With a basically stock rifle, what sort of accuracy should I expect from the B-14R in 22WMR vs. 17HMR? I hear lots of negative feedback on 22WMR rifles and praise for the 17HRM versions. I have a little preference for a 22WMR but, not if it has terrible groups with normal ammunition in the...

To all the 17HMR fans out there, the newer ballistic tip rounds look really good but, that tiny bore is a concern for me. Yes, I can buy a skinny rod and jags for it but, keeping it clean is a concern. Then there is the machining of an integral barrel solution that could negatively impact...

In the past, there was a company in TN that made a rifle I think called the Ticho, and another in Texas that I believe was SAS or something similar. Then there are all the other shops and can makers that have or had integral options like Elite Iron and similar shops. Today, I am thinking a CZ...

Glad to hear the 257Raptor is back in development!

The knife lottery's are the worst for me!

I turned down a job there for the traffic reason alone! Life is too short to spend any of it in traffic like that IMHO.

The Curtis Tactical CT-9 and CT-9K are both awesome cans. The CT-9 is a large product improved can similar to the older co-axial models. The CT-9K is the same diameter but, about 2 inches shorter. Both are durable top-quality cans that will last a lifetime even if shot hard. They are all...

How is the weight of that thing? Is handling good? I held one at a gun store and had mixed feelings about it but, it lacked 16 rounds of ammunition for handling quality assessment.

Thanks! The Beretta barrels are a little thin I think for the Vangcomp changes. Beretta makes really good shotgun barrels and chokes though so, not a huge concern. Any issues I might have are probably easily solved with a different Beretta choke.

Awesome details! THANK YOU!

No arguments there. After some experience and break-in, I will start looking for some good shotgun instruction. I can also use what Bill Taggert taught me to deal with the slow reload situation with time and practice just like I did with drawing my Glock from a holster to tear the X out of the...

Your opinion is consistent with most experienced shotgun shooters across multiple shooting disciplines I have encountered over the years. For the reasons you stated, I tend to favor the Beretta BLIS system over Benelli but, the differences aren't huge to me. Regarding birdshot, I shoot very...

Thanks! I don't have to have all the extras the moment my new shotgun shows up so, the Beretta 1301 is easily within range it looks like. A flashlight for example is easy to put off since I have other "nightstand" options. To be blunt, if in my bedroom at night getting ready to go to sleep or...

Okay, just to be clear on the Bereta 1301, I don't have to worry about adding USA content for compliance reasons because that is already done by Beretta?
