What would it be?

Is there any way to know how many bullets are in a clip of a gun without actually taking out every bullet and counting them? For example lets say someone hands you a clip to a pistol, rifle, or semi auto, could you tell if between if it had say 4 or 30 bullets in it? Thanks for any information.

Why do people hang dead deer from their trees and garage rafters and such. I find the image disturbing in that can't-look-but-have-to way ... but I assume there must be a reason aside from some primitive need to show one's hunter/gather prowess. Very curious ... since I am living in Michigan and see A LOT of this.

I want a good rifle or muzzleloader. I am looking at the Mosin Nagant, SKS, CVA Buckhorn, and Mossberg 500-590. I dont have that muck $$$ cuase i am on a budget. My dad says gets muzzleloader, that way I can hunt longer. I aready have a shotgun for deer, and ml's and shotguns are all we can hunt with in my state. I want a rifle, just to have one. A shotgun for home defense, and a muzzle loader for hunting. What should I get? I mostly want a good cheap military surpplus rifle. Heard alotta good about the mosin and the SKS...Give me some insight...Thanks...

I was looking at a air rifle that is scoped and shoots 780 fps. I was wondering if that is enough to kill rabbits, squirrels, and birds. ( Not airsoft, air RIFLE).
thanks!

I'm almost 21 and I want to buy a handgun when I turn 21. What kind do you guys recommend, I want a good one thats not cheap but not expensive. Do I have to take some safety course or something before I buy one? How do I go about getting a concealed weapons license?

I live in Virginia

I was lookin around for a little pellet gun just to screw around with out at my dads place in the country. I'm lookin for a handgun type gun so, what's a good pellet pistol, I've seen a couple decent looking ones like the Crosman T4 ops, and the desert eagle replica but i dont know yet. Plus if you suggest any, could you put in the price as well?

I know I'm in the hunting area, but I figured I'd get more authentic recipes here than in the cooking section.
I'm going to cook Brunswick Stew in the cast Iron Pot over an open fire & gas burner for Christmas eve. Does anyone have a good recipe. Most likely I'll use chicken, venison and pork.

It comes with all of the original furniture and what you see in picture minus laser sight. It needs a new clip release because the clip falls out. If its not a great deal then I'm not sure if I want to drop that much on it. I am looking to get back into recreational shooting but I also want to make a worthwhile investment.

What are some good light weight hunting rifles? I would like something small and compact. I have been looking at the Ruger m77 compact in 7mm-08. I'd like something .270 Winchester or bigger as this will be for deer. I want to keep the price under $600 as I need some left over for a scope. Any suggestions?
