    Ruger 77/357

    I've had a Ruger 77/357 for six years or so, I like it for a lightweight, handy hiking companion and knockabout rifle. Makes a good combination when paired with a .357 revolver. It is not a target rifle, with the iron sights I can hit with it out to 70 yards in the field. I have scoped it with...

    A Fish Called Wanda

    What I find interesting about the movie, (aside from Jamie Lee Curtis, "Rowrrr!) is that Kevin Kline drove a huge Lincoln Continental around London, as the ultimate "Ugly American". Great movie!

    Need Opinions on a New 5.56 BA Rifle

    Another "Amen" for the Ruger American Ranch in .223 that takes AR magazines. I've had this one for a few months now and it is my favorite rifle (of many). Light weight, short, handy and accurate. I got the Leupold VX "Freedom" scope from Midway USA as a blemish for $250, so total outlay for the...

    GP-100 Show and Tell

    I like the GP-100, I've had this 3" fixed sight version for the last six years or so. The sights are dead on, trigger is great right out of the box. I do feel well armed when carrying it.

    Ruger LCR?

    I've had a .38 Special LCR for about five years now, it is my "Go To" carry in warm weather. I carry it on my belt in a Bianchi "Venom" holster where it can be concealed with an untucked T-shirt. Sometimes carry in the pocket with an El Paso Saddlery suede pocket holster. I like the LCR and have...

    Ruger Standard original

    I love Ruger Standard pistols, going back to 1978 when I talked my Mother into allowing me to buy a 6" Standard to hunt rabbits with. I had been hunting them with a 20 gauge shotgun, but she didn't like spitting out pellets when eating the rabbit. I pointed out that if I shot close sitting...

    Tisas USA

    I've had this Tisas "G.i." 1911 since last November and have been getting pretty good with it. I have a swinging steel plate 8" in diameter set at 33 yards from the back door of my cabin. I start out shooting it at 15 yards, then start stepping back, till I'm at the full 33 yards. I can now get...

    Tractor guns

    A "Tractor Gun" in my mind is one with enough power to get the job done in unexpected situations, cairried in a holster with good retention so the gun is not lost, and run over by the implement. I have several, this one a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 caliber, cairried in an El Paso Saddlery...

    Extreme Weather .22 LR Rifle?

    I like this Savage MK II, 10 shot detachable magazine, bolt action, black synthetic stock, has iron sights but comes drilled and tapped for a scope mount if you like. It is my "Go To'' utility rifle, quite accurate and reliable. Best thing is the price, at Walmart they are $156, you can buy two...

    I have been wanting a Ruger American Ranch bolt action rifle in 5.56/.223 caliber for a while, but they have been scarce since the Covid shortages. Used to be on every retailers shelf, but I haven't seen one in several years. I saw a Facebook ad from a retailer I follow who said he had one in...

    Knife + handgun photo thread

    How about a Phillipino made combo? A Rock Island M200 .38 Special revolver and a hand made "Bolo" knife made from a truck leaf spring by native craftsmen in 1987, while I was deployed to Cubi Point Naval Air Station:

    Fantastic Firearms Fables and Tall Tales from Townies.

One day I was in the store when a customer asked to look at an AR-15 rifle. As the guy was inspecting the rifle, the...
