    T/C Patriot suprise

    I found a late model T/C Patriot on GBkr. Before I received it, I researched the reviews and comments. When I received it, I was surprised at the light weight of the stock but I rushed out and started the renewal process. I use easy off oven cleaner to strip the old finish off the wood. Bad...

    My wife needed to shoot a 32 rifle because of a spine problem where she could have no recoil. I purchased a Traditions Crockett 32. After a few trips to the range, accuracy became terrible. I dismantled the rifle and found so many problems that a "simple fix wasn't going to correct them. The...

    At a Rondy in Wyoming, while at the range in competition, a rifle didn't fire after numerous attempts. The range master told the shooter to pace his rifle in front of the firing line on the ground. Being concerned with laying his rifle on the grass, the shooter placed the rifle in a beaded...
