Been using bolt guns and pistols for a while, and would like to do some semi-auto shooting for targets. Lots of ar-type rifles out there, but I have to say I'm largely ignorant of the nomenclature, and especially ignorant of the mechanical differences between parts, functioning, coatings, of...

Looking for recommendations on a quality, powerful taser for personal use. My room-mate (female, not particular adverse to confrontation) works in a rather sketchy part of town and usually has to arrive very early in the morning. Hooked her up with a taser bought at a gunshow some time ago and...

Eli Wallach died. Always thought that guy kind of classed up the movies he was in, as if he was a better actor than the parts he got (in a good way).

USA plays Ghana today at 2:30 PT . . . hoping they get those three points! Ghana have been a thorn in our side for the last two Cups; maybe third Cup's the charm. Edit: Vengeance!

Recently bought a Remington 700 AAC-SD in .308. I took it out to sight it in and found that my hand loads wouldn't chamber properly. Required excessive force to try to close the bolt, so I backed off; had to hammer fist the bolt open. Tried with ADI, Remington, Lake City and Hornady brass . ...

I completed a brief--and admittedly free--training class today to qualify for my Nevada CCFP. While the trainers were experienced and qualified, I find that the requirements for passing the class were very low . . . and that the quality of shooters in terms of theoretical and practical acumen...

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I, about a year ago, may have precipitously purchased a rifle before I really knew what I wanted and what I wanted to do with it. The Tikka T3 Lite in .308 I bought has been a fine rifle (as far as I can tell with somewhat limited experience) and I can shoot it...

Read in Variety this week that Jerry Ferrara (Turtle from Entourage) is going to play Arturo Gatti in a movie about the late boxer's life. I'm skeptical, to put it mildly. Now, I'm usually ecumenical about casting and all, but this seems like an odd, potentially troubling, choice in what might...

<b>A Brief Preamble:</b> I am a complete amateur in regards to marksmanship. I purchased a first rifle less than one year ago; I bought a Tikka T3 Lite on 14 December 2012 which, in retrospect, wasn't the best day to do so. Since then I have shot 305 rounds, and I have made some progress in...

New movies coming out in a couple years got me thinking about the last three . . . my younger sister had never seen any of the Star Wars films, so I suggested she watch them chronologically. I know of no one who has done this; I thought it would be interesting to get that perspective, perhaps...

There are some decent reasons to dislike most folks, but I'm curious who you dislike (actor-wise) for no good reason whatsoever. I feel like this about several actors . . . truly despise them despite the fact that I can't point to anything that would make them any worse than some other normal...

Read about this back in early March; have a chance to buy some and thought I'd ask if anyone has a range report on these things. I have questions mostly about the brass; they are using 168grn SMKs and some sort of high-energy, temperature stable powder. Some have said they are using ADI brass...

Hi All Shot 27 rounds yesterday; take rifle out to clean and notice that 6-40 Torx screw head (Right screw, front ring) has sheared off completely (using DNZ one piece). Any ideas about extracting the shaft? I have tried super gluing the head back and slowly cranking it out, but that didn't...

I am trying to learn to shoot long range; recently purchased a Tikka T3 Lite in .308 and so far (given my meager skills and less than frequent shooting habits for the past ten years) I feel that I am making some decent headway in learning fundamentals and improving each time I fire the rifle (I...
