I have owned two Rossi 92's. The first was a 20" stainless .44 Magnum that had the infamous overbore. It could be a little picky about cycling certain ammo and I sold it because of the overbore. According to Nate Kiowa Jones the new production Rossi in .44 Mag. does not have the overbore proble...

That was a great exhibition of car control. Those cars are all wheel drive and he uses the rear hand brake to rotate the car in those 180-360 degree turns. I used to run gymkhana (we just called it slalom back then) in my younger years. It looked nothing like that though :o . My runs usually lasted ...

When I saw the topic line, the first thing that popped into my head was Winchester 333/555. You mentioned that in your post, as have others. I agree. It shoots very well in my Henry, and everything else. I rate it as the best bulk ammo I have found. Federal 510 (aka Lightning) are good also.

I have basically the same rifle. It started out as the non-thumbhole varmint model, but I have since swapped a Boyd's thumbhole laminate for the original stock. Since the swap I haven't been able to get the accuracy I had before, so I need to bed it when I get a chance. They are very accurate rifles...

I know little about muzzleloaders and have never even heard of an underhammer, but my guess is the underhammer was designed that way to keep your powder dry

. Whatever the reason, it is a neat firearm.

Long time Braves fan here. I don't see how anyone can beat the Hateful Phillies. I would love to see my Bravos and Texas in the WS.

Yep, I agree, the movie and book are both great. It is interesting that others agree with my opinion that it is one of the few movies based on a novel that is as good or better than the book.

I gave my son a Red Ryder when he was 6, the same age that I was when I got one.

When he turned 16 I gave him a Marlin 336, 30-30. So I made sure his first two guns were lever actions

. I think he wants a bolt action rifle next, but he still likes his 336.

Welcome to the forum! I am far from an expert. There are plenty real ones here that can offer good advice, but here is my experience. I had a 20" stainless Rossi 92 lever in .44 Magnum a few years ago. I sold it because Rossi had a run of .44 Magnums that were over bored, including mine. It was...

I tend to prefer the planes that were used in support of ground troops, everything from the C-130 Spectre, A-10 WartHog, A-1 Skyraider, P-38 Lightning, and the P-47 Thunderbolt.

RIHMFIRE is correct about preparations. And prepare 2-3 days early before the panic sets in. Gasoline in all vehicles and as many containers as you have. Food, water, ice, medicine, flashlight/radio batteries. Make sure your generator and chain saws are working. Get cash from the ATM. What you are m...

Solution: Move to Florida! The only salt we have here is in the air, if you live on the beach, but that is no longer a problem. Thanks to BP, all of that salt air has been replaced with an oily mist. Great for rust proofing

I received a notification from Midway this afternoon that bulk, Starline .357 brass was now available. I ordered a bag of 500 immediately.

What is surprising when comparing .35 Rem to .30 WCF is that at longer distances the .30-.30 retains more energy than the .35 Rem.

Yes. The long barrel reduces the velocity of the burnt gases as they exit the muzzle because it has extra volume in the bore to absorb more of the expanding gases. The bullet then has less pressure pushing it as it leaves the barrel resulting in a less violent pressure wave from the exiting gases. A...

Good to know. I've been looking for something to use that is more accurate than a .22 bolt action with Colibri's in it. I live in a suburban area, in a development, so any "regular" .22 is often much too loud. :( YK, That is why I bought the Ultra Lux. I have found that the Remington CBee...

66GTO

Speaking of quiet, I have a CZ Ultra Lux (28.6" barrel) and with CB's all you hear is the firing pin strike and the impact of the bullet. With subsonic .22 LR, it sounds like my son's 1000 fps Gamo air rifle. It is the next best think to having a suppressor, and may be as quiet as far as I know.

I haven't bought any, but they have received favorable reviews over at Rimfire Central. They are apparently pretty accurate. I have shot Aquila Colibri, CCI CB Longs, and Remington CeeBee's and have found the Aquila's to be the least accurate and the Rem. CeeBee's to be the most accurate. The loudne...
