    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wife's wanting a handgun

    Dude...well said!!! I have been preaching this for years (as in decades). Even when running a gun shop I frequently tried to talk people "out of buying a gun" because I knew they weren't going to train. If they insisted then I always advised to go with a revolver. I was often quoted to have...

    30-06 Brass necked down to 25-06

    Necking down is pretty straight forward. Use a good lube like Hornady Unique or Imperial Sizing Wax and go slow. Check your case length and you will probably have to trim. Your first loads should be at the lower end of the range for fireforming, check your length again.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wife's wanting a handgun

    Please, Please, PLEASE DO NOT GET HER AN AUTO!!! Unless she is going to practice the shit out of it (most don't) I would get her one of the S&W or other brands of hammerless revolvers. I have been giving this advice for over 30 years to men and women alike who will not take the time to learn...

    rear bag .. buyers guide/rear bags 101??

    Yeah you learn a LOT when you are not shooting on a "square" range. On my home range (back yard) I am shooting down into a holler (a big ditch for you Yankees) and the bag is a real issue with the bipod.

    rear bag .. buyers guide/rear bags 101??

    I have been fighting with rear bags all year long, and have come to the conclusion you cant have just one. I started with a compact back bag with ears and a clip on it for using in matches where you have to pack your gear to several different stages. Works alright but isn't quite tall enough in...

    On that note, how about a pic or two of the Remmy?

    Remington 700 pistol

    If it has then I stand corrected. I still don't see how a dealer can designate a 700 action as a pistol. I get it with a T/C frame, that is all together different. Assuming that Brownells can ship that action to areas where handgun ownership is very strict, makes me think more rifle. But, I...

    Remington 700 pistol

    There is your answer right there..."They don't sell or even make model 700 pistols" meaning if you were to ever be checked any LEO that knows guns will think it is a chopped down 700 rifle.

    Remington 700 pistol

    I'd call ATF, but I would say if you look at Remington's website bare actions are probably listed as Model 700 rifle actions.

    Does the Beret really mean anything anymore??

    When I was at Benning back in the 80's the guys that were accepted into Ranger school got to wear the black beret before they ever even started the school. Only difference was the lack of the flash. We fondly (sarcasm) referred to them as "Rangers in Waiting". That black beanie made some of them...

    DIY portable shooting bench

    You could go with two sections of slightly bigger pipe mounted to the bottom drill a hole weld a nut on and use a thumb bolt to clamp the leg in it.

    Dude give up. Never argue with an idiot, people in the distance (or on the internet) may not be able tell who is who. I am on your side buddy, but I hate to see you stroke out.

    53 V Max in 12tw. 223, Anybody?

    52's and 53's ought to shoot interchangeably, but H4895 is not really a favorable powder for it. It will work, but there are better powders out there. H322, BL-C(2), W748, even though I have no experience with it, CFE223. I had a theory that the longer extruded powders stacked in a small case...

    Winchester Model 63 Super Speed and Super X Question

    The more I look at the pics, the more I think that is bare metal and not plating. In the last pic I see what appears to be polishing marks. Regardless, that is not a 50's era Winchester blue. Whoever did it did a hell of a job.
