      What firearm did you purchase that was a waste of your money

      That's exactly the technique that I use with my own S&W third gen, and it works 100% of the time.

      Southport Officer Shot

      They call him "Pringles Can."

      What firearm did you purchase that was a waste of your money

      Please say you didn't let that BPS slip out of your grasp as part of getting to that O/U lemon. I've never personally handled one, but I've heard lots of favorable comments from those who have one.

      What firearm did you purchase that was a waste of your money

      I didn't buy it, but my first ever proper gun, a Weatherby 92 pump shotgun, a very generous Christmas gift from my dad, was nothing but trouble from the beginning. That damn thing would randomly double feed, tying up the action completely and requiring a barrel removal to clear. I fought with it...

      Yeager - STOP National Concealed Carry!

      Yep, but it doesn't stop just there. We now have "academics" running around right now claiming "hate speech is not free speech,' with the media disgracefully supporting such a moronic and odious statement.

      Southport Officer Shot

      Agreed It's perfectly understandable why so few people want to serve in that capacity when requested, but two things bear consideration regarding jury duty: 1) Generally speaking (yes, there are exceptions), those asked to serve are chosen because they have been more or less model citizens. 2)...

      Recommend good bullet for 44 mag to deer hunt with.

      I have the .452 diameter version of these, but I haven't hunted with them, but they are good bullets on the range for me, so you might want to give these a whirl.

      Recommend good bullet for 44 mag to deer hunt with.

      https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/71438 "Swift Muzzle loader and heavy revolver A-Frame® bullets are one in the same. Both initiate expansion at 950 feet per second, expand to .65x their original caliber, and maintain 97% of their weight. They are virtually indestructible...

      Breyer: 2nd A Not About 'the Right of an Individual to Keep a Gun

      Just know that his mentality is far from extreme among the left. Just remember that next time you contemplate pulling the lever for a Dem running for president because your pride is such that you can't hold your nose for "the other guy."

      Recommend good bullet for 44 mag to deer hunt with.

      I've shot the 300 grain .452 XTP at max load level out of my .45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk revolver, and its recoil was impressive, while not painful. If you can handle max loads with 240 grain loads, the difference in recoil with the 300 grain bullet shouldn't be too bad, but you'll still notice a...

      Recommend me a bolt-action .308 or other

      As I said, I actually prefer iron sights on my rifles, and I went out of my way to get my M77 (tang safety) with them back in 1989. I haven't used the sights on mine for hunting, but it's still better to have and not need than need and not have, as with the hypothetical situation when the scope...

      Bernie Sanders Rally in Indy Monday 4pm - anyone going?

      I voted for HRC in that primary, for the purposes of trying to slow down Obama, someone I knew was even more of a radical than her. I damn sure didn't vote for either in the general, though.

      Bernie Sanders Rally in Indy Monday 4pm - anyone going?

      Is it necessary to note that commie Bernie will be able to hold his rally without anyone opposed doing anything more than rolling his eyes, even as people like Ben Shapiro wanting to put on peaceful public events are met with ninja lookalikes throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks that force said...

      Recommend me a bolt-action .308 or other

      I'm totally with you preferring iron sights. A rifle just looks unfinished without them. With that said, do what I did and get a tang safety Ruger M77RS (the version that came with iron sights). I have exactly that model of the great old Ruger, but mine is a .30-06, and a tack-driver at that.

      Recommend good bullet for 44 mag to deer hunt with.

      The XTP is one of the tougher hollowpoint bullets, so it will almost certainly hold together for deer at those higher velocities. As an alternative, you could bypass your concerns about bullet fragmentation by going with a premium bonded bullet designed to hold together under more demanding...

      deer hunting w/ 6.5 Grendel???

      Yep, as long as you a) hunt on private land, b) use expanding (non-FMJ) bullets, and c) have no more than ten rounds on your person while hunting with a rifle so chambered, you'll be 100% legal. Judging by the listed ballistics, it should perform admirably, as long as the hunter does his part.

      416 Rigby- any suggestions?

      Reminds me of a line from an old Patrick McManus "Exit Laughing" piece I read decades ago titled "The Sharps," in which a kid fired a heavy caliber Sharps rifle with such stout recoil that after having fired it, he said "By the way, has anyone seen my shoulder lying around here?"
