    What's Wrong With a Beretta 92 FS?

    Title says it all. Personally I think it's a real nice handgun for a reasonable price, yet I very rarely hear it mentioned on the forum. I was strongly considering one when I move to KY this Spring/Summer. Talk to me.

    Opinions wanted re: Colt M4

    I am considering the purchase of an AR- style rifle next year, when I change my residency to the great state of Kentucky. The new manufacture Colt M4 flat top has caught my eye, includes 1-30 rounder, and I was wondering if Colt still made a quality rifle. I had a Colt AR-15 Sporter in the...

    28 Gauge 3" Magnum

    So, I haven't seen any discussion on this. (If I missed it somehow, I apologize). Anyone besides me notice that Benelli offers their Ethos model shotgun in 28 gauge with a 3" chamber? And that Fiocchi catalogs 28 gauge 3" shot shells for it? I'm kinda hard pressed to figure out the why. What...

    The Buck I Missed Last Year

    I missed a nice buck last year, but not with my rifle. As is my habit, I hunt every day. Mostly all day. We got a cold snap this past season, in the teens. That's cold in the morning. It snowed a good 10-12" overnight one night.. In the morning I went down to the property trail to blast a...

    RAR All-Weather .308 Project Progress

    The story so far: I decided to add the Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14×50 CDS scope that I already had, as an additional scope on this rifle , for long range hunting. Took some digging, as Warne had discontinued their Tactical rings for 1" tube scopes a couple years ago ( they still offer 30mm). Got...
