    Sidearms & Scatterguns For the upland bird hunters: 28" or 30" barrels?

    Been there done that…Adjustable comb fits flush and goes up. I need the other direction. (More drop at heel allows butt to be in pocket and raises barrel to my face?) I cant start to explain why, but I know what worked. I got measured in Houston by a professional with an adjustable gun and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns For the upland bird hunters: 28" or 30" barrels?

    If woodcock, the shorter the better! You will be in cover, most of it tight cover. And don’t look at a bead! You mount the gun and hard focus on the bird. My sight came off one gun - it really isn’t needed except for turkey or some other application where you aim. Ok, second edit!🤓 I have no...

    Questions & what to look for when purchasing land?

    Well…you could come to MS! (There are nice areas and lots of deer, but probably too far from you..) Rural land (near Jackson☹️) with pine trees and some open acreage, on a creek, one tract with a lake, private water company, and electricity just appraised for between $2200 to $3200/acre for 130...

    Power trimmer vs Annealer vs Powder Scale

    Of course we don’t know what volume you are shooting or your use (hunting or competing or whatever), but personally: Trimmer and auto trickler - I got sick and tired of trimming and chamfering brass, so that was first for me. I used a RCBS scale for years and then upgraded to a A&D scale with...

    Another reason I want my neighbors armed.

    Illegal in Mississippi to kill a dog unless self defense or attaching your animals. (I read but don’t reminder details.) you are supose to call the sheriffs dept. This in the Jackson area and is the least of their concern. (National guard should be in Jackson!) Dog dumping is a big problem in...

    Nordic .22 upper

    I love mine. Reliable and accurate. How accurate, you ask? I don’t remember but I never had an issue for squirrels or with grandkids shooting targets. 9 year old was having no problem hitting 28 ga hulls at 25 to 40 yards. I run mine with a suppressor. Only issue is they go through a lot of...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    My German shorthairs love to go out and play everyday around 4 pm. There is thunder outside. I told the wife I would take the dogs “o. u. t.” to “p. l. a. y.” except it is thundering! I have to spell around my dogs! They are awsome animals!

    When do you say, well that is as good as it is going to shoot.

    I have a 1903a4 that i struggled with 3 - 4” groups. I tried various bullets and powders with no success. I have a bunch of mil surplus match ammo, so I tried some of the brass in reloads which got me to 1” groups. So maybe try different brass…

    A question of "cash"?

    I keep at least $1000 in the safe and a few hundred in my wallet. I use credit cards and probably do spend more than if I paid cash…oh well. I use a Costco card the most and get $800 or more back at the end of the year which helps. Sometimes I will buy with cash when making a deal on large...

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    It begs the question of if you are in a know flood area, (they have had high water before I understand.) with 700+ campers, why would you not have your own warning system or somebody monitoring the warnings. I know, hind sight is 20/20, but I bet there will be law suits. Meanwhile I have to go...

    Pistol storage at air force base in Illinois?

    SIL is a pilot stationed at Scott AF base in IL. So no firearm taken on base plus complicated by being in IL. I will have to go through Jackson, MS and Memphis, TN - both great places! NOT!! Any suggestions, short of not going to visit, for how to take a pistol? Store a it somewhere?, other...

    New Member moving to Louisiana

    You don’t say where in La, but if near Baton Rouge or New Orleans, the Palo Alto Rifle and pistol club has monthly matches. They have a website: https://www.paloaltogunclub.com/ that has a schedule of the matches. You can go watch and depending on type shooting you want to do see the equipment...

    Did that this week! I don’t get frustrated. More like a challenge.
