Looking into getting a Rem 1100. What years are the best for production dates? Are the 2-3/4" considered more reliable than the 3" Magnum receivers? Can you shoot steady 00 buckshot and slugs in them for hunting deer? What areas of wears should one look for on used guns? Thanks.

How often do you need to strip down an Auto-5 to all its small components for cleaning (I.e. taking off the stock, recoil spring, taking out trigger group)? For hunting purposes, not in the rain, is cleaning the bore, wiping down the outside with oil, and cleaning the bolt face and wiping out...

Part 1 of 3. Very nice footage. My 686 Silver Pigeon is awesome, and now I know why.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has the Nosler data for the 150gr partition in .277 using IMR 4831 powder. The one on their website only lists H-4831.

Looking for recommendations for a 1 piece steel base for my 338 Win Mag.

Hi, I found an original XCR from the 2005-era (Pre-Cerebus acquisition) in 338 Wing Mag. 7-5/8 lbs unloaded with a 26" barrel. From what I've read, the TriNyte coating over stainless steel is very durable and tough. The rifle is going to be used for elk/moose/bear primarily. Anybody own/shot...

Anybody shoot one? Was looking at the Winchester 1885, but realized that a bunch of companies are making reproductions now including Uberti, Pedersoli for example. What's a decent caliber for one of these for deer/bear/moose? I see it comes in 300 Win Magnum and they have 28" barrels which...

I was out in the duckblind and twice, when cycling the 870 with an overhead bird with the shotgun pointed almost 90 degrees to the sky, when pulling the pump to the rear after the first shot, the shell released from the mag tube came out and fell out of the ejection port onto the ground and I...

R700 product improved clone, AICS mags, Triggertech Hunter trigger group. Another R700 clone to the market. Available in short action only at the moment. Marketed as a hunting rifle $2200 MSRP, it's alright... the market is getting crowded for affordable R700 clones. The stock doesn't seem that...

Hi, How are the post-64 Model 70s as a standalone push feed action. Are they designed and built better than an equivalent Rem 700, Browning A-bolt, Savage 110, Vanguard/Howa 1500 of the era?

Anybody have experience with the new Wyoming Accumark Mark Vs compared to the ones that were made in California? Any discernible difference? I heard that the triggers are Triggertech aftermarket and the guns are generally even more accurate. Thinking of one in .300 Weatherby Magnum for Western...

Found some extra time to reload a box of cartridges for my Fall deer hunting season. I found my load for my R700 that shoots 0.75MOA, so I loaded up a dedicated batch strictly for hunting use, and will load a batch for range practice and zero check. I also replaced the Lee O-ring lock ring with...

Hi, What do you recommend to remove dust particles from the scope lenses without scratching it?

For general purpose usage, is a modern Rem 1187 a safe bet or just look for a used Premier?

Hey guys, I have a '67 Wingmaster and I wanted to save the walnut and put on some Hogue stocks. When I tried to remove the stock screw with my large screwdriver, with a bit of force, half of the screwhead snapped off. This was surprising to say the least. But now I'm wondering how I can get the...

For a Marlin 336 with Aperture Sights, if load testing with 30-30, is it better to look for groupings at 50 yards rather than 100 yards?

In your experience, for a hunting lever gun in 30-30 carried in the rainforests of the PNW and timber forests of the foothills, would you prefer a fiber optic or simple 1/16th gold bead for hunting? Sometimes it gets a bit darker in under the canopy and I'm wondering if the fiber optic helps a...

Hi, I recently put on a Skinner Express sight on my Marlin 30as. The rear is higher so I need to adjust the front sight with a higher one, and it's recommended a 0.57" or 0.6" sight height is necessary. Is it safer to just get a 0.6" front sight height and if the gun shoots low with the rear...

Looking for something to complement my 270 Win. What rifles do you recommend for this caliber and what's a good barrel length? Budget wise, $700-900 For reloading, is IMR 4831 that I use for 270 Win able to cover the powder burn rates of 243?

Basically in the new law passed on May 1, any firearm with a bore diameter >20mm is prohibited. The Liberal govt had done this to ban 50BMG rifles, but indirectly also ended up banning 12 and 10 gauge shotguns in the process. The govt said they just wanted to ban 'military assault weapons'...
