Re: Iowa shooters check in Is anybody aware of any places to shoot long-range (or semi-long range at least) in the central Iowa area? There's some decent public ranges but they all seem to stop at 100 yards.

Re: Recent CCA Work... Absolutely awesome stuff. That 1911 looks killer! Great to see some locals doing top-notch work.

Re: Iowa shooters check in Another Iowa guy checking in. I live in West Des Moines.

Re: 5r or sps I bought an SPS Varmint/Tactical as a starter rifle. The stock is gawd awful, so I bought a used Bell & Carlson for under $200. Put a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x scope on it (which I LOVE - great value) and a Harris bipod, and I've got a nice shooting gun for a tad over $1700. I'm...

Re: Which 1911 for $1000 I went with a Springfield Loaded LW Operator. Love it so far. Very smooth shooting right out of the box, haven't had a single issue so far, lifetime warranty. Seems like a nice gun.

Re: Which 1911 for $1000 This is just the sort of feedback I was hoping for (OP here). I hadn't looked too closely at STI but I definitely am now. Really liking the looks of the Springfield Lightweight Operator as well, I really like the finish better than the parkerized versions. Anybody...

Re: How much do I love Vortex? ninetode, that kicks ass. Thanks for sharing your experience. Love my Viper PST, great glass for the price.

Re: American sniper Awesome. I just ordered a copy.

Re: What's Your First Gun Related Purchase For 2012 Butler Creek flip caps. And a Triad rear wedge.

Re: Hornady Zombie Maxx Hey, zombies are the "in thing" nowadays, so yeah, great marketing. Weren't these introduced around Halloween? My local store has plenty of boxes of .308 marked down, so I bought a box (I'm only semi-embarrassed). Now if they could just come up with ammo made out of...

Re: my budget 700 build Sweet, good looking build, and fantastic results!

Re: Digital Bad Ass Nice! Looks pretty badass to me.

Re: New for the Remington 700 - the Bolt Lift Awesome idea! I ordered one immediately when I saw this thread.
