    Suggestions for next gun purchase?

    This is a good problem to have. Recommend either getting one set up for your wife, kids, grandkids. If that base is covered then Training. Take a week - or two - off work and pay for some training from a reputable organization. STRONGLY consider first aid / trauma medicine class, and...

    30-06 still relevant?

    Gents, I'm a fan of the '06 myself and have a few questions based on using a 10 twist bbl. 1. Anyone shot 155's and how did they do? Hodgdon's manual has them at 3150ish with H4350. Don't know how accurate, but if it groups that'd be worth a look. Should I just confine my search to 175's...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Gents, Thanks for the replies. I may have to go this route, but I'd really like Kydex with all kinds of retention on a belt holster. For CC, the two above seem to be solid. Happy new year and God bless America

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Paging @308pirate and any other wheel gunners. On another note, I'm a fan of IWB for CC. Any recommendations in that arena for an N-frame? Sourdough pancake, maybe? God Bless America.

    Rifle Scopes LVPO with the best eye box?

    Bushnell has a 1-8.5 on their website that is listed out of stock. Why no love for Bushnell? i've not handled one of these, but own two LRSTi's and am happy with them, especially for the money. gotta admit that the Razor 1-6 is awesome, though. Paging @koshkin and @Hollywood6mm Merry...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster recommendations for 5" 627

    Gents, Looking for something along the lines of a safariland ALS for the revolver in the subj line. Really would like something with retention (other than gravity) as I'll have this on me either riding or running through the brush after hogs. Won't always be in my hand, hence the need for...

    Gearing Up Before a Ban

    This. You need to have first aid training, be in shape, have good feet, and know how to get potable water from non. Communication would be a good skill to have. FWIW, all the above, even the quote, are things we need to be doing as good Americans so that you'll be a help in an auto...

    What in the Sam Hill?? LEO charged with murder for taking down an "active shooter."

    @trippin, your friend is getting railroaded. If you're not burning up social media with this travesty, start. He (and other LE) needs all the help he can get. Everyone with a badge ain't Comey and Muller. Keep this story alive. God bless America

    Sidearms & Scatterguns KaBar for a US Marine or?

    Off topic, @Firedude, but nice job on raising a son that 1) graduated from the Naval Academy and 2) became a Marine. God bless you and his mother, God bless your son, and God bless America. S/F

    Maintaining Strength While Injured

    You can do this. I know. I did. Tore my left bicep in '97. in a sling for 75 days. During that time I PCS'd all of my gear in the back of my truck (manual xmsn) by myself. Stuff's harder but you can still do it. Squat- get yourself a safety squat bar. Cinch up the bad arm tight to your...

    22 trainer - Again

    Gents, Thanks very much for your replies. Question re: distance? 100 yards and in. My backyard range is 60 yards and 99% of the shooting would be me and the kids on a dueling tree at that distance. The plates are 6" and I paint a 2" circle in the center of each plate. NighthawkCG...

    22 trainer - Again

    Gents, I've been shooting my AR a lot lately so considering going that direction for a 22 trainer. Options I see right now are to either purchase an M and P 15/22 or go with the CMMG conversion. Obviously the CMMG is the cheapest, but is this even effective out to 100, given the twist...

    Please post a link so that we can do as you've done. No kidding. Otherwise I'll have to google this and probably won't find it. Glad you hit one out of the park. God bless America

    Movie Theater Rambo: Last Blood

    When I was a teenager I was watching one of the Rambo movies on TV. My sainted Mother walks thru the living room with a disgusted look on her face and says, "That's about right. Sylvester Stallone can make movies about Vietnam, but he was too afraid to go over there. He might have hurt his...

    You have a lot of sound advice that we all need to heed. To paraphrase what you've said, if you stop thinking and let emotions drive you, then you'll lose the fight every time. That is as true as the day is long. Point to ponder, though, perhaps the reason so many people get so emotional...

    This is good. Very few consider their responsibilities any more, only worried about their rights. God bless America

    We're actually having a march here in OK on 01 Nov just like you described. In theory it sounds like a good idea. People with a lot of experience in the political and PR arena are leading ours. Done properly I think it can be a great benefit. Anyone interested in the OK event PM me for...

    There is much wisdom in what Frank is saying. Get your State and Federal legislators on speed dial and send e-mails. A visit to their office or the capitol is in order as well. Say what you have to say, but be professional, be courteous. Respect costs you nothing. Wear a suit. Attend...
