ares armor makes an interesting 80% frame if you really want to back up even a step further and finish off your own frame. I've never used so I can't comment on quality.

Another vote for a Witness. I own a number of 'budget' 1911s- mainly RIAs and love them all. However for the money, the witness is nice. also it is one of the few witnesses that come in 10 round...

I sight in from the bench, rest of my shooting throughout the year is off-hand or field position (I never shoot from a knee, it just doesn't come up for the way I hunt).
I do practice with 2...

I too have been curious about a nice SWC profile, or even a RNFP or TC design. I have had good luck with 357 shooting heavy 180gr LSWC that were good on deer, but that was only 1 animal and 1...
I ordered up a savage 220, I had terrible luck with an encore 20 gauge barrel I had (and a few other encore barrels to be honest) kinda scared me off of them for a while.

For what it is worth, I have a CVA Accura (v1) that does really well with 110gr loose pyrodex and 250gr powerbelts. Wish I found a cast that shot as well in it. Just haven't found one that grouped as...

Thanks all! Shot didn't pass all the way through- broke apart in the chest cavity (jacket / core separation)- didn't get a pic as I was too excited calling and bragging on the phone to use the camera...

The Rossi Trifecta (22lr, 243, & 20ga) is a tough to beat all around combo. Some of the old savage m24 combo guns can also be great.
Then again, for 300 bucks you could buy a couple handi-rifles...
I'm a plus-size fellow, and I've had good luck with old duty holsters that drop the gun slightly away from the body around 3 o'clock (9 if you are lefty). I find this doesn't interfere with my...

I know it wasn't a CB kill, but I just harvested a nice mature doe with a 45acp 230gr Federal Hydra-shok out of my full-sized 1911. Shot was 28 paces and was DRT. This wasn't the fancy new version or...
I've had good luck with a lee TC that drops pretty heavy with my alloy (245gr+/-) with 5.5 gr of unique loaded as long as my barrel will allow. YMMV, and it isn't in my published load books so...
Salutations fellow CBers~
I'm looking for a new shotgun in 20 gauge for deer season, and I was hoping to go with a rifled setup. I have had a 20 gauge encore, and it was an utter disappointment. ...

I haven't seen 22 ammo in big box stores by me in a few years now. I gave up even looking. I laid into a lot of 22 around 2005-2007 buying 1 brick to save and 1 brick to shoot every time I could. I...

I never had a problem on any AR I used with 22lr. I shot thousands of rounds before going back to full caliber rounds. Worst scenario I encountered was the first few rounds were a bit smokey as...
I had 2 security sixes- one in 2-3/4 and another in 4in. Sold the 2-3/4, will never part with the 4. Sometimes I miss the snub, but I never found a good rig to carry it well. I'd love to come across...

I have one of these, loved it so much I did the dance to make it compliant in NYS. Mine does not use the oly mag block - but instead has the welded tabs on the back of the mags to fill out the AR mag...
I have a citadel compact and an RIA tac in 9mm - no experience with STI. I did have to have the barrel recut on the citadel. it wouldn't feed all JHP and some fat lead reloads. After 2 bucks to send...
Long ago (2008 to be exact) I asked the board about the EAA match. Mike in Co and others sagaciously said that though an EAA is nice, hold out for a cz if possible.
Time passed and I didn't think...

another handgun hunter here. Still haven't figured out the perfect setup, but have taken deer with the 357 mag, 44 mag, and 7mm-08 all out of handguns. I might do some heavy 45acp+P stuff for some...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I have taken deer with a a few encore calibers (7mm-08 in a 15in barrel & 44mag in a 10 in barrel) as well as a 357 mag revolver. I much prefer hundgun hunting, and have little desire to do anything...
Forum: Military Rifles
to be honest, the 300 aac blackout was attractive to me because I could use my NY compliant high capacity mags. That makes sense for a lot of us in ban states.
parrot green nail polish- usually about a dollar or two. Put a base coat of white and enjoy :)

I love the butt out! make sure you have a separate bag to store it in after use. I also carry alcohol wipes to clean up after dressing game.
As I have bad allergies, I also bring a couple benedryl...

great pics! I'm surprised no one uses Rokons in the bunch. My GF is from NSW.
