    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    Thanks for the replies. I probably wouldn't buy a Kimber either. I have heard too many bad things about them for some of it not to be true. I have owned 2 Springfield 1911's in the past but now I only have a Les Baer UTC. I have been thinking about buying another range officer or loaded. I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    How do Kimber 1911's compare to other brands such as Springfield or STI? It seems that Kimber gets a lot of bad publicity. I have several friends that have Kimber 1911's and all of them are happy with them. What is are the reasons they have so many bad things said about them? They sure have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Reliability Round Count

    Thanks for the replies. I always thought a couple hundred rounds was enough. I have read about some people shooting several thousand rounds and still not be able to make a decision it the pistol was suitable for carry. It was interesting to see what others do though.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns XDS Recall Question

    Thanks for the replies. I was hoping that by waiting as long as I did to send it in that they would be about done with the recall and I would get mine back quicker. Also, there is no Fedex within 45 miles of here. Hopefully I will have it back in a few months.

    Stock Hook

    Thanks for the replies. I shot rifles with both stock styles yesterday. After changing to the squeeze type bag I like the hook style better. With a Triad wedge the butt hook stock is rock solid from the bench. Now to decide McMillan or Manners.

    Stock Hook

    I hope to get a custom rifle built sometime next year. I can't decide If I like the stock hook or not. I have recently changed to a Triad wedge bag from a protector sand bag. I took my stock pack off my rifle and am beginning to appreciate the hook. This has allowed me to use my atlas on the...

    Hunting & Fishing Hornady SST vs Nosler Ballistic Tip

    Does one of these bullets have any advantage over the other for killing deer? I have always shot the ballistic tips but a lot of friends use the SST's. I know both bullets are good but I just wanted to see other peoples opinions.

    Hunting & Fishing 223/5.56 for deer. Who here does it !

    I have been using the Barnes 62gr ttsx for several years now with good results. People like to give me a hard time about my caliber choice around here. My friends at work tell me to call them when I lose one and they will come help me look. I haven't needed any help yet though. I don't think...

    Tikka 223 New Twist Rate

    Thanks for the replies. The only rifle I could find was a 10 twist. It is my Dad's Christmas present. I had originally wanted to get him a Savage 10 PC 9 twist but He said he liked the Tikka better and would be fine with the twist rate. We have two 9 twist 223s and both will shoot the 77gr...

    Scuba Tank For Air Rifle

    Thanks for the replies. You can really run into some serious money with the PCP guns. I will have to check if anyone around here can fill a 4500 psi tank. I also had not considered that filling the tank might be a problem since I don't have a diver card. Sometimes I wish I had never bought...

    Rifle Scopes I Can't Zero My Scope On My Air Rifle

    Thanks for the replies. The rifle had a 11mm dovetail base machined into the receiver. After looking around a few of the airgun forums I have decided all I need to do is get another base.
