    Jicailla Cow Elk Hunt

    Hey Folks, I pulled a cow elk tag for the Jicarilla Reservation in NM over New Years. I have to use one of their guides and they gave me a big list of the approved guides. I wanted to narrow it down a bit if possible. Anyone have any recommendations for one of their guides? Thanks Rich

    870 Marine Mag, Bear gun

    I'm looking for an Alaskan backcountry bear gun, and am going with a 12 ga because although I have lots of experience with firearms in general and shotguns in particular, my companions on this trip don't.

    686+ or 627

    It is time for a 357. Price not being an issue, what do you all think of a 686+ with a 6-inch barrel vs. a 627 with a 5-inch barrel. I will be punching paper and cans for the most part. Thanks

    22 bolt with mil peeps?

    Hey All I'm looking for a good tack driving 22 bolt with a set of mil style peep sights on it. I know I probably can retro a rifle to put them on but would prefer something good out of he box. I would consider a semi or other action if it is accurate. Any ideas? ThankS!

    SF Bay Area, S&W gunsmith needed

    Hey All My 629 classic needs a good trigger job. The DA is way too heavy, the SA is way too light. Any good smiths in the SF Bay area, or am I better off sending my 629 to a smith somewhere else? Thanks

    Northern California Handgun Instruction

    Hey All I'm going to take up the advice of many at TFL and get some formal handgun training. What I know is self taught combined with formal training in rifles and shotguns as a boy (Boy Scout .22 ranges) with a few informal "tips" from others and lots of reading and than trying out what I...
