I've always wanted a Bushmaster Varminter. Whenever I go to a gun store that was always the gun I try to find in the used guns and occasionally get to fondle the beauty. Now I realize that I know very little about the various makers and options available. So as this group has vastly more...

I just bought a Smith and Wesson 617 and being unfamiliar with revolvers, I thought I'd consult the online experts. How tight should the cylinder be when it's closed? Mine has some play and I'm concerned about how this might affect my shots. I've heard people mentioning their revolvers...

I'm anxiously counting the days till I can pick up my new 617. I live in California and am currently waiting through a LONG 10 days. After shooting it for a while I think I'm going to want to upgrade the sights. -Anyone done this or have any suggestions from experiences a similar upgrade...

So I've heard a lot of people talk about energy transfer being the most important thing and then others say it's tissue damage. One group says they don't want over penetration another says they want a bullet to pass through both sides. This is discussed both for self defense and hunting. Any...

I've heard a lot of talk about how the two calibers are NOT the same diameter and because of this they won't work with the same barrel. Then I see examples of combo revolvers. how does this work?

I'd really like to see some personalized 617's out there. grips, sights, finishes etc. could use some ideas. Please note where your purchased the parts and or received the service. LETS SEE SOME!

I will be getting one of these soon. Just don't know which caliber to get. .308 marlin, 35 or 30-30? 1. I will be reloading 2. Plan to use it for hunting pigs and deer as well as being a range fun-gun. Is there a great difference among the calibers listed? Thanks;)

So as some of you may have read I'm starting to get ready for hunting and had asked in the revolver section if .357 was sufficient for wild pig. Someone suggested using a revolver as backup and getting a rifle chambered in the same caliber as a primary. This way I can become more proficient...

I plan to start hunting in the near future and wild pig seem to be a good place to start. Unlimited, easy to do it legal etc. Plus I've heard there's a ton of em out here in california. Would .357 mag with heavy loads be a good choice? What web sites would go over the basics for shot...

I have narrowed it down to theses three: Ruger MK III Browning Buckmark Smith and wesson 617 For those of you that have shot some or all of these which would you choose if you had to limit yourself to one and why? It will mostly be used for target shooting/plinking Thanks

I want to buy this gun for target shooting and potentially hunting but I want to make sure that cramming 8 shots into the cylinder isn't going to make it dangerous to shoot high power loads with it. The cylinder walls must be pretty thin I guess. What have you shot through yours? Any...

So I was just about to get to the point of needing to buy one of these when I saw that they sell for $2200 on gunbroker.....used. Why doesn't H and K start making them again and sell em for $1000? From every account I've heard they are an excellent pistol. Anyone seen one for less? Looks...

Target shooting with my .17 HMR Sako Quad Varmint yesterday and was setting up spent shotgun shells. This is one of my favorite targets especially when filled with flour. The poof on impact is very satisfying. Anyway as I walked back to the firing line an even more interesting target...

Where's the best place to get them customized. Looking to make mine unique in a classy way. Also smooth out the trigger while maintaining a heavy pull. Pics will be much appreciated. :evil:

I recently got interested in really fast flat shooting varmint cartridges. Don't know much about these two cartridges. Main question is what can the .17 Remington do that the .204 can't:uhoh:? Is it any cheaper (factory and reload)? Faster? etc

I was very close to purchasing a Ruger MK 3 and then read about the S & W 617. Aside form about 200 difference in price, why should I go for the Ruger? From what I've read they are a pain :cuss: to clean. Most .22 LR ammo has a reasonable amount of FTF and jams. This is not to say the MK...

I saw an ad on the internet for a RCBS-RS reloading press for 30 bucks. Is this a good deal and if so what should i look for as far as wear is concerned, that i should stay away from. I figure from the pics' these things are built like tanks but any insight would be appreciated.

Watched some of this show last night. I was in TV heaven. A competitive marksman shot his pistol at a rate of 667 founds per minute. It looked like he was bump-firing the thing. Anyone else bump-fired their pistol? I would like to try but afraid I'd shoot myself

Anyone hear if/ when they'll come out with them?

I'm a not as educated about firearms as I would like to be. Can anyone go over the optional features of the M+P pistol line and what are their pros and cons? Thanks for your time
