    Bersa 9

    found a smokin deal on a Bersa Thunder 9 and found this to be a great entry level gun. My first handgun. Very pleased with the Thunder so far. I've got Break free powder remover and Remington oil. Sound like a good regimen of products. Please elaborate. Less frequent full-disassembly needed?

    Ruger Single Six

    I lef the shop with a brand new Single 6 Convertible and didn't realize the gun I had was not the adjustable sights model. I was too excited I guess after all the complications getting it in the first place. A scoped 22mag could be a fun small game set up. I will be contacting the shop about...

    Sidearm Pair

    Starting to learn about handguns. I think small game pistol hunting would be a blast. I also want an option for power (for mid-range larger game hunting or defense). Is there a centerfire caliber that crosses over? Both hunting handguns would need to be tapped for bases or have a rail...

    2" high@100

    I read a blurb about some guys kill zone theory and I thought I'd bounce it off you guys. He's got it figured out so that his rifle is 3.5" high at 100 and 3.5 low at 300 I think. He doesn't entertain any real hold-over when he deer hunts because his kill zone is 7" between 100-300 yards. He...

    2nd 10/22

    The first rifle I bought was a 10/22. I no longer have it but now I'm considering the purchase. I like the WMR option. How much more doe$ it co$t? Anyhow, is the barrel band a variable? Talk to me about what you think the best factory set up is. I like the contoured but plate and the SS...

    How to ask

    I'd like to inquire with some cattle ranchers in our state and see if they'd allow me to hunt on their property. Any insight into asking for permission from a stranger is very appreciated. I want to present well.

    What's the Diff!?

    I found the "Survivor" rifle on the Harrington & Richards site which I got to from the Marlin site. Pretty awesome little piece with a bull barrel. Reminisant of the Encore or Contender but more industrial. It's almost a takedown in a way. And, it'll throw down in .308. Anyway, I have found the...

    Almost Geared Up!

    Picked up some new equipment on a shopping mission today. Got some awsome Scarpa GoreTex boots and an Under Armour hood and some good gloves. Scored a diamond blade sharpener for the camp kit. Little stuff. Every year or so you gotta fill in the gaps. It was fun to shop and feel all excited...

    Carry two rifles

    Do any of you carry two rifles afield? i know a lot of you carry a sidearm too. On some level I appreciate the focus of the hunt and the watching. Say I'm deer hunting...Why confuse the issue by having my .22 with me in case a couple of squirells runs out? It's a deer hunt. On the other hand...

    Off Season

    We are basiclly the off season crowd. That's how the folks at the WDFW make me feel anyway. I've been eager to find areas to hunt coyote. First I thought I'd look into the areas near me that are open to "regular" season hunting. Nope. I guess I didn't know the rule that "Wildlife" areas are...

    front sight

    My old .22 could benifit from a new front bead sight no matter what. It's a bead and short post that fits into the front sight in a tiny little hole. That's the factory sight but I was wondering if there are little fiber optic inserts that would work. I've seen something similar for more...

    Combo shooters?

    I was at a great gun shop the other day and saw some very neat antique shotguns that that had two differently chambered barrels side-by-side. I looked into it further online and discovered a number of "combo" firearms. I couldn't help but be a bit delighted at the .22/.410 combos. Seemed...

    Coyote hunters

    Do you hang onto your yotes? If you keep the hides or not what do you do with the dog? I figure any number of other scavengers would love the treat overnight. looking to get out for my first coyote hunt soon. They're year round out here and can't pass up the opportunity to be in the field...

    Before lasers

    What are the older methods of scaling range. Before the use of lasers how did people measure yardage through binoculars/range finders. Were older binoculars or range finders built in guages? I can't help but imagine the parascope in a sub with its tick marks. I'm interested in the...

    Construction orange

    It sure looks alot like blaze orange. Can you buy blazeorange die or spray paint? It'd be a lot cheaper to color clothes I already have.

    After my first coat

    ...I decided I didn't like the glossy finish. As I write the finish is dulling a little in the open air. I'm wondering if some really fine steel wool would buff the shine out when I'm done with one more coat. What do you think. It doesn't appear to be"high gloss". I'll play it by ear. THNX

    DueceDuece

    I don't really see the point of a long 22. i was shooting a CZ .22 today. Feels great, good balance, but kinda long. In comparison to the 10/22?...come on. Night and day. Sleek though. I liked that. I like that their rifles are sharp up and down the line but I think compact is the way to...

    GUNSMITH?..GUNSLOP!!!

    I finally recieved my Gpa's old bolt action .22. Nothing special but a cool old Ranger with a decent trigger. I had fun widdling the stock a bit to fit, added a little weight in the stock just for balance and began a refinishing. I took to a locally advertised gunsmith who gave a good price...
