I am noticing a bad trend. I stop in at Bass Pro a couple of times a week to look and see what they have in the used firearms area and then I walk by the ammo section. Tonight I walked by their ammo/reloading section and noticed CCI small rifle primers...$129.99 per 1,000. Two months ago they...

I haven't even got to handle one yet, but I can tell you "I'm out"...at least in the short term. I was in a shop today and asked if they had had any come through. I was told that two had come through and sold instantly. He also told me that he would wait because they were bringing $1,200. I told...

I have a CZ 527 Carbine in .223 REM. I was going to pick up a Leopold VX-Freedom 2-7x33 scope but they are currently unavailable at Amazon. I am not a big Amazon fan but I have about $85 in Discover rewards that somehow got linked to Amaxon that I want to use. I wanted this scope because of the...

There really is nothing better than starting off the work week in the hole, but that seems to be SOP for me. Years ago my mom bought a Charter Arms Off Duty revolver probably of '80s vintage marked Stratford, CT. It basically set in her nightstand for all of those years never being used. My mom...

I have a faint recollection of asking this question somewhere before, but if I did I don't remember where or any of the answers, so, here I go... I have been thinking of trying to get into a Form 1 suppressor because I have no interest in waiting a year to get a stamp. The world will be...

I'm new to shooting rifles and really don't know what I'm doing but I'm having a little fun...along with getting somewhat frustrated at times. Anyway, my question is this...When checking a new rifle for accuracy, how do you go about it? Do you put it in a rest? Do you have it on a bipod while...

I found a Burris E1 6.5x20-50mm scope today on clearance for $175 but I didn't buy it because I keep reading that their customer service is not good these days. I need a scope for a Savage .22lr and I thought this would be a good one to try and shoot at 100 yards.

This past weekend I changed the Ruger factory tapered barrel out for a Feddersen 18" bull barrel. I was excited to get to the range today to see how much better it was going to be, but left pretty disappointed. I started out at 25 yards to get it dialed in and was really starting to get...

I walked into Bass Pro this evening to look at a scope, but never made it there. In the used gun rack outside of the Fine Gun Room the FGR attendant had just put out a Remington 572 Fieldmaster. It was priced at $249.99, so, figuring that was probably an okay deal I loaded up the credit card...

It may be worth your time to check your local Academy Sports. I just bought a Vortex Sparc AR there on clearance for $98.XX + tax. Their clearance items were 50% off the listed clearance price. I didn't really need it but I hate to walk away from a really good deal.

I would like to try my hand at shooting small groups at 100 yards with .22lr. The scope on my rifle at the moment is a Vortex 2-7x rimfire which works out great at 50 yards but not so much at 100 with my old eyes. I really can't spend the money for a new scope right now but I do have a Vortex...

I wasn't going to do this, but I sold a gun last week and have a little cash to burn, so, I am thinking about a bull barrel. I have been reading a LOT about aftermarket barrels and I'm getting the feeling that if you ask ten different people their opinions you'll get eleven different answers. I...

I have really been enjoying shooting my Ruger 10/22 before and after putting it in the Magpul X-22 Hunter stock. Shooting .22s just seems to be more fun for me anymore...less recoil, lower cost, etc. I don't have any issues with continuing to enjoy the 10/22 but for grins and giggles I'll throw...

I have just started getting into shooting rifles, mostly because I started going to a range that has room out to 100 yards. I have shot my AR with a red dot at defensive distances and a CZ Carbine with open sights but wanted to shoot something that was scoped so I could see what I was doing. The...

I just picked up an ODG Magpul X-22 Hunter stock for my 10/22 and have a question about the barrel shim: For those of you that use this stock, what kind of pressure are you putting that barrel shim against the barrel with? I adjustusted mine to where it is just up against the barrel. I haven't...

I have a 10/22 TD I bought years ago when they first came out. I just thought it was a cool design but I am not sure that it fits a need for me. Who knows, maybe I'll need a .22 rifle in a smaller package one day but maybe not. I have a regular 10/22 carbine in a wood stock with a Vortex scope...

A couple of months ago I bought a CZ 527 Carbine in .223 REM. I finally went out to shoot it yesterday and I'm not impressed with the rifle or myself. Not impressed with the rifle because of this... I loaded 5 in the magazine and when I went to chamber a round I almost had to force the bolt...

I've been going to Bass Pro often to try and find some Aguila Super Colibris and I always make a loop through the Fine Gun Room while I'm there. Friday I found a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .357 with some nice stag grips on it for $349. This afternoon I walked through and found this Smith &...

Tonight I picked up a Ruger New Model Blackhawk with a 4 5/8" barrel in .357 Magnum with Stag grips. I got it at Bass Pro for $349+tax. I've never been a single action guy but that seemed like reasonable price for a gun in decent shape. Maybe I'll get to shoot it if ammo gets to be more available.

I was in Bass Pro today and the shelves were stacked high with ammo...but at prices higher than I am willing to pay. A case of .223 for $700, cheap 9mm FMJ for $28/box of 50, cheap 45acp ball for $33/box of 50. Another store had PPU SWC .38 Special for $33/box of 50. I suppose if this is the new...
