    Sidearms & Scatterguns Defensive Knife for Gov Employee

    I just picked up a Cold Steel Lawman, heavy and great grip to it, 3.5" blade. Very happy with it after my Benchmade came up missing.

    Kid's pediatrician asked about guns in the house

    Re: Kid's pediatrician asked about guns in the house This subject came up with my wife and I just last wk during dr visit. I piped up and answered for her. Later I told her that when these questions are asked the answer is always "No". I don't think she gets it though.

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Gone Bad: Beware of Specialized Dynamics!

    Re: Cerakote Gone Bad: Beware of Specialized Dynamics! Seems to be his MO lately. I had my dealings with him 2 years ago and it was drawn out over 8 months. He has tried to get the communications thing fixed several times by hiring others to work with him but they seem to bail pretty quick...

    Cold Temp Gun Lube?

    Re: Cold Temp Gun Lube? Have read of some using graphite mixed into a paste with rubbing alcohol. Apply, then alcohol evaporates and your coated with graphite.

    Rifle Scopes XPS3-0 vs. 553.A65

    Re: XPS3-0 vs. 553.A65 Agreed with the idea of the tried and true 553. And the location of buttons on the 553 may be an issue with the magnifier in place, but figured since I would probably already have it on and set then it would be ok. Also with the flip away mount it shouldn't be hard to...

    Rifle Scopes XPS3-0 vs. 553.A65

    Debating between these two Eotech sights for my new .50 Beowulf. The xps is an ounce less in weight and just under an inch a half shorter. The location of the buttons I'm indifferent on at the moment, as I haven't used either, but don't think having them on the rear will be a hindrance with the...

    My new 22-250

    Re: My new 22-250 Got sighted in out to 100 yds with the Winchester Silvertips, but won't split hairs till I get my own loads worked up. Quarter sized groups at 100 yds off the "artillery bi pod," probably would have been better off a bench though. Top target was the final round...

    Rifle Scopes 1/4" moa vs. 1/8" moa turrets

    Re: 1/4" moa vs. 1/8" moa turrets My scope has 1/4" adjustments. I've got it dialed at 100 yds to shooting quarters off the bipod, if it was on a bench I think I could manage better. I also got first blood tonight with the new outfit on a baby ground hog, but only saw deer the rest of my...

    Rifle Scopes 1/4" moa vs. 1/8" moa turrets

    Just got a 700 VTR in 22-250 for varmint hunting and wanted to get a set of high turrets for my Nikon Monarch but wasn't sure which size to get. I know the 1/8" moa turrets will give finer adjustments, wanted to hear opinions on which size to go with. Thanks.

    My new 22-250

    Re: My new 22-250 The bi pod may look a bit bigger than it really is, I took that pic from squatting down almost level with the gun. It has 3 extensions, fully closed it is 12" and goes up to 27". It is fine for shooting prone and I also use it for the sitting position. Our land is fairly...

    My new 22-250

    I had my sights set on getting a Remington 700 SPS in .17 Fireball for ground hogs and squirrels; but had my concerns over if it was gonna be enough gun for coyotes. It turned out they didn't have the .17 in stock. I got to looking at the other choices and found the 700 VTR in 22-250. Didn't...
