In my 62 years have licensed hunted when money was tight. On fixed income and overcoming injury, acquired .22 and rifle. AR type. Three uppers, budget. Wylde/.300 bo/7.62×39. Love the ar. Previously moisin/fr8/carl gustav hunter. Marlin glenfield .22. What kind of sights optics do...

Most likely, the target sling. Pretty sure I am going with a regular two point. Local consensus is for target matches, not good for any hunting over a nylon tube or regular sling.

Here in East TN not really a big issue. There is a property for sports with 500lb hogs that look pretty domestic 😐 Many of these boys would love to go to Texas and lend a hand, at their expense. But paying when they arrive to kill a nuisance species? Doesn't track here. An hour north...

Looking at possibly getting a hastings sling to use for groundhog/skunk/predator and other small game with a budget heavy barrel upper out to 100ish yds with a prism and irons. Should get 2.5 moa with range ammo. Time will tell. Not looking to compete. Not sure it is worth the hassle. Used...

Navy vet, meaning zero rifle training for me. They look smart and cool. For a novice, allow an index for my support hand. Consistent hold. For hunting and informal untimed target shooting. Personally okay with them. Would not be given over to despair with an bare A1 or mlok forearm...

Now that is ambition. I prefer archery range, and try to avoid muzzle to horn match ups. This is why I fell in love with the msr past age sixty. I CAN take a small appalachian white tail at 150ish yards with just about any competent bolt action milsurp. 100 yards with a decent sks...

Nice. My run away from home state in '21 when it was cold in Appalachia and I was residing in my van. 🙂 Mostly stayed around Ocala, away from some of the tourons. I got my .300 upper from PSA because it was from Florida.

Used Del-Ton dti-15 EH16 rifle. Good price for basic lower and beater 5.56 upper. 375 usd. PSA .300 aac upper. 258 usd. Trybe 7.62x39 upper. 284 usd. Trybe .223 wylde upper 265 usd. All uppers 16" hb mlok. The og upper is not known for accuracy and has that whole 80's vibe. Sitting...

Navy vet ( no rifle training ) and new to modern rifles. How much does the lower affect accuracy? I tried the m&p 15-22 and liked it. Found a cheap dti-15 and got it for close range critter control. Half acre yard in town. Occassional deer, coyotes, bears. All normally no issue.. Have...

Back when I started doing armed security work, I lived where I could roam any number of wooded properties and target shoot / attempt / harvest small game with my .38 service revolver(s). Got to like the .38 special 158 gr RNL with a 4" bbl as a handy woods gun. Years later there were times...

1858 Pietta Belt Pistol in .36 caliber 6.5" bbl

The soft lead will expand reliably at anthing over 800 fps. If you're not getting that much speed a hollow point may not help, my opinion only.

In my case it had better be a Smith if I hope to put it back together on the first attempt :D

I will have to investigate the taurus. I haven't owned a pistol in seven years, carried one in almost twenty so I appreciate the input. For old timers, on cheap guns I'm a Jan Libourel fan from the old days of Guns and Ammo Magazine. I would so have a High Point for a plinker knowing that I...

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I paid 225 for this one from Dixie, bought a 140 gr 2 cavity VKV mold from Kaido, an 18 dollar holster, plastic powder flask. I still am trying to decide on a roundball mold. This can be pretty cheap to shoot and on the upper end of Sam Colt's...

Long ago and sitting right here an unfortunate incident befell my shack, the bullet holes from 2006 are still there. Friends pressured me to get at least a service auto. I had two revolvers, a .45 Colt N frame and a 1938 Colt new pocket, a Mossy. I had been 'out of the trade' for six years...

Jim, are those brass backstraps on the Dance model any concern for 'full power' loads in the current .44 version? I like that grip very much.

Back before these sidewinders turned me into a coalburner I had great success with a 255 gr Keith from Buffalo bore and Lee Loader. Cant remember the charge, but one of their suggested charges was sweet in my 25-5 N Frame 6" .45 Colt. Never chronographed them, should have been 800fps(ish) by...

I had heard of the avenging angles and cut down barrels. Wonderig when people started having them built to 4" with .36 and full size frames. btw I think the avenging angels are simply cool. The 4" bbl from the factory fascinates me as it would become standard. *Edit, Although the original lists...

Since discovering bp revolvers 2015 I have marveled at how well they work when I put any kind of effort at all into them. I had always ASSumed that the Balitmore or NYPD 'invented' the .38 caliber service revolver when they went from the 1849 models to the Pocket Police. I saw the EMF...
