    New Ruger's for 2013

    If I'm remembering what I read last night, they supply the gun with a threaded weight and cap. The weight is supposed to maintain the same weight and POI as having the brake. The cap is also available to go au naturel.

    Remington 2013

    Ahhh... war wounds on walnut. It actually is kinda funny. In 2011, my younger son (Now 14), being a southpaw, hunted with a really nice Marlin 336 30-30 that my dad left me. It has been kept in immaculate condition as my dad lived in So CA and never had much opportunity to hunt, let alone make...

    Got a couple of new 22's

    I disagree 100%!!! I'm interested to get a report about how that Henry handles for you. Mine does not have the octagonal barrel but has a hooded front sight. And the Ruger... well, I am a fan of Rugers. I think, between it and the 22a, you picked the better of the two. Nice grabs on both guns...

    New Ruger's for 2013

    They could drop the whole American line and not hurt my feelings a bit. I'm excited to see the 416 African. I was hoping to see a SR45C on the list but maybe a compact version will be coming later.

    Black Rifles (Or Maybe Not)

    Here are my two entry level build/kit guns. The lower of the top gun is a DoubleStar. The bottom lower is a Surplus Arms & Ammo. Both kits were ordered from J&T Distributing (and I believe J&T is, or is in cahoots with, Doublestar as both kits were labeled as such). Both are 223/5.56. The bottom...

    grips - J frame .38

    Huh... I didn't even check where they were from, Charlie. I was looking for the first set that had the style, grain, and color that would get my blood pumping. I took a peek at the feedback for that seller. They've had 2 complaints regarding inletting (the only two non positives in the last year...

    Oh I do like this!

    Fotis, I'm ashamed to say I have only had time to glance at a box of Hornady brass, pills, dies, and Barnes pills sitting on my reloading bench. From all the online comparisons I've seen between the 375s, the Ruger keeps up well. I know Gerry has one with a 20" barrel that he likes pretty well...

    Remington 2013

    Hodgeman mentioned a rifle lasting for generations. My father-in-law succumbed to the temptation sometime around 04 or 05 and picked up a 710 in 30-06. I wasn't quite the gun nut then that I am now, but even back then it still oozed of... cheapness? I just didn't like the way it felt. It shot...

    Picked up an SR1911

    I'm always cautious on that front! I'd say if you're picking it up for a deal, heck yeah! Full price... well that's almost foul language to me! It does seem to be well built like most other Rugers. In the world of 1911s, I'm sure it can still use some work to get it up to snuff for the more...

    Check this baby!..Nice rifle!

    BUY IT! I guess I'm warming up to SS cause I'm liking that rifle, Scotty!

    A New .17 Caliber RIMFIRE cartridge!

    Not sure Dewey. I'd suspect Winchester will have have some offerings, but they don't seem to have a commanding presence in the rimfire market. I'm kinda curious myself.

    Remington 2013

    I'm gonna take a little different viewpoint and give the Big Green SubPar Quality Control Machine a little credit here. From what I'm seeing here, this is an honest to goodness decent rifle. I don't mean to start a flame war over other offerings from Remington, but no one will ever be able to...

    MARLIN 39-A

    I saw Henry mentioned. I picked up a Henry H001 a couple years back. I only went with the Henry because I simply couldn't swing the price for something along the lines of the 39-A. I don't regret it at all. It is a well built rifle (and US made as Charlie pointed out), finished quite decently...

    A New .17 Caliber RIMFIRE cartridge!

    Everything about this round seems to be pretty darned good. A LOT more velocity in similar weight bullets plus the option of going substantially heavier, in relative terms of course. Like Homer points out, cost may be the deciding factor. I only stock up on HMR ammo when it's on sale or offering...

    Oh I do like this!

    Hey Fotis, when I was searching for a 375, I had found myself leaning towards the 375Ruger for a few different reasons. That Savage was one I had on my list but mainly for price. I was really wanting a CRF and being a fan of Ruger rifles, handguns, and to a lesser degree the Red Label O/U, I was...

    Which semi auto 22 lr?

    I can't speak of any first hand issues... only things I read several years ago. But it did give me enough pause to go the Beretta route. I did re-read your OP and realized you may already be settled on the SW. If so, I hope it serves you well!

    Which semi auto 22 lr?

    I am simply not a fan of the SW. I don't care for it aesthetically speaking and early on in the 22a's life I had read many negatives about its finish flaking off. That prompted me to go with the equally priced and equally unappealing looking pistol in the Beretta Neos. It can be embarrassing to...

    It's not all bad.....

    Here, the usual places for good prices are getting bare (same as 22LR). One shop really close to me still has huge amounts of stuff, but they also charge considerably for it and always have.

    Keeping brass separated

    That's a great idea!!! I've got one sitting in my tool box doing nothing... I may need to put it to good use.
