Back in the day I had an Insight M6 on my house gun. I'd like something similar but without having to spend $200+ on it. Are there any good light/laser combos retailing for <$150 that aren't "airsoft-tier" Thanks! atek3

Everyone has their favorite "Three rifle combination", a classic would be: 223, 30-06, 375 H&H Mag. If you were planning to do everything from Florida Hogs to Namibian Cape Buffalo, what would be your three "do it all" cartridges? For me: 6.5 Creedmoor- excellent performance on light and...

Midway has them on-sale for $99 and I wanted to see if anyone had built one. For those who haven't heard of it: http://www.polymer80.com/Pistol-Frame_ep_60.html It's an 80% lower that is compatible with Glock 17/19/34,22,24,35 slides. I'm eager to build one up, but I want to make sure it's...

About 7 years ago, I bought a second hand M&P 9c. Cerakote, Dawson fiber sights, crimson trace grip, match trigger job. I had a few light primer strikes which were bad. I took a defensive pistol class and had several "dead triggers." I would pull the trigger during a drill and get nothing. Not...

So I moved to CT and set up an NFA trust. I want a 22lr pistol with a can on it. My first thought was buy a screw-on that I can share between my 22lr pistol and rifles, but I learned more about CT law... no threaded barrels on handguns made after 1994. So that leaves either using a...

Ten years ago, the received wisdom was that trigger jobs on carry guns were bad juju from a legal standpoint. I.e. lawyers could seize upon that to argue that your gun was a 'finely tuned killing machine.' At the time I thought that was generally much ado about nothing, but has case law...

I want to put one of my handguns in my bedside table drawer. Ideally it should have a quick-release system such as a short combination of finger presses then pop up to reveal the gun, butt first. I bought a $199 hornady safe but it's far too big to fit. Anyone got any ideas?

Five long years of living in a hostile jurisdiction and I've finally moved back to a shall-issue state. I got my CT Pistol License, but I haven't used it yet. I have a few questions for locals: 1) Which CT gun forum has the most traffic? CTguntalk, CTshooting, or northeastshooters? 2)...

Any THR members nearby? Started the process on my CT permit. Will be joining CCRRC in Oct. Best Regards, atek3

I moved to CT, a shotgun-only state for deer, so I bought a 23" rifled barrel for my Remington 870 with the cantilever scope mount. Any recommendations on which rings to buy? I will probably use either a 1-4 or 2-7x low power variable. I'm trying to keep the total cost down so no Warne...

Installed a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x on my Tikka T3 using a DNZ one-piece. Sadly, the scope is low enough that the brass binds on the windage knob. I have an adjustable height cheek piece so I was probably going to put it a bit higher with a picatinny rail and 30mm rings. Question, which Pic...

Most handloaders try to pick the "most accurate load" for their rifle. Generally they vary the powder weight and assemble "testing ammo." I got a batch of test ammo from a custom handloader. The instructions read: "fire a 3 round group of each of the 4 test batches. Pick the most accurate...

I'm going to South Africa, and the land has thousands of plains game of numerous species. I know very little except what I've seen in pictures: Eland, Gemsbok, Springbok, Kudu, etc... Could some folks share their favorite plains game and perhaps a few reasons why? I definitely plan on...

The Safari, Kodiak, and Grey Wolf. What's the difference between them besides stock, finish, and presence or lack of sights? The Grey Wolf seems like an incredible value. Thanks weak Euro

Back in 2012 we had a pretty good thread discussing the optimal cartridge for Eland. 375 H&H and 338 WM were the undisputed champs. Supposing you were stuck with 7 Rem Mag, what would be your preferred factory load? Would a Hornady 162 gr SST Superformance get the job done at <150 yards...

I'm looking to get something with a lower power range for my Tikka T3 in 7RM. I have a good price on one, wanted to know if anyone can vouch for it. atek3

So I bought a Beretta A400 Xtreme Unico 12 ga to be a good 'all-around' shotgun. It came highly recommended from quite a few shooters I know well. I took it out for an afternoon of sporting clays on Saturday, shot around 125 rounds of Winchester AA light target. Really bad cheek slap. The...

I'd like to try varminting. My family lives in North West Iowa, so the best situation would be driving to some place in South Dakota. I found some places that look good but they are a good 8-10 hour drive from my family. Anyone know any decent places that are in the southeastern quarter of the...

Several years ago I bought a Rem 870 Police for 3gun heavy metal class. I took it turkey hunting twice and it was fine. I recently took up upland game, but I've always borrowed other peoples' scatterguns. I've also shot a bit of trap, again borrowing others' shotguns. I'm not a shotgun...

Most 6.5 Grendel bolt guns have used either a Mini Mauser or CZ 527 Carbine as the base. I'd like to have an ultralight repeater in 6.5 Grendel (mostly for deer). J&G has Zastava Mini Mausers in 7.62x39 ($400) and CZ has the 527 Carbine in 7.62x39 ($660). Both will create a serviceable rifle...
