Hunting - December 2007

I'm getting a Remington 700 CDL (http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_rifles/model_700/model_700_CDL_specs.asp)
I live in Mississippi, and want to use it for the usual (whitetail deer, etc.) but i also want a cartridge that i could use elsewhere. Example if i ever want to go out west and shoot big horn sheep, or elk, or maybe even bear i want to know what cartridge would work for all this. I was thinking 30-06 because i know that is a good one and works well. i am new to all these 7mm and everything, so im asking what cartridge you think. See the link i put up there to show what cartridges they offer for the rifle. thanks

Someone I know is getting their first handgun, mainly for concealed carry. I know quite a bit about guns, however, my friend is fairly new to the industry. He wants a good, reliable, semi-automatic handgun for concealed carry that is under $400.00 dollars. Therefore, I recommended the Ruger P95 9mm pistol. He loves the Colt Government .45, Glock 22/23, and a couple of the Sigs. He has never been around Rugers and they are around his price range. Would you recommend the Ruger P95, chambered for 9x19mm Luger ammunition?

Thanks for your help.

Is the Remington sps symmetrical? Whats the difference between the left and right hand 700 models if any besides for the bolt location. Because if they gun is the same on the left and right side, and just the bolt is on the right for right hand models I dont mind that at all.

well i looks like im not getting a deer this season because of my truck ****ting the bed these last couple of weeks and my work, muzzleloader ends the 31.

im so frustrated i feel like a failure and its not like i wasnt patient i would sit on stand for 6 hours in 25dg weather, i never shot a a sound in the bushes,i tryed several different stands that i set up and i hunted as much as i could.

i have been doing a lot of small game hunting since i was little and im now just getting into big game hunting these last couple of years, i miss how small game was so fun and if you missed a rabbit you just shrugged it off. i love hunting and killing is not necceary for me to have a good time but to my so called " friends" need to kill. they like making fun of me for not getting a deer and i feel like **** all i wanted is 1 doe and to eat sweet venison. im sorry to rant guys but i need some people to talk to.

I'm in the purchase of a pistol(s). There are two pistols that have caught my eye...the Desert Eagle .50AE and the Taurus 24/7 OSS. .45 caliber. I really like both hand guns so much I'm really looking into buying both. Why is there so much price difference between both hand guns? Realyzing the obvious of caliber size. Is it much like buying a 8 cylinder exotic car and a 12 cylinder exotic? the same as a .45 and .50 and or will i be paying for the name "Desert Eagle .50"?

I live in LA. if there are any gun shops that you would recommend that will also be appreciated.

First time buyer but not first time user....

Is there different name for the cartridge you shoot in a mosin-nagant, or is it always called a 7.62x54R? I am trying to compared prices on ammunitions, but I don't know if the above is always called just one thing.

Well I went to Academy and saw 2 3/4 inch shells and 3 inch shells. The 2 3/4 inch shells were about 2 dollars cheaper. What is the difference and which would you reccomend for duck hunting?

I took a shooting training class once but haven't shot for a while. I took my gun out the other day to the range and found I consistently shot low to the target. I think it's the way I am holding the gun after I pull the trigger or as I am pulling the trigger. Can someone tell me if I should just let the gun go up as it fires, or should I use some force to keep the gun steady from popping up when it fires?

Will modern bullets and shotgun shells work essentially forever, like you can store them for a hundred years without damage?

Or will all the chemicals inside start to decay and cause some of them to misfire?

I used 15 grains of fffg American pioneer powder in a .36 naval revolver, and at point blank range only 3 out of 5 shots even managed to penetrate a 3/4 inch wood board! (don't know what type)! There was also no recoil, I know black powder creates lower preasures and all, but there was NOTHING! I think with that charge this weapon is supposed to penetrate 4 inches of wood, any ideas as to why it didn't even reliably penetrate 3/4 inches of wood? thanks!

What would be a good rifle to hunt deer with? Also, I want to be able to just go out and shoot with it too. My brother in law recommended a 30-06. But I'm just looking to get a second opinion. Thanks.

To be clear you can't set their gun's safety lock in advance, during, nor after the bullet that will be fired. You can't have anyone else set the safety lock of said gun at any of those times neither. Nor is any other kind of beforehand sabotage of the gun in question allowed. Thus rusting or jamming its chamber are not valid answers.

Shooting or any other kind of physical disruption of the person who will fire the gun isn't allowed neither. Wearing a bullet proof vest isn't a valid answer because that would only address the bullet after it has already been fired and therefore wouldn't stop it from being fired.

How do you stop their bullet from being fired?

I fired off 4 shots into a nice 9point. (My very 1st deer). leaving a blood trail that the dogs followed about 75 yards in and the deer jumped up and ran into the road and was shot again by someone else. so who gets the kill? I have been told first blood drawn & deer down it yours. but it didnt happen this way
and it has cost a 15yrs friendship. What are the rules????
