The thread on scout rifle scope placement was interesting, but I thought it would be nice to have forum members posts pictures of their favorite rifle/scope combination rather than discuss what they didn't like about other combinations. Here is mine. Vintage Weaver K4 fixed 4 power scope on...

I have a Savage 99 in 250-300 that I am interested in selling, but I need to determine the value before I post it. Serial number is A981xxx. It has a 20" barrel, schnabel forend, straight stock, can't tell if the round counter is brass, but there is a round counter. The stock is nice...

I have a Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle with 16" barrel and laminated stock. Fantastic rifle, but I have been kicking myself for not getting the version with the synthetic stock. The laminated stock is nice, but pretty heavy for such a handi, compact little rifle. I know there was initially some...

Taurus used to make a stainless 22lr levergun, but I didn't see it in their current catalog. Does anybody offer a decent stainless 22lr lever action rifle or carbine? If not, why? My wife has a fixed sight stainless Ruger single six (Vaquero style single six) and my daughter has a stainless...

Has anyone found and/or tried reloading a 9mm hardcast flat-point bullet that fed reliably in a Hi Power or a Glock? If so, I'd love to hear who made the bullets, what weight they were, what your powder/charge was, and see some pics of your reloaded rounds. I'm a total newb to 9mm reloading...

I have a Sig P232 two-tone with the finger groove grips. I had been trying to sell it on this and other forums, but over the weekend I tried some Buffalo Bore 100gr hardcast lead ammo in the little 380 and I gained a new respect for the gun. I've decided to keep the Sig, but I dislike the...

I have a neighbor who was a champion palma shooter. He still shoots, but his eyesight and age have forced him to move to scoped rifles. He has two 308 rifles he used in some of his palma matches. One is a Remington Model 70 1876-1976 Palma match rifle that he shot one match with, and won...

I just loaded up a bunch of 45-70 400gr WFNGC rounds (bullets provided by forum member GAR - great bullets by the way). I typically reload using Remington cases, but I happened to have some Hornady cases from their LeverEvolution ammo laying around too. The Hornady cases are a lot shorter...

I just got a Glock 23, and love it. I also love hardcast flat-nose bullets, and I reload. I've heard and read a lot of hype about not shooting lead bullets in Glocks due to the polygonal rifling. Can anyone offer their experience with hardcast lead bullets in a Glock? I prefer heavier...

I started out my shoot experience in the seventies with 1911's, Ruger revolvers of the DA and SA variety, and later moved to S&W revolvers and Browning Hi Powers as a focus. I've shot S&W semi-autos a bunch, and the odd Walther, FN, Beretta and Sig. I seldom keep a gun if I loose interest in...

Has any manufacturer ever made a lever-action 45acp rifle or carbine? It seems doable, but I have never heard of one, but it seams like a good idea. 45acp single action revolver use the case rim to seat against, and the 30-30 is a rimless cartridge, so it seems possible to use a straight...

My brother is interested in selling or trading his AR15 upper, and asked me to see what it's rough value is. Its a complete AR-15 upper half in very good condition with a few minor cosmetic scuffs and about 600 rounds through it. I have shot his AR with all of this stuff on it, and it was...

I have a coworker who wants to sell a A.V. Marocchi 12 ga. O/U shotgun. It has "Mod. Sturdy Cal. 12 3" Imported by F.I.E." marked on the right side of the barrels, and has a silver colored, engraved receiver. I'd rate it at about 85% aesthetically, but there is some slop in the lock-up of...

My brothers just bought me a new Marlin 1895CB for my birthday. I have only been able to test it at 60 yards. At this range, it is averaging groups of 1.5" with Remington 405 grain factory ammo (I'm sure the rifle will do better if I sandbag it). I want to sight it at 100 yards, but was...

I was wondering about barrel length, and how much barrel is required to achieve maximum potential accuracy. It would seem that there would be a minimum barrel length given a paticular caliber/velocity/bullet weight/bullet length relationship, and any amount of barrel beyond that length would...

I picked up a like new Ruger Vaquero in 45 colt, with a 5.5" barrel, for $400.00 a few weeks ago. I already have a New Vaquero in the same caliber, with the same length barrel, but I couldn't resist the older version when I saw it. It shoot fairly well, but not as accurate as the NV. I want...

I have a FN Hi Power SFS in 40 cal.. I picked it up new, about a year and a half ago for $465.00. I am very pleased with the pistol. It is much more accurate than I am. I consistently place the first round of a fresh magazine into a 1" dead center mark at 15 yards. Unfortunately, the...
