I've not handled a SR-556, but, I've never seen a Ruger I was disappointed in, even the 96/xx family of leverguns traditionalists love to hate. The gas-piston AR system seems to take the best of the AR (modularity) and the best of the AK (ruggedness) and combine them. OTOH, for the price of ONE SR-5...

I'll update when i have at least 250 rounds run through it if any of you guys are interested in a more detailed range report of a budget 1911 --- so far all i've been using has been FMJ, but i dont foresee any problems with Gold Dot HP's whatsoever --- the bullets have a cannelure which allows a be...

For a lanky person not wearing 'fitted' clothes, it isn't hard to conceal a 7-1/2" Super Blackhawk, or a full-sized .45-ACP double-stacker. You won't fool a cop who suspects you may be armed (so don't do this if you don't have a valid CCW), and you probably wouldn't fool some gang/crook type tr...

Muzzleloader season - Savage ML-10 (probably with SR 4759 & saboted 45 cal bullet). Regular gun season - Normal days - 44 Magnum - Ruger 96/44 , scoped. Regular gun season - Rainy days - 44 Magnum - Ruger 77/44 , NECG aperture sight. After the first deer, may 'blood' the 44 Magnum - Marlin 1894-...

Are there any good sources you guys have used to buy 'project' leather? My son (44MagHunter) wants to make a SA holster, so he needs some good sized pieces.

ALSO - remember that just recently Marlin did their 'survey' on which cartridged we'd like a 'new design Marlin' in - and listed everything from .454 Casull, to .375 H&H, and .30-06, etc.

The other 'scientific' approach would be to look at a 'burn rate' chart, and pick a fast, medium, and slow powder. You'd get much the same results as some have mentioned above. Then other powders for 'fine tuning'. SR 4759 is one of the really useful 'medium' ones too, judging by how many cartridges...

On reviewing the various Trail Cams out there, it seems they ALL have reviews mixed with many 5-stars about how wonderful that model is, and yet many 1-stars about how lousy they are and no warranty service, etc. I assume it is some sort of thing where they are all basically using the same software ...

I agree with Rexter. If there are kids and/or other unknown-position family or friends in the area, not penetrating walls (or floors or ceilings) would be a good idea.

Between Unique , 2400 , and 4895 , I've found I can have decent loads for small and magnum handgun, bottleneck and straight rifle from .223 to .444 Marlin. Not always the BEST, but very serviceable and as good as factory loads, at least. I'd stock those three in larger cannisters, then if you want t...

If you want something powerful, you might like this "12 gauge wildcat" - I believe the link below has some VIDEO footage of it, or a link to it. Pretty awesome, and one was made on a NEF breakopen rifle chassis. http://www.gunownerstv.com/1212.jpg http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php...

MidwayUSA had (may still), .35 Remington "stuck case removers" and they might work for any .357 diameter bulleted case (I don't know that for a fact, however). I have one on order just because they were on "clearance" and something like $1.49 or so.

I like the idea of having them 'research' and 'pick' their own, even if just between the two kinds. I favor the Marlins, because they are simpler to clean and repair, and allow easier use of scope or receiver sights, and NOW, because they are still being manufactured. It would ALSO be easier to spen...

I think the Guide Gun's "strength" comes from the fact that it enables a very LARGE bullet to be thrown out at reasonable velocity. From what I've read, if you get down to the wall-thicknesses, bolt-angles, and so forth, it isn't that strong by MODERN standards. Keep in mind that at the ti...
