      Firearm cleaning

      Ok, just a quick explanation.I started hunting when I was 18 years old, just rabbit and squirrel. I taught myself because I didn`t know anyone else who hunted. So I went alone and figured everything out alone, from hunting to cleaning game to cleaning firearms. Way back when I was just 18, all I...

      2024 Spring Wild Turkey

      I looked through several pages and didn`t see a thread started yet... Any wild turkey hunters? Have you been out scouting yet? Are you seeing much activity that could be seen as breeding activity? Much gobbling?

      Accurate AR ammo

      I was finally able to get out and shoot my Springfield Armory Saint Victor 5.56 AR the other day. Was very pleased with the functionality, it fed and functioned well. I was trying to zero my Aimpoint PRO optic. I was zeroing with Winchester M193 55 grain FMJ ammo. At 25 yards it was fine, but at...

      Gun Cleaning Mats?

      Does anyone use a gun cleaning mat? I`ve always just used a wad of newspaper underneath my gun, but have wondered how the mats do? As far as absorbency? As far as how they store? What does everyone else do?

      Carnivore/Keto?

      Ok. I started out trying to do the Roger Raglin diet. I bought his book, "A Big Deal", read it from cover to cover and took copious notes, and plowed in full steam ahead. A lot of what he does and instructs you to do makes sense, but at the same time, goes against the conventional wisdom of the...

      AR optics

      Not long ago, I purchased a Springfield Armory Saint Victor. Springfield was having a promotion at that time, and I also received a free Vortex Crossfire red dot optic. I`ve read reviews on that optic, and like I suspected, there are good as well as bad reviews. For an optic that has an MSRP of...

      How to attach sling to AR

      I bought a Springfield Armory Saint Victor .556 recently. It just so happened that Springfield Armory is having a promotion in which I got a free Magpul magazine, a Grey Ghost sling and a Vortex Crossfire red dot. I didn`t know this promotion was going on, so it was a really nice bonus. I`m...

      New Colt Python

      When my dad passed awy last May, he left each of his kids a little something. Not a ton, but a nice little "remembrance". I was able to get 2 things with that money. I got a Tikka 30.06 and a new Colt Python 4". Does anyone else have one, or have any experience with them? I`ve yet to shoot...

      Gun Scrubber

      There are a LOT of "gun products" out there. I know there are a lot of gun cleaning products, but I still like Hoppe`s, entirely because it smells like it did when I was 18, had just started hunting, and cleaned my 12 gauge or .22. I`ve been seeing a lot about gun scrubber, and wonder, what is...

      Urban and otherwise "survival"

      I know there is just a TON of knowledge in this place and I hope to tap into that if you all will allow me. My wife and I "survived" just over 4 hours without power tonight, (First-world problems, yeah, I know). It was uncomfortable because my spoiled butt is used to playing WGT a fair part of...

      remington 552 Speedmaster

      I have a remington 552 Speedmaster that I bought brand new, way back in 1980, the year my twins were born. I forget the name of the place that I bought is...something like "Sportsmans Warehouse"? It was on the east side of Indy, where I lived at that time. I`m sure I have the original sales...

      Wild Turkey thighs and legs

      I had read for years about some guys using the legs and thighs of turkeys as well as the breasts. I thought that would be cool, but never fretted over it since I knew that when I took the breast and tossed the carcass, the critters were using it so it wasn`t wasted. Eventually I read an article...

      Good AR brand and caliber

      Very hypothetically speaking, if someone were to want to get a new AR, what might be a good, reliable brand, and what caliber might be best? Oh, and I guess, which is the way to go? Direct Impingement or Gas Piston? I`ve always just assumed that the .556 mm was the best, and really only way to...

      Go-Pro or alternative?

      I want to be able to film some turkey and deer hunts for my own viewing satisfaction and to relive the hunt. Go-Pro as far as I know is still the standard for self-filming hunts and other action activities, but even on Amazon, wow, they`re crazy expensive. I`ve been researching some Go-Pro...

      Good Indiana deer processors

      Who can recommend and really good deer processor? i`m in west Indianapolis/Indiana, and am terribly frustrated with this mess of trying to find a good one. I called a deer processor I really liked in Greenwood this morning to get their after-hours phone number in case I`d need to bring one in...

      Real world trail camera recommendations

      I want to find a good trail camera. I believe that trail cams today are incredibly wonderful devices that are capable of a LOT, but I don`t want one that sends photos to my phone or computer. Likewise, I don`t want a cheapie camera that won`t last, doesn`t provide decent photo`s or videos. I`m...

      We just lost a GOOD one!

      Wasn`t sure which area to post this, but this one probably works! Good gunsmith`s are hard to find, great gunsmiths are rare. In my experience, not everyone who does gunsmithing work is a real gunsmith. I don`t have any written criteria, but I know the things I`ve paid people to do, and the...

      Say NO to "new smart guns"

      Biometrics are dicey at best, and ineffective at worst. I will keep my old school firearms. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/smart-guns-gun-company-goal-151152725.html

      WTS: Ruger M77 Mark II in .30-06No Longer Available. Moved to consignment.

      Ruger M77 Mark II bolt-action rifle for sale in .30-06. It`s a pretty gun with the blonde wood-laminate stock and the SS barrel. The rifle is being sold without the sling and scope, this is the rifle only. Disclaimer; I`ve tried several different brands and bullet weights through this rifle...

      Does anyone know of a gun shop that will sell for someone on consignment in the west-Indianapolis/west central Indiana areas?
