      Should I sell?

      I keep cheap ammo for plinking, getting a different optic on paper, letting someone else fire a few rounds, general good will to my fellow shooters.

      Something I've learned from silhouette (both handgun and rifle) is that groups from the bench are not indicative of groups from position. Not a slam...but I encourage anyone following this thread (including deer hunters) to see what kind of groups they can shoot from positions encountered under...

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      4-H leaders routinely deal with young teens and pre-teens, constantly instructing and reinforcing that all guns be pointed in a safe direction even unloaded. The sales rep should have given the customer directions on where to point the gun (at empty space behind the counter) and nowhere else. If...

      Scopes for pellet rifles

      You'll want a scope designed for Springer rifles like yours. Typical rifle scopes tend to get the internals shaken apart by the recoil from the spring.

      Opinions please... What would be a good long range rifle for targets shooting.

      I'll stand by my earlier post....a CZ 457 with heavy barrel, quality scope with repeatable tracking, and decent ammo if you can find it. And by all means, before you buy, attend a few events and talk to competitors. There are events where people will loan their rifle if you pay for the ammo.

      Vista Outdoor Sale to CSG... Good, Bad or Ugly?

      I bought stock in Vista at about $28. It went to $40 in 2021, then dropped back to $30 and largely sat there until I sold it. How does an company that owns several ammo manufacturers not make money this last 3 years?

      Bullet es and sd

      I was told by a college shooting coach that 10-ring ammo doesn't help unless you're a 10-ring skill level shooter. Airgun and smallbore shooters with 8 ring skill can practice with 8 ring ammo because a 8 ring shot with 10 ring ammo still only scores a 8, whereas a 8 ring shot with 8 ring ammo...

      White Rural Rage

      Yeah, I've pretty much had a gut full of the "you're a racist" crap because I sometimes order a Vanilla milkshake.

      Carpenter Bee Season 2024

      I have an oversized tennis racket from the 70's. Yesterday, I put 6 players from team Bee on the permanently disabled list. You have to spot & stalk to get within reach, and maintain discipline to score hits.

      Just showing off my first two attempts at stippling

      Very nice! A long ways from the stories the old timers tell about using a small wood mallet and a sharp new 10 penny nail!

      Canada to destroy thousands of WWII Browning High Powers

      I don't know their worth, but at $500 each, Canadian military will give up $5.5 million rather than sell to US collectors. Dumb.
