No, I’ve owned and shot other single actions. I’m sure the gun is accurate- I just don’t shoot it well.

I’ve had my Wrangler for a coupla months now. I waited to get one until I found one for cheap. Mine looked nice right out of the box. No obvious blems or flaws. Everything was stiff at first, although the loading gate was not nearly as stiff as others have suggested. At the range it has...

I have an otherwise stock 10/22 that I use to shoot at clays and other smallish targets at 100 yards at the range. I’d like to put better sights on it. What kind of peep sights would be good?

Thank you.

I have two Security-Six revolvers, one is a 150 series, and the other a 152. Both have Wolff springs in them. I have the springs that came out of them, but I’m not sure which springs came from which gun. The hammer springs are identical, but the trigger return springs are not. One is made from...

You sure do get a lot for your money from Ruger.

6. My SR1911 is not a Kimber. Sorry, Kimber guys. Just couldn’t resist. :)

I recently challenged a buddy at the range to hit a five inch steel swinger at 100 yards with his over-priced and over-rated Kimber. Some sort of a little carry gun in .45. He took me up on it, and nailed it on the first shot. :)

I bought a 98% 1957 for about $500-550 and later sold it for what I paid for it. Box and paperwork would have added some. A shooter with honest wear? I dunno, maybe $400-425? *I recall I did have the original store recipe for mine. The original owner paid $67 for it in 1957. :)

Unless you’re Hickok45. He sprays a whole can of Ballistol on pretty near every gun he shoots.

Yeah, that frame looks all... er, blotchy. :)

OP, that’s a beauty!

Congratulations. Nice gun!

Both should be excellent guns.

Prices for the Mini-14 have been climbing steadily for the past few years now. It’s a little strange, because back in 2012, when they were $650 or so, an AR-15 was about $1,000-1,200. Now, the Mini’s are pushing $800, but you can buy a Ruger AR-556 for $479. Things have basically reversed.
