This mystery magazine has an opening on the bottom and the top. Maybe it is technically a clip? Has no markings other than 308 and .243 Anyone know what rifle it fits?

I don't have any experience with scopes so I need some advice. I'd like to build this rifle for around $800 including the sling. Savage 114. .30-06 $499 Nikon Primos 3-9x40. $179 This combo seemed to be a good match in philosophy. I'm aiming for a high quality outfit with focus on...

Using the LNL AP on some .38special, loading some 158gr lead truncated cone bevel base bullets from Penn. Using a new set of Hornady New Dimension dies. The seating/crimp die will stick to the bullet and on the downstroke the guide part of the die will fall out of the die still attached to...

What are the differences (other than weight) or reasons to choose between two different bullet weights. For example 200 grain vs 230 grain 45acp. What leads you to choose one over the other? How is performance different? Recoil? Point of impact? I'm thinking target shooting, not hunting.

I'm a new reloader and will be using a Hornady LNL AP. I want to make some .38 special target loads for 158grain truncated cone lead bullets. What powder would you recommend and why? My concerns are accuracy, cleanliness, safety (low density trail boss), metering and price. I know...

**Other than aiming or jerking that way*** Why would a .22lr smith and wesson pistol shoot low and to the left? From a bench, with multiple shooters to confirm no faulty trigger jerking. Had to move the rear sight so far right that the blade is even with the right side of the rear...

What are y'alls thoughts on deer hunting and temperature and the impact on the quality of the meat. Any rules of thumb for how quick to get the deer meat cooled down before quality is impacted. Any tips for rapid cooling? For example, Hunting in 50 degree morning temps, shooting a deer at...

38 vs .357 bullet drop Would there be a significant difference in .38 vs .357 bullet drop at 25, 50 and 75 yards? For purposes of sighting in a .357 for deer using .38. Cost is a factor and I have no .357 but I do have 2 boxes of .38. Plan is to practice with the .38 and then get a box...

Who processes their own meat? Who takes it to the pros? I like to do it at home. Takes some time but its free and I do it the way I like.

Damn cat is eating my chickens. Any advice for how to bag that SOB? I've seen him a few times and even taken a few shots with some #4 turkey loads in 12g. One time I was walking the fenceline about 15 feet from the fence and heard a rustle. I just knew it was the cat so I jumped...

I was wondering about how people carry their patches. For my Hawken I carry lubed patches in a ziplock bag. Probably wouldn't be welcome at a rendezvous. I was thinking about a project to make a little leather pouch or box or maybe a skoal can size container to keep the lubed patches in. Any...

I'm having two problem's with my Thompson Hawken .50. First is a cap problem. I'm using #11 and they are hard to seat all the way down. I'm having a lot of duds. The caps are new and dry. I think they aren't seating all the way. I'm pushing them down all the way and I think that is the...

Anyone know anything about an 1851 Colt Robert E. Lee Commemmorative Navy model .36. Comes in a walnut presentation case with grey colored fabric (the south) powder flask, ball maker tool... Made by Colt, not a "colt style". made in 1971 Specifically I'm curious if it was made in...

Oklahoma whitetails 200 yards would probably be the maximum range .30-06 3-9x40? 2-7x32? What would be your picks for best value under $300? why?

Thinking of a new deer rifle. .30-06. Maybe a Weatherby. Why? I don't know ..they look cool? Have a pretty good reputation? I'm no expert but a good friend's dad was a gun collector and had many W's. I trust his judgement. I've noticed something about older guns. They seem to have...
