My sentiments exactly! If we only had one maker of 1911s, we'd have nothing to discuss, bicker, or argue about! I am rather fond of Ruger, in general, and was glad to see them enter market. Now if they'd give us a pump and/or semiauto shotgun, all would be right with the world.

I've never cared much for anything but the normal grips on a 1911. I do have a spare set that I can probably toss on to save the original set. Something I didn't give a whole lot of thought to until you mentioned that, so thank you! The trigger... I'm hoping it won't bother me Range report...

I'll give ya $20 and cover shipping! Have you checked what they're going for on GB or eBay?

Here's my tear jerker.... That was at a local auction about month or so ago. Before I divulge exactly what that is, I'll say I'm more of a shotgun fan than rifle fan. At the same auction was a Benelli Montefeltro 20ga that had my complete attention. I scored that one for about $550. But that...

Classic? I see a levergun. Probably a 94. But even though it's only been around for 60 or 65 years, I'd toss the 336 in the mix as well. On the subject of classic guns, We were duck hunting on the snake river. My friend's "new"ish boat is loaded down with decoys, mojos, dogs, guns, us.... we...

Fotis, I likely woulda passed... partly because I haven't been bit by the #1 bug... yet and partly because for where and what I hunt, I'd like a little horsepower. It is a fine round, though and perfectly capable of doing most of what anybody would ask of it. The other strike I put against the...

Perceived recoil really does vary a lot from person to person. I'm 6'5" and 265. My wife is 5'3" and 120. Take a guess which one of us prefers to shoot my M77 300WM! I'll do a 1/2 box of ammo and call it quits. She does 2 boxes and asks if I brought any more ammo. Recoil charts and tables only...

Nice gun? I saw pics of your Kimber on another thread... that's a nice gun! I'm not quite ready for a Kimber yet. I could probably do a Custom II, but the aesthetics of it don't do a whole lot for me... which doesn't say much... I also want a Chiappa Rhino... Likely towards the top of the list...

Just got an email from CLNY. Conquests are on sale and Rapid Z reticles get an extra $100 rebate... $329 for a 3-9x40 with the Rapid-Z.... Camera Land is bringing the Holiday Savings to you Early Zeiss Conquest Riflescope Sale of Sales This is a wonderful opportunity to get that...

Through some horse trading at the gun shop today, I picked up a Ruger SR1911. One of my trades was a two-tone aluminum alloy framed Taurus 1911. I actually really liked that gun, especially for the bargain that I picked it up for... not to mention it's lighter weight (32oz). Although I like the...

I saw a couple of those on the shelf... I did get to drooling a bit. They were both SS and wearing that boat paddle stock. I thought my 338 needed a little brother. But alas, I had to pass for the time being.

Sell it on eBay! I bought a Vanguard VGL in 270Win this last year that had a Vari-X IIc 3-9 on it. I saw they were commanding a fair amount so I pulled it, threw it on eBay and got 210+ for it. I used that and a few extra bucks to fund a Minox from CLNY. Just a thought.... :grin:

Indeed. Are you in the market or just thinking out loud? I just recall shopping for my first non-trachco/simmons/barfka scope and compared the rifleman to the Nikon PS. I thought the Nikon outdid the Rifleman in just about every way... including price. And currently there are some great options...

Don't mean to step on the toes of any Leupy fans but... I believe one is trash and the other is junk. I'm not sure if the VX-1 has 1/4" click adjustments or not, but last time I looked (which was a few years back) the rifleman had 1/2" click adjustments. I'm sure there are some other...

I'll have to point out your post is sheer nonsense! LOL! Matter of fact it correlates directly to model designation of each of those #1's... it B.S.! :lol: Now hopefully you will retract your statement to smooth out the wrinkle you caused in the space-time continuum!

I was at Cabela's today and saw a 10-22 sporter. The fella in the gun library saw me checking it out and asked if I had a 10-22. "I've had four or five over the years, but currently I have two... I'm not sure if I need a third," I said. He shared with me a similar pearl of wisdom... "You can...

Personally, I'd like to see something that tops out at 12 or 15 on top of a 25-06. Like I broken record, I'd look to an open box deal on a minox ZA5 first. But some others that I'd look at would be a Viper 4-12, Viper HS 4-16, and if you were OK with a 50mm... the Meopta Meopro 4-12.

I have duplicates on shotguns and 30 cals... that's not to say I don't have 4 7mm rifles, but my wife uses (almost never) a 7x57, my son a 7mmMag, my daughter a 7-08, and a 7WSM for myself. Guns for family members is great excuse for duplicates! I guess I do have 3 22 cal centerfires but each is...

Oh I understand you weren't bashing... and that is one reason I'm liking this forum so far... seems like a pretty decent group of guys and gals that can get along pretty well... and the ones that can't seem to be swiftly taken care of by the mods. The Marlin in 45-70 is one of the rifles that...

Just merely stating my mileage on the issue.... I used to top out a 308Win. I went on a quest for an 06 and came across a bargain on a 300WM and bought my first magnum. Many years and guns later, a friend of mine summed up what very well what has become my outlook based on my conditions... I get...
