I was going to get a CZ rifle but I've located a great deal on a 983S and I like the way it looks a lot. So how is it? Any experience? Is it worth buying?

Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this brand. Im not really wanting to spend 90 bucks on a knife if its not any good. Im pretty sure that any knife collector or hunter knows that there is nothing worse than a bad knife. Thanks for any opinions.

The rifle appears to be undamaged. I had shot about two dozen rounds sighting in the rifle, when I accidentally grabbed a .270 round, which must be similar in length to a 7mm Mag round. The gun fired, and hot gas shot out the back (into my cheek) and smoke was around the chamber. I was able to pop the cartridge out with a cleaning rod without too much difficulty, and the bullet had been expelled. The casing was torn from the gas expanding, but the bolt on the rifle seems to be fine, and the rifle appears to be no worse for wear.

Should I have the rifle professionally examined before I re-fire? I was going to fire off a round from a distance with a string and see how that goes. I feel lucky that the barrel did not explode in my face! Like I said, the rifle seems to be ok, no cracks in the bolt or the barrel. Thanks.

Some Co-workers claimed they don't like Dove Or Quail that its nasty tasting.
I have been thinking of a way to fix it that they wouldn't know what it is, for a month or 2, and I am a really good cook.
I cleaned and removed all tendons, and fat. Chopped it up in 1/4 inch cubes and boiled it in chicken herb boulion solution till it was super tender. Then I made a rice mix of wild grain and pilaf, also cooked with chicken broth (had it before it's really good), then added the dove and quail to it!
tasted and it's terrific and hope to surprise everyone at work tomorrow as we are having a pot luck for a co-worker who is leaving.
Would you be mad if I did this to you?

I was thinking about buying this gun but I want to get some feedback by anyone who has one. It looks like a sweet gun. I also can't decide if I want the pistol grip or not.

I wouldn't trade my Ruger P-97 .45 ACP for the world, although I wouldn't be totally opposed to a 4-inch .357 magnum.

Now that Ive had firearms for several months I realize that I need a reloader. 45 and 223 rounds are expensive at the store, and I know from buying rounds at gun shows that I'm getting bent over and pounded every time I pay $8 for 20 .223's at Wal-Mart. I know nothing about reloading ammo, but it can't be that complicated, I would just like some thoughts on some good ones. (and cheap) Thanks.

I am looking to get a 7mm Magnum High Powered Rifle for Christmas. I would like to get into hunting, especially because Virginia has a lot to offer outdoor enthusiasts. My question, is what age do I have to be in order to buy a rifle, if I have a hunting permit does that age change? Could my father buy it and have it licensed under his name but legally let me use it under his direction? Thanks

I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

For just choosing a basic rifle that I might use for hunting and also target shooting at the range mostly, what is the major difference between the popular designs from the most common manufacturers.

Say I'm going to get one in .308.

You have Ruger M77's, Browning A-Bolt, or Remington 700. These are all popular bolt action sporting rifles available in many different calibres. All three are to my knowledge companies highly regarded for the quality of their products. Someone I know reccomended Sako rifles, but they are twice as expensive as these ones, and all three are American companies with a long history and popularity.

So ultimately, when it comes to choosing one, is it more or less a matter of personal preference? Is there something one of these three models posesses that sets it above the others? They're all similar in price.

Thank you.

So I got my muzzleloader (.50 CVA Buckhorn) to the fields for some sighting. I got it bore sighted today at ***** Sporting Goods. It is about 1-1.5" down at 70/75yrds. Not to bad, A few clicks on the scope and that's fixed.

Anyhow, I am using Pyrodex Pellets. They are quick, easy, and far more accurate then a measure / pour technique. First shot was at 150gr while the secon andthird were 100gr. All I can say is shooting that thing is like firing a freaking cannon. It was amazing.

So yeah, I got the first shot jitters out of the way. And I am almost fully sighted in for 75yrd shots. Which isn't all that bad. Although, it was bore sighted for 100yrds so I may foregore sighting it at 75yrds and just adjust shooting by lifting the gun a bit.

What are everyone else's experiences with blackpowder shooting?

Long story short, is that I have a box of

"Remington Premier Copper Solid 1 oz hollow point magnum sabot slugs"-says the box

they are 2 3/4 inch 12 gauage

I went to outdoor world today and asked if these were ok to run through a smoothbore barrel with an improved cylinder (IC) choke. He said I got that completely right and its ok.

I got home today and on the box it has this:

WARNING: This ammunition is designed for use in fully rifled barrels or rifled choke tubes only. Barrel damage or serious injury may occur if this ammunition is fired in fixed or screw in, modified or improved cylinder chokes.

Is it ok or not?

My Grandpa and I are trying to find a winchester model 97 trench shotgun for my dad for Christmas. I found a WWI trench shotgun, with a bayonet for $1350. It has the flaming bomb on the barrel and receiver and is marked US. Is this a good deal? The guy has 0 feedback though, is it also too good to be true? Someone advise!

I'm having huge arguments with my in-laws about this topic. I was 6 years-old when my father bought me a cross-bow, but I didn't get my first deer until I was 8. They think I'm full of it and told me that it's way too young to be shooting a firearm. Where I came from (Ohio), most kids were out hunting with their fathers/brothers.

And how do you find someone to train you on falconry because its not something done that much anymore I know. I probably won't get into it but I just read up on it and thought it would be pretty cool to get into but its way to time consuming and expensive I imagine. What do you know about hunting with falconry as far as it being used today to hunt. I know about the history of falconry and all that crap. More or less I'm looking for an answer to practices falconry or knows someone who does. Thanks.

So I went ahead and bought my gun. I got a nice CVA Buckhorn .50 Muzzleloader. It's a basic but very useable gun. I am not sure what scope I am going to get. I tried a couple but it didn't work out (mounting issues). I am using Haroday (spelling?) sabots with 777 powder. Now, I am sighting in today and am heaing out the next 3 days. I should be doing well. I am also going out the 15th and 16th.

Wish me luck...any opinions?

Deer hunting to me is cruelty, I hate anyone who does it. I just don't understand why people would take away an animals life just for the pleasure of it. There are many people who hunt but some do not, what do you all think about it? I feel very very strongly about my decision on hunting because it is a bad thing to do to an animal. Tell me what you think about it and I will be thankfull. Thanks alot!

I have purchased a pocket warmer but unfortunately white gasoline or pure benzine is not available in our market. The regular benzine available in the market is normal benzine (Gasoline for the cars)

What kind of fuel can I use instead of white gasoline?

Can I use Acetone for the fuel?

I tried to read through sites and blah, but none are really clear... Can someone tell me what I have to do/course take/blah blah to hunt deer? I am going with my Moms friend, and he will do the tags ETC. But I need to know basic rules. I was going to do some course, but I found out I will have to wait until January maybe later. I am 15, and clueless, and I really have tried but cannot get any clear answers....

I will be using my Uncles 12 gauge, which is actually a really nice shotgun around 800$ but hasn't been used since he died. I have all the gun cleaning etc. But I would like to find out EVERYTHING I can.. Also, about Hunting Knives ETC, because I can buy one for myself and need to know law about that, also.. SO ANY tips you can offer... Please. And you don't have to suggest about starting at a lesser gauge, though.. Also Like a good routine to follow. I read through a hunting rule book, but I would rather hear from real Hunters.

Thanks, Hunter.

(Yeah, Ironic but true.)
