I would agree with 86er's recommendation on the Nosler Partition. I haven't shot any deer with a 223 but if I were going to that would probably be the bullet I would choose. Ive considered using it on deer and hogs because the deer here in Florida are so small. In the end it all comes down to shot p...

RustyJr

Congratulations to the both of you. Glad to hear she got her deer.

Always good to see a new hunter join the ranks. What kind of rifle did he pick up?

The movie that you are thinking of with Charleton Heston was called "The Mountain Men". The one with Robert Redford was "Jeremiah Johnson". As to the preferred long gun of the mountain men, not sure how popular the Hawken was. I know in the movie Jeremiah Johnson the writers said...

Congratulations Brandon. Makes me wish I was that good with a shotgun.

I own a Ruger Hawkeye in 270 Wichester. It will do 1/2 MOA with the right ammunition. It is made of blued steel and wood. Call me a traditionalist if you want but its my favorite rifle next to my grandfather's Remington 721 (also in 270WCF). If all other gun manufacturers are making a "base lin...

I have a friend that is looking for a take down 22 rifle for a truck gun and is considering the AR7. I have heard of some reliabilty issues with them or at least some of the older ones. Does anyone know if the the ones being made now days are any good? Also how durable are they? Any experiances with...

RustyJr

Jeff, I'm sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.

I have my maternal grandfather's remington 721 in 270WCF and my paternal grandfather's colt 22 pistol. Can't remember at the moment but its either a Woodsman or Huntsman. Neither of these will ever be sold.

I made an earlier post about Ithaca shotguns and while I'm still looking at them I am wondering if anyone has any experiance with CZ's shotguns, particularly their side by sides. I like the looks of their Ringneck model but am open to suggestions. I've wanted a nice bird gun for a while and I've alw...

RustyJr

I know they aren't Ithacas or even pumps and weren't in the OP, but does anyone have any experience with the CZ side by side double barrels? They arent bad looking and the price isnt too bad. I know you tend to get what you pay for with firearms but I'm curious. I know their rifles can't be beat as ...

Well, the Lord has blessed me this year. Passed the academy entrance exams and have ben accepted into the academy. So, based one that . . . Completion of my up coming police academy. Job with one of the larger police forces here. Lastly as far as firearms go, I'd like a nice bird gun. I'm currently ...

RustyJr

I'm not sure how hot that load is. It should be fine though I'm guessing. First two hogs I shot were with WW 240grain soft point out of a 44 Mag carbine. One word of advice, if your hunting hogs with dogs, leave the rifle in the truck and just carry the sixgun. With dogs the range is usually extreme...

RustyJr

I also prefer a handgun for home defense. Easier to manipulate light switches and door knobs if one hand is free. Also if you have to go answer the door at the wee hours of the morning a handgun is easier to conceal and doesnt alarm people as much especially if it is a law enforcement officer. RustyJr

RustyJr

BigSky,
You mentioned a 410 for mountain grouse. Do you currently use a 410 for them? If you do what kind is it?

RustyJr

I am considering in the next year or so getting a nice shotgun for shooting clays and possibly some bird hunting. I have a 870 express but would like a nicer looking and handling shotgun. I was considering an Ithaca Featherlight in 20 gauge. Does anyone have any experiance with any of the current cr...

RustyJr

Mr. Pitchy, I really wish you would reconsider your choice to leave. Like some of the others have said, if you need a break by all means do so. However the forum wouldnt be quite the same without ya. Didn't see the post that started this and probably wont. Just thought I'd speak my piece. If you do ...

RustyJr

Great story Joe.Thank you again. Your stories never disappoint. You said your rifle is a 7mm Rem Mag? Whats the make and model? From the pic it looks like its blued steel and wood.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I offer my condolences Mr. Taylor. May the Lord ease your families loss. I look forward to meeting him one day.

I was skimming through a magazine recently, I think it was Rifle Magazine, had an article on the current Marlin situation. I believe that them not making the above mentioned rifles is only temporary. Supposedly they are trying to get all the machining up and running and as a result are only trying t...

Makes me think of Capstick and his stories about Frederick Courtney Sellous. If I'm not mistaken Sellous carried a 2 bore cap gun in Africa (not sure though, its been a while since I've read it. According to the account I read the stock of his rifle just behind the lock was wrapped with dried elepha...

