Outdoor Recreation - December 2007

I have a Stevens Model 15A .22 caliber single-shot bolt action rifle. How would I find out how much it's worth? I know it's probably not worth a whole lot, because there were about a trillion of them made.

I am looking for a set of gun books to start a collection. I already have reloading books and would just like to have books with information such as blue book values, company history and products, history of iconic guns (Remington 870 and Winchester Model 70 type firearms), etc...

Any info is welcomed and price estimates would be great.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

Hi, I've been looking for a pair of gloves for my grandad. He spends a lot of time outdoors playing crown green bowls and as the temperature here is only a little above zero, I need something thats really warm. It would also be best if they are not so bulky too. I'm willing to pay any price - can anyone recommend a good pair??

many thanks

I'm an 18 year old girl and I absolutely love going hunting! It is my favorite thing! what do guys think about this? I'm quite a tomboy and love anything outdoors. I was wondering if maybe this is why a lot of guys shy away from me.

Owning a python has always been my dream, but I have never had the financial freedom to just plop down a grand. If Colt is not planning on bring back the python, I might just have to find one now instead of waiting for it to get to 2 grand, right?

I am 19 and I live in Pennsylvania. I was wondering if I need a permit to get a shotgun(not a pistol). Also, where can I buy these guns and do I have to register them? Can I just go into the store and pick it up? I havnt been able to find too many good gun websites.

I was at the gun shop and saw this video for a "bean bag" round that was fired out of a shotgun. It knocks a person flat. I think that would be a good idea. A single shot shotgun only costs a hundred dollars, and you could flatten a disruptive person with it. Also, if you used a single barrel break open shotgun to fire the non lethal round, (perhaps you could have a bright orange stock) you could easily tell the difference between it, and the pump action shotgun that has lethal buckshot.

The cops WOULD STILL HAVE THEIR PISTOLS AND SHOTGUNS WITH REGULAR BUCKSHOT, but for about $200 a car, you could have another tool to knock down people without killing them. Also, because this weapon is like getting hit with a sledgehammer, some people who have been hit with it before, might choose to comply rather than get knocked flat. I think expanding nonlethal weapons that actually work is a good thing, not a bad thing. And having this would not preclude using real guns where necessary.

When you buy 3 dozen minnows at the bait store, some die before you get them to your lake, many die when in the minnow bucket, even though you think you are keeping them alive by keeping the minnow bucket in the water.The next morning, almost always the minnows are dead.

What is the difference in the accuracy when hitting the target or the groups; is it measured in inches, or is it more like millimeters? Is there a difference in medium rangers such as 100 yards and longer ranges such as 300 and 500 yards, for something like a .308 caliber?

I never hand the chance of firing both a bolt action and semi of the same caliber enough to compare the two.

I just purchased a new Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Big Game fishing reel and am wondering what would be a recommended rod for me. I like going surf fishing for stripers and perch as well as fishing for rockfish off of rock points and in coves. I think I prefer a rod in the 9 foot range. I've only used cheapo rods from 8 to 11 feet long. What would be some ideal brands and models for me to check out that would make it capable for me to cast out pretty far and take some abuse from the surf and rocks. Thanks.

I'm sure its when the powder ignites. But I've heard its also from when the bullet breaks the sound barrier, ---if so, how much louder is this sound from the powder ignition? Where is the majority of the noise from.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about building an outdoor shooting range with a shooting shed to dampen or perhaps eliminate the noise so it doesn't bother the neighbors.

I've had alot of experience using firearms, but I've never actually owned a pistol.

I've done my own research, and I think I'll be picking either a:
Taurus PT92
Beretta PX4 Storm
Beretta 92FS
Springfield XD

I need help making the decision. Also, if anyone else knows a decent pistol that isnt too expensive, please feel free to reccomend that also.

I'd rather not spend more than $500

I want to get a semiautomatic .308 rifle. I would prefer a sporting style to an AR style, because I don't want a pistol grip. However, I like the thicker barrels that come with most AR style rifles. I would like a longer barrel (at least 22 inches). This will be primarily for deer hunting.

I am looking at buying a long range rifle but don't know what to buy. I recently bought my first gun, a Mossberg Persuader short barrel 12 ga. Now I want a rifle, I am not sure what caliber or brand I should get. I am looking for something under $500 and whatever I get should be able to pick off a person at 200 yards. Don't worry, I am not going after anyone. I am just thinking in the off chance war ever made it to America, I could pick someone off from a somewhat safe distance. I know some come with a scope out of the box and I consider that a plus. Let me know what you think =)
