I’m looking to purchase my first hunting rifle and would appreciate some recommendations.
I’m mainly planning to hunt deer and elk, and I’m leaning toward .308, .270. My budget is around $600 to $800 for the rifle. I’ve looked at the Ruger American Gen II Predator and the Mossberg Patriot Walnut, but I’m open to other suggestions. What rifles would you recommend, and why?
Please suggest a good scope to put on it. Ive bought this for hunting purposes. Deer or whatever this can kill🤷🏻♂️ please help ome out
I got this .22LR from my FIL, unsure of what model this is. I'm trying to find a mag that will fit but I don't want to waste my money... I think it may be a Mossberg but I'm not that deep into firearms outside of modern or WWII service weapons so... Help is appreciated.
I have a 1976 Winchester 9422 in excellent condition. The wood is untouched and in excellent condition, the original sight hood is there, the blueing is 90-95% as I would expect for a 50 yr old firearm, and the barrel is clean. It is chambered for .22 S/L/LR. The scope is a period-correct Bushnell 4x Custom .22.
I don't use it at all, received it as partial trade in a transaction. I was wondering what is the estimated value for this firearm in the private sale market.
I'd really like a 22 inch, but there's a good deal on a 20 inch at my local gun store. What do y'all think?
Okay, so let's talk ranch rifles. I love the look. They seem like they'd have the feel of the rifles I grew up shooting while still giving you all the advantages of an AR platform. But they don't seem to be very popular. Why?
And can someone explain why these are some of the only legal AR-style builds in places like California (setting aside whether the laws make sense)? I'm genuinely looking for the legal and practical reasons behind it.
All jokes aside (please spare my sanity and self esteem), I've only trued my rifle with one ammo so far in the couple weeks since I've finished it. Anyways, working on a pocket DOPE card and will add the rest of my rounds into as I get out and confirm them. I'm considering a bit of velcro and attaching it to my buttstock for quick easy reference as well.
The card is black metal business card engraved with xtool F1 ultra.

I am looking for a left handed bolt action 22 rifle with a threaded barrel.
So far I’ve only found the CZ 457 as an option which does look good but looking for other options.
Not looking for a cheap rifle. Looking for something of good quality but MUST have a threaded barrel.
*Note*
I’m happy if you don’t think a threaded barrel is necessary for a 22 rifle. You are allowed to prefer whatever you like. I’m asking SPECIFICALLY for a rifle with a threaded barrel though.
In my impression, 6.5 CM ammo was priced very similar to 308 price, about $0.8. Recently there is another wave of ammo price inflation. 308 is about $1. But 6.5 CM ballooned to $1.4.
I almost pull the trigger to buy a 6.5 CM bolt rifle. At $1.4 price, I do not see myself practice the rifle enough to realize the accuracy of 6.5 CM.
I also saw somewhere on reddit that someone is selling a $1500 precision rifle, because he can no longer afford the inflated price of 6.5 CM. That post alerted me. I got on ammoseek, and was horrified to find that it is true.
What happened? People buying 6.5 like crazy? People abandoning 6.5? Will price come down?
Hey! I recently bought a new RF-15 and had a quick question. The rifle functions normally the bolt locks back on an empty magazine and releases properly but the bolt catch is extremely stiff to press. Even with no magazine inserted, i have to adjust my hands so both are pressing on it to ride it forward. I also have a radical ARP 10.5 and it releases easily with one thumb. Is this normal for a new RF-15 and something that should loosen up with use a good clean and lube, or should I have it looked at? Thanks!
