Good morning guys and gals. I am looking for a CCW, and want it to be a .45 (all my other pistols, 1911's) are .45 and have a ton of ammo is why the want to stick to a 45. I am looking at the Glock G36 and 30's. Not dead set on the Glocks, but would like input from you other carriers and what...

Hey guys, question for you. A friend of mine picked up an AR manufactured by Colt at an estate sale. I haven't seen teh AR yet, but my friend told me it does say Colt on it, and has some numbers. He also said that the gentleman who had owned the rifle (and had passed away) had bought the AR many...

First of all, wasnt sure where I needed to put this thread, so if mods need to move it, my apologies. My question goes to the following: I was always told that a lighter rifle, will kick harder, than a heavier rifle (caliber being same). The theory behind it sounds reasonable, and believable...

Hey guys, getting started in handloading finally. I've procastinated long enough, and Im hopping in. I pretty much put it off because originally I only had my .308, and well, ammo is pretty cheap for it. Plus, never really got into anything that really would warrant handloads. Well, now that...

Look, first of all, I know I can expect a whole lot of opinions on the question at hand, and could possibly turn into a huge debate. Let's just try and keep it civil. My son (just turned 5 yrs old two weeks ago), is in absolute love with animals and wants to go hunting with his Daddy, and wants...

.577 cal Hopefully the above link works. Not sure if any of you guys have seen that...but I got a pretty good laugh out of it.

OK guys, had a few questions, and Im sure alot more as the build progresses. BAsically, short version is, Ive been doing my practice and building up for long range shooting with my Rem 700 SPS .308. So, after getting in range time with it, and starting to learn about windage/elevation/bullet...

OK guys, Ive finally decided to start reloading. Up to this point, I thought the equipment involved in reloading was expensive. Once I found out that it wasnt that bad (in fact, it appears to be downright CHEAP), I decided to give it a go. Questions: A fellow hide member has pointed me in teh...

Hey guys, just curious...just picked up my first AR, and looking for a sling. Found some info on teh following...TAB, TIS, and VTAC here on teh Hide. Anyone care to chime in which one I should go with? 16" Carbine. Thanks

Well guys, I ordered up the Del-Ton kit, 16" M4 I know that Del Ton is not spoke of that much @ here, and really, not at all that I have seen, aside from teh occasional add on in a post for "budget" rifles. I know that there are alot more reputable companies out there, and some of which are...

OK guys, as some of you know, I bought a Springfield Mil-Spec couple days ago online, and just went down to pick up from FFL today. Plan on taking her out tomorrow and see what we can do, here are couple pics of her (question below pics) The ILS......when in storage, any benefit to...

...with it? What's your take on it? I was thnking of picking up a rifle chambered for the .257 later on down teh road, as it seems to be a pretty hot cart. (average of 3800+ FPS 24-26" barrels). Was thinkig of adding it as Varmint/paper rifle. Any reason not to other than ammo kind (from what...

Hey guys, I am in teh market for a nice 1911, to be able to hand down to my son, and for him to hand down to his, and his his, etc...SO, I guess you could call it a family heirloom, even though it isn't "right now". So, what 1911 would YOU buy? Now, I want a gun that can be shot as well, not...

OK guys, short version. Been 20-25 years since I have been on a range, and even back then, it was more just to shoot, as it was with my Dad, and I was a youngster. I picked up my rifle (700 SPS Varmint .308 HB 26") couple /few weeks ago, and did get on range last week or so, and put some rounds...

Know probaly not right forum for this, but on history channel, got a sharpshooting special going on. Right now, the guy is shooting an ASPIRIN out of the air. Throwing teh aspirin into the air, and plucking it out with a .22 rifle....pretty amazing stuff

OK guys, rookie getting ready to buy first scope. Now, I DON'T need a recommendation on a different scope, or opinion. I just need to know should I choose Mildot, Dead Hold, VPlex, etc...? SCope I am buying is the Vortex Viper 6-20X44 Some hunting, long range shooting.... Thanks guys

700 SPS Varmint .308 with the 26" HB. I had looked long and hard at the 700 and teh Tikka T3 Lite, and was leaning towards the T3, since I had heard so many good things about it. However, reason I went 700 is #1, parts availability and #2, better deal. To me, teh 700 is like the 69 Camaro...

Well, since I kind of hijacked another thread for a post or 2, figured I would start my own, since I still had some questions. OK.... As some of you may know, I am in teh hunt (no pun intended) for a rifle, and willbe my first actual purchase, ever. After spending last few weeks here on the...

OK, short and quick version..My dad was an avid gun collector in late 70's/early 80's, and we went hunting alot (bird, deer, hog, etc..) and shot mostly .30-06, .30-30, and 12 gauge (semi auto) Dad was an alcoholic, lots his job, sold off his guns. Fast forward to early 90's, some friends and I...
