    What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

    Best shot I ever made was swimming cottonmouth at 50 yards, head-shot, in the rain, Ruger 10/22. Shot an antelope at 560 yards, 300 H&H. Nothing compared to most here.

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    We'll be there at the same time, although not in Polebridge but still near the West entrance. S&W 686, Model 19, Sig P320, all with Buffalo Bore.

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    This guy has been around a while, and he doesn't talk about CNS hits. If it's TLDR, he used 147gr Flat Nose Buffalo Bore in a 9mm, but usually carries a .357. Same behind the shoulder shots as we would use when hunting.

    Colorado Is Going NUTZ - Anti Gun Legislation

    They still buy groceries, though; at least the middle class and below. Those are the ones who may bolt. Probably just dreaming though.

    Colorado Is Going NUTZ - Anti Gun Legislation

    Potential bright spots. It's remarkable what DeSantis has done in Florida; from toss-up to solid Red. Low crime, no sexualizing kids, no DEI, no coddling of Hamas, etc. We could have had that but a few Iowans said no. Also, it seems folks generally who typically vote solid D like unions...

    Thanks so much. She's lived in Korea, Netherlands, Germany, France, NY, GA, and now settled in Kansas. And you know what that means; SIL is career Army, retiring with 24 years in next year. Already got her wearing cowgirl boots; time for a nice hat with a feather. I'll PM you. This is an...

    Ruger American barrel and Stock for shipping costs

    I have new Ruger American .308 take off barrel and LEFT HAND plastic stock if anyone needs them. But please, actually build a rifle for a kid, 4H or something. Or for yourself if you need it. There is no action so no FFL costs. If you feel the need to reciprocate, wouldn't mind a turkey...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    Other than the Mini 14, had a Model 70 Super Express 300 WM; gorgeous wood, CRF. Wouldn't shoot. Multiple powders, bullets primers. Bedded it. No change. Took it to a friend of ours just getting into gunsmithing. Chamber and barrel misaligned. New barrel, blueprinting, good ever since. While...

    Rifle for Granddaughter

    Heck yeah; you build rifles! On a more serious note, I have a .308 Ruger American take-off barrel, never been fired, and the LEFT HAND plastic stock it came with. Was going to just offer them up for shipping costs, but what are the rules on shipping barrels now?