RustyJr

Done.

RustyJr

After posting something like that I think your gonna need a little more protection than a gas mask. Maybe . . . a helmet and a fox hole.

I've always thought the 7mm-08 would be a useful round. Only thing is I already have two 270s so I don't have much use for one at the moment. If I were to try and build a light mountain rifle I'd most likely get it chambered in 7mm-08. Seems like its ballistically similar to a 270 but in a short act...

RustyJr

Thank you for that. Hits close to home these days. My cousin is now in country in Afganistan but has yet to reach his final FOB. May the Lord watch over them all.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Can anyone recommend a good bullet for loading in a 270 for varmint hunting? Haven't seen any but I was thinking a 130 grain would be nice because it would have a similar trajectory to that of a deer load.

Thanks,

Buddy of mine just informed me that Colt Firearms is moving from Conneticut to Florida.

I know there are others out there with bigger troubles and worries than me, but if yall would say a prayer for me this week I would appreciate it. I have testing scheduled for Friday December 16th for entrance into the local police academy. Testing consists of a physical apptitude test and the FBAT ...

I will have to go with the others that suggest a Ruger Security Six. Mine us a stainless model with a 4" barrel. Bought it used for around $350 several years ago. Someone must have done some work to it before I bought it because the trigger and action are aaaalllmmoosstt as smooth as my dad's S...

Thanks for the laugh Pitchy. I needed it today.

Please be in prayer for a cousin of mine. Just got word that he is shipping out tomorrow for Afganistan. He is an airborne combat engineer. Please pray for his safe return and for all the other members in our armed forces that put their lives on the line each day.

I have a Remington 700 Varmint Synthetic that I'm considering painting. Has anyone ever done this or know of the best method for doing it? Any information or experiance would be appreciated.

Has anyone heard of Diamondback firearms? http://diamondbackfirearms.com/DB9/ I noticed one of there DB9s in my local gunshop. The resemblance to a Glock is amazing, even to the disassembly. If anyone has any experiance with these please chime in, I'm curious.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I know given enough time and money most things are possible. But would it be reasonably possible and not too expensive to install a different firing pin so that it would be more reliable with other types of shells? Thats a beautiful shotgun for sure and good shooting.

RustyJr

My usual CCW handgun is a Glock 23 in 40S&W loaded with 180grn Hornady TAP ammo. My always everywhere gun and backup gun to the Glock is a NAA 22 Magnum. What ever you choose make sure that it fits your needs and that you are proficient with it.

For a long time I just duc taped a 3 cell mag lite to the barrel of a old H&R I had. Worked pretty good too. Don't see why it wouldn't work on your 870. Ive looked at surefire forends for an 870 and they run around 300 bucks I think. I carry a surefire light on a daily basis but cant afford to d...

RustyJr

Make sure you check your dryer vent. Ours got clogged with lint and had to be cleaned out. Before we cleaned it out it would take us five hours to dry a load of towels.

I'd like to be put in for a chance to get it. Thank you for the opportunity.

Does any one have any experiance with Charter arms revolvers? Im considering getting a 22mag revolver and would prefer a double action. As far as I can see they are the only ones that seem to offer a "packable" double action 22 mag. Taurus offers one but its got a full underlug under the b...

RustyJr

I carry a Glock 23 IWB 90% of the time. However, I also carry a NAA derringer in 22mag and I personally would trust that cartridge over a 380 any day. It may be a smaller caliber but it penetrates better. Paco also seems to speak rather highly of the 22mag for a pocket gun. I'd say stick with the 38...

After reading several responses I think I may steer away from the PVC tube theory. As to firearms, they each have there own and know what they are comfortable with. I found a german day pack at cheaper than dirt for 3.97 a piece that I may choose to use. Does anyone have any recomendations as far as...

I was thinking of drilling a hole through the "block" that is in the top of the cap and then taping a steel rod to the outside of the ube to help unscrew it. Would that be a feasible method of opening it if i were tight?

I have a two seperate questions that I would like opinions on. I am considering making a "Bug Out Kit" for a couple friends to keep in their vehicle. I was considering putting it all into a 3 foot piece of 4" PVC with a screw on cap. Figured this would keep it all together into a wate...
