    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! I hope SWFA doesn't get too discouraged with the vocal minority. I know it's tough for my wife and I in our business sometimes. Just wanted to be sure they knew that more than just the negative gets read by us lurkers...

    Did I make a huge .223 rifle mistake ?

    Re: Did I make a huge .223 rifle mistake ? Absolutely start loading. It really isn't difficult, though it is very important to get right. You can likely find a mentor if you ask around a local club. Components are difficult to find right now, but that makes this the perfect time. You can...

    A thing of beauty is still a joy to behold

    Re: A thing of beauty is still a joy to behold I love airplanes. Grew up on an airport, and went to Oshkosh every year for over 10. Made my living in one for quite awhile. This makes me miss it alot!

    Dillon 550B question...

    Re: Dillon 550B question... You won't regret a 550. That will do a ton, and is easy to work with. I'm guessing you'll load precision ammo on it too once you read more threads and start weighing powder instead of throwing.

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical Rifle New opinions

    Re: Remington 700 SPS Tactical Rifle New opinions Get one. You'll upgrade the stock soon enough, but there are a lot of options used on here. I put mine in a HS stock that is a LTR takeoff. If it doens't shoot well, it's likely me that messed up.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol

    Re: First pistol Buy the one you smile the most about, if it's a range gun. I bought a Rock Island 1911 as my first pistol and it's been fine. I wouldn't trust my life to it, but it hasn't given me a single issue I couldn't blame on me. If you load, 45 is no more expensive than 9. And...

    Looking for a great progressive machine

    Re: Looking for a great progressive machine I have a 550 as a first press. I'm happy with it, but would get a 650 if I'd have loaded before. Or a 1050 if you have the cash and shoot enough. They aren't really tough to learn if you take the time to understand the process when you begin a...

    Your Preferred Primers?

    Re: Your Preferred Primers? Wolf for me. Tried some Federal and CCI, but they cost more and I didn't shoot tighter with them. So, I figured more shooting would help my shooting at least.

    What would YOU sell an AR-10 lower for?

    Re: What would YOU sell an AR-10 lower for? Sell it for what you can get for it. That's what all my stuff is worth, it just seems that it all goes down for me... All gun stuff is better than the racing stuff in cashflow though...

    Pepper Spray for daughter at college?

    Re: Pepper Spray for daughter at college? I'm working on it, but concealed carry isn't an option here. She doesn't shoot, and even if she did, IL is the last state to not offer it. Thanks for the reccomendations. I'm one of those guys that researches the crap out of everything, and this is...

    Pepper Spray for daughter at college?

    Re: Pepper Spray for daughter at college? Thanks ColoradoCop. I'm finding a self defense class around her school. Knowledge will always be more useful than tools. Knowing how to use the right tools can make the difference sometimes. Like concealed carry, you hope the training was all for...

    Are R guns Uppers good?

    Re: Are R guns Uppers good? They used to have really low priced lowers. My buddy bought a few for $50 a couple years ago. The lowers all worked just fine. CS is supposed to be crap. Long threads around the net on that. If they can get you product these days, it will probably be fine.

    Pepper Spray for daughter at college?

    Re: Pepper Spray for daughter at college? Thanks. That's quite a bit of info. Good stuff. I'm going to order some and work on some of that with her before Christmas break is up. And defense classes if we find some she'll do.

    Pepper Spray for daughter at college?

    Re: Pepper Spray for daughter at college? Thanks guys. I'll check the school rules before we get something. Not sure how I missed that first. It's in IL, so concealed carry permit is out. 49 states have them, 1 doesn't... I just moved to Indiana and now know what it's like to not have...

    Best Budget 22lr

    Re: Best Budget 22lr I have a Savage BVTS, and like it. I'm shooting around 2.5" at 100 yards with Federal 510. Not perfect ammo, not perfect rifleman, but decent enough I guess. It was my first new rifle, and I'm happy with it. But if I buy one for my son, it will be a CZ Scout. I don't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns My new M&P Pro

    Re: My new M&P Pro Thanks. They are supposed to be able to hold about 3" at 25 yards, but I know I couldn't do that. I just want to be sure that it will out shoot me for quite some time. And I really like how the M&P feels.
