Outdoor Recreation - December 2007

I want to buy my friend a rifle scope for his .22 but I want to get a better one than just the walmart brand. I see that Simmons is good, but what specs to buy? Not sure what the 4 x 32 and 3 x 9 x 40 means. It would be used mostly for target practice and very occasional hunting.

I'm going to buy a .357 to go along with my 12-gauge as a home defense weapon.

What, in your opinion, is the highest-quality and most reliable brand/model currently in production, and what is the approximate price?

Thanks, guys.

Why is it that I can order and have ammunition shipped right to my door, but it's a crime for me to ship ammunition to someone?

What's so harmful about shipping a few boxes of shells to my cousin to do some skeet shooting with anyway?

so this past summer me and my family rented a house on lake Wawasee in indiana, very close to Syracuse Lake. Our house had a channel behind it and we would fish late at night.. i noticed a gar fish, we tried to hook it several times. Does anyone know if there are gar fish in the white river or any place close to Anderson, Indiana? I have become quite obsessed and really want to catch one! Any suggestions?

Bought it preowned. It's a gen 3 and well used. I was getting falilures to feed with both ball and hallowpts. A nice tap on the mag sends the round into the chamber. It also goes into batery when inserting a new mag without hiting the slide release. I wood like to know if anyone else has experience with the same issues, and what caused it or fixed? I have already had a glock armorer polish the ramp, the triger linkage, and the all the normal parts and replaced a wareing slide release. I'm useing 357 and 40 mags all react the same. the next thing i think i will try to change is the mag release. i supose it's possible that it has worn to a point that the mag does not reach its max height, thus not feeding properly. the other solution i thought might work is a new mag follower. one that forces the necked down rounds in a more nose up position. any advice would be apriciated. i would like to put this pistol in use as a home defence gun and possibley a future cc gun.

I was looking at the Henry US survival rifle. I will probably only use it for target shooting, maybe use it to shoot a few grouse while deer hunting. I like how it all breaks down to fit in the stock, but if it shoots like 24 inch groups at 50 yards it is no good to me. If you could give me a bunch of info on the quality I would greatly appreciate it.

I plan on buying a rifle to shoot targets at LONG range (maybe some hunting). I love the idea of very small & fast (220 swift, 25 mag, sabots, etc...) but my father who has LOTS of experience (retired Army) tells me that a very small bullet is very susceptible to wind and sheds velocity & energy quickly regardless of muzzle velocity. He tells me I shouldn't go under .30 caliber for that reason. I've done a little research (along with his advice) and I'm thinking about a .300 Ultra Mag. I don't have alot of experience, I just like long range accuracy. Is a .300 Ultra Mag a good rifle at 300 yards? Any suggestions for a better rifle? I don't want to be shooting a cannon so please don't tell me "get a .50 cal". That's my target range-300 yards. I don't want to spend more than $2500 or so. So pretty much my question would be what is the best rifle (around .30 caliber or under) for TIGHT 300 yard groups? Thanx for experienced advice!

A buddy and I go camping every summer; sometimes for very long periods on end. We have never had any issues on just camping wherever until the last couple years. Is there a way/place to purchase a small amount of forested area in the western U.S. so we can know that we are camping safely and legally? Hoping for an acre of less since we a hoping to purchase a few spots if we can. Thanks for all the info.

They are pretty much the same gun, from the same company, but the first one says in () - (Metal Bushing). What does this mean in-depth, and is it worth the extra 35 bucks?
