Aquila makes a sub sonic .22 round with a 60 grain bullet that is a real accurate round.

A combination of words I never thought I'd read.

Ever since reading E. Keith write about the .25 Stevens rimfire I've been wishin it never went away. Would you have a link to that read please? N :) Nath I believe it was in the book "Sixguns" by Keith. Plus 1. As for why............. It's been covered before and some will never get it. M...

We had 4" on the ground at one point this morning, now it's down to 2" or less. Hate to wonder how much it would of been had the air temp been a couple degrees less not to mention if the ground wasn't 50 deg. Driving a daughter to school this morning all I could do was laugh as I plowed th...

FRONT wheel drive 4x2 ????????? OK, I can understand REAR wheel drive 4x2, but FRONT????? And how in the world did you find one with roll up windows? I thought those were extinct or special order only for an extra charge. Truth be known I like electric windows, but that's just me. Nice ride any way...

I've seen posts sayin most 10/22's being unreliable, I've seen post sayin Savage rifles are inaccurate, I've seen post sayin the .30-30 being too weak for deer and yes, I've seen post sayin the 870's is a a bad shotgun. I take em for what they're worth.. I have a 10-22 that is a jamo-matic. It cons...

Yep, snowing today in central Iowa. As my 17yo said, Mother Nature is drunk and needs to go home,

Really like all the contrast on that one, nice job.

Might try to locate a Win 1300 Marine Defender. Stainless and plated IIRC and a smooth, fast action. Be a nice contrast to your evil black gun.

As already pointed out, not for adults (i.e. fully grown children with hair in places it has no right to be) but there should be. No reason not too cept to keep the riff raff out. They also need more one or two gun competitions for those that don't have the deep pockets for 4 guns. But IMO they don'...

If someone pointed to a skunk and said that is the last one on earth, I would say watch it while I go get my shotgun

cute little buggers. Exact words I was gonna use! I have a den right down the road and not 75 feet from the center. Been there for the last few years and the pups started coming out a couple weeks ago. I get a kick outta em not to mention what the girls think. I have another den about 2 miles away ...

I've toyed with the idea but over the years have come to believe that while being essential in CERTAIN applications, that any camo is over rated for the majority of hunting. Being still most of the time and only moving slowing when the critter is also moving works no matter what you are wearing. Cri...

Surprisingly good article from F&S. Thanks

ammo is not a luxury in my household, it is the key to feeding my family when the stores run out. that and some fishing gear. the land is abundant and food is plentiful. A saw and axe supply energy. Wind supplies energy. Wherefore can't you forage and hunt for food? In Alaska the food is laying aro...

L_Kilkenny

Just curious....I was talking to some vendors last Sat at The Show where there were gun/ammo packages available. Seems that the ammo has to be part of the deal for the gun, not to be separated, or it is illegal to discriminate by selling to one, and not another.....Maybe....I don't know... I see st...

L_Kilkenny

As for the moral component...... Being in small business I have no problem with sellin your goods or services for what ever you can get. As a matter of fact it's just plain dumb not to. But as I've stated before, I do have an issue with so called dealers creating a defacto local monopoly by cruising...

Agreed, pass. Brass can be reloaded many times, you don't "need" 1000's, you don't even "need" 500. I'd rather have 100 brass and those 3000 primers than all the 9mm brass in the county. And unless you are in Antarctica it just can't be that hard to find 100 or 2 in brass. Top th...

I prefer 4 buck over 00, better pattern density for coyotes, fox and even 2 legged critters. If it twas me I'd carry a few 3" plated 4 buck, a few el' cheapo low count 4 buck (great on coons and closer vermin) and some 2 3/4" #4's. Might carry a couple slugs if they hit where aimed with a ...

"Bang, flop" as I like to call it is only possible with massive central nervous system disconnect; like a head or neck shot. Terms like DRT always make me laugh and cringe a little at the same time. Anyone who thinks that they are "always" going to get a DRT with a shot to the v...

how'rya gonna transport all that stuff Doc? ...my original 'musing' was more along the lines of simplifying inventory as opposed to a 'what you can carry on your person' kind of thing.

I remember reading something in Jim Cirillos' book "Guns, Bullets and gunfights" about an assailant not dropping after being hit by a 12GA slug. Granted stuff happens, but if i knew I were going into a gunfight I'd much rather have a shotgun than a handgun. Even during WWII folks were kno...

L_Kilkenny

Hickok is a bad influence. I've taken and made longish 12ga shots that with a little afterthought I probably should of passed on but I'd never of dreamed of that kind of hit/miss ratio @ 230. Open sights no less. Me thinks I'm better off staying away from such things. Until recently my shotguns had ...

L_Kilkenny

It's been years since I used a 3/4" tube scope, for good reason. Go receiver sight or find an older Weaver 2.5 or 3x scope. Those have no objective bell and are glossy steel tubed. In short, they look the part and are good scopes.

