    dragunov receiver

    Re: dragunov receiver Even though this site loves to hate 'em, Red Jacket made their name on AK based rifles and are known to be one of the best builders for that particular platform. Their show may be just pure Hollyweird, but they are still a reputable AK shop.

    gasser to 1000

    Re: gasser to 1000 Great point by LoneWolfUSMC. Hunting implies ethics that don't come into play in either target shooting or combat. Crop protection or pest control are one thing. Ethical hunting is something else.

    gasser to 1000

    Re: gasser to 1000 There are several companies out there that guarantee sub-moa with .308 ar platforms and are also well within your price range. I agree with others above, keep your goals high, but be realistic at the same time. If you really want a 338 lapua in AR configuration, Noreen...

    Need to load for BM-59 and LR308 (16")

    I inherited an old Springfield BM-59 and recently got a Bushmaster ORC 16" AR (two days ago). I have not had the chance to shoot either very much (2 rounds from the Springfield to confirm function, 3 from the Bushmaster) but recent reading says there is a possible danger to the BM-59 in using...

    Need to go to the dark side. (Ak47)

    Re: Need to go to the dark side. (Ak47) End of the day, again, you can spend more money but the end product doesn't change much. I like Norinco, they work and don't add to the price to get a name. If money is not a big issue and you want one of the best AK platforms (even though folks here...

    Need to go to the dark side. (Ak47)

    Re: Need to go to the dark side. (Ak47) AKs are good SHTF guns, but for a dependable beater, I like my SKS. IMO, just as good as an AK for less money. Accuracy is not a strong point, mine is acceptable to 200m (about 5"), but the rifle has never failed to function no matter what I drag it...

    AR10 vs Bolt Action

    Re: AR10 vs Bolt Action Accuracy is like speed, once you get beyond a certain point, it starts getting expensive real quick. I tend to agree with the trend of posts, ie: if you want <1/2moa, stick with a bolt gun. If >1/2moa is acceptable, then a semi will work fine and be more versatile to...

    The OMEN AR 300Win Mag

    Re: The OMEN AR 300Win Mag Broker The pic you show (if from the NEMO website) is their "Battle Light 1.0 AR-15 // Standard Retail: $1,706". The other comparable option is "Battle Rifle 1.0 AR-308 // Standard Retail: $2,831". Seems their prices are in line with the competition on comparable...

    The OMEN AR 300Win Mag

    Re: The OMEN AR 300Win Mag Ok, I'm now saving up. I've been looking for years for an AR platform that will take 30-06 and 25-06 without the price of RND or Noreen. Love my Garand and bolt guns in those chamberings, and developing a warm fuzzy for .308 recently with an inherited BM59 and new...

    Garand EBR vs AR

    Re: Garand EBR vs AR frankythefly if I could have found one of those that is what I really wanted. Only thing like it I could find was Noleen Bad News in 338L and RND Edge. Didn't want to pay $4500 plus for a rifle...

    Garand EBR vs AR

    Re: Garand EBR vs AR note: that $1600 includes black teflon barell coat, barell threading for brake, 6-position buttstock, 4-rail front tube, ambi safety, JP adjustable trigger, A-3 upper. All factory options. Good price? Saw pretty much same rifle for sale used for 1250. Worth the extra...

    Garand EBR vs AR

    Re: Garand EBR vs AR well... looks like it's going to be a DPMS LR-308 with some factory add-ons. Local shop says 1600 out the door. Next step will be optics as money allows, probably use my old Bushnell for now. Suggestions? I know you get what you pay for, but after the rifle, money for...

    Garand EBR vs AR

    Re: Garand EBR vs AR Tx Have looked into and probably will get an adjustable gas plug at some point when the garand either gets rebuilt or modified. Keeping the rifle no matter what as it has history in the family. Inogame yup... that's the whole point here. Rifle is not a collectable in...

    Garand EBR vs AR

    Re: Garand EBR vs AR I probably should mention that whatever rifle I wind up with will be used for year-round crop protection (pigs and deer) out to 700yds. Not a lot of rounds fired per trip, but multiple targets are fairly common (8 or more). I understand some folks think changing a...
