Cute Picture Nice shot with your daughter. What memories are made of.

California regulations It gets better Len. The clerk at the gun shop asked me what kind of a gun safe I owned as I am filling out forms for my "assult" rifle. He approached with yet another form that demanded I bring my gun safe into the shop (seriously) to be examined to make sure it was in...

Finally got to see them up close... After looking at all Volquartsen models available, I settled on the snake fluted, forward blow, compensated model. It is is a very striking gun, and I'm just watching the hours pass until the 10 day wait period is up. The light weight model with the carbon...

Thanks Len. I will see if I can compare the two. Any idea where Bushnell is have their scopes made these days? Appreciate the feedback on stock selection and I am going to go with a laminate. I may well have an extra Volquartsen laminated stock as I am thinking about replacing what comes on...

Nice looking .243 Fox, very nicely proportioned combination. What is your max range with it and do you think there is a better scope out there for the money? I will need to send the scope back to Burrris to have a ballistic plex or mildot reticle put in as the silver finish comes with only the...

Sure Len, I may pick the gun up today so I would be interested on any potential scope for it. If you have any opinion on the Burris I mentioned earlier I'd like to hear that also. What kind of optics did you put on yours? This Volquartsen will likely not see much work under 50 yards (but you...

Thanks Tom. I am just going to pick up some rings and stick it on the reciever.

I am looking at the Deluxe model and the snake fluted high $ model. I really like the looks of the deluxe but a local North CA dealer has a bunch in stock, so I am headed down there this Saturday to figure out what exactly I want. Volquartsen makes 25 round mags for, if I remember correctly...

Cooper Just looked at their site. Very nice. The western classic looks very close to a custom .270 my grandfather built for me. I have gotten hooked on semi-autos though having been weaned on a little Browning .22 auto. Great variety also, even more than Volquartsen. Just a roundabout way...

Thanks Fly. I came to the same conclusion about just going ahead and springing for the whole gun, given I am fussy and suffer from OCD when it comes to my sporting equipment... On cleaning recomendations, I assume Volquartsen is concerned about crown damage from the cleaning rods? Dam, fishing...

Burris Fullfield 2, 4.5-14x42 A/0 for .17HMR I would like to hear from anyone using this scope (rimfire or center fire) and opinions on it. It can be had for about $350 online and I am looking at the ballistic plex or mildot reticle. I will need to send it to Burris as the scope does not come...

Does anyone else out there own a Browning .22lr Automatic? I have a Belgian gun from '67 in excellent condition and am considering putting a Leopold 2-7 compact on it that I already own. I'd like to know if any of you have mounted scopes on this gun (I just can't see the iron sights well...

Hi, new member to the site, and would like to solicit some opinion on the Volquartsen .17HMR. I am looking specifically at the fluted & compensated models (both the "snake" and regular fluted models). I would love to hear from anyone on the following: 1) Overall feedback on the Volquartsen...
