Re: I knew better, but
Well crap, my Bighorn is about 10 years old. Hopefully it holds up.

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
Thank you to everyone for the input. After a trip to a gun shop and handling a Ruger American, Savage axis and 110, Weatherby vanguard, Tikka TX3 lite, I settled on the Tikka. The action is so smooth! I liked the Vanguard as well but it was much heavier. The Ruger American was the grittiest of the a...

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
The Ruger American, and specifically the Predator is, by most all reviews, a great buy for not a lot of $. As others have said, those Tikka rifles are REALLY nice for a factory rifle, but more $$. In the long run, maybe a little more money, but very well spent?? Good luck, Buckshot Bill Ruger makes...

Re: 45 ACP cases
The only thing I hate more than small primer 45 brass is the 380 auto brass. It always somehow gets mixed in with 9mm brass.

Re: Shotshell Reloading
I’ve looked into reloading shot-shells in the past and it didn’t seem to make any financial sense. It’s so cheap to buy the Commerical stuff. I’m curious why you want to reload for shotgun?

Another vote for Ramshot TAC. I’ve loaded thousands of rounds with it.

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
I’m starting to lean towards the Ruger American “go wild” in 30-06. Anyone have any experience with it? Or better yet, does anyone know anywhere in the southeast valley that has it or any Ruger American rifle in stock? I’ve never handled one. I’ve read that some people find them to feel very cheap....

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
I’m new to big game hunting. I settled on 30-06 mostly based on its reputation and its ability to take down anything in North America. I’d rather not have to buy a new rifle if/when I move up from deer. If I were going to buy a rifle pretty much just for deer hunting, I’d probably go with 6.5 creed...

Re: Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
I realized this might be controversial, but why did you settle on 30-06? It's a tried and true cartridge that's been around for over a century, but even the .308 will give you very similar performance with much less kick in the shoulder. Also, you can get a short action with .308 to keep your rifle...

Preferred hunting rifle for under $600
I’m in the market for a new hunting rifle chambered in 30-06. I ran a search and found some older threads on the subject but figured there are many newer rifles on the market. So if you had $600ish to spend on a new hunting rifle, which would you buy? I’m looking for rifle only suggestions, preferab...

Re: Thoughts on AR pistols
IMO AR pistols make sense if you’re going to suppress it. So you pretty much end up with a 16” overall barrel with the suppressor. If you’re going to run unsuppressed, they make no sense to me.

Re: weapon lights for AR 15
For your price range I like the Streamlight Protrac Rail mount.
