    Rifle Scopes Do you remember your first range session with a really nice scope?

    Mine was Friday with a S&B 5-25. I giggled on the inside while comparing it to the Sightron SIII a buddy had.

    Use of FrogLube question

    I used FL on my rifles until it gummed up an AR that had been sitting in the safe for a few months. It was so bad that I had constant malfunctions that didn't go away until I cleaned it. I switched to FireClean on rifles and still use FL on handguns. I abuse the rifles with FC worse than I...

    Rifle Scopes Ok to use steel base with alum. rings?

    My guess is weight savings. Steel is probably strong enough that you don't actually need all of the material to cross.

    Target is anti gun, please pass the word

    This is merely a REQUEST. Not a ban. It was to quiet the anti gunner crowd. Target Won't Actually Say Anything If You Bring a Gun Into Their Store - The Wire MBandy, I would reach out to Target corporate and have someone put in their place.

    Ear problem from shooting.

    A suppressor would. Too bad they're so taboo. You can't even own one in my state unless you're LEO.

    Ear problem from shooting.

    Indeed they are. I'm not sure if I got a freak pair or what. I tell ya what, though. After my last concussion, noises that weren't so loud are really loud now. I agree that foamies are great. I always double up these days. And Scotharr is right, the decibel system is not linear. A few extra dbs...

    anyone tried one of the new high rate of fire triggers?

    I have one and my JP has less pre-travel. The JP broke instantly, the Hiperfire 24C does not. I never had any light strike issues with the JP either, so that kind of burns up the rest of what the 24C had going for it. However, I do love the flat trigger. I run the 24C without the shoe and it's...

    SCAR16 or LWRC IC SPR 16"

    I agree. Try the SCAR first. It has a weird secondary recoil. The BCG is so heavy it produces a forward lunging recoil after the initial from it slamming backward.

    american defence vs Larue mounts which one do you like and why

    To keep the scope on the same rail. Most ar15/ar10 platforms have the rail on the upper and another one on the handguard. Having it on only the upper is optimal. However, some do have monolithic rails.

    american defence vs Larue mounts which one do you like and why

    I have both LaRue and ADM mounts. The ADM mount is a tool-less tightening adjustment. With that comes less resolution on whether it's tight or not. With a LaRue, you just tighten it by fractions of a turn to get it where you want it. You can't do that with ADM. There have been a few guys that...

    Extreme Cold Bore Shot Problem

    Go Larue for a QD cantilever mount if that's the style of mount you want. But you can try turning the nuts another 1/8 turn on the ADM first if you don't want to spend the money. As for the problem - the mount probably slid to the rear lug while it was in the safe, riding in the car, etc.

    Extreme Cold Bore Shot Problem

    Do you have another scope and mount to try out? I wonder if the ADM mount is sliding on the picatinny. Then after your first shot goes back up against the front lug.

    1st time out with 18" JP LRP07

    I finally made it out to shoot a couple groups with my new rifle. I didn't pick the best of days at 20* and 15mph wind but it was fun. This was only my 3rd time out with a precision rifle and I'm happy with my results. I forgot my rear bag so I used a couple socks balled up on top of my fist...

    Surefire MB762SSAL/RE - Does it add velocity?

    You two may be right. Suppressors are illegal in MN or that would've been my first option. I suppose if I don't have the velocity necessary for 1k+, I will just have to get a new barrel.
