    22 plinker suggestions

    Looking for suggestions on a 22 plinker fun gun to run suppressed. Ones in currently looking at: Walther P22, PPK/s 22, Sig P322. I'm sure there's plenty others out there I'm over looking. I can't say why, but I'm not particularly interested in something like a Ruger MK series. Not...

    B&T Rotex-X 5.56 suppressor

    I'm already planning out my next stamp and I'm thinking one of these might be pretty nice. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on it? https://www.eurooptic.com/B-T-ROTEX-X-556-Compact-Suppressor-SD-122983-US.aspx B&T has a pretty good reputation for their guns, what about their cans...

    Sig 365 to 365X question

    Recently picked up a 365 TacPac, and absolutely love the thing for carry. Grabbed a new holster (the factory supplied one isn't exactly great) and I've been carrying it ever since. One complaint about it (maybe more about me, than the gun itself) though. With the short grip and the 12rd...

    Tisas 10mm

    Stopped in the local shop and saw they had one of these: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2022/06/30/tisas-d10-1911-10mm/amp/ Had it marked $719. I had just run in on my lunch break to grab a gas tube for an AR build and had to play with it. Seemed really nicely put...

    Finally got my 1911 just right

    I've been carrying/shooting a Colt Wiley Clapp Light weight Commander for a few years now and while it's been functionally outstanding, it's always had a few quirks that bugged me. I didn't love the thin checkered grips, they rubbed me the wrong way carrying IWB. Also, the gi style thumb...

    Rifle cartridges you dislike for no real reason

    This is the inverse of @marksman13 thread on why you might like under performing, or obsolete cartridges. This thread, why do you dislike otherwise perfectly capable, otherwise popular cartridges? I'll kick it off with my two choices, which I'm sure will get someone riled up but let's try...

    Browning A-Bolt I opinions

    I've been keeping an eye out for a good deal on a new hunting rifle for awhile now. My requirements are: Accurate, reliable, lightweight. I came upon what looks to be an agreeable price on a AB1 package (scope, rings, and some other extras) in a cartdidge I'm interested in. If it was an...

    Shaking the dust off

    So I've been posting alot of questions and doing some soul searching regarding bolt action rifles over the past year. It's never been exactly my area of expertise. Mostly been a revolver guy, but with plenty of shotgun and lever action experience, being those were the main hunting tools where...

    Rem 700 rebarreling question

    Just kind of thinking out loud about a potential project that I fully realize will be no small amount of work for marginal gains. I'd really like a Rem 700 in 280AI, that's the end goal. I could do some horse trading and get into a 270 or 30-06 pretty easily to use as a donor action. That's...

    308 suppressor suggestions

    I might be in the market for my first suppressor. I'll have about $1k total budget. I'd like to suppress my 308win 22" bolt action, but a 18" 308win AR10 may be in my future as well. I may also acquire a 280AI hunting rifle, that I'd like to mount it on too. I know it won't be ideal, but...

    6.5 Creed v 260Rem

    I'm just musing, thinking up guns I'd like to build, projects I'd like to work on... I may be interested in rebarreling a SA Rem700. It's purely a hunting rifle and nothing bigger than a deer. I'm wondering if there's any practical difference between a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 260Rem (or 260AI)...

    Mid priced, high powered FFP opinions

    I'm still hunting for a scope for my informal target shooting rifle. Selling off some extra scopes I had laying around. I think I'm starting to narrow it down. I like the Arken SH4 6-24x, but it's got a 16 week backorder. I'm willing to roll the dice, but that's a longer wait than I'd like...

    Heritage Manufacturing 22 Revolving Carbine

    Has anybody seen this recently? I have zero use for one of these, but dang if it dosen't pique my interest.

    Scope suggestions

    Selling my old Primary Arms 4-14xFFP MILDOT scope and looking to upgrade from it. My max budget is about $500 It's going on a Savage 110 Varmint 223rem. It's mostly going to be a range toy, maybe occasionally going out for prairie dogs or coyote occasionally but mostly range time from...

    223Rem at 1000yrds

    I've got an arbitrary goal of ringing steel out to 1000yrds. I'm looking at buying a bolt action dedicated solely to that pursuit. No competitions or hunting. I'm looking at a Savage Varmint 223, it's a 1:9" twist 26" heavy barrel and I'm seeing people claim good results with 75-80gr bullets...

    Hunting optic suggestions

    I'm looking into upgrading the glass on a hunting rifle. Rifle is a very nice shooting 308win Remington 700. Uses will be all my mammalian hunting, coyote, javalina, antelope, mule deer, maybe elk one day, but unlikely. Plus ringing steel plates as far away as possible. My budget is around...

    Downloading the 300wm

    My quest for a new hunting rifle may have come to an end. I recently acquired a Browning AB3 in 300wm. It's decidedly more horsepower than I need for coyote, javalina and deer here in the southwest, but it's got a lot of features that I wanted in a hunting rifle and in a pretty nice package...

    98 Mauser rebarrel

    I've got an already sporterized Gew98 Mauser in 30-06. I might be interested in rebarreling it to a flatter shooting cartridge alá 280ai/270 or the like. I feel confidant and comfortable with the savage style barrel system, but this is something else all together and I doubt there's someone...

    Am I over thinking my hunting rifle?

    For the next few weeks, I'm still living in Ohio. I've been using my old trusty Rossi 92 16" 44mag to put venison in the freezer. It works great, super handy, light more than accurate enough considering the furthest shot I've taken was about 50yrds (put it right through the heart). But soon...

    New Bisley Convertible 45

    I've always liked the idea of the Ruger Blackhawk. A big strong dependable hog leg, what's not to love? With my first Blackhawk, a 6.5" 357 Plow handle, I realized I wasn't a big fan of all that weight for "just" a 357Mag. So that went down the road. My second Blackhawk, a 6.5" 41Mag, I felt...
