The only armadillo that I ever shot was with a 45-70. It managed to take it down with one shot.
My P32 is my main carry gun in a DeSantis pocket holster. I keep it loaded with FMJ factory loads. It has never jammed on me. It simply disappears in my right front pocket, even with an IPhone 11 in...

On Valentine’s Day, in 1965, when I was 7, my parents gave me a Daisy model 1894. Wish I still had it.
In the late 90’s, I purchased my first lever firearm, a Marlin 1895 45-70 Guide Gun. Now I have...

I think there’s a market for a Marlin Model 94 in .327 Federal Magnum. I have really enjoyed my Henry in this caliber. It also cycles .32 S&W Long very well.
This will take care of this power...

Daekar, I think you pretty well covered the reasons for a single shot. I have always loved single shot air rifles and I don’t think I’ve ever taken a second shot on wild game. My plan is to use this...

Today I finally received my Scout 300 Blackout. I had almost given up on it. My first thought is to install a B&L Elite 3200 2.5-10 scope that I have on hand. Then get some factory loads...

Back in the 1970’s a friend of mine who lived in a gulf coast city lived mostly on crabs and fish that he caught from the shore or wade fishing. He called it the best time of his life.

Researching the A17 in 17HM2, I am reading of a lot of dissatisfaction with the A17’s Accutrigger. Apparently it is much different than the Accutrigger in Savage’s bolt action rimfires with creep and...

I love my TX 200 .22, a beautiful, accurate, and robust rifle with a great trigger.

I would urge you to spend a little more and get a Beeman R7 made by Weirauch. Extremely accurate, easy to cock, very well made, and with the wonderful Rekord trigger, it will last you for years. I...

I only use them on my rifles that won’t readily take a scope like my Rossi R92, Winchester M94 XTR, and a Garand.
On the Rossi, I replaced the semi buckhorn with a Marble Bullseye for a huge...

I would rank the .22 lever actions in this order, 9422, BL22,39A.
With that being said, I dearly love my Henry H001L Classic with a 16” barrel and the large lever loop. Mine is accurate and...

It seems like those that own rifles in 17 HM2 love them, and those that don’t are skeptical. I can get a new Savage A17 HM2 for about $370 total in my hands. Cartridges are about .18 to .25 a round....

A friend has a 17 Remington. It is great for headshots on pigs, feral cats, and coyotes.

If I ran into a great deal on a 17 center fire, I would probably go for it.
Right now I’m kind of focused on this little A17 HM2 auto loader. Some of the places that I hunt squirrels only allow...

I appreciate the comments.
I currently have a vintage 10-22, a Brno Model One, and a Lakefield bolt action, so I am pretty well set for .22 Long Rifle.
I see 17 HM2 available for about $15.00 for...

I have my eye on a good deal on a Savage A17 in 17 HM2. It seems an ideal small game round with a 120 yard maximum point blank range. I see encouraging reports for accuracy, penetration, and...

I handled one of these recently at my LGS. It had the worst lever action feel that I had ever experienced. All of my lever actions,Winchester,Marlin,Henry, and Rossi put it to shame in lever action...

Where can I source a suitable barrel blank to chamber in .32 S&WL? Would a .308 barrel work? What range of twist weights are suitable for factory loads and cast boolit hand loads in the 90-130 grain...

Texas by God, I love this little folder. It is so light,slender, and well balanced. I believe it will be a pleasure to carry and hunt small game with.
I think I will get some brass .410 shells and...

Outpost75, thanks for the photos. That’s exactly what I would like to accomplish.An additional barrel in .45 Colt would be great to have since I handload that caliber also.
