Not a 222, but I picked up a Savage 340, I believe E, in 22 Hornet two years ago. I haven't shot it a lot yet, but what I have done I'm very content with. It came with an older weaver fixed 8x, with...

Thanks Pietro, That was what I figured as well. It belonged to his grandfather, I told him he would probably be better off hanging it on the wall for sentimental reasons.

I grew up shooting a Rem model 760 in 270. Had a cheap 3x9 scope on it, I think it was a weaver. I probably fired my first 500 rifle rounds through that rifle before trading it off for a bolt action...

Marco,
Interesting question, just happens I recently seen a Ruger 44 carbine that had a similar issue.

This is what I prefer. Excellent product that keeps your gun very handy. It does not get covered by a back pack or other items that you may...
Congratulations on your choice,
I currently have a Ruger SS SBH has a 4.75 inch barrel in 45C. The gun gives up nothing in performance to any of the other 45C's I've owned with longer barrels....

I mounted my Lee turret press to an 18" piece of 2x12 and used two 4' c-clamps for over twenty years. Quickly and easily attached to a work bench, kitchen counter or table or wherever I wanted it in...

Come on now, don't be greedy, share this secret stores name and location. I haven't seen a store with more than two traditional ML's in years, and those are either very over priced or very cheaply...

It seems more likely the ball/patch and powder were loladed backwards than anythg else.
I have seen a ML fired with just the ball dropped down on the powder. It sounded like a normal ignition...

+1 for the Ruger LCRX
I took my wife to the LGS a couple years ago to buy her another handgun. Had it been me, I would have bought the Ruger LCRX it fit my hands better, but she picked the S&W...
Ibaize3, That's purdy! I'm liking the looks of this revolver. Curious how it will look wearing the Hogue's.

Gheeze have you ever priced used guns in Kansas? The price is normally within 15% of new prices. If it says Ruger, S&W, or Colt around here the prices start around 500 for used. If I found a S&W...

McCarthy,
That is a nice clean setup. Is that a magnified desk lamp?
