I own and have read One Second After. I also read Lights Out when it was in PDF form. Both are based on EMP, however from wht I remember the Lights Out version the characters seem to more prepared. Both are very good reading.

I agree with Alan, he doesnt look like he knows how to handle a rifle.

In the first pic, is that a Specter or Spooky? Are either of these the same as Puff the Magic Dragon. I know one was a C-130 and the other was a C-47 if I'm not mistaken. The one in the picture appears to be the latter but i always forget the nickname for them.

Thought ya'll might be interested in a report by the local sheriffs office. Still unsure as to whether he will be prosecuted.

Its a Redfield 3-9 with their Accurange recticle.

I was talking with my dad about that earlier today. If I understand correctly he said that we can polish the bore and open it up some. I believe I will eventually try to do this. I am considering wrking up a roundball load once this is done. Any one have experiance with this? Thanks, RustyJr

Well I ended up going with a 410 after all. I went into our local gun shop and asked about H&R in 410. He wlked into the back room and came back out with a New England firearms 410 with a full choke that someone had brought in on trade in. He was asking $75 for it and since a new one at wally wo...

Im considering getting an H&R to start a youngster off hunting squirrel and rabbit. I am sure that either the 410 or the 28 ga will work for this application, however I'm wondering that if he should happen upon a hog while hunting if these would be sufficient. I'm sure with proper shot placement...

I didnt know they would let you own a EBR on that side of the pond. Do you have to have a special permit?

There is a reason that these animals became extinct in certain areas in the 1800s and this is one of them.

I have a Bushmaster AR-15. It is marked 5.56/223 on the side of the reciever. I have shot both types of ammo with no issues. I also have a Remington 700 Varmint Synthtic in 308. I have shot both 308 and 7.62 Nato in it without any problems. The thing about the AR gas system is that you don't have to...

I noticed that many of the cartridges that are being mentioned are typically loaded with pointed bullets from the factory. With the tubular magazine one would be resticted to one in the chamber and one in the magazine. I think Mossberg would have to come out with a completely different design/copy o...

RustyJr

ROFL!!!

RustyJr

Well Steve I certainly understand your disappointment. I considered getting a Uberti 73 but after find out from everyone here that they dont handle a steady diet of 357s well I too had to forgo the idea. Like you said, they are beautiful rifles but not quite a 92 when it comes to strength. RustyJr

Does anyone have any experiance with the reproduction civil war era rifled muskets. I was curious as to accuracy in terms of deer hunting. Power would be no concern but I'm not sure how accurate they are.

Thanks,
RustyJr

RustyJr

Prayers sent.

RustyJr

I tested it for myself to make sure it was true, but if you fire steel cased ammo in an AR and then shoot brass behind it, it causes the brass to stick. If Im not mistaken the cause seems to be from the laquer on the steel cases coming off in the chamber when it gets hot. My rule of thumb is if its ...

RustyJr

I have a Bushmaster HB 20" A2. I have been happy with the performance. Because of the fixed carry handle optics are difficult to mount. However for what I wanted it for (HD and plinking) it does fine. I dont like to rely on optics that require batteries and the rifle itself is about as "bu...

This is a picture of a three shot group fired at 100 yrds from my new Ruger 270 hawkeye. Ammo was Winchester Super X 130 grn Power Point from Wally World. Group measures 3/4" center to center. The three holes were made by the 10th, 11th, and 12th shots out of the rifle. Think its good enough? R...

RustyJr

Nice deer. Kinda suprising about the lack of effect your rounds seemed to have. Makes me think back on some of Mr. Keith's writings where he mentions that if the first shot is not perfectly placed that an animal can go for a long time because the first round delivers all the shock that the animal ca...

RustyJr

Haven't heard anything as to the fit and finish of them but the new 86/71 from Pedersoli looks very similar except they have a half mag tub instead of a button mag. Once I start hearing more about them I may get one if anything said about them is good.

Anyone here own a pair of snake boots? I purchased a pair from the local red wing store. They are water proof in addition to snake proof. Huntin mostly in wet swampy areas or palmettos I can appreciate both functions. I'd rather pay 150 dollars for a pair of boots than pay several thousand in doctor...

Several years ago when I recieved my grandfathers 270 from my uncle he still had one round left from a box of ammo that my granfather had. I am wanting to turn that last round into a necklace. Pulling the bullet and deactivating the primer should not be an issue but when it come to drilling a hole t...

