    Are These Old .44 Mag Dies Still Good To Go?

    I recently acquired all of my Dad's old reloading equipment. I would really like to start to loading my own .44 Magnum and these are his old dies. I'm 38 years old and I can remember us shooting loads from these dies when I was about 8 so they are at least 30 years old. There is no visible...

    "Claiming Responsibility for Social Violence?"

    I'm in grad school at the University of Texas at Dallas. Over the last couple of years, there's been a lot of discussion and controversy about the specter of school shootings and RKBA issues. Those who advocate concealed carry on campus have been marginalized and even ridiculed. Somehow, the...

    Change TX Law on Suppressor Use for Hunting Game Animals?

    To all Texas Hunters on THR: As many of us know, we can legally use suppressors when hunting non-game animals (e.g. coyotes and feral hogs) but we cannot use them while hunting game animals (i.e. deer). I know there's a lot of us who would like to use suppressors while deer hunting. After a...

    Tell Me About the Tikka T3 Varmint

    I have already done a lot of searching (both here and other places) about this rifle. Let's talk about the Tikka T3 Varmint model: Click HERE for the pdf spec sheet on it. It looks interesting to me. I have never actually shot a Tikka in .308 but I have handled a friend's Tikka T3...

    Stock Options for the CZ 550?

    I'm trying to find a stock similar to these for a CZ 550. CZ-USA does not offer these in America. Even if I cannot find a stock with the Bavarian "hogback," I would still like to have a sporting type stock. I have looked at Richards Microfit Gunstocks but they don't float my...

    Any Experience With CZ-USA Customer Service?

    Do any of you have first-hand experience with the people at CZ-USA? I'm a loyal CZ customer and user. I really like CZ firearms but I had a bad experience with their customer service people in Kansas City a few days ago. This latest incident is basically a repeat of the same rudeness and "don't...

    CZ 550 Lux or 550 Standard in .308 - How Does A Guy Get One in the U.S.?

    One of the dumbest firearms-based things I ever did was to trade my CZ 550 American in .30-06. One of the best firearms-based things I ever did was to buy a CZ 527 FS in .223. Today, I have a hankering for either the: CZ 550 Standard in .308 or the CZ 550 Lux in .308 My strong preference...

    Dangerous Game Rifles for Professional Hunters in Africa?

    I'm not planning a trip to Africa nor do I intend to hunt any dangerous game but I'm kinda interested in something... When it comes to bolt actions, most professional hunters and guides who may face animals that can kill them reportedly prefer to use a controlled-feed action. One internet...

    Do You Own a 527 FS in .223?

    I've been trying to find one of these for some time now. There is something very satisfying about the simplicity of a bolt action rifle with iron sights. There's also something in me that really likes those full-length mannlicher stocks. Makes me think of hunting stag in the Bavarian Alps and...
