Stricken by choice....... Thanks

Just picked up my first shotgun (Remington 870 Express). I am a shotgun newbie. Can anyone recommend a good intro course to help me get more familiar with this beauty? Looking for a course in Rochester area. Thanks

I've got a 22LR pistol and 10/22 rifle that can share ammo with the pistol. I've recently purchased 9 mm and 45 ACP pistols. I'd like to use the ammunition in other platforms. So, I figured that I'd solicit opinions for possible carbines that use these calibers. I have no background in...

Was looking online today at Stack on, Husky, Craftsman and Kobalt. Any other places to look (Northern Tool, etc.)? Want one for ammo that needs to be reasonably secure. A few more for tools, circular saws, etc. Maybe one for flamable liquids (mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, etc). What do...

I will be in Vegas in January for work and would like to hit a range to try some guns not available to us here (full auto, etc). Does anyone have any range experience or recommendations in Vegas? Not going to have a ton of free time and I may only get a chance to hit one so I'd like to make a...

I have a new mini 30, and need to figure out which way to go with glass. I'm using Weaver see-through rings (at the moment)...which barely allow the irons to be used, but they are there, and I do like the ability to have irons if there is a failure. I like Warne QD rings, but in a fast moving...

I am already planning for my next rifle purchase. I really wanted to buy an all American Springfield M1 but they are banned in NYC under the AWB by name... I found as a second choice that LBR makes a NYC compliant M14 variant called Sporter which does not have any of the evil features and only...

Anyone have a recommendation for a taxidermist on the island or within a reasonable drive? Shot a nice 8 pointer

Hey folks, after finding out my knife Ive been using is about 80 years old, decided I should retire her and get a new fixed blade. I'll start off by saying I know next to nothing about knives, the one I had last was an imperial I bought for $16 at a gun show. So anywho I'm looking for...

My son wants a scope for his Henry lever action .22. Uses include target shooting 50-100 yards. I know very little about scopes in general. Any recommendations on which one to get and where to get it? Thanks in advance...

I was going to put this in the carry/conceal or handgun forum, but it probably makes the most sense here, since it is specifically related to hunting. Does anyone else hunt big game with a pistol and have recommendations for a good holster? I'm looking for a holster for a Ruger Super Redhawk 44...

Expecting a ccw soon (at least restricted PP) and I was lookIng at Glock 23 also intrested in in M&P40. Anyone have any opinions on Kimbers? Too many options, to many choices Any thoughts?

Greeting Everyone, Was looking for some advice regarding a home defense shot gun. We all know how stringent New York's laws are, so please only suggestions that are legally compliant. Any and all suggestions are welcome. If I could elaborate, I'm looking for something: 1) a bit on the compact...

Recently bought a new truck. So what do you guys recommend to cover the back? I need something that will keep clothes/ camping gear/ groceries dry in bad weather. Had a button down vinyl cover on my last truck but it was a pain to use (esp in winter months) and I wound up keeping it rolled up...

I'm admittedly a bit of a book nerd... So naturally I noticed when someone mentioned Massad F. Ayoob as a good author when it comes to personal defense and firearms. I did a bit of digging and found some books put out by U.S. Concealed Carry Association that looked like they had promise. Has...

It's time for a new stove for backpacking and I'm looking for suggestions. My current one uses white fuel from a fuel bottle that I fill and pump the top to create the pressure needed in the bottle. Today I was looking at the MSR pocket rocket which just attaches to a pre-filled fuel canister...

I need some help here. Will Lee shell holders work in other brands? For instance, I hear that only hornady shell holders will work in the hornady trimmer. Anything to watch out for? Thanks in advance.

I am looking to pick up a new Buckmark pistol and I am looking for some advice from other Buckmark owners on what rounds they have had the most success with, both from reliability and accuracy. I know that semi auto .22's I have had in the past have been a little 'fickle' when trying to cycle...

Back in the days when deer hunting with a rifle was illegal, I bought a new Mossberg 695 bolt-action 12 gauge. Basically, it's a shotgun that acts like a rifle. At 100 yards, I've hit 2-inch groups consistently with copper sabots. She has helped harvest a lot of venison over the years and I...
