    Kahr P380 or S&W Bodyguard 380?

    I carry a Kahr PM9 as my CCW but there are times when even that rather diminutive pistol is too large, so I am thinking of getting a 380 for those times that I need something really small. I have narrowed the choices to the Kahr P380 and the SW Bodyguard 380. I really like the price of the...

    Does Anyone Else Do the Work That Restoration Firearms Did?

    I was curious this morning about purchasing a custom Hawken rifle someday and came across the site of Restoration Firearms. What beautiful work Greg did! I like the fact that he made custom rifles as well as doing 'restorations' of modern Hawkens. I was sorry to hear of his passing. Can you...

    Triple Seven FFFG for a .54 Hawken?

    I asked a sporting goods salesman for the Triple Seven powder I would need for my .54 Hawken and noticed tonight after getting home that it is the FFFG granulation rather than the FFG. From what I have read, I need FFG for the .54 caliber. Is this a hard fact, and should I return this FFFG...

    Leupold 14x Scope - Will Parallax Be a Problem?

    I am considering a purchase of the Leupold VX-3 4.5-14 CDS scope. It does not have any way of adjusting for parallax. Will this be an issue when using 14x for longer range shooting on this scope? Thanks.

    Accuracy of CZ 452 w/ Mannlicher Stock?

    Anyone out there with the Mannlicher model CZ 452? I am interested in either the 22 lr or the 22 magnum. This may be a silly question, but would the shorter barrel of the Mannlicher model CZ 452 offer less accuracy than the 22-inch barrel version without the Mannlicher stock? How much velocity...

    Does anyone know of a scent-free spray-on mosquito repellent for use while spot-and-stalk hunting, something that will not be detected by deer should the wind direction change in their favor? Thanks.

    Where to mount a red dot or Holosight on an M1 carbine?

    I am going to get either a Bushnell Holosight or a red dot sight for my Kahr M1 carbine and am wondering if it should be placed on a scope mount over the receiver or attached 'scout mount' style over the forearm. It will be used for plinking, self defense and for blacktail deer hunting at 'brush...
