    Reticle preference

    Window shopping and daydreaming in Schmidt and Bender site, they have scopes that offer the reticle in either the first or second focal plane. Neophyte when it comes to high dollar optics. Advantages?

    Before Mattel

    On this forum because I admire the people running the show. As for agreeing with King Andy and his minions, I've driven to Albany several times to protest the safe act and imagine my name is already on a lot of government sh#tlists. If not, it will be the 3rd Friday in May. I just do not see...

    Before Mattel

    Would like to hear from some of the older members their thoughts on the present gun-grabbing. When I first started hunting, guns wore wood stocks and magazines carried 4 rounds. I understand that returning soldiers always adapt the platforms they work with daily to the civilian world. BUT, when...

    Sharps Rifle.....1500 yard kill?

    Saw an episode where a couple of the resident goofballs tried to split a .50 ball on a axe head from, I think 25 yards. After multiple failures, they figured it couldn't be done. Great fun for the kids to watch, not sure how much truth comes out.........

    About Resisting regulation

    Took me 50 years to make it to California, drove from here to there in 2011. Saw the wide open spaces you all have out there in the midwest and west and cried. Tried to explain to wife, she played the trump card (grandchildren all here). Think the 50 states are like children, you love something...

    About Resisting regulation

    I live in New York and am exceedingly nervous. As I understand Cuomo's Safe Act, my 7400 Remington is now an assault weapon because it will accept high capacity magazines, my ancient Remington Model 10 shotgun is borderline because it holds 6 shots and I'm worried about my thumbhole T/C stock...
