    Rock River 20" varmint

    Re: Rock River 20" varmint I have the LAR 8 20" Varmint, Vortex PST 2.5x10. Mine shoots better than me. Very happy with the whole setup. People say you can get more for your money by not buying a Rock River. I don't see how.

    1903a3s and 1917s

    Re: 1903a3s and 1917s The Springfield 1903s above 800,000 are double heat treated. This cause a glaze to form on the wear areas where the bolt rides. One of the smoothest actions you'll ever cycle !

    1903 Springfield vs 1917 Enfield.iu

    Re: 1903 Springfield vs 1917 Enfield.iu It was Alvin York not Albert. He made a comment once about using an English rifle. His unit was issued 1917 when they got to Europe but no hard evidence that he didn't procure a 1903. The controversy continues. The 1903 ruled the range in her day and...

    M1903A4 Remington 1943

    Re: M1903A4 Remington 1943 The Bushmaster 03s from the Canal Zone supposedly were never returned to the States but were supposed dumped into the ocean at the end of the war. I don't think one real one has ever been documented post war.

    Are SA tactical shotguns good for trap and skeet?

    Re: Are SA tactical shotguns good for trap and skeet? The 18" barrel 870 works just fine on the skeet field. Once you get the hang of it, the short barrel 870 is deadly on skeet doubles and especially so on station 8. Just shoot the normal 1200 fps rounds and remember to swing so that you...

    Lever Action Rifle

    Re: Lever Action Rifle You might try the Rossi 1892. Good gun, they can be slicked up by the knowledgeable. If you can find them, you can shoot 44 Special when you don't want to run the magnum loads. Can't beat John Browning's design. If it was good enough for John Wayne, should be good...
