One other way to get a good measurement is if you have a pair of locking pliers like a 'Vice-Grip', you can very gently turn the screw until the jaw tips just touch the span you're trying to measure. Then measure the opening with a ruler. Just don't squish your sight in the process. If you look at t...

I still don't like to give 'kids' a semiauto until they have several years of shooting experience; part from a safety perspective, and part from a skills-learning perspective. If you have a single-shot you get to be a better shot, in my opinion, and value shot placement over 'volume'...

If that screw is causing your vertical stringing, it means the screw is bottomed out in the barrel. It shouldn't be. I do believe that shortening that screw so it doesn't apply upward pressure is a much easier fix than redoing the entire magazine. THAT makes lots of sense; I hadn't thought about th...

Under recoil, the rifle and thus the top of the monopod move rearward. This changes the elevation of the muzzle and shifts the POA/POI. That's what it seems like bipods do, to me. Maybe less if their legs don't flex foreward/rearward much (like the Harris), but the ones with more leg mobility (so y...

At least that's one they can't realistically outlaw the 'ammo' for - they could outlaw lead, but you could make saboted flechettes or something similar. Besides, 'stocking up' on 10.000 'rounds' of pellets isn't going to break the bank like 10k of .308 Win would...!

The Savage's and Marlin's are excellent, and both are usually quite accurate. No lever-gun I know of sells for less than the Henry. Don't discount the option of a breakopen , because you can get one for very little cost, and probably can get a 'combo' say in .410/22LR (where there are two different ...

I've got both, the Marlin is the way to go if there is even the slightest chance that you might want to add a scope or other optics. I also have both and agree exactly . Both are GREAT guns, and you will eventually want both, whether in .44 or .45 or .357 - the Pumas have more barrel-length options...

I started hunting groundhogs with that 20 gauge and was very surprised to find that it seemed to be just as effective as a 12 Ga.

Nope, anti is fine, as long as they don't insist I adopt their world view. True.

Like you said - coyotes gotta eat, too. Still a bummer. Think how many deer are hit by cars and stagger off to a similar fate, though.

Yes to DBW's comment - the point is that 'non-gun-owners' are a drain on society, consume more-than-average police resources, and in general - a) render our streets less safe , by decreasing the risk of violent crime, and b) render our society less stable , by decreasing the risk of tyranny. BOTH of...

Not trying to 'alienate' the non-gun-owners, but one of the BEST ways to analyze a situation is to switch one variable and see if it still passes the smell-test (the put-yourself-in-the-other-person's-shoes approach).

Back in the day, when livestock or kids on bicycles weren't safe for the nasty dogs in lots of places, the rule was dogs harassing deer or livestock were to be considered pests and could be shot.