RustyJr

ok. Just checking. Wouldnt want to ruin a nice rifle

RustyJr

RustyJr

I thought the 308/7.62x51 was a .308 sized bullet and the 7.62x39 was a .311 sized bullet. Have you experianced any accuracy issues or excessive copper fouling build up?

RustyJr

RustyJr

Does ayone now anything about the 86/71 available from Pedersoli? Are they an 1886 or a 71? I notice that they are only available in 45-70 and not 348. Im wondering, if it is a crossbreed then does this mean that it is not as strong as a true 1886. I think they are nice looking rifles but if the str...

Well Jerry, I would but he happens to be asleep at the moment.

Got my Redfield 3-9 with duplex recticle in the mail today. Just got it mounted to my 270 Ruger Hawkeye.

I wonder if soaking one of those powder filled cannon balls in a bucket of oil would "deactivate" the powder charge and make it safe as decoration? Any body know if this would work or if there is a way to "deactivate" them safely?

Sorry about the pics. I had two more closeups of the stock but they are not loading on the page

First time postin pics. hopefully you will be able to see the stock well enough to see the marbleing of the stock.

Not a levergun but a beautiful rifle none the less. Just aquired a NIB Ruger 77 Hawkeye standard variant in 270 Winchester. The wood grain is beautiful and the trigger breaks like a glass rod at approximately 3 pounds. I picked it up at a new gun shop in town. Got it for $747 out the door. Plan to p...

RustyJr

I was wondering if anyone knows if it would hurt to dryfire an AR15 for practice purposes. I know that some weapons the manufaturer states that it is safe to dry fire but Im not sure about the AR.

I have bought books from him in the past and he is very pleasant to deal with.

As a 21 year old I enjoy reading Jack O' Connor. Sadly I believe that most people my age dont know who Mr. O' Connor was nor what he accomplished. I like many here also have a collction of Kieth books as well. I tend to enjoy Jack O' Connor more than Elmer Kieth as to his writing but I believe that ...

Nice bow!

Does it have any hand shock to it?

RustyJr

Just tell her your momma always told you to never be a quitter.

RustyJr

Could you give us more details about the muzzleloading handgun?

RustyJr

Welcome back Hobie!!!!

American Rifleman is the first I have seen of them. I wonder if it is going to be worth owning or if it is going to be like mossberg's copy of a 94.

Was wondering if anyone has heard anything good, bad or otherwise concerning the new rossi called "The Rio Grande". It looks like a copy of a marlin 336.

Thanks,

Given your requirements I would say that it is possible to pick one gun but not one load. As far as cartridges go my vote goes to the 270 winchester. Load it with a 110 vmax for varmints . . . 130 grain for deer and 150 for elk or anything else in that size range. While it wont handle the heavy bull...

Somebody mentioned that it looks like he is wearing glasses . . . looks more like a scar just below his right eye.

270 Winchester with a good 150 grain bullet.

RustyJr

RustyJr

If it were me I would take the 270. Most importntly would be the reliability factor. But also it is flat enough to shoot out to 300 yards and if you crank it down to 4 power you should be good for up close. . .then again it could be that I'm recomending it because it is one of my favorite hunting ro...

Please be in prayer for a co-worker of mine. He is going in tomorrow at around 08:00 hrs to have his kidney removed. There is an 8 centimeter mass and the doctors suspect cancer. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Just a word of warning. . . check factory ammunition as well. About a year ago I took my remington 721 in 270 winchester out to the range . . . opened up a box of factory remington ammunition that was marked 270. Loaded the rifle and proceeded to chamber a round. . . the bolt wouldnt go all the way ...

RustyJr

I agree with el chivo in regards to the 410. If he can handle it well enough to take birds with it id say he can handle it in the deer woods. Set him up with a good slug, keep it to 25 yrds and tell him to punch it through the lungs. Im sure he would be fine.

RustyJr

RustyJr

While the only levergun I currently own is a rossi 92 in 44 magnum, I'd say that the most useful for everyday use would be a marlin 336 in 30-30.

RustyJr

RustyJr

The problem is that while hits beyond 300 meters is entirely possible the catridge itself was not designed to be used past 300. Add to this the fact that the current issue bullet weight is heavier than original specs and it is also being fired from a shorter barrel you have a recipe for failure. Rus...
