    Savage or not to Savage?

    I've been curious on this decision as well. Though I'm looking for a short .223 bolt gun for general purpose use (target shooting on the cheap, small critters, etc.) I'm still torn between the R700 AAC 16.5 vs the Savage 10PC. But I'm leaning HEAVILY towards the Remmy. The action would be a...

    One pouch to hold them all - does this even exist?

    Crye Precision just came out with its "Smart Pouch" line, see if that can fit your needs. I know I'll certainly be buying some of their new nylon. Crye Precision

    Rifle Scopes Tally rings compared to 'Tacticals'

    I'm curious about this too, I was planning on using Talley rings instead of going scope base on my Tikka hunting rifle, and would love to hear some experiences.

    Plate Carrier as weight vest?

    I have found it much more comfortable then the commercial weight vests I've tried by far. In my experience the commercial weight vests don't end up feeling as balanced and don't "ride" right. Plus side is to add weight you can use taped up worn out mags in mag pouches filled with sand. There...

    Funniest/dumbest things while enlisted

    A lot of boat stories... Am I the only one that joined the Army to keep my white ass on land?

    Plate Carrier as weight vest?

    I have used my issued armor for PT uses. Now, I plan on getting training plates (non-ballistic), to add weight. It certainly does ride better then the weight vests I've tried. Wearing weight vests for wildland fire qualification and trying out the big box store samples made me stick to a plate...

    Tikka fans

    Free work? ;) Because I have a Tikka waiting on me when I get home so I wouldn't be opposed to sending out the bolt to do some T&E for you, haha.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Replacement Gun

    The 1911s design makes it so when feeding the round has a further "jump" into the chamber then other offerings. Hence the feedway issues. What I mean by maintenance intensive is that if you have a parts breakage at all, its gonna require hand fitting or a trip to the gun smith in most cases...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Replacement Gun

    I love 1911s, however they are not the best for carry purposes. They are maintenance intensive when shot a lot, and are known as the "king of the feedway stoppage" Not to mention a much higher buy in price for one that will run. Lower capacity, more weight.

    Boy do I feel dumb

    Basic training privates take rack M4s (14.5in barrels) out to 300m, with irons. High power shooters take tuned AR15s out to 600yds with no support other then sling, also with irons. Shoot, and upgrade when you can.
