    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Just ordered a couple of rifle actions and put a deposit on a barrel...just have to hope the wife doesn't find out.

    I've heard people say 308 isn't enough rifle

    In terms of hunting I haven't heard many people talk bad about the .308. I have heard some people knock it when it comes to long distance shooting, which it can do but there are other calibers that can do it better. I personally love the .308, I've had two different bolt actions in it, sold...

    Does astigmatism mean it's irons or bust?

    I have an astigmatism and can use red dots and scopes without any issue. I do get a bloom on all of the red dots I have shot with but always hit my targets. Have used a sig red dot and magnifier and can bang around steel without issue. The smaller the dot, the better it looks for me as...

    What do you think of this build?

    I'll second the TriggerTech diamond, I love mine. The Impact some people complain about a hitch on bolt close, this can be addressed by a different trigger hanger. I went with the Lone Peak Fuzion over the Impact myself, an extra $20 and I am more than satisfied. The barrel, you could go with...

    How much less recoil does 20ga have?

    As DM said, weight of the gun will play a factor. Some 20ga models weigh a decent bit less than their 12ga offerings which won't help in reducing recoil. I've not had a need for 20ga, if I needed or wanted to shoot a shotgun it was either 12ga or 410 for fun.

    Any good deals on red dots?

    $420 using code FR4 at brownells a week ago is the lowest I have seen the PRO recently, it's still valid as of this time. I have one and really like it. You might be able to score a deal on a used one on some forums for sale sections.

    .44 Magnum first shots - I'm hooked

    I enjoy my 44 spl Blackhawk and my Redhawk Kodiak. I have only tried factory ammo, still working on getting components for reloading, but factory Magtech 44 Mag out of the Kodiak was fine and 44 spls out of it were very pleasant. The Blackhawk is very pleasant with factory 44 spl. I did...

    How much does "impulse buying" factor in to your firearms purchases?

    Have definitely made some impulse buys in the past, and realized that I didn't particularly care for or need the item, so sold them. Now I usually think things over and read up on something before making a purchase.

    Options for 6.5 Grendel uppers

    I just got a chance to shoot my 20" PSA 6.5G upper I bought, I like it. Didn't try for accuracy yet, just for function and sighting in. Not disappointed at all with it, and even a buddy of mine liked it.

    Has Ruger ever made an attractive, iconic firearm?

    I like some of their products when it comes to appearance, not all, but some. I think that the new Taurus G3 looks similar to the SR series in some parts.

    Looking for a LEVER in .45 LC - your recommendations???

    All the discussion and photos are making me want to get a lever gun myself. Since I am leaning towards getting one myself, I'd probably get the 92.

    Need advice.. Howa vs Weatherby or Winchester M70?

    Haven't had a chance to take a look at a Winchester, but I have had some time with Howas, and I like them. I was hoping to get a barreled action on sale from Brownells but I was a day late and a dollar short for the deals they were having in the past. I also have one of the Howa mini actions...

    Marlin JM 30-30: should Everyone have one?

    Have had a 30-30, Winchester 94AE, early 2000's model. Was fun while I had it but I realized I didn't have a need for it and sold it to a buddy. Had a Marlin 94 for SASS and that was real fun, sold that one to a buddy before moving away, wasn't competing anymore. If I ever get another lever...
