Does anyone know a source where I can buy scope lens covers of this type at a reasonable price? I have a couple of sets of these and have bought replacement 2 mm elastic cord. They are nice because the elastic cords can be cut to length to accommodate any scope, with or without sun...

My Desert Eagle Mk 1, stainless, was previously scoped. the Mk 1 has a dovetail on the barrel. The scope mount that was installed required that the original sight be removed. I have the replacement sight from Magnum Research, and read somewhere that the DE, like most front sights, should be...

A friend has a Liberty Franklin 35 gun safe he wants to sell. Going to see it this weekend. On the plus side, it's in storage near my vacation home and would be delivered & installed free. I would like to help the fellow out, if I can, if the safe suits my needs. It has been many, many...

Please help me with a fair valuation for a complete set of Duck's Unlimited Sponsor's Shotguns in 12, 20, 28, and 410 ga. Searching the internet, I find that there are individual ads and sales, many misrepresenting the same firearms as EELL series or not accurately describing the shotguns...

Does anyone have a source for a current supplier of a reproduction, replacement wood stock for a Valmet M76. Thanks.

Spring cleaning the collection and decided it was time for new bore mops for the shotguns. My assortment of bore mops and brushes included some absolutely black, nasty-looking mops that had found there way to the bottom of the tackle box where I store such items, some there I would bet for many...

No gunsmith here, but I do most of the work on my own firearms, whenever I can. Most of what I need to do is usually pretty straight forward. Over the last week, and for the first time in more than 20 years, I took the time to look over some videos, then completely disassemble (except for the...

I bought this scope new about 1984. Story was, I wasn't really into rifles, but I was shooting a lot of dove and quail and had come to love Belgium Browning shotguns. An acquaintance who knew I was into Belgium Brownings sold me a used Belgium Browning 7mm Rem Mag, Grade 2. It was more rifle...

A few years back, I got the itch for a lever gun in .357/38 to complement my pistol portfolio in that caliber. After some searching, I found a new Marlin 1834c locally - at an unnamed big box store, and purchased it. From day one, it was never really a smooth action. Reasonably accurate with...

Shot this corn-fed 250# sow at dusk yesterday, hunting over a feeder. Hunt was courtesy of a local corn farmer near the Congaree National (swamp) Park. Shot her at about 65 yards with a CZ-550 Varmint. 308 Win, using 168 gr Berger VLD Hunting bullet over 42.0 grains of Varget. Shot placed a...

OK, so here are the results of Sunday's range session, working up a 168 gr 308 Win load for the CZ-550 Varmint, .308 Win, 25.5" barrel, 1/12" twist. Moderate, variable winds. 77F, Baro 30.01 in, Humidity?. Shooting from a front sport rest and rear bag, off the bench. Two identical target...

Years ago, I made the decision to stick with .223 and .308 as my bolt action rifles. I reload and though I enjoy shooting shooting and occasional hunting, I am neither a competitive target shooter nor an avid hunter. The problem, of late, is that I am having trouble finding quality reloading...

I am not new to rifles, but I am new to the particular situation of shooting targets with a scoped .308 rifle (CZ-550 Varmint) with CZ rings and a Weaver Nitrex 6-20X50MM scope. The problem I am having is that the scope creeps forward in the rings after a range session with perhaps 50 rounds or...

I keep reading/hearing that the 243 Win is a notorious "barrel burner". I understand the concept and don't dispute this. I suspect it has a lot to do with how hot and how many rounds are fired. But, say for a 6mm round at 2800 - 3000 fps, by comparison, is the 243 Win more prone to barrel...

Shopping for a new centerfire rifle. Presently, I have .243 BAR, 7mm RemMag BAR, and .308 M1A, all semi-autos. Just getting into reloading and want to do mostly non-competitive target shooting with possible occasional whitetail deer hunting. Was considering a bolt action, .243 or perhaps...

Beautiful work, Charlotte! Thanks. BTW, that is the new Sinclair top on the old Caldwell Rock rest.

A while back I picked up a Remington 513-T at a pretty good price. It had been dropped on it's muzzle and had a cracked forearm that had been repaired. The repair work was functional, but not that great. I have an online friend, Charlotte, who, in addition to being an expert at prone...

Crossed over from the rimfire bay to the high-power rifle match this weekend and watched the guys shoot the little black rifles. Mistake. Now, I seem to be interested in a match grade AR-15 with open sights. The only little black rifle I own is a ValMet .223, and I seldom shoot it. I am set...

Moving up from rimfire and .223, and have purchased a .308 Browning A-Bolt II Target model. I will be shooting paper at ranges of 100-300 yards. What is a "best buy" scope for this rifle? Think I want target turrets and probably a ballistic plex or mil dot reticle. Possibly a Burris...

I have two safe queen shotguns - Ithaca Model 100 SXS, 12 & 20 ga. http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn270/tcups/Ithaca12Ga/ http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn270/tcups/Ithaca20Ga/?action=view&current=P1030327-1.jpg Would it be reasonable to expect that a gun dealer might trade even...
