  1. It is hard to tell how hard they will check. We went in October and did not see anyone getting the wand and the bags check was about 5%. The one bag check I saw was they asked the lady if she any food in her bag. I don't think they look inside. So in October they did not do much of anything. Same with the dixie stampede they did not check anyone as far as what I saw. So it must be a hit and miss thing.
  2. good. i have not been in one of their stores in years. i don't plan on ever going in no matter how good the sale is. i vote with my money and don't waste my money at places that does not think the same way as i do. i do the same way with tv, 99% of most shows are junk and were not made for me.
  3. there are a lots of dirt bags in this world. most get off because the courts don't do their jobs. we need to bring back the chain gang. back in the 60's i use to watch the chain gang cutting the right of way by sling blade in the hot august sun. i knew that i did not want to break the law and end up on the chain gang.
  4. I got a big boy steel 357 mag and it shoots both 357 mag and 38 special with ease. Got a marlin 1894 that will not.
  5. I still watch but the show is getting slow. After time there is not much new things you can do. It has been on to long. Time to wrap it up.
  6. The pawn shops in my area think their guns have gold in them. The prices are high and they don't deal. I just walk out. When you can buy new over pawn shop prices then it time to walk. Also the other items in store are priced the same as guns.
  7. i use ss pin wet for rifle and i do the normal walnut clean with the pistol brass. once a year i will deprime my pistol brass and run them in the ss wet pin system. i use the frankfort arsenal one.
  8. i reload lots of 30-30 for nra cla silhouette matches. so i have seen just about everything a 30-30 brass can do. but i have never split any neck on my brass during reloading or shooting. most of my brass has 10 plus reloads. after the last match i have two cases that had a split in the shoulder area. i trim my brass when needed and once a year i anneal my brass. i run a inside neck brush with lube on it on all my brass before i resize/deprime them. then clean in a ss pin cleaner system. what rifle are you using and what is your load.
  9. I stopped reloading 9 mm years ago because of the price. Same with 5.56.
  10. I use a longer drop tube. Made one out of aluminum. Sometimes I to tap some down by hand too.
  11. Yes they do good work. They also have good prices.
  12. nothing but rain here, all day crap and yesterday too. rain out the match in hoover alabama today. what fun.
  13. Plus one on aa5744. 5744 is the powder for the 45-70.
  14. A scope CZ 455 will work. I carry one as my backup match rifle. The CZ shoots just as good as my Anschutz 1712. Standard class the rifle with scope has to be under 10.2 pounds with a safe trigger. Bull barrel is okay in standard class and you can go a little more than a hunting style rifle stock. In the hunter rifle class the rifle with scope has to be under 8 1/2 pounds with a 2 pound or higher trigger pull. Hunter rifle must have a taper barrel and a hunting type stock. There are other things in both classes concerning scope height and type/size of stock/comb/fore end. Most club matches that I have shot over the years don't get to much upset on the little things. They want the new shooters to grow the sport. But, if you go to a State Match, Regional Match, and/or the Nationals your rifle will be checked. Seen many crying because their rifle did not make the rules during inspection. But to get back to your question a CZ 455 will make a good silhouette rifle. Just get the one with the taper barrel, work the trigger to 2.25 pounds, keep weight under 8.5 pounds, and use the factory stock. You can use a Hunter Rifle in the Standard Rifle class.
  15. get a survey of the lines. then have the current owner fix the problems. it he can not fix the problems that pass the legal test it is time to look at others places to buy. these type of problems don't go away.
  16. i am looking for a new high power silhouette rifle in 7mm-308, used or new. maybe a remington 700 or a tikka.
  17. As with any older and/or used guns that you pickup used, you need to break down and clean. Then you need to a safety/function check making sure the gun is safe and will work as it should.
  18. Merry Christmas to all. I hope all will have a great new year.
  19. I would like to get a box or two to try. They seem to be mini mag with a polymer coating.
  20. what a bunch of fools. we are doom as a nation of free men.
  21. chattanooga rifle club has 100, 200, 300 and 500 yards ranges. but you can only use the 500 yards during matches only.
