      Rio Bravo Tactical .22 $311

      I got one of my kids the wood-stock Rio Bravo a few years ago. It was alright, a minute of can kinda gun. Fun to plink with, but you weren't gonna win any accuracy competitions. Would jam occasionally, especially with shorts, but I will say that it did NOT have light strikes. It left a nice...

      A little justice

      Biden will probably pardon him

      Bullet terminology has changed.

      I can attest to .357 loads being a lot softer than they were a few decades ago. Last time we were going through the gun safe trying to find a set of grips we came across half a box of ammo from when he was a cop carrying a .357 mag. Advertised velocity of a 158gr JHP was almost 1600fps...

      Oh. WTH. NO!!!!!!

      I have fond memories of having an old scout 2, taking it through the woods and mud. It didn't go anywhere fast, but it went damn near anywhere. Only had a four banger engine, but that thing was bulletproof. Looked like someone took a V8 and chopped it in half.

      I like the barrel proof bourbons, the flavor profiles are usually so much better than the lower proof bourbons, and they're great over a big ice cube, as the ice melts the flavors change and it doesn't get so watered down like the 80-90 proof ones. That being said, a 90-101 proof is just an...

      Selling whiskey online

      Eagle rare is my go to Bourbon, usually at around $45/bottle. Downside is it's allocated just like Blanton's is, making it hard to find. Hell, even regular buffalo trace is good and only $25-30 but hard to find. I agree that Blanton's isn't worth the secondary market prices, but it does make one...

      Selling whiskey online

      There's a pretty healthy secondary market for Blanton's and other Buffalo Trace allocated runs. I got my last bottle for $80, but that was after being on a waiting list for 18 months to get it. I got another bottle a month before for father's day from my oldest, he paid upwards of $120 for...

      I like Blanton's. How much are you wanting per bottle?

      Low recoil hunting recommendations

      It's been a long time, but I've shot a 357 lever gun with full magnum loads in the past, and the recoil was pretty timid. Granted, it was also a relatively heavy rifle with octagon barrel. It's a round I already load for which is also a nice draw. Lots of components on hand. A#9 is something I...

      Low recoil hunting recommendations

      I was in one for 12 weeks 24/7, even attempting sleep in the damned thing. I do alright in day to day activities as long as I keep my head in a more neutral position. I had to learn and practice a different stance for pistol shooting, no more modified weaver to deal with cross eye dominance, now...

      So, my AR exploded today…

      https://www.freedommunitions.com/safety-center Seems they've ran into this in the past. I'd contact Freedom Munitions. I doubt they'll replace your firearm, but maybe they'll add that lot number to their list to help others.

      .50 BMG SLAP-T

      Not worth it firing sketchy gunshow ammo like this, especially from a weapon that's as expensive as a ma deuce

      Guns as investments…in our future.

      In my experience, a lot of guns hold their value pretty well unless they're super-mass produced. Selling a S&W 686 for near what you paid for it is easy, selling a plastic fantastic Glock or Sig is likely going to be a loss unless new laws make the sales of them restricted in the future. AR's...

      Kentucky Ballistics loves those rounds...

      Low recoil hunting recommendations

      I appreciate the suggestions, and I'll look into them. Maybe I can ask around some of my friends and try to set up a range trip to try a few different calibers. I haven't shot a .243 since I was a kid, and while I've fired a lot of rounds through M-16s, M4's, and AR-15's, my only real...
