I have a S&W Model 66 which I have been shooting and reloading for years. I like Accurate No. 9 for stout reloads, short of full house magnum loads. Full power loads can get unpleasant after a few cylinders. Lately, I have been thinking of getting a Blackhawk and I also have a 1894 Marlin in...

You can pick up a CZ 82 in 9x18 Makarov for about $250. I just got one and it is a very robust pistol with a double stack magazine of 12 rounds. Buffalo Bore makes some +P ammo and Russian and Chinese ammo is also available. A holster would probably be the best way to carry.

I used Brenneke slugs for hunting deer. They are very accurate out to 75 yards or so and really do a lot of damage. I used a Remington 870 for several years and had one Brenneke enter the deer's rear leg and travel up through the body, doing a lot of internal damage before coming to rest just...

You are going to pay some good money for a Sav 99 in .243 and that would be a shame to make it a truck gun. Maybe just get the Browning lever rifle and be done with it, if you want that cartridge.

Talk me into buying my new 30-06! I have an old Savage 99 in .300 Savage. There are two Garands sitting in the safe, so I have plenty of ammo and reloading gear on hand. My idea is to get a Savage weather warrior in 30-06. Those are great shooters and I would have no qualms about taking it out...

Check with the Savage Collectors on 24hourcampfire.com and they will tell you exactly what you have. The letter code above the lever is not the model number. Douglas Murray wrote a book on the Savage 99 which is a good reference.

I shoot a Weihrauch HW30S in .177 caliber. This is the same air gun as the Beeman R7. The distance of my telephone wire Starling shot was checked by laser rangefinder to be 26 yards this morning. And that does not include the elevation for the high wire shot. This bird shooting is a lot of fun...

I shot a Starling this morning with a .177 air rifle. It is a Weihrauch HW30s with a surprising amount of power. The thing was on a telephone wire at about 20 yds away. Just needed to give it a little elevation to account for the distance. It is fun shooting Starlings and English Sparrows. They...

I have been thinking about a CZ rimfire and they look like nice guns, very attractively built. But I do have a Savage MkII. It is a heavy barreled 22 lr with a laminated stock, which I bought pre-Accutrigger. I installed a Rifle Basix trigger and put a cheapo Bushnell scope on it and the thing...

A local dealer stocked the rifles for awhile, but now they are gone. This was a higher end shotgun shop, so I think they were not selling ARs and dropped them. You could get a nice Parker there or a nice hunting rifle. They don't get the assault rifle crowd in there often. That said, I like the...

I was lucky enough to pick up a Marlin 1894C in .357 Mag a few years ago. I put a scope on it and it is a great gun. It is just terrible what has happened to Marlin. You have to look for an old gun and no one is going to let go of something like that. I guess you have to look for an estate sale.

Do any of you 22 Hornet shooters use the Savage Model 25 Walking Varminter? I am thinking of getting one of those for shooting around here in the Free State. It sounds like it would fit the bill and Savage makes some very accurate rifles.

Hey, clem! Yes, there was a 4th Marine Division in WWII. And for the guy who was looking for a course to learn how to handle your AR, why don't you join up? They'll give you that training gratis along with a free rifle!;-) My Dad had an older katana he inherited. It was a couple hundred years...

I've been hearing great things about the Savage 220 and am thinking about making it my dedicated deer hunting gun. I have been using a Remington 870 with a rifled barrel and a Leupold cantilever scope mount. Most of my shots have been from about 30 to 70 yds. With the Savage, I think I could...

I see there are plenty of yotes in southern and central Ohio. How is it in northeastern Ohio, say Geauga and Portage counties? There is a lot of farms and open space up there. I know the local hunters want permission to hunt on my relatives 50 acres up there.

I was poking around the Ohio DNR website and it looks like there is some good coyote hunting in the Buckeye State! http://www.dnr.ohio.gov/wildlife/dow/Photos/PhotoDetailVertical.aspx?id=32396&page=1&count=12&Gallery=Hunting&SubGallery=Small%20Game&pos=7 Out there, you cannot hunt deer...

Did not know there was any big game in Hawaii. Really, feral pigs and goats don't really count!

There is no doubt that a .357 Magnum carbine such as the Marlin 1894C is a good deer cartridge out to 100 yds. This is often discussed in depth on the Marlin Owners site, complete with recommendations for the best boolits and powders. It is often said to rival the 30-30 at such short ranges. But...

I think the 30-30 has the edge over the 7.62x39 mainly because you can throw 170-180 grain bullets down range with it. That is quite a fancy bolt gun for 2 or 3 thousand bucks. Not sure I would go there when a featherweight or 700 could do the same trick. To each his own. As far as archery...
