I went to the gun store today to pick out my deer rifle. I knew exactly what I wanted: a savage or CZ 30-06 with a walnut or laminate stock. They did not have this rifle. They did have a Savage 7MM mag w/ laminate stock. I wanted to get some opinions on this caliber, especially how it...

Good Afternoon, I’m in the market for a new rifle; I have a pretty good idea of what I want, now I need to find out who makes one. Caliber- 30-06 Springfield Stock- Laminate or walnut Barrel- Approximately 22 inches (blued or stainless does not matter) Place to attach sling Sights- set up for...

Evening, I thought I was ordering some Dovo stropping compound; turns out it was the white non abrasive kind. Anyways, I was wondering if there was a stropping compound which could be found at your average hardware store; or whether you can only find it online. My second question is whether...

Evening Gentlemen, I've lost my spyderco and need a new pocket knife. I've lost my taste for modern looking knives; I want something highly functional that is also aesthetically pleasing. Anyhow, I think I've settled on a Case trapper with the chrome and vanadium blades. I was wondering if...

Evening Gentlemen, It’s been awhile since I last posted; I’d like to hash out what makes a good knife. Blade steel: Stainless or carbon doesn’t really matter; if you use carbon steel you just need to be careful to keep a light coat of oil on the steel in wet environments. Modern stainless...

Practical Self Defense Theory: 1. Invest in quality proven hardware that fits your unique needs. Devote the rest of your time and energy developing skill, i.e. marksmanship, weapons handling and small arms tactics. 2. Pick an established martial art that suits your physical abilities: train...

Good Evening, it has been awhile since my last post, but I was hoping to get some advice regarding a driving through Canada. I’ll be heading back to Juneau in a few days, and have decided to drive my car up to Alaska. I’ll be driving straight through Canada and probably wont be more than 48hrs...

I was in the market for a traditional bowie knife and low and behold I found a Winchester model 94 commemorative on sale for $20, regularly $80 at big five. Laminate rosewood handle, stainless blade, brass rivets and hand guard. I told myself I would never buy a knife without knowing the exact...

I have two questions 1. How far are slug’s practical with bead sights, assuming you’re a decent shot and you’ve found the best 25 yard slugs for your gun. 2. What purpose does the second bead (1/3 down from muzzle) on some shotgun barrels serve? Does it offset having to aim low with a...

I was at the sporting goods store looking for some new camo-rain gear (which I found) and was pleasantly surprised to find out Hevi-shot was manufacturing 00 buck loads. Apparently there made from tungsten, nickel and iron; the box proclaimed they penetrated 20% farther than standard lead...

I apoligize if this is not gun-related, but I saw something that really warmed my heart. I'm down south for a spell, and as native alaskan's probaly know, it is near impossible to find a good cigar up north. Anyhow, I decided to indulge myself in some macanudo maduro's and a Carlos Torano. I...

Does your "Trunk Gun" need to be unloaded, or is it being locked in the trunk enough? I've always kept my trunk gun unloaded, but I'd prefer to keep it loaded. Anyone know the laws? I've read through the state firearm laws; it only specifies that if your under 18, guns need to be unloaded while...

When do ‘friendly’ warnings turn into statements, which could legally be considered threats? Case in point: A certain individual with a felony record and in possession of an illegal firearm could potentially be a threat to the life/property of a close family member. Because they’re a scrawny...

Just a quick question, How does sectional density relate to a cartridges ballistic coefficient? Thanks

I'm looking to get a second, shorter, barrel for my Mavarik 88 to use as a Brush gun/home defense. I've tried using the 28in barrel, but its an absolute nightmare trying to manuvere it through dense forest. I want to be able to use different chokes and mount some sort of rifle sights. This...

This article is a bit old, but I think it warrents some discussion. Blunt Trauma Concussion of Spinal Cord as Mechanism of Instantaneous Collapse Produced by Centerfire Rifle Bullet Wounds to the Torso Why does a felon (or a large game animal) instantly collapse after being shot in the...

I think I was just not thinking. I was looking for a new barrel for my maverick 88. All the ads say that the mossberg 500 barrels fit the six shot capacity maverik 88 shotguns. I thought mine was considered a 5 shot model because the magazine tube fit 5 shells. I assumed the ads would say 5+1...

Here is the situation: I use one shotgun, Mossberg 12 GA pump, for all my shotgun needs (social work, birds, small game, slug gun etc.) For short range work, I've been reasonably happy with just a bead sight. However, I would like to mount a red dot or fiber optic sights in order to be able to...

I was cleaning my Mossberg 702 plinkster and noticed a small (1/16 inch) fracture in the feed ramp. The gun still shoots fine and is quite accurate. I notice an occasional failure to eject when the gun goes over 500 rounds without a through cleaning. Other than that it has been problem free...

Okay I'm flying home to visit family for the Holidays. I'm bringing my guns with me, because on a matter of principle I don’t go anywhere without a firearm if I can avoid it. I have a hard sided locking case for the guns, but I'm not sure about the ammo. The airline web sight just said it had to...
