You can reason about it but then you are leaving it up to the cop's reaction. They call it an attempt to defraud a merchant here. Although without the gun the cop is most likely just going to investigate to see what the reason was for the problem and see if it can be resolved. I was involved in a m...

Lots of restaurants call the police if someone tries to walk out without paying. If they say it's a "man with a gun" things could get complicated.

It's because cars, like guns, are evil.

Weaver now makes a steel tube fixed scope ($$$$) I think it's 4x. They discontinued the 2.5x.

With my 22 rifle I do most of my shooting at the indoor range at 50 ft. I have the Weaver 2.5-7x rimfire scope on there now. But I've always had trouble getting things in focus with it. If I focus on the target, the crosshairs are blurry or double image. If I focus the crosshairs, the target is blur...

Anybody have one of these? I just noticed them; it looks like a new line. How do they compare to the V series? I need a scope for my fancy 22 lr target model; normal use would be at 50 feet in the indoor range, so brightness is a plus. It would not get a lot of rough handling, I would probably not h...

before I got into shooting I almost went for archery instead. I used to shoot bow and arrow as a kid, but could never have even a bb gun. I'm glad I got into firearms but it may be time to take up archery.

I also have a Benjamin Sheridan and it's a nice break to take it into the forest.

Is it worth getting a stainless steel barrel for a rifle in a "barrel burning" caliber?

Do they last longer? I'm not talking about weather-resistance or rust. But do they outlast regular barrels in high velocity calibers like .243 ?

Currently lusting after the 10/110 Predator Max 1 in either 243 or 260 Rem. 24" barrel. I'm a sucker for the longer barrels. And it has an "Accustock". Whatever it is, it sure sounds good. http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/10PREDATORHUNTERMAX1 If I decide on 243, I could also c...

I'm in favor of zeroing to an odd distance that leaves you slightly high at 100 and slightly low at 200. Then you can put the crosshairs on any target from zero to 200 and you'll hit it. The added advantage of this is you start at 25 or 30 yards. If you set your scope dead on at 30 yards, it will al...

I still go to the indoor range every week and shoot some 22 lr. I generally shoot about 20 rounds a trip. I've come up with a new game that saves ammo - I put 1/4" yellow dots (cut out with a hole puncher) on a black background. I shoot until the dot disappears - sort of the opposite of "S...

Savage also sells a lefthanded version

that's why it caught my eye, and the lefty is wood and a little more expensive than the others.

Thanks, will check out the review.

Curious about the accuracy; I know it's for kids but it might fill the bill for me for a light hunter or, easy to carry on a bicycle if need be. Just want to know if it's got the accuracy of most any other .22 out there. Or any problems you know of.

El Chivo

I also thought of Savage immediately (I have a Mark II 22lr) because almost all have the Accutrigger, which you can set yourself. It has a leaf you encounter first as the take-up, and seems wonderful to me after all the levergun triggers. Haven't adjusted mine. I really think you could be satisfied ...

I have a self-defrosting freezer that actually lets things thaw out a little and then re-freezes them, it deteriorated the meat in about 8 months. Later I tried a tip from a Levergunner to keep the meat in a block of ice. The water on the outside dealt with the defrosting, but inside it stayed solid...

I sure stocked up on primers, not like most of you guys, but several years' worth for me (maybe five). However I'm not that well stocked on .22 lr, and there are only a couple brands I like. I have 1000 rounds and that's it. I can't outlast Obama with that. I MIGHT make it to the midterm elections t...

I believe it was Gordon Liddy who was discussing in his book that women are inherently better shots than men. It has to do with heartbeat, perhaps lower metabolism, that makes them steadier.

Better than a good day at work? One guy on the forum told about how he got up early to hunt, slid out of bed so as not to disturb his wife, and went out to his hunting spot.

Pitchy, next project is to design a wall mount for when you need more leverage (sizing 30 carbine or something). The press can slide into a plate which is mounted to the wall, then removed when done. You'll see when you get it. Bottom line is it can function like a regular mounted press. If you don'...

I heard about this, and if CNC's become fairly cheap like printers, entire guns could be made out of data available online. Also non-metal guns could be made, like the one in "In the Line of Fire". Of course you don't need CNC to make guns, but to have plans and CNC printing available woul...

I also go to Discount Tire/Tire America, for about the last 20 years. 4 sets in that time, and 3 have had wear credit refunded towards the next purchase. Also flats are fixed or replaced w/ no fuss, all I pay is $10 warranty fee on the new tire.

The .357 mdl 94AE does have it's own distinct lever. The only difference is the addition of the hole to attach the cartridge block. I put a lever from an old 30-30 in my .357AE because it was .025" thicker than the original that rattled around in the link like a piece of junk. In fact there is...

If the stop weren't detachable, would the lever fit thru the slot in the link?

I'd have to say yes, because I believe I did it with the lever out. There might have been cursing involved.

I saw it and decided to replace it and ordered three. That's the tinfoil thing I talk about. When I compared the new ones I saw about 1/3 had broken off.
