    Thoughts or experience with Timney AR-10 trigger

    What didn't you like about the trigger? Weight of pull? Which Geissele trigger is in your rifle? Just curious. I have a Sig 716 .308 that I needed to put a trigger in. The OE trigger was "MILSPEC". They said it was a 7.5 pound trigger but it measured at 6.5 ponds. Still much too heavy for my...

    Rifle Scopes Browe BCO vs. ACOG

    ........and since this was a BCO vs. ACOG thread I was trying to stay on point, not entering into end of days discussion. But sice you mentioned it, the tritium will last long after all the batteries have been looted. And then eventually everyone will be back to black crosshairs without...

    Rifle Scopes Browe BCO vs. ACOG

    For 355sigfan, I'm not opposed to battery powered optics. But I feel it's good to cover your ass. So having a non-battery option or options in your selection is a good idea. As I said adding to a previous post, I have a couple EOTech's that work well. But if the batteries are dead all you have...

    Rifle Scopes Browe BCO vs. ACOG

    Just a side note. I have a couple EOTech's on other rifles. And they are red "reticles" if you still call them reticles in a holographic site. The adjustable settings are nice with the red color. It can be a little much in some situations. But the green of the ACOG, to me, seems to be less...

    Rifle Scopes Browe BCO vs. ACOG

    I've got the TA11 on my 5.56 RRA Coyote. As samnev says the relief is not bad, but I would like it less on my .308. And as Cobra says you don't want to be depending on batteries when you really need your rifle to work. So I put a non-illuminated variable on my .308. Those are my "go to" rifles...

    I had this really recognizable tiger striped gun stolen. Can you watch for it?

    That's wonderful news to hear. Ask and you shall receive. I bet you've said a prayer or two. Lol. Might want to say another one to keep you from dismembering the Asshole who stole your rifle. My family had a pair of Benelli Super Black Eagles stolen from our house when I was in Junior High...

    Rifle Scopes Am I crazy?

    I'm sure the SWFA IS just as good as the others. The proof is in the pudding. So if you like the flavor, it must be good pudding. Lol. Good glass is a must to be a successful marksman. But you don't have to sell the house to get good glass. I'm sure a lot of the huge price tags are based on...

    Rifle Scopes What's the best scope choice for a 308 win?

    I see they have the vortex PST in a FFP and SFP model. My only concern with FFP is will I be able to see the markings in the reticle subtentions at low magnification. My eyes aren't that bad. Don't wear corrective lenses. But I have a slight stigmatism that can make things a tad fuzzy at times...

    Rifle Scopes What's the best scope choice for a 308 win?

    Voltron- I see they have two models of the SWFA 5-20 HD. One with illuminated reticle and one without. So how good (brightness, clarity, sight picture) is this scope? Is the illuminated reticle necessary to see in lowlight? No pun intended LL. Or does it gather enough light to make dusk shooting...

    Rifle Scopes What's the best scope choice for a 308 win?

    That's a Hell of an idea. Good magnification. But where to buy used scopes you can trust? I was taught not to buy used glass from someone you don't know/trust. Can easily be money wasted.

    Rifle Scopes What's the best scope choice for a 308 win?

    Does anyone agree on a good quality scope brand, that you don't have to mortgage your house in order to afford the magnification you want? I've had and have plenty of good glass. Mostly Leupold's. But also a couple Zeiss and a couple Swarovski's. On my AR-15 platforms I'm running a couple...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns looking for Crossbreed Supertuck Horsehide holster for sig 229 sas

    Hey Bill, I just ordered a Crossbreed MiniTuck on 4-27 for my Sig P938 and I got it last week. So there runnin' about 3 weeks out right now. Damn good holster. Worth the wait. Last year when they were "busy" I waited 12 full weeks and then some for a SuperTuck. Anyhow, I doubt you'll find anyone...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Stripped Lower Assembly - What Gives?

    To Apothus- I've thought of getting a Spikes lower, or a Seekins for a little project fun. But as I don't have a FFL, and the big name stores in my area won't sell just a lower (has to be a complete rifle), how or where do I get a lower? I can't order one. Haven't found a vendor yet that will...

    Sig 716 Accuracy

    I agree. After all the work Sig put into the 716 Patrol, I can't believe they squeezed out such a shit trigger. I know the mile shooters don't like 16" barrels, but it sure seems to work. Only bad thing I found was the trigger. Had to hook a winch to it just to drop the hammer. I've had mine in...

    Windham weaponry SRC .308

    Just a note. The Slidefire stock comes with a letter from the BATF, stating that the stock is considered an accessory. Not a NFA regulated part. So it's completely legal because there are no moving parts and your trigger finger is what actuates the trigger. Cool. But beware. Some states have...
