    midwestreloads.com SCAM

    Midwestreloads.com is a scam site. I went there because they had percussion caps that no one else seems to have in stock. They only take Paypal, Zelle, or Cashapp for payment. I looked them up and sure enough SCAM. Luckily I didn't fall for it. https://stopgunscams.com/midwestreloads-com...

    This doesn't look right?

    I see no "physical" problem in these loaded cartridges, the crimping and shorter case is not going to make much a difference in the safety of them. HOWEVER its what you cant see that can hurt you. You dont know who loaded them and how much or what powder theyre loaded with. Its easy to...

    Savage 24V series d refuses to break open

    Just a thought but could someone have chambered the wrong caliber round in it years ago and got it stuck. Its a 222 so a 223 or a 222 magnum should not chamber since the shoulders are further forward, BUT could someone have forced one in? Also someone may have chambered something wrong that...

    Small Explosion at the range

    I've thrown a few 22s into the campfire and then got away from it. The 22 shells would fly and whistle through the air and the bullet would stay there.

    Retirement: Shooting more, less, or the same as pre-retirement?

    Just semi retired, work 2-3 days a week. Shooting more and reloading more. Partly because I've moved back to my hometown where I've had a home for many years, its rural and I can shoot at a gravel pit just 6 miles from the house. Also have built 2 new rifles in my spare time.

    Swarovski Older scopes quality question?

    I really dont know as I havent really found out when the Z3 line hit the market. I do know that the Z3 is the lower lineup in the Swaro but I have heard that the glass is the same on all of them.

    Swarovski Older scopes quality question?

    I've acquired a couple of older Swarovski Z3 scopes manufactured in the 90's. So I was wondering if the quality of these would be the same quality of current mfg scopes?

    How important are exit wounds?

    I think its pretty simple............... An exit wound 1. Will cause more trauma than a shot without an exit wound..= Quicker death for the animal, wont go as far. 2. Will cause more or better chance at a better blood trail. = Better chance to find the animal, especially in dense cover.

    Gun Shows

    There was one at Springerville AZ at the American Legion over Memorial Day weekend that I usually go to. Thats about a 25 mile trip but I passed it up as a dose of the virus is not worth it at 65 yrs old. Besides I have several guns in my safe I havent shot for years.

    .22 Long Rifle

    My favorite rifle is a Winchester pump 62A that my dad gave my mom in 1949. One of my boys will get that, not sure how I’ll decide which one. Favorite tack driver 22 is my Ruger 77/22 with Leupold 4X. Favorite pistol is my Colt Woodsman

    Best lever action .22

    It was the one shown in this pic that reminded me of it. It was my stepgrandfathers and It dissappeared for years, then my Mom found in behind the headboard of her bed 20 yrs after my dad had passed away. She took it to a gunsmith friend of hers and he cleaned it up and gave it to me. It still...

    Best lever action .22

    I've had first hand experience with the following and I'd rate them as follows: 1. Winchester 94/22 2. Marlin 39 3. Mossberg (not sure what model but it was old 50s or 60s) unfortunately you would have to but used as these classics are things of the past

    How many of you grew up in a shooting/hunting family?

    I grew up in a shooting family but not hunting. My dad was a WW11 vet and medic and would take us shooting both pistol and rifle but he would never kill anything after he came back from the South Pacific after the war. I know he hunted before the war because Ive seen pics of him and my uncles...

    Hunting----Dog Pics

    That is a great happy and sad story. My brother backed over one of his dogs but it managed to survive, he was still heartbroken. I die just a little when one of my dogs goes, but always get another.
