Not bad at all. I ran into my first .243 Winchester Caliber rifle back in the early 80's. It was a popular round for elusive predators and small game. Some great distance shots around 200-300 yards where a .22LR wasn't enough for the bang. Once you get it really broke in with that scope it can...

Well at $15.00 for 2 hours, it's not bad. a $100. a year membership fee and $5. for all day for members isn't bad. The drive is a pain in the behind but worth it. Like you've I've been on loads better ranges or some even worse but I like the place. Steve Bolt, the Manager is a 67 year old guy...

Logistics, loading, packing & planning.... I did a lot of that back in the military. Just getting one of these trips set up for a couple of hours on the range is worth the effort. This trip was more of a scouting trip and field test on the weapons concerned. Next time out it will be more for the...

LOL... You know one of these days, after I get a little too old to go dragging my self off to an indoor or outdoor range I might just set myself up a Pellet range in my fenced in back yard and have at it. Thanks for the posts.

http://www.liveoakssportingclays.com/ Here is a link to the shooting range. Live Oaks is a Sportsman Club located about 40 mile out in the country from my house. About 10 years ago some fellow got the bright idea to open up a shooting range so he spent some bucks sitting up a pistol range and...

Does taking a long walk to the mail box count?LOL.... Many moons ago it was running, jogging and loads of stuff. But for us Elderly Gentlemen types, walking to the mail box, range trips, walking around the malls and more important gun shops is just getting out of the house.just about it...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/7/dc-council-member-seeks-ban-guns-made-3-d-printers/ So far only in Washington D.C. but the Feds won't be far behind for a national ban.

Thursday or Friday a couple of Range Rats and I are going out in the country to an out door range. The Savage 308, a Mosin Nagant, a Argentine Mauser and an H&R Partner Pump 12 gau are on the agenda.

It certainly did free up some space in my wallet. Although it's not a squirrel gun, it's an interesting weapon. I've been doing some homework, regarding the differences between the 308 Winchester and the 7.62 x 51 (NATO) rounds. The SAMMI/CIP maximum pressure for the .308 Win cartridges is...

Since I bought the Argentine Mauser Model 1891 (Sporterized) Rifle, I needed to fee up some space. So I took one of my Mosin Nagants down to a local shop to have them do a consignment sale. A Savage Arms AXIS (Edge) XP, .308 Win Caliber.20” Rifle caught my eye. Sticker Price: $389.99 after...

Read some iffy stuff on the scope though. We shall see.

Looks like a fun one.

LOL... It's getting to be that time of year again. I have to charge up the batteries and get ready. You see people do some really funny things launching or recovering boats. I only had to leave the drain plug out once, many years ago. Fortunately I was off loading and the trailer was still...

LOL... The pound is only $1.54 each? At $8,000. for the printer, unless someone's going to do some mass production. The inventor is an anarchist who is in for a rude awakening if he thinks the BATF isn't breathing down his neck. But we shall see. I do concur that such an act will be forth...

Let us try this one. A Savage Arms AXIS (Edge) XP, .308 Win Caliber. The scope is a Bushnell Sharpshooter 3-9x 40. She's going to the range this week.

LOL. Air guns you gotta love'em. A couple of fellow Range Rats and I found an outdoor range about 40 miles from here and are heading out there this week for some shotgun and rifle shooting. I miss living out in the country since moving to suburbia but life goes on.

This is a K-Mart Special. A Marlin MN Micro Groove Barrel 22 W.M.R. I bought her around 1993. It was sold as a Garden gun for varmints. The TASCO Pronghorn Scope, made by Weaver was a 4 x32 . I bought it to use to eliminate some predators that were threatening livestock on a farm I owned. It...

Very nice. What's the make on the scope?

I’ve got 3 types of Military Surplus Rifles in my collection. The Japanese Arisaka Type 38 made in 1905. The two Russian Mosin-Nagants one from 1938 and the other from 1939. The latest addition is the Argentine Mauser Model 1891, made in 1894. Next to her are the German and Argentine flags...

1891-1898 Mauser Development Overview Skip Have a look at this and it will explain a few things. LOL. After all we live in the Information Age and when it comes to firearms I assure there are a lot of folks who perhaps think like we do. Scary thought. A comparison on various Mauser actions...
