    77...Controlled round feeding?

    I have red pad, tang safety 77 in .338 WM. I was talking to a friend about it the other day and he responded, "...that would be a better rifle if it was a controlled round feed". Now I thought it was a controlled round feed....this guy is very sharp on his Winchester, Mauser and Remington...

    FS Weaver K-6 rifle scope

    I have an El Paso, Tx Weaver K-6 scope for sale. This scope is very clean with very clear glass. It has the aluminum end rings (not plastic). Fine crosshair I am sure it has been mounted, but other than light handling on the bells and the adjustment covers, this scope looks new. $85...

    What rifle/caliber for brown bear?

    I remember reading an article about a Kodial Bear guide, old guy who had maybe the most experienced Bear gun. He told the author that he had used a 30-06 early on, but sometimes that didn't kill the bear quickly, then he got a 375H&H and that was the end of slow killed bears. He was shooting...

    Winchester model 12 Heavy Duck 12ga

    This is the Super Speed 3 inch Magnum gun...a Winchester Heavy Duck 1957 manufacture. It is all original with the addition of an adhisive Vented Rib...if you want it back to original the rib will come right off...if you like the rib, it is solidly attached and shows no sign of loose areas. The...

    Mk L vs MkII....what are the main differences

    I have had Ruger MK IIs since 1990...I have owned and traded several of them...but I have never owned a MK I....aside from the magazine differences, what are the major differences? I notice that there are occasionally better deals on the MK I than on the MK II

    ADVICE on 270 purchase

    I always try to send new buyers looking for a solid Bolt gun to a Ruger 77 Tang Safety or a 77MKII. There are other rifles out there that are as good...but none better for the $$.
