will vote for Hillary before I vote for Romney I hope that's not a religion thing, because HillBilly will have your guns the very first chance she can.......Romney might not like it, but will tow the party platform.... Then we deserve to lose our gun rights. Romney ain't the best but......... If he...

Had to check the internet today, just to be sure that before we travel a thousand miles to visit relatives, my driver's license would be valid in the various states and cities we plan to travel to. I found out it isn't valid in one state, and we'll either have to take a chance, or go about 1,500 mil...

Love those little boxes - Some "tackle boxes" will hold a set of four of them, too, to group say 'cleaning stuff' or 'blackpowder stuff' - got one that holds four plastic trays like that, and has space in the end for upright aerosol cans or powder or solvents or whatever. Sometime get one ...

Another vote for the Commander or larger. The Officer's model I have is a Para P-12 so it is heavier and easier to hold than the other's I suppose, but is NOT 'fun' to shoot. Not so much recoil as just doesn't feel like a real GUN as far as pointability. Got an aftermarket spring/buffer because I he...

Looks just like one a friend of mine had and it DID pour out the bottom; the lever lifted up a rod that plugged a hole in the bottom. Worked good for four-cavity molds he used. Been thinking about one myself; if you get one, post up the results and what you like/dislike about it. Sizer-wise, he used...

I have often thought it would be fun to hook up a BB gun to a air compressor - the kind used for air tools - and then shoot it full auto! :D They HAD one like that that used one pound cans of freon, in the 1960's (probably why we're all gonna die now from global warming :wink: ).

If you find it difficult to do there are inexpensive L-shaped plastic "reticle aligners" - that have one end that rests on an action flat or bolt rail and the other rises/superimposes in front of the reticle. Scope rotational alignment drives me nuts, and so many guns don't have a flat 'r...

I was fortunate enough to be reading "The Red Heart" when my mother passed, and it was the first book in 40 years I'd read that really showed to me the experience of a lifetime. Most 'biographies' are just lists of inventions or famous accomplishments; this book somehow for me said it all....

Geez...get with the modern times. Get him some video game, and some lame plastic toy that will wear out in 24 hours. How dare you actually give a gift that will last 100 years, and instill a sense of responsibility, intellectual curiosity, and passion. Those are qualities of days gone by.

The funny thing is, the socialists claim to be for the 'working poor' and yet the working poor and middle class I know ALL are anti-socialist. Most are Republican, because that's at least less of a 'statist, socialist' party right now than the Democrats. The only Democrats I see in great numbers ARE...

Thankfully another season's get together is past - so hard to hang with 'city' folks whose constant topic of conversation is what's wrong with the world, and how if we can only elect Hilary/Obama/Whoever and just raise taxes (of course only on 'the rich') and increase regulations, we'll make things ...

Tangs best for my 'old eyes' - two times I use other sights: 1. If light is marginal I find a good scope WAY easier to see the target with. That means most of the time when hunting deer in the thickets or woods. 2. If in rugged terrain or I were going after wild hogs or something, I'd rather the com...

Older guy (neighbor) I met when I was a kid - scruffy old coat, and rusty old truck parked on a lane between our fields. After he identified himself, he commented on the .22 single shot I was carrying, and said I ought to get hold of a handgun, since it leaves both hands free when out walking. He th...

From age 5 or 6 to maybe 16, I was 'predator control' for our small farm, and my only two tools were a .22 LR and a 12 gauge. I didn't even shoot the 12 gauge until I was probably 14 or 15, so the .22 LR was IT. Never shot a feral dog or cat or coyote with it (usually 50-75 yards, sometimes 100) tha...

It's so unreal that it's almost funny if not for the seriousness of it all.

My problem with Romney has nothing to do with his religion... ROMNEY IS VERY ANTI-GUN...! He's all for registrations, restrictions, and outright bans. Just because it's "only" against the black plastic guns with things that stick out, does NOT negate the danger. If Romney is nominated as t...

I, for one, would LIKE a 'pointy-bullet' levergun, and WITHOUT having to use special polymer-tip ammunition, and WITHOUT that lingering worry of 'I know it's supposed to be safe, but there is STILL something pointy against the primer of those OTHER 45-70 rounds in the tube...' Seems like you could e...

Laws of Physics cannot be disobeyed. Laws of God must not be disobeyed. Laws of Man are matters of choice. The first two determine that you need to kill the deer, and determine the best way(s) to do so quickly and humanely with what tools are available. The third merely gives you a choice as to how ...

Wouldn't it have been better to shave off the top of the shell holder? I'd think that part is softer metal, and cheaper to replace if you mess it up.

.357 Special Magnum - see the link! Nearly .357 Maximum performance from a case barely longer than .357 Magnum... Interestingly close to the .351 WSL as far as case capacity, but use in a stronger gun would likely explain it's better performance. .357 Special Magnum - http://ammoguide.com/?catid=247...

A few years back, after a large and 'ritsy' subdivision was built nearby, the river froze during a flood, and there were thousands of acres of iced over 2-3 foot deep water over the fields. In our field alone, 6 or 8 deer were chased onto the ice, which broke, yet the packs of collared 'pets' let ou...

I think the S&W 460 would be a much better shooting cartridge than the S&W 500. PRIMARILY because they would make it so you could load and shoot interchangeably 454 Casull and 45 Long Colts in it. Imagine a 45 Long Rifle, Long and Short Lever action. Moose,deer and rabbit gun all in one. Ye...

Non-hunters think it's weird that we appreciate the beauty of the wildlife we encounter while hunting, then proceed to bloody things up by blasting Bambi.

My light Marlin 44 Mag carbine is LOUD, but as far as recoil, I don't perceive much at all. I'm skinny and not particularly 'tough' in the bear-wrestling, football-playing, haybale throwing way, so if it doesn't bother me, I don't think it would bother most adults. My petite 13 year old son who love...

I have a 1980's one and it shoots everything well. Haven't shot it for 'accuracy' but it hits pop cans 4 of 5 times at 100 yards. Only problem with it is it isn't STAINLESS and I really like weatherproof guns. Oh yeah, and I'd really like a synthetic stock too. Makes a nice little companion to the 2...

Awhile back I tried to dig up information on the topic due to an FBI agent patient of mine, and from what we could find, we advised 'low-noise' guns, outdoors, and without other shooters present. Some of the information was just based on articles by women physicians who had access to ultrasound and ...

If mostly small game, plinking, home defense, and ammo cost a concern - I'd opt for a .357 Magnum. Marlin if you like scopes, Puma if you don't. Although .357 is fine for deer (many folks I know have taken them with 180 grainers using handguns), if my main purpose was deer, I'd go for the .44 Magnum...

The problem is that what we are talking about here is, SIN.
