What a wonderful tribute to your old friend. I love stories like this. Thank you. Yep. We need to all be mindful to involve youngun's in the outdoors (and pry them from their 'smart'phones in the process). That way someone will be around in the woods someday in memory or tribute to US. Even better,...

They monetarily support anti gun groups. We're members of AMAC, it's the conservative version of AARP. Same here - I won't do business with socialist types, especially anti-gun socialists, no matter how good the 'deal' is. If I get things from the AARP I use their postage-paid envelopes to mail the...

Call me silly but, if someone was going to break a world changing story, one that might have folks wanting to kill them, why would they announce it a month early? Seems that would give the "bad guys" a whole month to do bad things. And once the story is out killing the messenger wouldn't ...

. I have mostly Marlins (1894, 336's) and Rossis (92's) from 32-20 to 45-70 and in between. I prefer Marlins overall due to sturdy and few parts, and so many interchangeable parts with no fitting needed, but the Marlins of recent manufacture have forends that are too beefy for my taste (easy enough ...

. I guess we all hope our kids will learn from our mistakes; I often get 'just enough' to buy that 'next' gun on my list, and 'just enough' to put a halfway decent scope on it or whatever.

I was musing about how I’d never had a Browning HiPower or CZ75 and how the Canik pistols look good…then my son reminded me “Dad, you already HAVE a bunch of handguns; some you hardly ever shoot; you should spend that ‘gun money’ on more ammo and practice with whichever one is your favorite. Then ...

. It was my understanding that the Rossi rifles in the 'normal' chamberings didn't have any magazine-tube issues, any more than their WInchester parent, or their Marlin cousins, but that the extra recoil of the high-pressure 454 Casull rounds created an issue, remedied by threading the magazine tube...

AJMD429

. I tend to think you might wind up with MORE than one levergun eventually, so I'd START with a 357 Magnum. It is plenty for practical needs unless you need to hunt game larger than whitetail or more than 100 yards away. It is so much easier to learn to shoot WELL that shot placement becomes better,...

. Yes I do think the 'toxicity' of ivermectin was mostly exaggeration and fabrication and sometimes it just got lumped in with other meds that were somewhat toxic.

The headspace and NO GO gauges bring up a subject that is one of my pet peeves from the industry. This is not directly related to Ted's original question on the feel of his bolt over a NO GO gauge.

Good stuff guys Thanks! I'd like to handle one in person, but doubt I will bump into one. Pricey to keep on shelf, and low production? I don't recall ever seeing a dealer in the Northeast.

. As others have said, it is mostly about "can you shoot well with the particular rifle?" and "are you using a bullet up to the task penetration-wise?" than it is about a particular cartridge. I think 35 Remington would be a nice choice, or 375 Winchester, as cartridges that make...

My BHA 89 is the eight shot carbine 'blued' (nitrided...

I know that many churches have programs to help local people in need and you don't need to be a parishioner/member - you just need to have the need and be willing to ask.

I have shot 9mm in a Ruger Blackhawk 357 Mag (with the appropriate cylinder), and 45 ACP in a Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt/ACP with its fancy dual-cartridge system and 9mm in a Ruger LCR that only fires 9mm (full moon clips). Probably only 500 rounds total for all three combined though. So far no issues,...
