should also get some training and experience dealing with jams and misfires, before moving up to center-fire calibers. IME...

    If you Conceal and Carry, Do You Also Wear Body Armor?

    Well that's simple, you defended yourself to death! Don't you know it's WRONG to thwart the entitled efforts of criminals? It's highly unethical to expect someone else to support themselves. Where IS your PC?

    Think I'm going cow hunting

    Maybe you could invite your neighbor to a barbecue. Seems like a friendly thing to do. Be sure to cook his steak ju-u-ust right, so he asks where it came from...

    Dick's doubles down and hires lobbyists for gun control

    How about "dog eats itself" story? Or maybe "moron goes bankrupt" story. WHY, in the name of all that is sane, would you lobby AGAINST products you are retailing?

    Dick's doubles down and hires lobbyists for gun control

    What I wouldn't do to be a fly on the wall at their investor's meetings. "Last year, we bought AR15s, with your capitol, and cut them up into little pieces. This year, we are pissing your capitol away, lobbying to make it hard for folks to enjoy all the other firearms we sell. NEXT year we want...
