Personal opinion: I am generally afraid of the karambit. Meaning although I'm a self-proclaimed expert at wanting / buying more knives, I steer far clear of the karambit. I do know those who carry one, and have had some training with a karambit, but, in my opinion, the training will never...

Yup - I was just in a gun shop yesterday venturing on my quest for the perfect semi-auto .308 Thanks for the inspiration.

Re: What rings to get? +1 Badger - s o l i d

Re: Savage 110ba vs Armalite AR-30 I can't give you both sides, but I do have the .300 WM Savage 110 BA with a Nightforce scope (get the NF high rings too - you need a lot to clear the front rail - which is already made with a 20 MOA adjustment). I think I'm like you, I wanted to shoot...

Re: British forces replace sidearm to Glock I'd love to hate Glock too, but I've had a few issued, and they just keep kicking. (of course, they won't last on the shelf like a metal gun - and I think they are on Glock version 4 now, with an upgraded spring and guide - so they aren't perfect)...

Re: RAT KNIFE WHO I don't have anything to gain by recommending ESEE. That said, I'd be a fool to say I know it all, so, I'm open to suggestions. I also know that today we are spoiled for good knives out there from knife maker big and small. If I claim any expertise, it would be buying...

Re: RAT KNIFE WHO Ontario may still make the RAT by that name, but the line is now in-house with ESEE. Myself, I can't have too many ESEE knives. I buy direct from ESEE Knives with an LEO account, but the website lists local dealers. http://eseeknives.com/onlinedealers.htm On the Hide, I...

Re: Don't go to Dick's Sporting Goods for any AR-15s. Well, that's too bad, but, I can happily take my money somewhere else. It is still America - at least for a few more years. Shame on Dick's Sporting goods.

Re: .308 lays down the law for me once again Thanks for the story too. Like I needed another reason to long for going out in the woods. And about the A-Max, they are great ammo, and I believe accuracy is the most important variable in deadly hunting rounds anyway. Thanks again!

Re: Knife suggestions I understand your predicament. I have to run where I live - which happens to take me through some orchards, vineyards, and piss poor neighborhoods (not the vineyards you see on TV). I actually quit bicycling becuase all too often I'd get ambushed by one or another...

Re: Vibram five finger shoes I'm an avid/almost daily runner, with past and future marathons (finishes - no chance of Boston Qualifying!). I was very skeptical of the whole minnimalist movement when it started taking form years ago. I figured 'back to nautre' running was good for people who...

Re: knife advice requested I guess my standards a different - never spend more than $100 for a knife, and just stab something with a slightly corroded blade if I ever forget to maintain it for a month or so in salt water. Gerber LMF II - the zombie knife for the practical and thrifty. ***I...

Re: Remington 870 vs Mossberg 590A1 Answer: whichever is loaded and ready... Both are great coices. I have pumped so many rounds through a Mossberg that that's my choice. I have use both through various employers and find both reliable simple and functional - in short, excellent defensive...

Re: Going Long - proposed 300WM build I keep looking back at the Sendero. Nice rifle, especially in 300 WM, an 'all-comers' rifle that can be built for hunting as well as tactical.

Re: Basic M-4 Carbine Can't go wrong. You'll do well with that rifle. The M&P are tops for duty carry and keeping the peace at home.