L_Kilkenny

I've shot a .30-06 once in my life. A few rounds prone with sporter weight rifle, can't say I enjoyed that at all. Also can't say I enjoy sighting in my 12ga from a bench either. But sighting in at a range is 180 degrees from shooting in the field. I have never noticed my 12ga recoil in the field, n...

Sorry, I'm not talkin beat up rust buckets. Talkin one of the least practiced guns I have. It dawned on the other day that as much as I tout a good pump gun as a must have, and I do use mine a good bit, I realized I spend very little time with it. For game I can use them all right, killed my share o...

I consider minimalist different from bug out gun or getting home gun scenarios. And I do feel I've become dang close to minimalist with my guns. - 12ga shotgun. Mine's a 1300 with both 22" and 28" vent rib barrels. Full range of Winchokes. - 12ga slug gun. Mine's a 870 Express with 18.5&qu...

I bounce back and forth and am always looking for that next great thing but as of today, may change tomorrow, I would rather spend the money on shooting supplies for what I already have than another gun. Still I have a short bucket list for someday: #1) a .32acp pocket gun. Easy enough, probably hap...

I have what I call my EDC bag and a separate day bag for hunting. I live in a semi-populated rural area so I don't concentrate on so-called wilderness survival gear. Besides a gun and spare ammo, my EDC bag contains a variety of things for both everyday life and for when things go bad: - Rain coat -...

I like the add but to be honest, with the current state of politics in Co. driving hunters out will probably insure re-election instead of gettin em voted out. Too many bunny huggin, tree lovin, pot smokin hippies have moved in.

L_Kilkenny

I've only used 180gr handloads and handguns for .357 deer but IME just about any 158 on up of decent design (no RNs or FMJs) will do for whitetail in your carbine. You will gain some margin for error with the true powerhouse and designer loads but if you hit in the boiler room not a deer in the worl...

Are BWW's corperate or franchise? Some restaurant chains are one, some the other and some have both. Iowa business's have the option of putting up the dreaded no gun sign on the window but it has no legal bearing. All they can do is ask you to leave and if you don't they get you tossed for trespassi...

For looks plus added function go with the older 2.5 and 3x El Paso Weavers (straight tube, no objective bell). For even more added function you'll have to sacrifice the looks a bit and go with a 1.5-4x or 2-7x from any of the reputable manufacturers. Really liking my Redfield Revolution 2-7x. Very l...

Being a product of the late 70's and early 80's I can honestly say that every time NY or CSNY came on the radio I about vomited. Couldn't turn the channel fast enough. And now being somewhat more politically minded I can't stand em even more. Heck I'm almost to the point of writing letters just hear...

Went to a gun show on Sunday to see what was there for pocket guns. Had quite a few .380's and 9's of various makes but only saw one Beretta Tomcat (blued, $310 new) and one Keltec 32 ($210 with pocket holster). We were heading to the in-laws I had most of the family there and between being crunched...

L_Kilkenny

One finger hold on a .25 is a piece of cake. Is the .32 all that much more? (recoil-wise)

L_Kilkenny

We talkin pricewise? As stated Walmart was in the neighborhood of $20 for Federal 550 bulk. I bought 2100 rounds (four 525 Fed. Classic bulk packs) w/ammo can for $90-$95 and three 375 MiniMag packs for $24/each IIRC just after Christmas. Those were from Cabelas and I don't think they had a a price ...

Ha! Have the same raven, hated carrying it due to awful safety!! Ya know, as bad as the Raven is I gotta say mine works. After 8 or 10 years in hiatus I took it out and ran the remainder of the original box of ammo I bought for. Hit what I shot at and ran fine after all these years. Held 6 rounds o...

L_Kilkenny

Now I'm also lookin at the NAA Mini's again.... Oh, the humanity! OK, got my moment of clarity back (kinda). Mini's are to the back burner again. Tomcat is a great choice in 32. The 21 is a very reliable 22lr What can you tell me about the 21? (I've heard of some issues) While I'd much prefer the ....

L_Kilkenny

I see a lot of .380 on shelves. Have you seen the price of .22, and how hard it is to find? No doubt, but I'm sitting on about 4000 rounds of .22lr and don't have to dig thru the grass at my range to find brass after practice. The little .22 doesn't have many advantage but it has at least one. Now ...

L_Kilkenny

Thanks for the info everyone. While I know the trend on these pocket guns is towards, for obvious reasons, the .380's and 9's, I'm pretty well stuck on a .32. Have reasons but honestly, they probably don't make much sense and no reason to muddy up a thread :D As a matter of fact I'd be more prone to...

A bone stock 10/22 carbine/sporter won't do what ya want but it's not as bad as some might lead you to believe. I'm not one for punchin a bunch of paper but have some groups stuck away in a file. Only group I found beyond 50 yards was with a stock 10/22, measured 2.25" at 90 yards using Velocit...

A few recent post on pocket guns including the "small .22" thread got me to thinkin MORE about a pocket gun. I've had exactly one true pocket gun in my life, a lowly .25 Raven (don't be to hard on me it was free). I've even carried it, chamber empty due to the awful safety, a time or two. ...
