    How to pick a good Garand? CMP trip coming up!

    Re: How to pick a good Garand? CMP trip coming up! Darn you guys for bringing this up. I had about beat the fever. My father-in-law (now deceased) and I used to talk about this great old rifle. He went ashore on Omaha Beach on D-Day +1 and came home after VE Day. He wouldn't talk much...

    My New LONG RANGE rifle

    Re: My New LONG RANGE rifle I had one for a long time. Great fun rifle and suprisingly accurate with proper handloads. Be aware that the H&R is not considered able to handle the really hot loads that a Ruger #1 would. Off the top of my head I can't remember what the loading level groups are...

    6.8 spc rem

    Re: 6.8 spc rem I have a 6.8 and I would not hunt with it. It was not designed as a hunting round, although if it was all you had, it would do. I would look at one of the other caliber variants for the AR platform. There are numerous ones available - check out the caliber variant forum over...

    Re: Winchester Wildcat Varmint /Target 22 Rifle You know it is a Russian made rifle? They are definitely shooters though. I have been looking for a good Russian CM-2.

    trainer gun or ammo?

    Re: trainer gun or ammo? I went with the 22 trainer and haven't looked back. I did look at how much reloading consumables have gone up today. It is still cheaper than buying factory quality loads, but it is not cheap by any stretch. In fact, almost double what it was a year ago. The 22 will...

    Re-barrel a real M24. Options?

    Re: Re-barrel a real M24. Options? shadow4, It sure sounds like it. I really dug at him about Remington's "classified" 700SS 5R Mil-Spec and the total blackout of any information - not even a sales brochure. He just laughed. I guess they like all the speculation.

    Re-barrel a real M24. Options?

    Re: Re-barrel a real M24. Options? I have posted this on other forums but since it seems to come up frequently, here is what I found for you guys. In making inquiries about M24SWS I asked the supervisor of the M24 shop to return my call. We visited about M24's then I asked him if he could...

    Mueller 8-32x44 Target - Anybody used one?

    Curious if anybody has tried one of these or ever seen a review? I'm looking for an optic that would be similar to one for a LR centerfire for a 22LR training rifle. Target knobs, side focus etc. Budget is around $300. I have a Nikon 4.5-14 with a 20 MOA R/T base on my CZ 452 but it has...

    What rifle would you recommend?

    Re: What rifle would you recommend? Cooper?? Those things are nearly as expensive as a GAP basic. I get antsy looking at the prices of Annie's and 40X's. Wouldn't mind being able to plunk down nearly $2K on a rimfire though.

    Looking for an opinion: Colt vs LMT

    Re: Looking for an opinion: Colt vs LMT I would choose LMT over Colt right now. Other thought is Rock River. They have a model certified for the DEA that is probably a bit easier on the budget. Investigate lots before buying and remember that no matter what you buy, the parts all come from...
