    6mm GT Rifle recommendations

    Years ago I was on the hunt for a 300-yard (and in) woodchuck rifle. Found The Shooters Corner in Lake Hoptcong, NJ. Mom & Pop store owned & operated by a Benchrest medal holder and top gunsmith Bob White. I settled on a gently used Sako single shot rifle in 6PPC that cloverleafs @ 200 yds...

    Range report: Colt Competition

    The NM barrel means a lot. Properly done, team armorers would hand-fit them. You probably know this, but one of the NM hallmarks is a throated chamber face. I just robbed a few pics online to illustrate this, but the non-NM barrels have a standard, smaller chamber face as historically they...

    1924 Winchester .32 win special.

    Tinman…Personally, I’d hold out for a 30-30. Much more versatile and if you reload, the sky’s the limit, concerning .308” heads. Have my Dads’ 1954 Win 94 Carbine he bought when he got back from Korea. Just for S’s & G’s I pulled down some foreign 30 Carbine 110 gr heads, and reloaded with...

    Fishing thread

    Early this week I went across the LI sound from Port Chester and was surrounded by about 50 Dolphins. Couldnt beleive my eyes. Heard them exhaling as they were swimming. Here’s a grainy pic but managed to get some great video.

    I think I own two Bald Eagles

    there’s a big male Bald eagle right by the Port Chester harbor (Long Island sound) where i keep my boat. Seen him twice so far this year cruising around. Once being tormented by an Osprey, which there are many of.

    Savage Model 1899 questions

    Nice piece.. Looks like a custom Griffin and Howe scope base mounted to receiver. (Or one of several different makers). looks like a takedown version , seeing that front inch of separate receiver.. Special order wood, checkering & Engraving make that a real beauty. Very nice of your Dad.

    **UPDATED**: Officer Involved Shooting in the Town of Deerpark, Orange County

    Looks like a Marksman repeater BB pistol, missing the rear cocking slide. Still have a couple somewhere. Think you could throw the BB faster than they shot it.

    How to purchase 1911 pistols through restarted Civilian Marksmanship Program

    Been following these since they started selling them in 2018.

All luck of...

    Reloading Press Quandary - What to do???

    Another Dillon fan here. Have a Square Deal B since the 1990’s and it’s been flawless. Service is second to nome.

    DONE FS: Troy Industries Folding Front Battle sight, exc. cond. $65 shipped..pics

    Came to me on an upper and I’ll never use it. Strong %95 + condition, and never fooled with or modified. Works perfectly and front post is height-adjustable like a A2 front sight. Still has the original grease in its underside. Check pics and ask any questions. These are about $110 plus...

    Reflex Sights

    That top mounted battery option is huge. That’s the difference between a Burris FastFire 2 and 3. For a little more $$$ you can get a FastFire 3 used. Have one on my S&W 44 mag and it’s been great. But for the money the Zulisy looks good. There’s also an adapter ( Speedbead) made that goes...
