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...

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 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...

I am an old fan of Smith&Wesson. My first handguns were a Model 66 and a Model 25 in .45 ACP, which I bought for myself over 30 years ago. I like the old style guns, especially the classic line. Now I am thinking of a snub nose and I really like the Bodyguards, not the new one with the laser...

Anybody out there use these sterling replacement stocks on a Remington 870? http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Replacement-Stocks-for-the-Remington-870-Shotgun-s/43.htm I put a Shurshot thumbhole stock on my slug gun, but I'd like a little more weight when I am shooting slugs. It's no fun to...

I have in mind a Remington Model 7 in .243 Winchester for several reasons. First as a back up hunting rifle. My main rifle is an old Savage 99 in .300 Savage. Back here in MD, you don't need much more than that for deer, the largest big game available, although there is some talk of...

1860 Henry, 1866 Yellow Boy, or 1873 Winchester, all made by Uberti. Yes, I have a hankering for these guns and may just start reloading 44-40 blackpowder rounds to feed it. Does anyone have these guns and how is the quality? Any problems with them? I know Uberti blackpowder percussion...

I have been thinking about this in 44-40 or 44 WCF. Not as a cowboy action gun, more out of love for lever actions and deer hunting. It sounds more authentic than 45 colt in a lever gun. But how do you like shooting it?

I remember when these first came out, was it back in the 80s? These were the original magnum autos, before the Desert Eagle came out. I would seriously consider getting one of these guns, but will have to wait for the money to come in. How do these compare to the originals and do we have anyone...

Getting an itch for a Dixie Gun Works Howdah Hunter. Has anyone used these for shooting trap or gunning for small game? I am thinking about two 20 ga. smoothbore barrels. If not for game, shooting pumpkins would also be fun. And is there an official THR Howdah Club?

I have some lead ingots and would like to test it for hardness. It is not pure lead, may be linotype or contains other alloys. Is there a tool to determine hardness? This was from my father's collection and most of his lead was labeled, but not this stuff. Are there any good books on this topic...

We are talking Shiloh Sharps here! Had some thoughts about a Lyman Ideal Sharps, but if you are going to spend $1500, why not spend a little more and get the real thing? Like $1800-1900 for a Business or Saddle Rifle? I have to admit, I am a bit of a traditonalist, interested in flintlocks...

Have you heard about Colt Manufacturing's offer of a commemerative SAA? What is the deal with Colt Manufacturing? I these just better put together Ubertis? Does Colt make guns anymore? Are these investment guns? http://www.coltsmfg.com/

I have been thinking about getting a sks and just wondered what are the advantages in the chinese or yugoslav variations? Are there any others out there, i.e. east german, romanian, etc. What is the best quality out there on the market today?

I am looking at the 93F or 93G to go with my Ruger Single Six. I like the Savage .22 and need the Magnum for maybe potting some bigger varmints. I got a .22 Mark II LV a few years ago, before the accu-trigger came out. After installing a Rifle Basix trigger, it is very nice. Anyone out there...

Took my new Uberti 1860 Army to the range last week. After shooting my normal loads, I loaded up a cylinder with 30 grains per chamber. I had two chambers fire at once. That was a first! The loud discharge certainly gained my attention. A couple more rounds and the ram rod retaining piece came...

I have been thinking about mortars and how to get into this exciting bp shooting. When I was a kid, one of my Dad's buddies had a civil war mortar he used to shoot orange juice cans filled up with cement. I never got to participate in this, but it always sounded like a lot of fun. Dixie Gun...

Has anyone had a chance to get one of these in their hot little hands? I need another firearm like a hole in the head, but it looks pretty good to me from reports and the Savage Arms site. I have a nice old Savage 99 in .300 Savage, complete with Stith mounts and a 2.5K Weaver scope. I am very...

between a Uberti Dragoon and the 1860 Army. I have an 1858 NMA Remington and think what I need is the big horse pistol belching 40 grains of black powder smoke. But then the 1860 has those classic lines and is such a smooth draw. Can you convince me either way?

Thinking about reloading and would like to use that Goex powder, is it called Goex Express? But just wondered if fffg was an option since I am not sure of availability in this area. I had some commercial made rounds, think they were from Klott somewhere in Missouri. I was really suprised by the...
