Hey all. Scope options have got my head spinning. I'm looking to spend around $300 on a scope for punching paper and other targets out to 600-700 yards. What floats yr boat in that arena?

I'm looking for my first AR-15, and naturally don't know much about them yet. I've pounded the forums for a few days now and I'm catching on a bit. I figured I'd post to see what your opinions are of what I should get. I'd be using it for plinking and varmints out to no more than 200yds...

I've looked long and hard at the different short-midrange varmint cartridges and their wildcat counterparts. I'm sold on a 22 hornet for my next rifle. Now I need to decide what rifle I'd like to get it in. I'm thinking either a T/C Encore or a Savage...either the 40 or 25 walking varmint...

Those little buggers are reeking havok on the bank of my pond farthest away from my house 100-150 yrds away. Beyond that they disappear into the brush, and they won't come over to this side of the pond. My 10/22 just won't reach out that far accurately. I'm trying to decide between the 17hm2...

This will be my first experience air traveling w/ a firearm. I'd like to get an idea of how it works and what I should expect as far as check in and pick up. I have a concealed carry license in Ohio, and know I won't be able to use it where I'll be going. So i'll have to open carry or just...

Just got done shooting some reloads in 30-06. Loaded up 5 rounds and when i pulled the trigger on the 3rd one click...nothing happened. Cycled the action and checked out the round. It had a nice deep dimple from the firing pin; i shook it, and there's definitely powder in there. Why does...

Well, just about ready to shoot my new rifle for the first time. This is my first rifle other than a bang around sks so i wanted to check w/ you guys to see if there's anything else i should probably get for cleaning my rifle. Got the hoppe's one piece cleaning rod, the jag, the brush, the...

Just got my first rifle. My first scope is in the mail. How do i decide what ring height i need? Or do i just have to try a few out? The rifle is a marlin xl7 and the scope is a nikon buckmaster 3-9x40mm. Thanks

Just curious about what everyone's theory is on why and why not or when and when not to crimp a round. For some reason i don't understand why it would be beneficial when your sizing dies and case trimming should be making a uniform neck, and it takes a few real good whacks with a bullet puller...

Had this happen while seating some bullets the other day.

Is it possible to get a primer out of a case before it's fired? i've never tried and never read about it.

I just made my first reloads in .357 magnum. Took them out back to see how they grouped. Shot only one group of 6...TERRIBLE!!! At 10-15 yards had about and 8-10 inch group about 8 inches low on the target. I shot them from a Ruger Vaquero with a 4-5/8" barrel that groups well w/ factory ammo...

I've recently been given a remington 7600 in 30-06 that has a bit of rust inside the muzzle. I imagine that the rust probably goes the length of the barrel, and the gun is still operable, but the accuracy has gotta be horrible. I've got a rifle in 270 winchester already, so i don't really...

I was wondering if any of you know if coyote dens have a distinct smell? I've got a spot on my farm here in ohio that's pretty dense with briars and brush that just reaks of wet dog. I haven't seen any tracks in the area, but have found some scat in the area that looks like it belonged to a...

I recently reloaded some 7.62x39 cases. On the sides of about 20 of them were dents from being ejected from someone else's AK type rifle. The dents were right in the middle of the side, maybe only a milimeter deep, if that, and a few milimeters wide. Almost more of an imprint than a dent...

Does anyone know of a decent gunsmith, in the southwestern-cleveland area. I just need a shotgun reblued, and would rather have someone else do it well the first time, rather than me trying for the first time. Kind of a sentimental gun that i don't want to botch.

Someone at work asked me if i knew how to figure out what caliber a rifle is that has no caliber markings at all. He said he inheritted it and can't find anything to tell him what it will shoot. I was thinking it might be a custom rifle, but he was quick to say he didn't think that to be the...

I live in Ohio and i'd like to sell a pistol to someone at work. We both have to maintain clean backgrounds to keep our jobs, so neither of us have any kind of criminal record. The pistol is registered to me. What do i need to do to keep myself legally sound when i sell it to him?

Any reason not to get one? I'll be handloading one real soon for whitetail and woodchucks in the OH,PA,WV area unless i get some better caliber suggerstions.

How much should it cost to have a gunsmith re-blue a shotgun? I've got an Ithaca 37 Featherlight that needs some TLC. thanks
