My son brought up an interesting question concerning Scopes with MilDot reticules. His theory is that scopes with variable zoom levels, lets say 4-9 power cannot use MilDot reticules since changing the power will distort the reticule. He was looking for a good scope, but most were 6 to 12...

I always like to keep up on prices of my arms, but I'm having trouble with some terms. I have a beautiful Remington Model 7 with a sweet + $300 dollar scope. But, when looking in google, I see lots of Sythetic stock stuff, Mine is Walnut, and I also see CDL but have no idea what CDL stands...

I have a pretty high end pellet rifle that's used for pest control. It has a pretty nice scope mounted on the top of the barrel, and a Red laser mounted on the bottom. This combination allows for extremely accurate precise shot placement. All is zero'd for 10 yards. If its closer the red Dot...

Anybody want to start an entry on IMFDB for the History Channels' 3 part series on the Hatfield & Mccoy's show? There were shot guns, Long rifles, and Pistols that I could not identify. Looked to me like everybody had some sort of Remington strapped on his side except for the character "Bad...

I have a nice collection of handguns and shotguns as well as High powered rifles, but I think I need just one more Rifle.( the wife's heard that one before) So far I have a .22 Henry w/scope, a sweet Model 7 Remington in .308 and the trusty Mosins, an M44 and a 91/30 w/scope. of course...

I have a couple questions that one of you Shotgun gurus can answer in a sentence or two, I'm sure. First, the Beretta that I own is a sweet little thing with 26" barrels, my Scottish friends used to call it a "Walking Gun" since the short barrels made it quick to drop Hare's, Rabbits, grouse...

I don't know why, cuz I don't even have a CC permit, but I saw a .45LC/.410 derringer at a local Gunstore and I'm thinking about getting it. Of course as soon as I mentioned this to my "Shooter" son he said I wouldn't like it. His reasoning is that the small grip coupled with .45 LC is going...

Can Incendiary rounds be purchased on the open market? Someone I know wants to hit a full Propane tank with one. The guy has a wide open field with enough safety precautions I suppose it could be done, if one wants to see a "Big Boom:. KKKKFL

A work acquaintance recently alerted me to .45 ACP in steel and I'm wondering what the bennies versus the advantages might be. I know brass expands more than steel, walls might be thinner.. what else? I do not load my own, and usually go with American Eagle Brass which is +20 bucks for 50...

I'm looking to bail on the armpit of the country (D.C. Area - over the line in Va.) I'm looking at retirement after the new year and moving into or around the Summerville area... Maybe a little further over towards Myrtle beach.. So what will I have to do to get a CCW, and where are the Dark...

Stumbled onto "Aftermath" episode where William Shantner interviews Berni Goetz the Subway killer. I still can't make up my mind as to his response. Had I been mugged, I could very easily see how he responded and felt little or no remorse. The dirt bags he shot shouldn't see a dime, as far as...

Since I'm concerned about carrying while driving, I am leaning towards getting a good shoulder holster for my Walther P99. Seems like the least hassle having the weapon up under my left armpit. Any reccos, greatly appreciated. Sure seems like folks are swinging away from shoulder holsters...

I'm the proud owner of a P99, just picked it up over the weekend. Really nice, but one question. Why does the slide have the S&W logo on the slide near the Muzzle? Not that I mind, but is Smith and Wesson importing Walther hence their logo. There is Walther USA. so I don't get it...

I was watching the History Channel the other day, and they had that tired old shot of Saddam walking into some Govern'mt chamber with a pistol on his hip. Unfortunately, the shot wasn't in tight enough for me to make out the make/model, but I'm sure we have GunGeeks out here that know what it...

It's a slow Friday morning and the office mate in the other cubical asked this question. Between the following calibers .357Magnum, .45Long Colt, and .45ACP Which off the shelf bullet hits the hardest at 25 yards? Seems to me that there are other variables. For instance, I might shoot...

I thought I posted this but cannot find with the search button. As most know Virginia has an open carry policy, ie. handle completely visible and you can walk into your local 7/11. So my son asks me.. "Daddy, can you put your Snubbie .357 in that holser and still be legal while on our...

I have a question that's one of those "It depends" kinda things. First here's the facts: 1. I live in No. Virginia 2. Virginia has Open Carry 3. I have a nice EAA .357 and nice outside the belt holster 4. I have a boat 5. The Potomac water is owned by Maryland. So here's the question...

Son just turned 21 and purchased first Autoloader from Israeli Weapons Industries (IWI). The .45 Jericho (AKA Baby Eagle) feels good in my hands despite side by side config for 10 rounds, but loading all 10 is a thumb buster. I used a little Molypaste on the magazine walls, but it may have...

Just heard a story about a guy that travels between a South American country and the U.S. Seems he was on his way back home leaving a US airport and had a rifle in his luggage. Seems TSA folks didn't approve and he was hauled off to the hooscow.. at least that's the way the story was told to...

I know this topic has been discussed in the past, just wondering if anyone has come up with a good solution. Problem: The Uberti 1858 Remington cylinder pin fouls when using Pyrodex pellets after just 6 shots. Removing the pin becomes nearly impossible as the blowby of each shot forms a...
