I’m close to purchasing my first 1911 and think I’ve narrowed the field. It’s definitely going to be a 45 ACP caliber. Stainless steel is also preferred. All comments are welcomed and here are my finalists: Springfield-Armory Loaded, S&W E series, Savage and Ruger.

The 52 grain Amax is one of the best shooting bullets in addition to the 50 grain Blitzking in my Savage 11 22-250. Does Hornady still make this bullet?

I’ve got a max of $1000 to spend on what I hope will be a good scope to shoot at a 1000 yd distance at the farm shooting mostly paper with the hope of prairie dog plinking as well. I’m currently leaning towards a Vortex Viper Gen II 6x25. Any suggestions of others or a comment on Vortex?

My Dad and I have interest in LR target shooting and are inching into it. I’ve noticed that many LR competition shooters are using scopes with first focal plane. I’m not clear on exactly why. All input is welcome! A quality scope is quite an investment!

What’s the significance of using bushing dies?

Is it not fact that I would get more velocity with the identical reload with 26” barrel than a 24”? I’m considering a Savage 12 LRP 6.5 creedmoor used mainly for bench shooting.

I have more interest in long range shooting and wish to purchase a rifle that will provide better accuracey than the value bolt guns I currently am shooting. This Ruger Precision has caught my eye with a price tag in the 1K neighborhood. Any feedback out there on this rifle?

My Grandfather was a gunsmith that owned some Minox optics(camera,scope,monocular). He passed away when I was 10 so I had no chance to talk to him, but my Dad speaks highly of Minox. I've priced solely online some but have not actually viewed any Minox optics and wondering if this German outfit...

I've never owned a heavy barreled rifle, but would like to try some type of target/varmint bolt action to punch mostly paper but hopefully some prairie dogs as well. I've been eyeballing the Savage 12 LRP in .243. Please give me some feedback on the model 12 or any other suggestions.

I just bought a Savage model 11 bolt action 22-250. I've reloaded some 9mm & 40 cal so this will be my first rifle cartridge to reload. Anyone care to share your pet load with me?

I've settled on the varmint caliber of 22-250 but am still tossing around which rifle to purchase and yes $ does matter. With that being said the Savage Axis is attractive but would like your opinion. You guys please suggest other options.

I've done a tiny bit of internet searching for rifles available in 17WSM and can only find it in the Savage. Are there any others?

Natchez Shooters Supply has this scope on sale for 129.95! Mine has been ordered and don't have a rifle yet to mount it on. Thinking of a Savage 93R17 to put under this scope. Seems like a dang good deal for this scope. Same price I paid for my Weaver 4X Rimfire.

Without the consideration of ammo cost, what for you is the most fun to shoot? I'm thinking of my next purchase and wondering if it's a pistol or rifle. Right now, I'm leaning towards a rifle in .17hmr. Have several 22lr rifles and a couple of 270's. Nothing in between those caliber wise. As far...

My next rifle purchase will be a .17HMR caliber. I've narrowed my choices so far to a CZ 455 American or Savage 93. Are there others I should consider from you rimfirers out there?

I know this does not pertain to a S&W firearm but my dad is looking for a better trigger for his Savage model 64 22lr. Have looked at Brownells and couple others and not having much luck. Can anyone offer any help?

I would like to buy a varmint rifle for of course varmints and probably mid/long range target shooting also. Beginning to research different calibers and have somewhat favored the 22-250 & 220 swift. There doesn't seem to be very many firearm manufacturers that make varmint rifles in the 220...

Thinking of purchasing a new 22 pistol and narrowed my search to these 2 guns. My dad has a Mark III I've put about 300 rds through and really like it. I have not shot a Buck Mark yet. Any opinions out there on either one or both?

I just read about anothers problem of having his 40 cal brass bulging and it possibly being a result of not having a fully supported chamber. Curious about my M&P 40.

I was on S&W website shopping for M&P40 and noticed on sku:178036 Pro Series model had striker fire double action. Can someone explain what this is please?
