    Pearl Harbor Day in Wisconsin

    This ad ran a few years ago in the Ashland Daily Press (Ashland,WI). It was in response to comments made in the paper about the evils of recognizing a Pearl Harbor Day program in their schools. After all, we started the War and were responsible for Pearl Harbor right ? I sure wish more...

    Scope Reticle Choices

    Regarding reticule choices for training rifles. I see many are using similar, in many cases exactly the same scopes as used on their big bore rifles. I've been struggling with which scope I should put on my Anschutz 64 MPR. I was advised to choose a scope with a thin cross hair reticule of...

    Gunsmithing Where to get oddball taps

    Can anyone give me a source to purchase a couple oddball through hole taps ? I need a #3-20 tpi and #3-24 tpi tap to complete restoration of a couple Civil War era firearms. I assume it will have to be a custom job... sometimes staying 100% original is hard :-) Thanks,

    Russian Film Clip - Movie - WW2 Female Snipers

    This YouTube user made a short clip from a popular Russian movie. The film was about Russia's female snipers in WW2. Unlike what we would expect here in a movie regarding this subject, instead of big tits and sex their latest films are pretty much fact based. This clip was part of the movie...

    Sling Help - SPR

    I wanna put a sling on my Noveske N6 18" SPR. I'm considering a Viking VTAC2. I suspect they were originally intended for a carbine but even though scoped, the N6 with the 18" tube and Emod stock seems "carbineish" (and heavy) and not that well suited for a TAB or TIS style sling. Comments...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x44 PST Thoughts...

    I recently aquired a Noveske N6 18" Heavy rifle and have been trying to decide on the proper optic. I thought I had settled on a NF 2.5-10x32 but now enter the new Vortex 2.5-10x44 PST. Looks like decent glass, nice adjustments, great warranty, same length, zero stop... so I'm leaning that way...
