I had no trouble with accuracy. This was my second time with the gun and I was hitting a 1gal milk container at 300 yards. I had no complaints.

The Wolf ammo isn't as bad as it used to be. And the extractor was able to get the shell out about 1/4", then the claw just stays in the groove. Tomorrow I'll push out - or try to push out - the casing and clean the chamber. Thanks so much for the advice! Man, would I have felt stupid sending...

Went out shooting my TC Contender (not G2) yesterday. I was shooting some of the old 62g Wolf 223 that I had since I got rid of my Mini14. While shooting it, a couple times I had troubles breaking open the action. It would open partway, then seem to stick. Since I recently bought this gun, used...

Now that's what I thought. I've had a number of expensive hobbies in my life and after a certain point, the law of diminishing returns is enforced. Small increments of improvement for vast sums of money. Cameras and lenses are prime examples. I'm thinking many guns might be the same thing.

I see that Springfield has a number of models and I've read the specs on all of them. That isn't my question. How much more accurate are the match grade than the standards? Do they use 'better' parts - in terms of service life or fit/finish? There's a wide divergence in price, I see that. But if...

Hey Walkalong, where'd you get the 308? I bought one 25 years or so ago while I was stationed in Germany - only in 300WM. My god, it was a beast to shoot. I think I put about 20 rounds total through it and sold it. While I wasn't sorry to see the 300wm go, I was terribly sorry I sold such a...

Hey Badkharma, I thought we in the fine state of California couldn't get the Tac Sol barrels. I think I asked this question on a rimfire forum last year and was told no. (And that's one of the reasons I can't wait to move to Oregon next year!) Have things changed?

I was staying in NYC (Manhatten) for about six weeks one time. As I was walking the six blocks from my favorite night spot to the hotel, I came upon a group of younger guys playing basketball. They were across the street and about 100yards ahead of me. In between me and them was a firehouse with...

Never had a ND - but, I was out at a friends property with some other friends and had a new double barrel coach gun. One barrel had a bad hammer detent and while I had it pointed in a safe direction, one of the less, um, intelligent amongst us walked right in front of me after I had the hammers...

A lot of good ideas have been expressed here. Not sure if you said, but I didn't see how old nor how strong your pops is. I did see he wasn't terribly experienced. I'd have to go with a 1911. You can pick up a decent example for the money you suggest. A 45 is really hard to beat. There's good...

Thousands of rounds of WWB through my Kimbers and Les Baers and except for a couple of FTF's - which were probably my fault - not one single problem. Yep, a bit dirtier than others (although brands like Magtech are WAY worse), nothing a couple pulls of a boresnake can't solve. Got a few hundred...

I've had a couple Kimbers and a Les Baer. The Les was one incredible gun! As far as I'm concerned - and there's legions out there who agree - the 1911 is one of the finest handgun designs out there. Antique? Hardly! Ask those in the service forced to shoot the 9mm if they'd rather have the .45...

Saw it all the time when I lived in the SF Bay Area. There, it seems that it's the make/model that matter more than ability - just like with most items in that area. All about show. Here in the north state, I still see it, the smugness. I went to buy a new SW M&P the other day and mentioned my...

Colt Pythons. I bought one recently after looking and missing for 2 years. One gentlemen sold his right before I got there to buy it. You can buy them all day outside the state for under a grand. You can't buy one within the state for under a grand. Mine has 15k rounds through it and I paid...
