I have a Winchester 94 Trapper and I love this gun. I've read that it's not possible to cycle a Win 94 upside down. I tried this the other day and the round did not feed properly when the rifle was held upside down. I was wondering if this was the case with Marlin lever actions. Can they...

What's a good recoil pad for a Winchester 94 Trapper carbine. I have one in .44 mag that is tame with the .44 sp loads, but a bit sharp with .44 mag loads. Is a recoil pad something that needs to be fitted to the stock or can I get a prefit pad and screw it on? Thanks.

I'm not sure whether to put this in the handgun or long gun section, since I have a question about shooting a handgun cartridge from a long gun... I have a Winchester 94 Carbine (16" barrel) in .44 mag. I normally shoot .44 special and the occasional 44 mag loads in this gun. I recently...

Hi All, I have a Ruger New Model Bearcat revolver in .22LR. It's a handy and great little gun. When I first got the gun, the cylinder chambers were not aligned with the barrel and it shaved lead like crazy. At the advice of this forum, I sent the gun back to Ruger and they repaired it...

Hi All, I went to my local range yesterday and brought my rimfire rifle and revolver. First I shot my CZ 452FS (22LR bolt action with iron sights and a Mannlicher style stock). I shot at 50 yards and 100 yards. I shot cheapie Remington Ammo (from Wal Mart) and CCI minimags. at 50 and 100...

Hi All, I have a Kimber 1911 that I bought used. The previous owner installed an ambi safety. I would like to switch out the existing ambi safety for an Ed Brown non-ambi safety. I've looked at some online resources (M1911.org / brownells, a gunsmithing book by Patrick Sweeney, and...

Hi All, My wife and her friend recently tried shooting some clay targets. We used my Browning Cynergy 12 ga shotgun. Also, a friend of ours was kind enough to let us try his Remington 1100 Sporting 20. After shooting both guns at several targets, my wife and her friend expressed a distinct...

Hi All, I'm thinking about starting to reload 12 ga shotgun shells. I have some experience reloading handgun ammo, but haven't done any shotgun shell reloading yet. I'm wondering if I can save a lot of money by reloading shotgun shells. I save a lot of $$$ reloading handgun ammo...

Hi All, My wife has agreed to try skeet shooting this year. Currently, I own a Browning Cynergy 12 gauge O/U shotgun that I really like. However, I am concerned that my current shotgun might be too heavy and kick too much. My wife is kinda strong (was a three letter athelete in college)...

Hi All, I have a Browning Cynergy over/under shotgun with a wood stock and forend. It's my only shotgun, and I really love this gun. I use it for clay sports. I haven't really shot this gun yet during the rain (other than during a light mist). However, I am tempted to shoot regardless...

Hi All, I'm fairly new to rifle shooting. Up till recently, I've mostly shot rimfire rifles, carbines, and shotguns (clay sports). I recently bought a Remington 700 in .223 and with some help from THR, I was able to successfully mount a Leupold scope on the rifle and sight the scope in at...

Hi There, I ordered a set of Leupold 2-piece QRW Scope mounts (weaver style) for a Remington 700 rifle. http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting/products/mounting-systems-and-accessories/mounting-systems/qrw-mounts/ I'm new to bolt actions and optics and had a quick (and probably...

Hey There, I'm interested in mounting a scope to a Remington 700 bolt action rifle. I'm thinking about getting either a Leupold or Burris scope. I'm trying to figure out what kind of scope rings and mounting base to get. Does anyone have any experience with Leupold's PRW cross-mount...

Any Remington SPS Tactical owners out there with the .223 caliber gun? If so, what's the twist rate on your gun - is it 1 in 9"? http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/premier_dealer_exclusives/model_700_SPS.asp Thanks!

Hi All, I handled a Ruger Alaskan Hawkeye rifle (http://www.ruger.com/hawkeye375/index.html) at a local shop this past week and I really liked it. I especially liked ththe Hogue stock and the iron sights that were on this gun. I am thinking about buying a Ruger M77 or Remington 700 Bolt...

Hi All, I have a Ruger Bearcat .22 that I bought brand new. I've put maybe 350 to 500 rounds through it. I've shot mostly copper coated (Remington cheap bulk pack, CCI stingers, etc.) rounds, but I've also shot some Winchester Target and CCI lead rounds through it. I cleaned the gun this...

Hi All, I'm thinking about getting an OWB holster for my S&W model 60 J-frame revolver. I posted this on the S&W Forums and over on glocktalk, but didn't get much feedback. I'm interested in a Blackhawk Speed Classic Holster and would like to know if anyone here has used this holster and...

Hi All, I've recently gotten rid of my compact semi auto in favor of the J-frame revolver. I have been using HKS 5-shot speedloaders to load my J-frames quickly. I like the HKS loaders, but sometimes I get them stuck against the rubber Bantam Boot grips that I have installed on my gun...

Hi All, I'm new to reloading and using a Lee Handpress with the Lee Deluxe 4 die set to load handgun rounds (.44sp / .38sp) for my revolvers and my levergun. So far, with the exception of a couple of rounds which had the bullet pushed into the case, my loads have worked well and have been...

Hi All, I'm a newbie when it comes to reloading and I have some questions about powder measuring and dispensing. As I mentioned in a previous post on this forum, I have a Lee Handpress and I'm loading up rounds for .44 special and for .38 special handguns. I have Lee and Speer reloading...
