I have never had the need or desire to take a scope off a .22 rifle and put it on a pellet gun but am curious about how that would ruin the scope. I suppose I never thought of any scope being specific for the caliber. Being a pellet rifle or .22.It seems to me a scope that is made well enough to ta...

mayor,

Right, that's what I found out, too, when I stopped being so lazy and did my own research. Thanks for your input.

Will a Wolverine 3x9x32 scope that came with my Ruger .22 pellet rifle work on my Savage Model 64 in .22 LR? I know that putting a scope made for a .22LR on a pellet rifle can ruin the scope, but how about the other way around?

Thanks for any input,

All,

Thanks for you help--Bushnell it is!

Recently bought a Savage Model 64 in .22LR. I need a scope for it, but since I only paid $253 for it, I don't want to spend a lot for a scope. Won't be doing any formal target shooting with it, just plinking and maybe a little small game hunting. Anybody know of a decent scope for no more than $100 ...

I'd agree with all of the points already given, & offer up an additional consideration. Will you be carrying the .380 in a holster in that back pocket, or will it be free-floating in the pocket? Depending on which handgun you're carrying, it could be catastrophic. I'm not a fan of pocket carry ...

I find 3:30-4:00 IWB comfortable, concealable, and accessible. I tried a few different heights and angles until settling on exactly what works for me, but there is a spot where the whole grip is above my waistband, and the cant allows the grip and barrel to sort of nest around my pelvis. I don't ha...

I would think this would be personal choice. For me, if I was going to carry like this, it would be palm towards my body. It would be easier to not flag myself vs. the other way where it would be possible that I'd flag my leg or body during the draw. I'll just add, that I'd pretty much never carry ...

I'm guessing that a palm-in oriented negligent discharge would be pointed more at muscle, while a palm-out ND might be pointed at tailbone, lumbar, plumbing, etc. I don't think I'd do either. Corrected version. Yeah, I'm not too crazy about it, either, but I'm recovering from an operation that prev...

I'm righthanded and am going to start carrying a small .380 in the right-hand rear pocket of my jeans. What is the best draw method, palm-in or palm-out?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Anybody have a suggestion for a short-action centerfire cartridge with a long neck in a caliber powerful enough for Whitetail, Fallow, Axis deer and other animals that size.? Would also like to hunt feral hogs with itl Would prefer something from 6.5 up to 308.

thanks for your help,

What have you folks been seeing in your locations as far as ammo availability of 6.5 Creedmoor vs .308 Winchester? I live in Fredericksburg and every place I have looked so far has had much more ,308 than 6.5 Creedmoor and a greater variety of bullet types. Also, most of the 6.5 Creedmore was more e...

Beiruty, For probably no good reason I am prejudiced against anything smaller than .260/6.5 mm for deer and similar-sized animal hunting. I know a lot of people who hunt our small Central Texas whitetail successfully with the .243 Winchester, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I talked to a pro...

Paladin, Thanks for your input and recommendations. Although I have quite a bit of experience with the .308--and that is/was my reason for probably sticking with it--as I get more info from TCHL members, I may be changing my mind and leaning toward the Creedmoor. I really like the idea of better lon...

RPBrown,

Thanks for your input. I'm leaning more and more toward the .308 just because of the ammo availability issue.
