Lately one of my favorite plinking targets are the shale chips on the backstop of the 25/50yd. ranges. They range in size but are usually about thumb size and really stand out on the dark earth...

Murph, if I remember right, the ''average'' price on these rifles is right around $500.00 right now. Last fall I gave $400.00 for a like new 1975 581 at a show figuring I did okay. I looked at a...

Hey, my Marlin 39A is a twin to yours, and a '69 build also. They are great rifles but I must stand by my original pick of my Remington 121 pump action as my funest. It just has a fit that makes it...

DP would be Sept. 1967. American Walnut stock, no serial number, and a small oval ejection port? Tube fed model is a 582.

I checked Jim Reed's site out a while ago and no mention of a steel magazine for 581 or any other Remington that takes that magazine.

No doubt about that! They're great rifles, a genus design, scaling down a 788 center fire to .22rf.
I might be interested in a 788 next in .223, .22-250, or maybe .243.

No matter how small or out of the way, it pays to go to local gun shows. This is a fairly new show at a Gun club about an hour and a half away. My first time there, two rooms of vendors, probably...

Unless you're shooting International competition glass bed the breech area up to just forward of the lock mortise. Will usually fix them. Who made it, or what brand? (just curious)
If shooting...

Never trust ''Old Man Winter'', he's very deceitful and a known liar! One day you're enjoying a warm sunny day basking in 60's, even 70's temps, and the next day you could be shoveling out from a...

Yes, I've looked into them. All sold out. .22WMR available though.
I have a .223Wylde BC upper that shoots very well indeed. I may just get on the list for a .22...

Midway has them on sale for $159.99, 3 25rd. magazines included. Are they at least somewhat reliable and how accurate are they with decent ammo?

I've mostly seen .30/40 Krag called .30 Army as that was the military branch that adopted it. The Navy and Marines adopted the 6mm Lee about the same time.

Yesterday I had to log into all my favorites. The Ruger forum does seem to have a problem right now, posted pics aren't showing up for the most part, and it isn't just me, lots of others are having...

Other, a Remington 513T is a fun, accurate, and affordable toy. .22Lr food, price for a nice one still hasn't surpassed $800. (around $650. seems to be about average right now). Genuine American...
The first recoil ''stories'' I've heard of came with the S&W .357 Magnum when introduced in 1935. I've owned a 4'' S&W M-28 and I consider it a pleasant shooting revolver as far as recoil goes, it's...
I noticed mine don't fit perfectly at the top, but it's not a problem. I wonder if yours is bad enough to cause a problem.
I just remembered, the worst gun for me was a S&W 3'' M-13-3 round...
I carry a S&W 4'' 629-3 with a set of Hogue ''fancy'' wood grips on it when outdoors. They're smooth Goncalo Alves with finger grooves and fit very well. Not only are they comfortable, but help...

They were excellent rifles, some of the best .22 bolt actions ever made. I had a 512 as a kid, it went with me about everywhere I went. Modest price, great design, and quality build. I much...

That's three fine .22 rifles you have there, Rod! I'm sure each one is a pleasure in it's own way.
