Just talked to my neighbor friend that does shotgun ammo development for a small specialty manufacturer. They have shot that is almost 2x as dense as Hevi-Shot. They are using #9’s and getting through penetration on turkey heads at 60 yards. A 28 gauge is now plenty adequate due to pellet...

I have a CZ 453 that I feel is quite accurate with the correct ammo, but like most everyone else I’m always looking to improve. One of the ways commonly used on many brands and calibers is to do a barrel swap. so, I’m looking on YouTube and run across this guy truing up CZ actions and...

Have a friend that is looking for a scope for his .338 Lapua. 4-24ish power range Obviously decent eye relief. Open on reticule choice price range maybe $2,500+/-

Took my best friends son turkey hunting this morning on our family farm. Got there about 5:45, and got set up. Decoys out, we are in the fence row at the side of the woods Ten minutes later this bird gobbles right behind us, maybe 50 yards away. I hit the call very gently as it gets light...

There are currently a couple threads running in the Rifle Forum about Mauser rifles. Now, for whatever reason, for as many firearms as I’ve been blessed enough to own in my lifetime, I’ve never owned a real, live Mauser. Always kinda intrigued me, but for whatever reason I’ve gravitated...

Question (theoretical). Suppose I have a scope that shifts zero. Could I check it for defects by maybe locking the gun down solid, moving the reticule maybe a dozen clicks one direction horizontally, a dozen one direction vertically, then move the exact opposite amount to see if it hits...

At one time I had a chance to buy a brand new CZ in .416 Rigby for WAY cheap, like $400 under dealer cost IIRC. Why would I buy it? After all, there is a shortage of elephants and Cape Buffalo in Indiana, and I have zero use for one. But, I’d be the only kid on the block with a big game...

OK, so I’m at the LGS the other day. Just goofing, perusing the gun rack and I see a target type CZ. Don’t remember the model, but heavy barrel, palm swell pistol grip, flat forend. It was +/- $750 somewhere. Dude I’m talking to says he has one. Shoots competitions. So, I ask if how...

looking for something for an AR. Not going to be used for any type of competition or hard use. It’s something that mostly sits in the corner of the bedroom. Would like something that has ultra battery life so we don’t have to worry about batteries running out. Budget maybe up to $250ish...

i have a LOT of brass that I want to store. Some once fired, some new. Particularly with the once fired, I’d like to take some provision to keep it from tarnishing in storage Any ideas?

neighbor that is a rep just got his. Pretty amazing. In 85 degree weather and sunshine you could very easily pick up his dogs at 100 yards. We could find song birds in the trees via thermal. It has a heat seeker option so that, if the hottest area is not centered, it points to where it is...

Anybody else seen the new Burris thermals? Three different styles. I know at least one is 2-7x. One is made to piggyback on existing optics. Be nice to see a major optics company get into this area.

We always get the “what’s the cheapest........” threads. So, you come into a very significant amount of money. You want an ultimate all around rifle. Maybe some deer/elk. Some target, longer range like 600-1,000 yards. Budget maybe $10,000. Dunno. What’s you’re ultimate set up?

friend has one that’s showed far less than stellar accuracy with higher end factory ammo. As in 2 1/2 to 3” groups. He’s going to load some, but I’m trying to help him shorten the curve. Any ideas appreciated

I saw an ad in TV about damp rid for humidity. Basically on a whim, I bought a container and put it in my safe. Within maybe a month, the crystals were gone and I had at least a cup of water to pour out Bought another container plus a refill and now had two. They both filled with water. Got...

looking for a rifle to suppress. Thinking of a .300 Blackout so I can go subsonic. I’ve got plenty of lowers. FWIW, I’m looking at a suppressor for both the Blackout and something I can use in my 7 mag. Any thoughts on a specific brand that’s available, and any tips or ideas appreciated

looking to get something for night vision. Haven’t gotten the wife onboard for a rifle scope yet. Thinking maybe some like the Leupold...

So, I accidentally stopped in at the LGS, just in case something needs rescuing. Perusing through the used rifle rack I notice a larger than average bore. Pull the rifle out. It’s a DWM .458 WM with a Mauser magnum action. Beautiful condition. Little very minor scuffing on the outside of...

i have 5 acres. Back borders an overgrown ditch. Watched a doe having two fawns last night. They’re wobbly walking on the mowed part of our lawn today. Pretty cool.
