    What exactly have I got here? Rupp rifle...

    This rifle is in extremely rough shape and I have done quite a bit of research but didn't come up with a whole ton of info. Only that it is apparently a Herman Rupp rifle (one of two well known brothers), it was given to me by my wife's grandfather. Any long rifle enthusiasts on THR know...

    Dual purpose shotgun - Turkey and upland

    I already own an 18.5" 870 for HD, and now I want to try at hunting a variety of birds. Being a college student I can't justify purchasing two shotguns. Is there any reason that a 28" 870 with a variety of choke tubes couldn't handle both turkey and a variety of upland birds? The reason I ask...

    Winchester Model 70 Youth Ranger

    Hi! I purchased (from a pawn shop) a Winchester Model 70 (.243) about 2 years ago for a coyote rifle and I just noticed it has "Youth Ranger" stamped on the barrel. I know the "ranger" designation means it has a cheaper wood/finish... but what is the difference between the youth and standard...

    Coyote hunting woes

    Me and a buddy recently decided to take up coyote hunting, we had previously only hunted rabbits. Neither of us grew up in a hunting family, him coming from Portland, OR and I from the Bay Area. We have the right gear, he uses a Browning lever action in 22-250, and I have a Winchester model 70...

    Coyote/Varmint Rifle

    I thought I had it figured out. Today I went to sportsmans warehouse, cash in hand, ready to purchase a stevens model 200... I had handled it before, and decided it was up for the job, but when I gave it another look today I felt like I was settling on a rifle that I wasn't real happy with. I...

    Rock River Arms Car-A4

    I'm seriously considering a RRA Car-A4 to be my "go-to" rifle. I want it to handle everything from casual target shooting, social purposes, and varmint (coyote and ground squirrel mostly). I know RRA makes a coyote ar, but I want an all around gun. Does the car-a4 fit the bill? Anyone have...

    Oregon Rabbit Hunting Questions!

    Going to go rabbit (jackrabbit) hunting for the first time this weekend. But have a couple questions... I have scoured the OR Fish and Wildlife website to no avail... all I know is that I don't need a liscense, and there is no closed season or limit on jacks. -I have read that jackrabbits...

    Help me choose a revolver for my father

    My dad has only owned one firearm in his life, I know that it was a S&W... thats it. He sold it upon the birth of my older brother. Fast forward... I have convinced him to purchase another firearm, he is set on a revolver, I only know autos. Of course it would be wise to tell you, he is the...

    SKS not fully ejecting

    Yugo SKS, Tapco T6 stock I find this problem somewhat troubling in that it will be fine for 4-5 shots, then the next 3 casings will almost eject and the bolt will close on them. (is this called stovepiping?) Could it be an issue with the ammo? The gas system? or could it be my form...

    Gun Cabinets

    Does anyone have an idea where I can find a simple metal gun cabinet? I can't afford a safe, not even close! I just want a simple sheet metal, locking gun cabinet to put in my closet. Haven't been able to find anything though... Maybe I just need to go to home depot, but I'd like one that...

    Aerosol Cans... Safe to plink?

    I remember shooting one probably 5 years ago with an air rifle, took about 15 shots to puncture, and the contains just rushed out real quick. Are these dangerous to shoot at? I've been tempted, but without really knowing what happens I didn't want to do it.

    Ideal size OC spray

    I'm going to be picking up some Fox Labs OC spray for myself, a female friend, my little sister, and my mother. I've been thinking alot that the 2oz is a little inconvinient to carry (and if you arent carrying then having 2oz's does no good). Then when I look at the little 11gram, the size is...

    Question Regarding "Transfer Dealers"

    Most (if not all?) websites that sell firearms require you to have a FFL from what I understand. GunsAmerica.com however mentions transfer dealers, though they don't really explain what it is. I assume you buy a firearm, it is shipping to the transfer dealer, and you go pick it up from them...

    First Shotgun, Remington Express 870 18"?

    Have been perusing for quite some time now... looked at the nova, moss. 500 and the 870 is my favorite of all the guns I have looked into. Was in Sportsmans Warehouse tonight with my brother and really fell in love with the 870 express 18"... I planned on using it for HD, targets, and clay...
