    Hunting & Fishing Some hate mail for you killers...

    Re: Some hate mail for you killers... Been hunting most of my life, and for the most part, would only shoot what went into the freezer. It could be said that some of the photo's posted might be considered a little harsh to even some long time hunters here and maybe some of the captions...

    Are you tired of wasting time?

    Re: Are you tired of wasting time? Another thing to mention, Brought up by Sean the Nailer, you could easily and for less money, do a hard wire system for those of you who have access to personal land and were interested in making a semi-permanent install. The good thing about hard-wiring is...

    Re: What kind of boots do you wear in the field? Danne +1 on Danner boots. Been wearing them for years, and use them when ever out in the woods, shooting, hunting etc. But I understand the concept of your post. At the end of the day swapping out your boots for a fresh pair of socks and...

    Are you tired of wasting time?

    Re: Are you tired of wasting time? XShot, if you're thinking of roaming around and have the chance to get a 1.2 ghz or 900 mhz type unit you would find it will work much better at going through objects like trees, walls etc. Good luck and if you need any help, let me know. Been doing this for...

    Are you tired of wasting time?

    Re: Are you tired of wasting time? What you are looking for already exists. It really depends how much you want to spend and/or how handy your are in electronics. To start off, one would need to find a video transmitter kit that will be used to transmit video from your target to your...

    Re: tore up muzzle brake. any ideas what happened? What is the caliber of you're rifle? If its 308 the opening of this brake comes from the factory with an opening WAY smaller. As jasonk said, they probably installed the brake true and correct, But did not open the brake for 30 caliber. It...

    Barrel Length Questions

    Re: Barrel Length Questions LoneWolfUSMC, I have listened to a lot of debates about equipment, rifles, scopes, etc. And nothing has summed it up better than that statement: "I have won against better hardware and lost against better shooters." Awesome!

    Re: MD State Police officer is a clown DP425, all states are categorized as one party or two party states when it comes to recording conversations. When I worked in New York, it was a one party state. I could record any conversation of which I was a party of. I could set up a recorder on my...

    Zero on carbine

    Re: Zero on carbine Sorry should have explained it better. Was talking point of aim/point of impact. Up closer to CQB distance we would aim high and farther out distance up to 100yds we would aim lower, both within 3 inches depending on length of barrel and bullet type. Glad you caught that...

    MD State Police officer is a clown

    Re: MD State Police officer is a clown Just to add my 02 cents. The law deals with the audio portion both on the state and federal side. Video would have been fine without the audio, but once he crossed that line the crime was committed. He should have been happy to have gotten a...

    Barrel Length Questions

    Re: Barrel Length Questions A big concern on length was due to mobility and deployment of the rifle. You always give ups FPS when you reduce the length. The trade off has always been use vs. distance vs. caliber, etc. If the rifle is going to be used just as a long range target type then go...

    Zero on carbine

    Re: Zero on carbine We do just the opposite. Since we are a city department it is doubtful we would engage anything beyond 100 yds, more likely 50yds and in. We zero the Eotechs at 50 and know that any shots closer to cqb distance would be 3 inches or less high, and any shot to 100yds would...

    Neighbor/gun rant

    Re: Neighbor/gun rant This sounds exactly like the problem I face on my property in Northern Florida. My range was built several years before the neighbors moved in. Spent a lot of money having a berm built not facing anyone's property. Built several wood platforms and two ranges one for...

    LE Sniper Question....again!

    Re: LE Sniper Question....again! After reading this post once again something has definitely come to my attention that would be a good argument for the work we do as LE snipers. You have two differences of opinion by two well respected members of the hide who know the job backed up by years...

    LE Sniper Question....again!

    Re: LE Sniper Question....again! If I could add my 02 cents. We used to use our own rifles back in the early 1990's. My choice of rifle back then was an LTR with Leupold scope. The reason we opted to use our own rifles was we were actually using rifles confiscated from different arrests...

    Re: 2010 Sniper's Hide Pork'n Swine Portfolio Are you guys shooting them just for sport/eradication? Cause if you know how to season and cook them they make some good eating. We take a couple a year and try to keep them between 60 and 80 lbs. The big ones are usually too tough to enjoy but...
