My dad just purchased an old JC Higgins 12 gauge for me. It's apparently just like the one his dad had.... Does anyone have any info on these? Quality? Or is this going to be more of a sentimental thing? thanks!

So my dad is buying me a hunting gift this year (I usually get some sort of new toy to play with). We're leaving in a week and a half for our 9 day bowhunting trip in Wyoming..... So I have to decide between a game camera and a range finder. I'm guessing it'll be in the $300-$400 range...

My aunt won a Knight muzzleloader and gave it to me for deer hunting. I took it out for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were using 777 powder and it fouled up so badly that we had to clean after almost every single round. Afterwards we saw in the manual (which I had read before...

I'm looking at presses as a newbie....I haven't seen much commentary on the Lee Anniversary Press. I'm a bit tight for money and I read another article that said this is a decent starter kit. Anyone have any insight? HG Thanks in advance

My dad and i go hunting in Wyoming every year. Typically for a week in September bowhunting and again over Thanksgiving for the rifle season. This year we were going to get in some Antelope hunting as well but it was over $900 for two deer licenses and an antelope license. YIKES! So were...

He bought me an early 60's 870 Wingmaster in near perfect condition so I'd have a back up shotgun to my 1100! I can't wait to get out and do some trap shooting with this. In turn I bought him an H&R 829 revolver to replace the one he used to have. I might be spoiled... :D

Hello all, I've been in Illinois for 8 years now and I still haven't deer hunted out here. I go back to Minnesota and Wyoming every year with my dad. I'd like to plan a trip with him coming out here one year and I'm having a heck of a time finding places to hunt. Any suggestions? HG

I just picked up a Harrington & Richards .22 revolver for my dad. He was talking recently about the old one he had that he loved taking out on the farm with him. I see they are still making long guns but does anyone know when they stopped making pistols? HG

Hello there.... I recently purchased a new Buckmark Camper. I go shooting just about every weekend and my boyfriend and I go through a considerable amount of rounds. We usually have a couple of .22 rifles and whatever handguns we have at the time. This time we decided to only bring his 9mm...

Just a quick question here. I'm finding conflicting information. Is there still a waiting period when buying firearms from gun shows in Illinois?

I'm sure I'm starting something here that I maybe shouldn't.... I grew up around guns. I started shooting around 6 or 7 and started hunting at twelve - just like my older sister. Many of my female cousins are also avid hunters. I just wonder when I browse through these posts that so many...

I worked in the steel industry until very recently and I'm sure we all see that ammo prices have gone up. Sad to say - but many of our domestic and Canadian Steel Mills have announed price increases through March if not farther. Most of our scrap is being sold overseas right now because of...

I recently bought a Browning Buckmark Standard at Cabela's in Indiana. I'm a hunter primarily and this was going to be my first handgun. So when all the red tape was done and I was finally able to pick it up - I went to the range, and to my massive disappointment - it stovepiped 60% of the...

Does anyone know of any tactical handgun classes in northern Illinois or Indiana? I've been looking for some for my boyfriend and I to go. I see quite a few that are for law enforcement officers only and we're mere hunter/shooter citizens.....
