It takes very little power to get a bullet through the skin and into the vitals of a deer. Fact is many times it'd get in there better at a lower speed than a higher speed. Reason is it'd mushroom less and therefore penetrate better. A good shot could take a little model 94 Marlin--with scope--cham...

I absolutely LOVE the '06. Mild recoil, hard hitting, many loads, and you can find ammo anywhere. It'll kill anything that walks, runs, or flies.

Maybe it's a ray gun to repel the little green men from Mars if they try to invade. Again. It's been done before, you know. My brother got probed by an alien. At least that's what he says.

In all seriousness, I believe TV to be a major factor in the differences between the eras being discussed. Think about it - prior to the popularization of TV, what did people do in the evenings? Interact with other people, read, play? Anything other than staring at the Idiot Box? Watching TV does no...

Not to hijack the thread, but I used the exploding-bottle technique when I taught my stepdaughter to shoot (she was circa 12 years old). I wanted her to know the serious power of firearms, and drama is a great helper. I showed her a little bitty .22 LR and then used the bullet to shoot a (previously...

Keep an eye out for sales at Big 5 if you have one locally. They sell the Marlin 1894C models for around $400 on sale.

Recall the Rule of 72: Divide 72 by the interest rate your money is earning. The result tells you how often, in years, your money doubles. A $1500 investment that is worth $3000 in ten years is approximately a 7.2% interest rate. Darned good for a risk-free rate of return, but nothing to crow about....

It's my grandpa's name and address. That deluxe 71 is the first and only rifle he ever owned that was bought new. My dad told me that grandma bought it it for him for Christmas and he carried it with him all day, like a child would carry a teddy bear. Wouldn't put it down.

If any of you have access to a college library handy, all of those words will be listed in detail with their origins in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Where I hunt in Oregon is usually stand-type terrain. The season begins in late September/early October, so the woods are almost always crunchy as can be. We select stands on the opposite side of cover that usually gets pushed (unwittingly) by the impatient. Nearly all shots are with 100 yards. We (...

I was looking at Hornady's ballistic calculator on their web site http://www.hornady.com/ballistics/ballistics_calculator.php and I got to thinking about killing power. Assuming a 158 gr Hornady XTP-FP with a BC of .199 and a muzzle velocity of 2000fps, the energy in foot/pounds at 100 yards is 944....

Four questions:
Why FP and not HP?
What kind of velocity do you get w/18grains of L'il Gun?
What is the max for this bullet and L'il Gun?
How would this work pressure-wise in a Rossi?

These avatars are just a wee bit small for the details - I am the guy who likes scopes. BTW what is a primo Browning 71 worth in standard? Might have an opportunity.

The rifle had swivel studs in place. I don't think the barrel was 24", more like 20". The rear sight did not have an elevator, instead it had a screw that elevated the rear sight by pushing against the barrel. I didn't like that arrangement. Also, it was d&t'ed on the side for a receiv...

Seeing as how I do not own a Marlin 30-30, I spotted one at the local pawn shop today. Crossbolt safety, model 336AS. Priced at $279 and he wouldn't budge. Microgroove, overall I'd rate at 97%.
What's the AS mean? I hope it doesn't mean I'm an AS$ for not buying it.

My whole problem with the website is that it basically says that everything in the Bible that Jesus didn't say is null and void. That is rediculous. The whole Bible is inspired by God.

I bought 2 cases (unopened) of Winchester 200 grain Silvertips in 348 from Gunbroker. They came today and I am very pleased! As new, in great shape. Total price came out to $34.50 per box, including shipping. I'm set for quite a while for my 71. The username is LTE and he did great by me.

We're making a good start here. I'll tell ya, my two picks are on the heavy side and I could easily get along with an older model 94 Winchester or Model 92 Browning in 357 mag.
