I was delayed for the first time yesterday and was wondering if more people are experiencing delays for the first time. It's more than a little annoying to have to leave my purchase while NICS works out their bs.

I am trying to work up a new load for my CVA magbolt 150. I have used powerbelt and precision rifle qt sabots with 100 grains of 777 pellets or 100 grains of shockey’s gold with disappointing on game performance. They are accurate enough that I can get under an inch at 100 yards but when I make boiler room shots they leave little to no blood and I do not believe they are sturdy enough for shoulder shots. What have you had luck with?

I have been helping a friend build targets for a few months to sell at gun shows. We build dueling trees, knockdown racks, silhouettes (both hostage and standard) and gongs. What kink of targets would you enjoy shooting at? Do you prefer static or action targets? Thanks for any info.

I just put a Savage 111 25-06 in layaway and was wondering about what rounds to try out. I know that each gun is different but I was curious what recommendations the people on this board might have. As always, thanks for any help.

Have any of you had experience with the various Glock conversion kits? I was looking at the one that converts the Glock 27 from 40 caliber to 9mm and wanted to get some input on them. Thanks for any help.

I have a the above mentioned rifle in 7mm ultra mag and I am trying to find out what is custom about it? Was there special work done at the factory, a limited release, or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know I have been beating this subject to death but is there an appreciable difference between the 25-06 and the 30-06 out to 300 yards? I have looked at several ballistic calculators and they show that they are within inches of each other out to 500 yards. Given the greater ammo availability of the 30-06 is there any reason to choose the 25-06 over the 30-06?

I have seen some comments on here about the 25-06 being phased out. Is this true or is just a result of it being a less common cartridge than say the 30-06 and 308?

According to Jayski, KB has offered Horaday a ride within his team for 2012. Does this change your opinion about Busch following the on track incident at Texas?

I am curious what it might cost for a gunsmith to float and bed a Remington 700. Anyone have any experience with this?

I am considering a trigger replacement for a Remington 700. I have been researching the Jewell and Timney triggers and was curious if any of you have had any experience with them.

This weekend will be my first chance of the season to get into the deer woods to actually hunt and I was just curious what kind of luck the people here are having.

I like, or rather my gun likes, the 215 grain Precision Rifle QT on top of 100 grain Shockey's Gold Super Stick.

Also, has anyone had problems with Powerbelts not expanding properly on impact? They are the recommended bullet for my CVA and shot beautifully but the on game performance left much to be desired.

I have a few older deer roast in the freezer that I was planning to turn into jerky. I have looked at some of the kits and online recipes but thought I would see what recipes you would suggest.

Thanks for the information

I have been contemplating getting a Savage Weather Warrior for the past few months and was wanting other hunters opinion of this rifle. Is it worth taking the step up from the 111FHNS? Has anyone dealt with Savage customer service in regards to having a rifle custom built? I want to have one built with a 24” barrel.

Lastly, I am torn between the 25-06 and the 30-06 for deer hunting. I know this is opening a can of worms but what do you feel is the better caliber for Oklahoma deer?

Thanks for the answers

I like to sit around the fire, grill up steaks and listen to football on the radio. What do you enjoy doing?

I am considering selling my Remington 700 CDL 7mm Ultra Magnum. It is in very good condition with only a few small imperfections. I have looked at a few sites online but wanted to get the opinions of the people here. I realize that without actually seeing the rifle it is just a rough guess but what would be a good starting price for a rifle like this?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

If a game or race runs long will the DVR automatically continue to record if it has been preset or will it cut off at the original time?

Thanks for the help.

I took my boat in for repair on the 8th of September with the diagnosis of a blown cylinder. They have striped the upper unit and claim to have had it machined. I have contacted them on a bi-weekly basis since that time and they always have some excuse as to why the repairs are not completed. The excuses have ranged from problems obtaining parts to sick kids. I understand that delays happen but after months of excuses they all seem to be little more than bs. They have made no attempts to contact me and explain the situation and seem annoyed when I question the delays.

I am curious what my options are. Do I have any legal grounds to take action against them or am I at their mercy? Should I just go pick up the boat and parts and take it to another shop? Would contacting the BBB have any effect on the outcome?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have developed what I can only describe as the yips. I am unable to hold a good pattern on any of my rifles. Before I was holding one inch and under groupings and now, I seem to be lucky to get six-inch groupings. I had another shooter try my rifles and they shot perfectly so it is something that I am doing. This is making me hesitant to go into the field because obviously I want humane kills. What do you think may have caused this and what can I do to alleviate it? Thank you for any opinions.
