It seems to me that elevation is less important in an adjustable sight than is windage. It is easy enough to hold over/under in the field. It is more difficult to hold off.

The Constitution is not an excuse for being a jack-ass. The hard nosed stiff necked among us are sometimes as potent an adversary as the antigunners. This is a battle of public perception. Remember it is the mighty oak that goes down in the hurricane while the flexible resilient palm sway in the wi...

I think I would rather eat ground hog then possum, but I wouldn't eat Armadillo at all, as they are a know carrier of Leprosy. I have heard that anything from the cat family is the best eating of all. Armadillos can carry leprosy but few actually do. Remember that cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc...

Hawks and quail and pheasants have co-existed in this world for hundreds of thousands of years without exterminating one another. OTOH we have exterminated several species in the few brief years we have been on this continent.

I heard that they were looking for the author of the Bible......they want to charge him with a hate crime....something about stoneing to death men who lie with men.... God is not a man. Any middle aged man with a bad prostate can testify that no man would ever have done that to a brother. God had t...

Should it be safe to fire 45 +P loads in a modern M94 Winchester? I have two, a Trapper and a Legacy, and it would be nice to be able to use the same ammo..

If the military in its transition to lead free bullets decides to adopt a design with high copper content we can expect it to go up even more.

Well, if Sam Colt had been right handed he would have put the loading gate on the other side.

I know who my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were. They were the ones who raised me. Considering that the parentage of about 1/7th of children is misattributed and there is no certainty of biological connections beyond three generations it doesn't much matter.

Nath and I are on the same page.

Not to stray to far off topic but I remember reading Ernest Shackleton having to shoot a one of those seals with his 92 44-40 that was chasing one of his men. The meat and blubber (for lamp oil) got them out of a tight spot! Who you trying to fool? Everyone knows those things can't be killed with a...

Chicago journalist Mike Royko, one of our most notable celebrities of Polish ancestry once wrote a column defending the use of the term 'Pollock' in referring to people from Poland. He pointed out that the word is actually the Polish word for themselves and not a slur.

It appears that you feed your foxes very well over there.

The risk with steel shot is not just scoring of the barrel but also peening of the choke. I have an O/U with visible bulging of both chokes which caused it to sell at a very attractive price. The dealer let me take the gun to the local range to test fire it and to check the patters with my usual lea...

It is just a basic hunting concept of "Fair Chase". It is hunting not harvesting , sniping a turkey at a 150 yards isn't that much of a hunt. Neither is throwing out an old mattress spring and corn. But with that said in Wisconsin you can use a bow to hunt , because once again it has that...

The action of the 340 was obviously 'strong enough' for the cartridges for which it was chambered.

BAGTIC

I suspect the 'optimum' length will vary according to the load and powder charge with heavier charges of slower burning powder topping out at longer lengths.

BAGTIC

Not just the gauge but also the external finish will affect durability.

If worried about screws leaking use a screw less design which does not have any exposed screws.

Also have a continuous ridge vent with external baffles.

10 grains of Red Dot and a quarter sheet of toilet paper will do it. If you want to shoot the round balls they should produce about 2400 fps. As long as you are burning primers and powder you may as well have the fun of shooting at something.

Many years ago a friend had one. We went shooting together one day, all short range 100 yards, and my Winchester M100 with a peep shot groups a third the size of the HK. I have never even looked at one since.

Don't worry about the head diameter. It will fit. A relative bought a M99 Savage in .308 back in the early 60's he came to me with some weird cases and asked what was wrong with his new gun. I told him "Nothing, you just loaded it with the wrong ammo. This is a .300 Savage case and your gun is ...

Been refilling mine for 20 years. Go to local farm supply store and get some syringes with hypodermic needles, one for each color. Make it easy to withdraw ink from bulk container and inject in used cartridge. You will probably get some on your fingers so if you are squeamish you might want to wear ...

"If u place your shot at home defense ranges, a 9, 32, 22, will work as well as a 45. If you want to shoot somebody at combat ranges, use a 45." Not my experience. The trajectory of the 45 ACP is so high that expecting to hit anything at "combat' ranges is for most people wishful thin...

.444 is too much gun for a survival gun. .22 would be my first choice. If I needed something a little bigger I would try a carbine in 357. The load/bullet makes more difference than the caliber. As for bears I will bet anyone here that I have a better chance of stopping a bear with a .357 carbine he...

In the international lumber trade Douglas Fir (not really a fir) is known as 'Oregon Pine' though it is not really a pine either. Out west Ponderosa Pine is known as 'Bull Pine'. I once lived in an old house in California built in 1906. It was the former home of a local banker. It had yellow pine fl...

