    Savage 10 vs Remington 700 SR

    I have a Thunderbeast can coming sometime in the next few months once the BATFE gets through their extensive stamp issueing process. Both the Savage 10 and the Remington 700 SR can be obtained with threaded barrels. I would like a precision bolt action rifle and it doesn't have to be either of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shoulder Holster

    I have a couple of questions regarding shoulder holsters. First, for those who have used them, are they comfortable? Second, what company makes good ones for larger handguns? I'm thinking specifically for things like the Ruger Redhawk, Desert Eagle, etc. The heavier handguns can put a...

    Gunsmithing Sig Sight Mover

    Any recommendations for a sight mover for a Sig 229? None have been available on the Sig Sauer web site for months and maybe there is something better than what they sell.

    M1A Problem

    I've recently been having trouble with my M1A using the same loads I've used for years. It now frequently fails to chamber another cartridge when I shoot it or even fails to cycle at all. What I've done: 1. I replaced the gas plug and the piston with new ones when simply cleaning the old...

    Private Messages

    I have some questions: 1. When I get a private message, I get no notification at my e-mail address of record. Is this the way it's supposed to be? 2. In my notifications, it says I have several unread messages. I've read them all; what gives? 3. I sent a private message to another...

    Hunting & Fishing Coyote

    I was sitting in my hide (my front porch) last evening in my carefully selected camo when this coyote came of the corn field around dusk about 100 yards away. It was DRT with a .308 caliber Nosler 168 gr. BTHP Match bullet out of my M1A.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hollowpoint Feeding - Glock 19

    I have a Glock 19, probably first generation as I bought it a long time ago, that chokes on hollowpoint bullets. I was wondering if changing to an after market barrel of current manufacture would alleviate this problem?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P226 vs P229

    It would appear the Sig Sauer P226 and P229 models are quite similar. What is the major difference between them and are the barrels of one interchangeable with the other?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Locking Ring

    I have a Leupold scope in which the locking ring that's supposed to hold the ocular in place is continually loosening which is quite irritating. Does anyone have a method of preventing this that won't hurt the appearance or function of the scope?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 & IWB Carry

    I'm considering getting a 1911 and was wondering if someone could tell me how comfortable one with a 5 inch barrel would be in an IWB holster. My sole experience with an IWB holster was with a revolver and that wasn't comfortable at all but I'm thinking a 1911 being thinner would be different.

    The way I like to do load work-up when possible.

    - - - - - - I like the fact the various groups lined up well on the horizontal axis; this doesn't always happen using different bullets with the same load otherwise. Even with cartridges with different bullets loaded randomly, a groundhog at 200 yards would be in mortal danger. The...

    Suppressors Suppressor Questions

    I'm thinking of getting a suppressor and have some questions. For price, I'll probably stay under $1,000. 1. If I get a suppressor for a .308 caliber rifle would it also work for a smaller caliber such as .284 or .224? 2. Do suppressors adversely affect accuracy? 3. Any particular brand...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 10X

    I have a question for you real scope experts. A fixed power Leupold Mark 4 10X sells for about $1,500 but you can buy an illuminated Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10X variable scope for about the same money. What is it about the fixed 10X that justifies as much money as the variable?

    Suppressors Sig Sauer P290 vs Kimber Solo

    From looking at the specifications, it would appear that the Sig Sauer P290 and the Kimber Solo are essentially the same in weight and dimensions. Since I've never had a firearm made by either company, I'd like to know of opinions regarding the relative quality of firearms of said companies or...

    Stainless Steel Media

    I've ordered a Thumler's Tumbler and am now shopping for stainless steel media. There are so many different profiles I'm a bit confused. I have two questions: 1. What Rockwell hardness is best? 2. What dimension/profile is best?
