New pistol purchase
I had a similar decision to make and chose a Ruger SP 101. 357 or 38Special ammunition, and there is no worries about either detachable magazines or magazine capacity laws. -

Warne or Vortex rings?
A while back I used some Seekins rings marketed by Vortex on a target rifle that were very good. I seem to remember that they cost somewhere in excess $100. I am fairly sure that Vortex puts their name on other manufacturers rings as well, but if you are sure they are the ones made by Seekins... -

High-End Rifle Scope Discussion
Do you mean the "drop" tests written by an individual that gets scopes for free from Nightforce? I have been skeptical. -

NFA Wait Times
Two from Silencer Central, both just put into mailbox with no signature required. Since the final shipping is from a local dealer there are probably differences in the mailing instructions. -

Pitch the stock or pitch the gun?
I like Stocky's Stocks and have bought a few stocks from them, but for B&C stocks it works out better to buy directly from them. Big selection, and better prices. -

Action/barrel torque question
Buy or borrow a proper internal wrench and torque to spec. Shortcuts are sometimes a direct route to problems. -

Custom bolt gun options
I would be tempted by a 700 clone action with a good barrel chambered in 257 Roberts. Classics will always be classics. -

Always nice to see a Mountaineer. This must be the good fellow with the new RSI. -

Predator Optics!
I ordered a scope from Schmalts (Predator Optics) on Friday, and have it in my hands today. Excellent price (almost unbelievable) and great shipping! -

Damaged barrel....how bad is this?
That is a lot of damage to the crown, and I would bet that it has an effect. It would not cost much at all to have it re-crowned. It is possible to do it DIY with a drill, rounded bit, and abrasive, but anybody with a lathe could clean it up it better. -

Recommendations for a new varmint rifle
The plastic version of the stock is indeed terrible, but the laminated wood and walnut are both very usable with proper bedding. I do pop in a different trigger, but the barrels are usually pretty good. -

Recommendations for a new varmint rifle
I have yet to see the A1, but I will buy one to try when they are really out in the market. -

Recommendations for a new varmint rifle
When I started shooting benchrest many years ago almost everyone shot a Remington 700. My favorite varmint rifles over the years have also been 700's. I know this is not popular with the current keyboard crowd who have never really used one extensively, but you just might find that a new... -

Father / Son Wyoming Pronghorn
It probably will be very difficult to find a good trespass fee hunt at a reasonable price. It was a good option a few years ago, but now most (if not all) of the good ranches have been leased by outfitters. Doe tags are also hard to come by in the past couple of years. One PP areas are only... -

First Wyoming Antelope Hunt
Book with an outfitter. That is the only reliable way to hunt on private property in areas that you can draw with one point. The good outfitters often are fully booked early, and some of them are booked years in advance, so contact them soon. -

What's your favorite rimfire scope?
I like the Leupold Rimfire, and (if you can find one) the Weaver Rimfire. Both of these make fine hunting scopes. As a 22 lr has no recoil there are many scopes that will do the job if they have parallax set correctly, or have adjustable parallax. I have tried some of the others and was not... -

Rifle Double Whammy
The LOP problem is fairly easy to find a suitable solution. However, my wife's hands are a bit too small to reach the trigger properly on many stocks if her thumb is on top. Using a stock with a palm swell works for her if she can keep her thumb on the swell instead of trying to wrap around... -

Does it pay to fly for a hunt
It is indeed "accurate". You state that you have done it differently on some airlines, and I respect your observations and experience. However, my experiences are different and what I posted is first hand. I do not fly Southwest, and have not flown Air Alaska, but I have flown many other... -

Does it pay to fly for a hunt
I fly quite a bit, both domestic and abroad, and have certainly seen carry-on's checked for both weight and size. The gate crews are very inconsistent with checking. Sometimes they do, other times they do not. If the gate crew does bother to check some of you fellows may not be so happy... -

Does it pay to fly for a hunt
I have checked the cost of having a processed elk shipped and was surprised about how costly it is. If I fly for an elk hunt I will pay for the processing and the meat will be donated to the Hunters Feeding the Hungry program. Even having a pronghorn shipped is somewhere around $500 including...
