Great deer rifle/handgun combo for here in Kentucky. You will have to work up a load that works well in both the revolver and the rifle. Make sure you get a pre-safety rifle.

And you wondered where the Marque De Sade retired to. Good luck with your new hip.

Well, no one else has commented on this so I guess I will. Evacuation by Air Ambulance? That sounds a little extreme for a gunshot to the hand. I have good insurance, but I suspect they would balk...

For all you guys that use a drill bit, try the heated paper clip. Get it red hot and just touch it to the nail. It will melt right through and if you had a gentle touch will not contact the flesh...

Give him a big welcome home hug for us. Ft. Bliss is he a medic?
Dean, I can say this Ironsighter in El Paso does an excellent job of rebuilding the Weavers. I just got one back and it looks like new.
Will a steel tube Weaver stand up to the recoil of 375 H&H Magnum in a 98 Mauser? I've got a nice Weaver with a #1 German Reticle and would like to put it on the 375, but I do not want to ruin a...

I have been retired 7 years and I am constantly amazed that I ever had time to work. The good thing is I do get in more shooting time. My goal for 2014-15 is to reduce my "part-time" farming and...

1st, You did the right thing! In a situation like that, you help until better help arrives. Even if the better help are a**es about.
2nd, Your on the right path, always carry a first aid kit and...

No offense taken here, but my experience was my tiller motor over rev'ed for about 10 seconds before it threw a rod. I'm not the best small engine mech', so I took it to the guy I use to find out...

A second or a third on not using gas with a higher octane than 87. This is a $500 experience speaking. I ruined a tiller motor using 91 octane ethanol free gas. It is the only ethanol free gas...

GRRRRR Grumble, Grumble, GRRRR! You guys just rub my sore spot. 42 years of marriage and my wife has only claimed one gun, a 1969 6" Blue Steel Colt Python. For a guy with 27 pistols, she had to...

Several comments have been made about 105's, 175's, and 8" artillery pieces in the current inventory. I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that the Army had standardized on 155's both...

Yes, he was a Captain in the Navy, but it was the Austrian Navy not the KregsMarine. He left Austria to join the British Navy to fight the Nazis.

As others have said, "stuff" can be replaced and you will always have your memories. I can not say you will never get over your loss, but after time it gets considerably better. We lost our "dream...
One note on a bench cover. I was given an old metal carport and put over my bench. You really need ear plugs and ear muffs when you are under a metal roof. I suspect wood might be better, but I am...

I have a Winchester 94AE in .45 Colt. It is a good gun, but not near the gun a Marlin CB in .45 Colt is. I have both, and no one is not for sale. Sorry, I have 2 grandsons who are very lucky boys.
I made mine out of 4" square tubing, 6" channel iron, and a poured concrete top. Make a Tee of 6" channel iron and weld 3 each 4" legs on the ends of the tee. You will need to add some type of...

I have several .45-70's, but the one I like best is a Baikal SP 221. It is a SXS Double barrel and is a sweet shooter. Light, easy to point, and surprisingly very little recoil. It makes a great...
