BUY IT NOW before someone else does. The tang safety 77's are not quite as accurate as the Mk II's in general but all of them I have owned endeared me to the stock and safety. My 270 was a 1" @ 100...

I did use a white towel behind the rifle and both the side to side and up and down views revealed the points of the "alignment" bars were point on with each other, in lieu pf the fact that I don't...

I tried measuring both sides but never could quite get the same dimension twice. I tapped the rings with a plastic mallet to get the desired results..

I guess, but I didn't know they made a 586 in 9mm. Just 1 more thing I learned today!
Forrest r, I am confused about the "cut for moon clips" part of the description. It's a 357, right. How does the moon clip work since it already has a rim on the case?
I went to my LGS to buy a new Python and came away with a Sig P 365 Tac Pac. Go figure. One of my good friends works there and he was extolling the virtues of the Sig and he is not just a salesman...

I tried the Ruger for 2 days and had, shall we say, a less than stellar experience with it. It fed just fine and the scope was a no brainer to mount (3-9x) but I tried every brand and variation of 22...
From what I have read, the supply chain of raw materials and the volatile fluctuations in oil prices (thanks a lot Joe) are causing the price increases on nitrocellulose, which is exacerbated by the...
That might be the only thing that Obama did correctly.. He taught me how to buy primers--many and often. When he was in office, primers around here were restricted to 100 at a time. There was a lull...

This might not be a wadcutter but it is pretty close and Accurate Molds has it in 44 cal as well. My 45's shoot it very accurately and it leaves quite sharp holes in a target.326485
