      Recoil pad / comb riser for Savage 110L?

      Any recommendations for a product - would like to get a recoil pad / comb riser / cheek pad that would give me a bit longer length of pull and a bit higher cheek weld on my Savage 110 L (left hand). If it matters, this is a 1960s era rifle, not one of the modern ones. Wood stock. I know there...

      Lucky Hunter Today, and Venison Sausage Question

      Got lucky hunting today. This nice buck walked right out in front of my stand. Even better, he did it while there was still plenty of daylight to field dress him and drag him up the hill. Another bit of luck: my shot was a bit high and would have been less than ideal - could have easily been...

      learner long gun for kids

      My son is 8 and my daughter is 5. They're both at about the same level of responsibility, listening to instructions, and following rules. I've been doing some casual shooting with them using my Benjamin-Sheridan .22 pellet gun. The good sides of this: it's quiet and doesn't kick or scare them...

      Anyone have .30-06 go/no-go gages?

      The barrel locking nut on my Savage 110 broke. I re-headspaced it according to a non-standard procedure off of savageshooters.com - but I'd feel better gaging this before I shoot it. If you have the gages and live in Indy/northside, I'd appreciate if you would be willing to meet up and let me...

      Recommend a gunsmith for Savage bolt gun?

      I've got a pre-accutrigger Savage 110 with a heavy trigger and a cracked barrel locking nut. Would appreciate recommendations for any gunsmiths in the area who would are known to be good with Savage rifles. PS - "in the area" - local is Carmel, but anywhere in Central IN would be fine. Also...

      Scope Gurus: parallax question

      I always wanted a left hand bolt gun with a scope in .30-06. No real reason I need one; mostly just a range toy. Might possibly hunt with it some day if Indiana changes the rules, or if I get a chance to hunt out of state. So I picked up a used Savage 110 here on INGO, and got a good deal on a...

      +1 (again!) for Dillon Precision

      Phone conversation today. Me: You know that little button things that keep the cases from falling off the shell plate? Dillon Dude: Yeah Me: I lost one of the ones for my .45 acp set. Dillon Dude: I'll throw a couple-few in the mail for you. The little ones will get away if you drop them. Merry...

      WTT: CCI 200 Large Rifle Primers (lot of 900+)

      I bought these large rifle primers when Winchester primers were in short supply. Previously all my loads and data are based on Winchester primers - now that I can get them again, I'm not interested in re-working all my loads for CCI primers. This was originally a package of 1000 primers. 900...

      WTT: 10mm brass for brass or ammo

      10mm brass for brass or ammo - TRADE PENDING I have about 235 10mm auto cases. Mixed headstamp. I originally purchased a lot of 1000 from a commercial reloader; they believed it to be once-fired but I can't be sure of that. I no longer have a 10mm pistol, so I don't need this brass. Trade...

      Reloading for 9mm Mak? 700x?

      I have some Rainier plated bullets and would like to load me some Mak. I happen to have a lot of AA #5 and 700x laying around. I prefer the 700x if possible because the AA #5 tends to leave unburned powder debris in the gun on low pressure loads (or at least that's been my experience)...

      SB 292 Pre-emption question

      I understand the general concept of pre-emption - to prevent petty tyrants in their own localities from passing bizarre local anti gun laws. Curious though about what laws would be covered - particularly the restrictions on carrying in Indy parks. Would this restriction be lifted if the bill is...

      .22 cal 1911 mags?

      I've got a Marvel 1911 .22 cal conversion that I really like to shoot, and would like to use for steel challenge. Unfortunately it only came with 1 mag. I tried finding them on Midway, but they are: (a) insanely expensive (b) out of stock, no backorder Anyone have any ideas where to get...

      Martial Arts for Kids

      Can anyone recommend a martial arts teacher for my 5 year old son? Location: Carmel (Indy northside, Fishers, Zville would all be OK) He will need a second activity this Summer (already does swimming) and he has expressed some interest. As parents we are especially interested in the...

      WTS: 10mm Colt Stainless Delta Elite

      10mm Colt Stainless Delta Elite - SOLD This is one of the original Delta Elites (not the recent reissue). It is in overall great condition. It does have the typical idiot mark below the slide release (already there when I bought it). I have had some quality gunsmithing work done to this...

      Gun Nuttery in Brown Co/Nashville/Bloomington Area

      The fam and I are going to be there on Monday and Tuesday. Looks like the weather is going to deteriorate on Tuesday. I remember there not being a lot for public ranges in that area - but are there any good gun stores to go shop and drool? Also, what is the name of that science museum for...

      Chain Saw Advice

      I've been using my Dad's chain saw out at the farm, but I have enough need for one around my own house I probably need my own. I do cut some fair sized trees for the wood stove, but also have a fair amount of "landscape maintenance" type work. Dad is a big time believer in spendy tools, so...

      Bureaucratic mindset about self defense

      This went out over the university email system. I thought there were some interesting clues to the bureaucratic mindset about self defense and response to attack. I'm highlighting the stuff that stood out to me. My takes: 1) Within minutes? That's reassuring. Counting reload time, the bad...

      INGO Heaven? Or, the other place?

      OK, I am in a hotel for a convention in California. We all know about the California gun laws, like their own homespun AWB, may-issue, and the lot. On the other hand, the hotel has endless FREE bacon. Please advise.
