    Most fun gun

    I've heard of aggressive mushrooms but they're not indigenous to my area. We have the sneaky kind. Best way to find them is walk behind me. I can't pick a "most fun" but I promise I've got a .22 something with me every single time, no matter what kind of shooting I'm doing.

    Sierra reloading app

    Mine didn't auto-renew as it normally did and won't let me get it back either.

    How do you determine what scope goes on what rifle?

    Sometimes I spend too much time trying to find period correct scopes for old rifles. But still comes down to what I plan to do with the rifle. So then for me, it would depend on what the rifles are because I may not personally want any of those scopes on any of those rifles.

    Keep .280 Rem or sell for something else?

    The gains of 7mm-08 over .280Rem are basically short action vs long action. Nothing else. You have an 8lb rifle that's ready to go in a cartridge that is capable of handling anything you could hunt with the 7mm-08, 6.5, .270, etc...and handles heavier bullets better. To start all over and...

    Determining age and value of rifle?

    And don't sleep on that old Redfield scope. They routinely bring $150-ish depending on condition.

    Thinking about a RIA 22 AR style.

    Not sure. When I had the problem (mentioned earlier) with the buttons dragging causing the magazines to be unusable, someone handed me an AR22 mag from a conversion kit. It wouldn't work in my M&P as it didn't fit the mag well. S&W did offer to replace the magazines that were problematic but I...

    Green ops training

    I always revert back to the scene in "Roadhouse" where the big ol' guy in suspenders and trucker hat is running around the house looking for Dalton. Out of breath by the time he got in the house, hiding his head and gun behind the door frame but his gut sticking out 6 inches past. (He ended up...

    Chicago Sues Glock

    The city's administration hates the police as much as they hate the gun manufacturers. That was tried a few years ago (prior to the last election). The cities and the ACLU threw a big fit over it. Since the 3 strike rule was replaced with T-ball for criminals, there's no fear of consequences...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I've had a few of them, and only one was missing the rear sight. I didn't have an issue mounting a scope without removing the rear sight. I'll mount a scope on any .22 rifle I own if it's already drilled or dovetailed. I won't put extra holes in them though.

    Chicago Sues Glock

    It doesn't take much to figure out there's zero interest in fixing the crime problem. If there was, they'd go after the criminal element: those using converted guns, those making the converted guns and those illegally making parts to convert the guns. Those are small, broke fish compared to the...

    Thinking about a RIA 22 AR style.

    It's not hard. People don't get rid of guns (ot anything else) without a reason. An honest person will divulge the reason. "It sucks" was kinda generic... could be accuracy, reliability, feel, fit. Whatever. Most folks understand they're not likely to get a gem at a $200 price point but may be...

    Thinking about a RIA 22 AR style.

    It's $200. Buy it and if it sucks, somebody will come along and give you your money back. I got the M&P when they had a $75 rebate so ended up under $350. I have had some problems with the mags for the 15-22. The plastic gets distorted and the button that's supposed to make loading easier...

    Plinking / teaching optic for a 10/22

    What's wrong with new shooters learning on plain old iron sights? They would check all your boxes... A compact 2-7x scope could too, plus give the option of wading into a bit more precise shooting off the bench. The more types of shooting you can introduce someone to, the higher likelihood they...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    Well, that's not entirely cut and dried either. Different judge, same state. Same Supreme Court ruling cited. https://abc7chicago.com/gun-laws-second-amendment-supreme-court-bruen-decision/14066395/ But there have also been 2 instances in the last month or so in Kentucky where judges have...

    Is it legal for an estate sale auction house to sell guns?

    I'd rather have the paper trail than pay the exorbitant auction prices like folks around here pay. Not to derail this thread, but perhaps to piggy-back...and maybe @Old Dog can shed light? Auctions with guns around here draw Amish folk out of the woodwork. They pay insane prices to avoid the...

    Pre nato stamp LC 5.56 brass

    Why I stop at a lot of yard/garage sales. I've bought a bunch of stuff over the years that wasn't in the sale because I casually asked if I saw hunting or fishing related items. Quite a score!

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    Depends on if carrying an extra is considered changing. I do carry an extra quite frequently. On vacation, I typically have 4 mags for my primary carry and 4 for the backup. There's also an extra 50 rounds for each in the rear storage area.

    Is there really that much difference 115 or 124gr for the 9mm

    And I can tell him for certain that what they may do in one animal doesn't in any way guarantee they'll do the same in another animal. Even animals of the same species. Or you can tell him. Either way.
