HUNTING New Hunting Rifle Recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m looking to buy a straight wall rifle for deer season. Was interested in a bolt action but what models do you recommend, and which ones should I avoid? Mossberg, Ruger, Winchester, Savage, CVA, etc. Thank for your input.

General Post Shooting group for kids

Does anyone know of any shooting clubs or groups for kids near peoria? Was thinking of seeing if my kid would be interested in target shooting or something. I don't think she would like trap/skeet shooting at her age.

Any ideas?

Gun Laws Which form to ship handguns through USPS?

1 Upvotes

Per the ATF's own website, it's now legal for the USPS to accept handgun shipments from a non-FFL, so long as it's going to an FFL. Upon getting to the post office though, the only form they have (surprise surprise) has a line at the top saying "this can only be used by manufacturers or dealers of firearms."

Not finding anything but 404s in terms of the forms on either the ISP/USPS/ATF's websites, so I figured I'd ask here. I sold this gun for only $170, so paying $30 or whatever to have an FFL ship it for me seems like a bit of a waste considering that it's already fully packaged and ready to go.