All conifers are 'softwoods'. All broad leafed woods are 'hardwood. Regardless of actual hardness. Yes, balsa is a 'hardwood'.

I know it doesn't make sense. So what else is new?

There are quite a few .400 (10mm) pistol bullets available but the heaviest I recall seeing was a 200 grain. A 10mm (.400) can be assembled on the 30-30 case but only if one is willing to accept a straight case like a giant .357 Maximum. I don't know how it would feed through a repeater but it shoul...

I have a 20 gauge. They are very light and with max 2 3/4" loads they can be a little brisk. I think what turns off many modern shooters who have grown up with the ubiquitous gas operated guns is the double shuffle of this long recoil repeater. It feels... well... different. Oh. My 20 has the l...

For kids I prefer the hinged action single shots. Use them my self when shooting pests around the house. Very easy to check chamber for loaded/empty. The hammers are easier to cock for little hands that the spring powered strikers and easier to release if they decide not to shoot. Very obvious wheth...

The first thing I check when a gun goes suddenly bad like that is the sights. It is amazing how often something has shifted, loosened, etc.

Thanks Joe :) Then i`d have to put some air ration device in there or somethin. :roll: Don't need an air compressor to aerate the pond. The bubbles themselves don't actually do much aeration they just stir the water. All that is needed is a little pump that draws water from the bottom and discharge...

I have all three calibers. If I could keep only one it would be the .375. All fantasies aside I am realistic enough to admit that at my age and finances I am not going to be shooting anything that needs more power than the .375. I had shoulder surgery two years ago. It worked great and wasn't at all...

Who noticed that both of the sponsors were DEMOCRATS? This is a good lesson in why those partisan extremists who constantly denigrate DEMOCRATS in general are not helping our cause.

If they were made legal here, my only interest would be to try to build a working replica of a crossbow from the Middle Ages, just for the historical experience. This is the weapon that popes once banned as "evil" because it allowed a relatively untrained commoner (vs. an English longbowm...

I wonder what the connection is between snakes and chickens? They both thrash around when they are looking for their head. I have had chickens get up on both legs and run 25 yards without a stumble. Wait. Aren't rattlers supposed to taste like chicken?

About 10 years ago I wanted to see what all of this Walmart stuff was about. After I spent about a half hour in there I walked out feeling like I was a member of the DuPont family.

Nath,

I assume the factory FMJ load was 158 grain. Do you ever use any other weights or bullet styles for anything?

BAGTIC

Let's see now. Crossbows are just as effective as guns and if we permit crossbows to be used it might have an adverse impact on deer populations. If that it true perhaps we should also restict hunting with firearms as they are just as effective as crossbows and would have just as much impact. Actual...

Pump over SA is the standard position but it is suspect. With a clean gun and factory ammo I doubt there is any difference in reliability. Modern guns are reliable enouh that some SWAT units use SA instead of pump because of their advantages. Steadier gun positioning, better ability to use one hande...

It is not illegal to shout "Fire!" in a theater. It is illegal to falsely shout "Fire!" in a theater. If one detected a fire and did not sound an alarm they might be subject to charges of criminal negligence.

Remington fiddled with something similar but didn't adopt it. Not sure why they passed. I think that's .22 mag lower right. http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/remington600/DSC00767.jpg The .267 was Reminton's answer t0 the .25 Savage. It was a high velocity loading differentiated enout to prev...

There are several strikes against the concept of larger more powerful rimfires. Rimfires are limited to low pressures by their folded rim construction. Rimfires are more subject to misfires than are centerfires because of the way the priming compound is applied inside the rim. If the is a gap in the...

Has anyone come across a web link to a dimensioned illustration of the cartridge? How does the case differ from 22 Rim Mag?

It wasn't the straight grip that made the #3 hard shooting. It was the whole **** stock design especially that Hollywood nostalgia butt plate. It also would have looked nicer without the barrel band.

I was worried sore shoulder, I shoot skunks, I don't go near them after they are dead. They are destructive and disruptive. But there is no pleasure in it. I have never been able to determine their place in ecosystem. They compete with the Moles and Ravens for grubs and worms. They compete with all...

Skunks are excellent mousers andf also consume a lot of insects especially the larger ones like beetles. Unfortunately when I lived in Kalifornia they were by far the main carrier of rabies. Their fur is quite nice.

I am interested in the receiver sights on the two left side specimens. Identification? Are they factory originals? Bolt mounted?
