Mfg, Load, Pellet Size, etc?

Dream gun, $1,000 or under. What would you choose for duck hunting? Benelli? Beretta? Browning? Other? Semi? O/U?

Will the iron and wet towel trick to lift a dent damage an oil-rubbed finish?

I'm not a reloader, but am hoping to get a head start on choices of loads for bench rest out to 300 yds and whitetail hunting. Ideally i'm looking for one load that will do both well enough. Thanks.

Looking for youth rifles for my 8 & 9 year-olds to deer hunt with. They've been shooting .22 for a couple of years now and my older one is ready to go along with me on next year's youth hunt. Looking for .243 or something not much bigger. I have seen the Remington 700 ADL Youth...

Anyone familiar with Caesar Guerini shotguns? How do they compare to Beretta or Browning O/U's? They seem to run a bit more, price-wise, and I'm sort of wondering if the additional cost is justified by quality, reliability, etc. Thanks in advance.

I've read several folks observing that the Model 70's rebirth under Browning's manufacturing has set a new standard for over-the-counter turnbolts. True? Not True? Thoughts? I've generally been a 700 guy, but am thinking about a shift.

Does Hornady sell a Custom round with a bullet similar to the Barnes Triple Shock X Bullet? I've been on the Hornady web site and had trouble finding something similar. What does Hornady offer that is similar? Or do I need to just shoot Federal if the Barnes bullet is that important to me?

I just got a 700 SPS Tactical. I intend to use it as a jack-of-all trades rifle. I intend to do some range shooting (I have access to a 300 yard range) and deer hunting with it as well. I'm looking for a good all-around round that will be solid for bench accuracy, but also an effective...

I had a couple of scopes mounted and bore sighted on two Remington 700's through a local gun shop. It is known as probably the most customer-friendly gun shop in my area. When the smith called to tell me the rifles were ready, I said, "Hey, how much would you charge me to tune the trigger pull...

I've read several archived threads about the .257 Roberts. In nearly all of those threads, someone says, "Why not just get a .260," or something to that effect. Is there any use or distance where you'd prefer the .257 Roberts to the .260 Remington?

Was looking at Leupold rings and mounts today. I have a Rem. 700. The guy behind the counter was steering me toward the "medium" height rings. Taking his advice, I went ahead and had him order me a set. I get home and look at the Leupold web site and see that they recommend the "low" rings...

My wife got me a Sig Mosquito for Christmas. She bought the model with the 3.9 inch barrel. I'd like to have the longer barrel. I believe they call the Mosquito with the 4.9 inch factory barrel the "sport". Can I buy a longer target-style barrel/slide for the Mosquito, or does the frame or...

Where do you get yours?

My dad bought my boys each a Marlin Model 60 SB this year. I've checked Marlin's site, Brownell's, and a couple of other places I found on Google, but can't seem to find a youth stock for these anywhere. Anyone know anyone manufacturing/selling Model 60 youth stocks? I'm havin a heckuva time.

Evidently I've been a better boy this year than I thought. My wife tonight says, "If you were going to buy a gun for no more than $2,500, what would you want?" :evil: I've been shooting sporting clays a little bit lately (still learning) with my 11-87 and have really been wanting an O/U...

Do you prefer 1 or 2 piece mounts for all-purpose shooting (i.e. a rifle that is used for both deer hunting and range). I've had people tell me the one piece mounts will increase accuracy/consistency, but no one can seem to give me any real reason why.

Looked at their web site and couldn't find the 642 anywhere. Anyone know which Hogue grips fit?

Can someone explain the relationship between Beretta, Sako, Tikka? I assume Beretta bought out other manufacturers and kept their names? Are they made in the same factories as Berettas? How does quality compare? Are Sako and Tikka sort of like Lexus vs. Toyota (both on same chassis, owned...

My dad dropped off a Baby Desert Eagle last week and asked me to, "see if you can fix that front sight. It slides all over the place. Think somebody could glue that down for me?" I have no experience with this firearm. Never shot it. Never cleaned it. I took a peek at the sight. Sure...
