I am looking for another hunting rifle cartridge. Something that is readily available, will shoot flat to 300 meters, and take game from varmint to whitetail deer. Some cartridges seem to have a lot of potential, if you reload them yourself. What I am looking for is something that comes in...

I will be picking up a new .22 rifle in about a week. There are a couple stores around that will order the rifle I want. Although, they do require at least 1/2 up front. The rest on delivery. This means that I am committing myself to the purchase of a firearm unseen and unhandled. I...

Which manufacturers currently produces an adult sized single shot 22 rifle. I have seen many youth models, but they are too small.

I have a Marlin 336W with the factory sling stud/swivel/sling installed. What I want to do is remove this and replace it with a 'Super Sling.' The problem is that I cannot get the front stud to move. Marlin says that it will just unscrew. I can't get it to move using my hands, and thought...

I have a co-worker who is looking to purchase a new single shot shotgun. What options are out there. After looking around, I can't find too many makers out there offering single shots. He is looking for a fairly inexpensive, under 300. thanks

I found a M1907 style sling at a local gun shop. Its made by Outdoor connections and is the Super Sling 2+. Seems to be a nylon webbing sling in the style of a M1907, does anyone have experience with this sling? I was thinking about getting one and putting in on my Marlin 336. Thanks

I picked up a new Marlin 336W in 30/30 win yesterday. It came with a sling and plain old iron sights. Shoots straight and I love it, but i am thinking about getting a few items to make it a bit better. These include: a soft case for travel/storage, apeture sights, and a better sling probably...

I will be picking up a new rifle at the end of next month. The question is which one. I have my eyes on a Marlin 336 in 30/30. Well, actually I have my eyes on a few types in different calibers. My intentions are to use iron sight, and to limit my shooting to under 200 yards (my visual limit...

Went to the range on Saturday, there was a guy there with about 6 firearms when i arrived. We exchanged greetings and he proceeded to ask about my firearms, i endulged him, then he proceeded to give me a guided tour of what he was shooting. I had my wife with me, and I must say she enjoyed...

The range I frequent has several ranges, rifle, ccw class, handgun only tgt practice, and one for open shooting. Set up your tgt at any distance up to 50 yds (or so) and fire away. Good for bowling pins and the assorted likes. I set up tgts at varying distances from 7 yds to 50 and have...

Just wanted to get a feeler for how well Remington UMC hollowpoints would work for HD. I like to pick up ammo at least 100 at a time, and the local store has a decent deal on these, only a few bucks more than FMJ's. They shoot well in my xd40, haven't had any ftf's or fte's. I would like to...

Although it will be a future purchase, I have at least one or two in line before, I am considering a 5.56mm purchase. Something that takes AR mags (i have plenty.) And while I am very comfortable with the M-4/M-16's and their variants, I have also taken a liking to the new Sig 556 and the...

I have read a few posts that made statements to the effect that chrome doesn't rust (my paraphrase.) Is it that chrome is rust-proof, or that it just takes alot more to rust. Is there a iron content to chrome, i am assuming that without iron you dont get any iron-oxide. I could be wrong, just...

Does anyone other than Kimber make a 22 conversion kit for their 1911's?

I just got back from Walmart, in El Paso TX. What happened there disturbed me. I went to Sporting Goods, picked up 2 boxes of ammo, and paid for it. A couple associates were discussing that stores new policy on ammunition. I am a quick reader and caught a line and what it said. Then I asked...

Is a 5" barrel too large for conceled carry? Thinking of taking the ccw class here in texas, and wondering if I would need something smaller than the xd40 with the 5" barrel. I realize its a matter of comfort, concealability, and other individual dynamics, that said...do many people carry...

Marlin 336, 30-30 / CZ 550 Lux 6.5x55 / Remington 798 (caliber ??) Trying to narrow down my selections for my next firearm purchase. Limitations are rifle for general shooting purposes, to include deer hunting, teaching the wife about rifle fundamentals (she has already been given a block of...

I called springfield armory customer service today. Within 1 minute I was on the phone with a real live person. They re-assured me that my xd 40 has the melonite coating. Then, I asked her what the chances of getting a left handed holster would be, she took my name and address and is sending...

I need a recoil pad for my wifes single shot 20 guage. I can absorb the kick well enough, but it bruises up her arm when we shoot. I have mitigated the injury by explaining that pulling it into her shoulder helps, but still, She needs a pad for it. Anyone know where i can get a decent recoil...

I'm thinking about getting a trigger job done on my xd40. Any reason not to go with the Springfield factory job? I have read good things about canyon creek custom, and for overtravel/pretravel/trigger adjustment they are a bit cheaper. Any other companies that do good work on xd40. Still...
