    Another fine gun to consider is the Ruger 77/357 bolt action. Bit pricey, but the little bugger is a hoot! You have to put some effort into locating one, but in my mind, it's worth it. I have a red...

    First and foremost, when haggling, is not to come off as being a jerk. The seller's hackles rise and you lose leverage. If I see something that I wish to haggle over, I make every attempt to...

    I feel the cartridge plays a big role in what the sighting arrangement should be. A 7mm PRC or 22-250 really aren't going to live up to their potential with iron sights. But the chosen rifle plays...

    TC Encore Barrels

    An email from EABCO got we wondering. They have a new batch of barrels available in such chamberings as .375 Win, 450 Marlin, and 6.5x47. Yet, barrels for popular offerings have a 6 to 9 month wait....

    Remington 7mm Express Included In A Recall

    Freedom Arms Brass

    Not to hijack this thread, but since the topic is Freedom Arms.... I have a 50 round box of 454 Casull brass with an "FA" headstamp. Did they offer their own line of ammo at one time?

    I am a big fan of the 480 Ruger. My son bought a Ruger Super Redhawk several years ago and we have accumulated a fair amount of brass and bullets for it. Sadly, brass and loaded rounds are like...
