    Winchester 70 Featherweight vs Deluxe?

    I'm going to buy a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 300 WSM to round out my hunting rifle collection. I'm only interested in a new FN built one. I had wanted a Featherweight Deluxe, but I see on the Winchester web site they aren't making them now. The only difference I could see between the...

    Anybody have Altamont black/silver grips on a Blackhawk?

    I've got a Ruger Bisley in 45 Colt. Stainless with 5.5" barrel and the rollmarked unfluted cylinder. It came from the factory with black and gray laminate grips with the Ruger medallions, but I want something grippier for heavy hunting loads(grippier grips? Ha ha!). I really like the checkered...

    Anyone have experience with 6.5mm Woodleigh 160's?

    Looking for a 160 grainer to shoot in my .260 Remington. Just interested in terminal performance of the Woodleigh 160, it's got the highest BC of any of the heavies, all the rest are round noses. Anybody shot anything with one? Looking specifically to see if it's super soft in construction...

    Anyone have a Vortex Diamonback 4-12x40AO? Would you recommend one?

    Just ordered a new Savage 16 in 260 Remington, now I have to scope it. Max price is $300, and the Vortex 4-12x40 seems to be the best in that price range for features. I like their BDC reticle, and I really appreciate the parallax adjustment. Is there anyone out there with one, and would you...

    What finish is on the 870 Tactical? Parkerized?

    Hey all. Thinking about trading my Mossberg 590A1 for an 870 Express Tactical, just for something different. I've got three different versions of the Mossberg 500/590's, so I could use some variety. Having carried both weapons for extended amounts of time I'm very familiar with them and the...

    Can I get some OAL help with 9mm 115 grain SWC?

    I cant seem to figure out what an appropriate COAL is for the 115 grain SWC's I'm loading would be. I don't have a 115 grain RN on hand to compare differences in bullet length. The length of the bullet is 0.505" I'm using Unique, and just using slightly under what the book listed powder...

    Brand recommendations for single stage press?

    I am eager to getting into reloading, and I've saved my pennies! About ready to buy a single stage press for the purpose of reloading high accuracy .308 (and eventually .260 Remington when I get comfortable enough with the process, and have my 700 rebarreled) ammo for long range precision...

    Did I get a good deal?!?! You bet I did.

    Traded a guy at work my old Marlin 1895CB for an M1 Garand!! :what: Springfield Armory, serial number places manufacture in November 1942. Shoots fine, the trigger and hammer assembly are not original, but all else is. The stock has been lacquered, and there's a repaired crack in it, but...

    New 686 5" inaccurate?

    I am now the proud owner of a brand new S&W 686. I found it at the Fort Worth Gun Show exactly the way I wanted it: -7 round capacity -5" (that's right, 5!!) barrel -unfluted cylinder!!! The problem is that it shoots low, even with the adjustable sights dialed all the way up. It did...

    What is up with American quality control?!?!?!? *RANT*

    This is not to start a flame war, but I have serious problems with American built handguns! :banghead: I now own three that were built here in the good old US of A, and all three had problems right from the start. First one was my Ruger Vaquero, the base pin was apparently too short, so...

    Sight in help with Trijicon TA31DOC

    I've got a TA31DOC mounted on my flat top M4, and I'm wondering if there's a consensus on what the best distance is to zero the Docter Optic. I've got it at 25 yards now, and that's fine I guess, but it's unusable at 100 yards. Is there another distance I can set it up for that would have...

    What 1911 magazines are these?

    I'm looking for 8 round 1911 magazines with the extended floorplate as shown in this picture from Kimber's site. I would assume the one in the pic to be the Kimpro Tac Mag, but the Kimber site shows them to be sold out. Obviously, reliablilty is my first concern for a magazine, and I really...

    USP Compact 45 accuracy/recoil vs. 40S&W?

    I'm wanting to hear from those with experience about the difference in accuracy of a USP Compact in a 40 vs. 45. The thing is that I have a Compact in 40, and truth be told I just don't shoot it well. I like everything about this superb pistol, except that it just isn't as accurate as my...

    Ruger Vaquero: .45 LC or .357 Mag?

    Alright everyone, came to the revolver people for help. I have a post up in the buy and sell section about wanting to find a Vaquero, and I've found what I'm looking for, but now I'm having second thoughts about caliber. Anyway, on to my question, I can either buy an old Vaquero (pre-2005)...
