    Repost: Franchi Affinity 3 bolt body, is this right?

    I posted this in the firearms subforum on Sunday and it seemed to get buried pretty quick, so hopefully someone sees it here and can offer some insight. I also still haven't gotten a response from Franchi yet so the rumors of their slow email communication seem to be true. Thanks again for any...

    Franchi Affinity 3 bolt body, is this right?

    I got this Franchi new two weeks ago and have put probably a box of shells through it. Cleaning it after duck hunting this weekend I noticed a small bit of bare metal on the back left end of the bolt body (bottom left in first picture, and top right in second picture). I can't remember if that's...

    Holster options for 3.8" Springfield XDM with tlr-7?

    Looking at mounting a light on my XDM but want to make sure I can find a holster for it first. So far all I have found is C&G holsters, who have both IWB and OWB options. What other options are out there?

    Front sight bedding?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a little advice. I got myself a new CVA Accura MR-X and after shooting a few rounds with the factory sights I decided that I wanted something that would provide a finer aiming point. After a little looking I decided on a Williams Western Precision set up. On the...

    New gun to replace my .243?

    I'm starting to seriously consider selling my Savage Axis in .243 Win and replacing it with something more practical. I have a T3x in .308 Win that is my "western" rifle, but living in Iowa neither can be used during our Firearm deer season (.35 cal minimum). I just feel like the .243 doesn't...

    Blacking out rear sight?

    I'm in the process of learning how to shoot a pistol (SA XDM Elite) well and find myself having a hard time focusing on my front sight due to the white "u" on the back sight. I tried covering it with electrical tape and it helped quite a bit, but that doesn't seem like the most durable solution...

    Looking for new arrows.

    I'm currently shooting Vector HMR 350's cut to 28" with 85 gr ethics inserts and 100 gr points. total arrow weight is right around 506 gr. I'm trying to decide if it would be worth moving to a lighter arrow (425-450gr) and moving to a .204" id (these are .166"). I haven't had any issues with...

    Sig vs. Maven

    So, I'm looking for some new binoculars and found Midway has a few Sig options for nearly 50% off. I was looking at either the Zulu 7 8x42's or Zulu 9 9x45's. I have read that the 9x45's are essentially the same as the Maven B.2, I could get a pair of B.2's for about $750 from someone in my...

    Help me set myself up for success.

    So, I just got myself a new Tikka T3x lite in .308 and was wondering what if any steps I should take to make sure that I am setting myself up for success. I still need to get a scope and mounting hardwere (I am open to suggestions). The only thing that I have done with it so far is run some...

    What would you do?

    So I was recently given somewhere around 100 rounds of .243 handloads by a friend who's father had passed away. once I got them I realized that I have no idea how these are loaded. I personally don't reload and am not sure how comfortable I am shooting ammunition that I don't know anything...

    Colorado grayling?

    Has anyone here had much luck fishing for grayling in Colorado? I had no idea they were even around until last summer when my family went on vacation up north of Steamboat and I was flipping through the fishing regs and found that we were ten minutes from one of the lakes that seems to have a...

    Upgrading from Vortex Diamondback HD 12x50's and/or Diamondback 8x28's

    I'm looking for advice on upgrading from my current binocular set up (Vortex Diamondback HD 12x50 and Diamondback 8x28). I am looking at the Maven B.1 & B.2, Leica Trinovid, and the Zeiss Conquest. I have a Maven CS.1 scope and love it so I assume I'll like the B series even more, but I have...

    Starting to plan for 2021

    So this past fall my dad and I were able to go on our first "western" hunt during Nebraska's rifle season. We wound up choosing NE last year because tags were cheap(ish) and we struck out in the SD Pronghorn draw. We had a great time and dad was able to fill his first big game tag on a decent...

    New Guy from NE Iowa

    Hey guys! I'm new to the site, but have been in Iowa for the past 3 years. I mostly hunt archery whitetail (and finally shot my first buck this year) along with some dove, pheasant, and waterfowl. I have always been interested in western hunting and finally got to go hunt mule deer in Nebraska...
