      30-30 mossberg/marlin vs sks for swamp gun

      I have a Ruger 44 magnum semi-auto which is a wonderfully handy woods gun and is very light practically no recoil and at 50 yards shoots cloverleaf groups with Remington 275 grain factory loads. It is a deadly deer slayer in close range situations. They have been discontinued, but can be found...

      Where to buy used rifles?

      You might go by Tyner-Petrus. They have 2 stores-one Monroe and one in West Monroe. Their phone numbers are 318-322-4474 and 318-388-3788. Also visit the pawn shops as they sometimes have good deals.

      Winchester 70 vs Browning X Bolt

      I have several Browning rifles Bars and BLRs, but no x-bolts. I have 2 model 70s. They are the new ones made in South Carolina. They very well made and excellent shooters. They are great rifles. I love my Brownings, as I said I own no x-bolts. I would also take a hard look at CZ bolt...

      Remington Recall

      I hope things go well for you. Last year I bought a new Remington 750 in 35 Whelen and it failed to eject. I called Remington and they promptly mailed me FedEx stickers and within a couple of weeks I had my gun and it functions fine now. Later I took my Ruger Hawkeye to Maine on a bear hunt and...

      Looking to buy a new rifle

      I have several Tikkas-all excellent rifles. The Weatherby Vanguards are also great. I have several CZ 550 rifles which are favorites of mine. They are very well made and have awesome accuracy. I love their set trigger for shooting at the range. Recently I bought a Ruger 77 Hawkeye in .35...

      Had all my lever guns out today so I took a couple pictures.

      Beautiful collection! I see you have several 45/70's. Great round!

      Benelli R1 - Anyone Have One? If So, How Do You Like It?

      I researched semi-auto sporting rifles including the Benelli R-1, Remington 750 and the Browning BAR. Out of numerous reviews I read, the Browning had the least number of negative reviews followed by the Benelli and the Remington 750 had many negative reviews. Many years ago I owned a...

      Best All Around Hunting Caliber

      My vote would go to the old tried and true 30-06 the round all cartridges are compared to. However if I planned to hunt dangerous game such as grizzlies or brown bear I would go with a .338 Winchester magnum or .375 H&H. Otherwise the 30-06 would suffice for everything else and has many times...

      Deer Rifle suggestion?

      I have many various types of rifles including Tikkas, Weatherbys(Vanguard & Mark V) and CZ's and Rugers. Compared to the Tikkas, Vanguard and CZ's the Rugers do not compare as far as accuracy is concerned. My personal experiences with Remington and Savage have not been anything great. I have...

      Will the .450 Marlin go obsolete soon?

      Thanks for your reply Sandman. I also have 2 45/70's. One H&R single shot and a Marlin 1895. I do not handload so when the 450 Marlin came out it offered better factory ammo ballistics. I am not counting Buffalo Bore or Cor-bon as they are too pricy. I am thinking for a while I will be able...

      Will the .450 Marlin go obsolete soon?

      I own a Marlin 1895 lever action(Guide gun) in .450 Marlin. Marlin no longer lists this caliber in their current catalog. Browning lists it as available in their BLR model in their 2011 catalog. Since I do not reload-should I start stocking up on factory ammo. Hornady, Corbon and buffalo bore...

      Want oopinions on Savage 17 HMR rifle

      I have a .17 hmr in a CZ 453 rifle. I really love the set trigger on it. Puts them in the same hole @ 100 yards. Have not shot it @ 200, but I see no problem doing so. Would love to shoot a coyote with it.

      CZ 453 American cal. 22 LR

      I have CZ 453 in .17 HMR with a 4X12X40 Redfield scope. It groups less than one inch @ 100 yards. I love that set trigger. Also I have 2 centerfire CZ model 550's. They are also great shooters.

      Rifle question to all hunters and riflemen

      I have heard bad things about the Remington 770. I owned a Savage that would not group at all. Probably a lemon. I have many rifles in a number of major brands. My Weatherby Vanguard is an excellent rifle and certainly bargain priced-very accurate. I own both Tikkas and CZ's and they are...

      My CZ 550 shoots great

      I have 2 model 550 CZ rifles. One is in .243 Winchester and the other is in .375 H&H. Both are extremely accurate. I enjoy using the set triggers at the range and use the regular trigger pull when hunting. The .375 is so well balanced and designed that the recoil is not as bad as some .338...
