My SAR-1 was as good as any Brown Bess out there. 50 yard targets looked like I was using 00 buck and a shotgun. I also had a Bulgarian SSR-85C-2 and it was much better. Quite frankly I prefer the SKS to the AK. Much better brush gun. More accurate and I can better manage recoil as it is...

I owned one. Not very fond of it. It kicked like a mule and the cleaning rod would walk out while shooting it. You could not just remove the cleaning rod as it helps keep the front piece in place. When I did take it to the it was always the last rifle I shot. In it's original 7mm caliber it...

.270 should be an excellent round for deer around here. Since you are now using a rifle just make sure that you keep an eye on what is behind the deer. The reach will be significantly longer. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Are you using short hulled non brass shells? I recently had a problem on my trusty Remington 870 when shooting clays. Spent hulls sticking in the breech. I was shooting Winchester Super Target 12 gauge. After a bit of investigation I found that you need to keep the chamber really clean and...

On another site a few years ago a guy did a thread of a black bear e took in in Pennsylvania using the 203 grain SP round in his Mosin Nagant. 30-06 is essentially the same as the 7.62 x 54r /Russian round. Just 15 years younger.

Olympic is fine. Mine is 7 years old with thousands of rounds through it. Early Olympic models with the cast receivers did have problems. Their barrels do have a well justified reputation for accuracy. One ARFCOM recently a member posted about the brand new Colt he recently got. The...

I owned one for awhile in 308. That beast kicked like a mule. For whatever reason it seemed to be the hardest recoil of any milsurps that I owned. Even the hard hitting Turk 8mm ammunition didn't bother me as much. Plus the cleaning rod tended to walk out while firing. Removing it...

Bambi will cry himself to sleep tonight. :rolleyes: BTW, nice shot.

My 870 has recently started jamming with Diana and Winchester Super Target. Both are low wall steel based. Reading around I found that the chamber may need some polishing. So I took a cleaning brush, wrapped it with 0000 steel wool and had at it. The chamber is smooth as silk now. hopefully...

The Polish M44's are the cream of the crop and sell at a premium. In today's market I would imaging them going for $300 or more in some areas. Run of the mill M44's are usually over $200 now if you can find them. I have hear from a reliable source that there are still about 400,000 91/30's...

I have owned both. Both were reliable. If I needed to make one shot with either I would pick the Mini-14. As a hunting rifle it was more accurate than my Kel-Tec SU-16A. My very first shot with my Mini-14 was at a 4" target at 50 yards. I aimed at the six o,clock position of the target and...

Haven't you seen Stargate SG-1? It's the only weapon that is effective against Replicators. :rolleyes:

I own about 9 different variations of the Mosin Nagant rifles. One thing nobody has mentioned is how great the sights are for older eyes. The Mauser was designed for the 19 year old soldier with 20-20 vision. I also own several Mausers and they can just as easily suffer from sticky bolt...

I use either EEZOX or Slip 2000 EWL. EEZOX has worked great on both my AR and on my several milsurps. After cleaning my milsurps I always spray a bit down the bore. It keeps the rust away.

My father or grandfather had no guns that I was ever aware of. My father had no guns in the house at all. He was however a gun captain off a 16" gun on the battleship USS Washington (BB56). I guess after shooting a 16" 45 caliber gun all else pales in comparison. Must have been 20 0r 21...

I have a 995, a 995TS and a 459TS. The 995 is more accurate than the 995TS which is more accurate than the 4595TS which s more accurate than the 995. Great little carbines. Accurate, reliable and a no questions asked lifetime warranty. Buy a used on that is beat all to heck, send it in and...

My father-in-law (USMC 1939 1948) was involved in testing the Johnson rifle at one point. He really loved he rifle. As part of the competition he had to shoot a 1903 Springfield, a Johnson and a Garand. The trial was 10 rounds a speed and accuracy test. With his Springfield he could actually...

Another vote for a Remington 870 here. Shooting sporting clays is a great prep for hunting.

I shoot them mostly with my Wal-Mart special Remington 870 pump. It as an improved cylinder choke installed. I just enjoy using the pump action 870 and when I shoot with a group of guy you would be amazed how many of them want to try it out. I have gotten to shoot some pretty amazing, out of...

Well, back in the god old days, I purchased a few Turk Mausers for about $69 apiece. Then I got a bunch o Turk ammo in bandoleers of 70 of 70 rounds for $3.00 each. So today I can still shoot my Mausers for less than the cost of shooting a 22. The Russian milsurp rifles are the way to go...
