    Pics O' my stick

    Re: Pics O' my stick Nice rifle. Which camo is on your shirt? It looks the same on the rifle. I'd like to do something similar. For the Texas Hill Country, I suspect that something in digital woodland camo or marpat would work well. Again, looking good.

    New here, thought I would share

    Re: New here, thought I would share Welcome to participation. What barrel do you have on your 700 .260? 260 remington, I assume. How does it shoot? A groundhog at 604 yards is not shabby at all.

    Midway USA AICS good choice?

    Re: Midway USA AICS good choice? I didn't know that Midway had the AICS until I looked at the May flyer. Then I realized that the AICS bundle would be the same or less than a Bell & Carlson or McMillan adjustable stock plus bottom metal plus a magazine. And I wouldn't have to deal with...

    Midway USA AICS good choice?

    I've been doing a lot of reading and some asking of questions. It looks like the following AICS at Midway gives me a top quality adjustable stock, detachable magazine bottom metal, and one five round mag for $865. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=661203 Am I missing...

    When is a DPMS LR-308 not .308 ready?

    Re: When is a DPMS LR-308 not .308 ready? I believe the situation is that the ammo dimensions are the same. The Nato chamber is slightly larger than the 308 chamber to allow operation with dirty ammo in a dirty chamber. The Nato rounds have a thicker walled case to allow for the fact that...

    My Colt Sporter Match HBAR - Pre Ban?

    Re: My Colt Sporter Match HBAR - Pre Ban? Thanks for the info, y'all. Needless to say, the NFA would have to be observed on cans, fun triggers, and tube lengths with any bangstick.

    AR15 vs AR10

    Re: AR15 vs AR10 What they said. There are many good choices. I have both 223 and 308 shtf rifles. 24 inches on the 308 is more than you need on a shtf rifle. The 308 can be either an M1A or AR-10. I figure the 308 is my static position defense rifle and the 223 is the backup or for...

    My Colt Sporter Match HBAR - Pre Ban?

    Newbie question. I bought my Colt Sporter Match HBAR Cal .223 Ser MH 037xxx in May, 1992. It does not have a bayonet lug. It does have an A2 flash hider, which I may have put on myself. I don't remember. It came with one or two five round magazines. Would it be a pre-ban or mid-ban or...

    Hunting & Fishing Deer feeders

    Re: Deer feeders Yes, the silver lining is that they are good eating. And any venison from range forage fed deer is going to be leaner than any beef and will not have the additives commercial beef have. And the axis meat is not as far from beef texture-wise and color-wise as whitetail meat...
