Scout Rifle update

Well, I went out and sighted in the scout rifle with the scope on it yesterday. After getting it zeroed it was shooting a 2" group at 100 yards (it will shoot better than that but, well excuse, excuse, excuse). Anyway I went out today and tried again. I had different bullets than I used to sight it in, different manufacturer and different weights. It was hitting a little to the right but after a little Kentucky windage I was able to make 5 stirs on a silloute target at 400 yards! I love this gun!!

BFG

The BFG. No , it's not the ultimate in some action/horror video game. It the Biggest Finest Revolver from magnum research, but I think they have been bought out by kahr. I picked one up a few years ago and it really is a Blast to shoot. Mine is chambered in 45-70 gov, has a 10 inch barrel and weighs about 5 lbs. It's not really practical to carry around all day or for concealed carry or quick draw, but it would make a great hunting handgun ( or club). The cylinder alone weighs about a pound and rotates freely. Everything on this gun is high quality but it might just feel so because of it's incredible heft, but I don't think so. It's a super piece and it shoots on par with it's craftsmanship. You can't fire the really long 500 grain bullet in this pistol but most will fit in the cylinder just fine. I think they make shorter barrels for these now and think a 6 or 7 inch barrel would make it more accessible without much reduction in accuracy. Overall I'm really pleased with this pistol although I don't get to shoot it as often as I'd like. Anyone else have any experience with these? Idlike to hear about it. Thanks

Stuff we'll talk about

This is the first time I've ever hosted a blog, which might tell you something of my age. I'll try to talk about different firearms and holsters and other things pertaining to gun stuff in general. I've got a pretty good gun collection (though not near as many as I'd like) and quite a few holsters and other gun stuff to talk about. A lot of what I say will be MY opinion so feel free to offer another. I've been shooting and hunting for a looooong time and I've tried out a pretty good variety of equipment. I know what works good for me and would like to know what works good for others so that I might try them out too. I'll try to get on here as often as possible, but I work a lot so sometimes there may be a few days before I can visit. I welcome Any comments or differing opinions and hope we all have fun and keep shootin'.

Kahr pm9

I recently picked up a new kahr pm9. I was going to wait fo a kimber solo or a sig p290 but after reading about some of the problems some were having with the kimber and seeing no sign of the sig in the near future I went ahead and got the kahr. Kahr states that you should fire at least 200 rounds through the fun before considering it totally reliable, but that should be true with about any firearm. So far I've fired about 120 rounds (50 Winchester, 50 federal, and 20 fiochi) and the pistol has performed flawlessly! I've been hitting about 3" left of center at about 15 yards but I think that's probably because of my grip on a much smaller frame than I'm used to. So far I'm really impressed with this gun. It rides well in an iwb or a belt holster. But I've been carrying it in a pocket holster (uncle mikes, I think) and it is small enough to conceal very nicely in a front pocket.

Favorite 1911

I've had (and still have) a few 1911s in my collection. I've had colts, kimbers, paras, springfields, and Dan wessons. But my new favorite is the SIG RCS. For me it is the best 1911 I've ever owned. I'd love to hear of your favorites.

ruger's gunsight scout rifle stuff...

I just sighted in my new Ruger Gunsight Scout Rifle with open sights.  Shoots Great!   But I,ve ordered an ncstar pistelero 2-7x32 scope and ncstar quick release scope rings.   Does anyone have any experience with this type of setup on a scout rifle?  I know it's not Leupold or Zeiss but i'm just wanting something to use during deer season up to around 300 yards.  Thanks.
