    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW Imprinting - no big deal?

    Re: CCW Imprinting - no big deal? Well, after 10 years of carrying concealed anytime I'm out of the house, and everything from a Glock 22, 1911, to a SIG P226, etc. (and I'm a thin guy), nobody has ever noticed. The longer you carry concealed the more you realize that you are the only...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Next Military Combat Pistol Trials

    Re: Next Military Combat Pistol Trials Keep in mind I'm not Mil or even prior mil. But from an outsider's perspective, the only change I could see them making would be to switch over entirely to the M11 and put the existing M9's in Reserve/ Guard units. From what I've read and heard, the...

    Modern iron sighted bolt gun?

    Re: Modern iron sighted bolt gun? Thanks for the recomendations folks! I've got a CZ 455 Lux (.22) for my daughter, and I've got to be honest, I wasn't super impressed with the quality of the wood stock. The patern was nice and all, but it sort of feels "cheap"...I'm not really sure how to...

    Modern iron sighted bolt gun?

    I'm curious if there is a modern bolt action rifle (in .308 Win) that has adjustable iron sights. Ideally I'd like to find one with a traditional wood stock, well made, lightweight, etc. I've seen the new Ruger Gunsight but I'm not crazy about detachable magazines or the laminated stock. If...

    Re: How critical is range finding ability? I thank everyone for your responses. Niles and Nomad, I particularly appreciate the info on use in a hunting environment and tactical matches. That is exactly the kind of info I was hoping for.

    Rifle Scopes How critical is range finding ability?

    How crucial is it that the scope be able to help with range estimation? I'm sure it depends on your intended uses so I'll tell you mine. I have a Remington 700 XCR Compact Tactical (.308 Win with 20" barrel). I'm not high speed, low drag, and I'm new to the long range shooting world. I'm not...

    New bolt...extractor question

    Re: New bolt...extractor question Thanks for the input folks! There seems to be support for doing it either way. That doesn't exactly make my decision any easier. Hahaha. Ackleyfan, could you clarify a little about the factory extractors being safer? I hadn't heard that but I'm still a...

    Movie Theater Worst Movie you ever saw

    Re: Worst Movie you ever saw Some of these "worst" picks are just plain amazing. Open Range was the best western ever made. Office Space wasn't aweful. Sure, it was a long way from my favorite movie but it is a cult classic. Traffic? Traffic wasn't bad at all. And those were just on the...

    New bolt...extractor question

    I recently ordered a new 1-piece bolt for my Remington 700 from Pacific Tool and Gauge. My broken bolt (see story here: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...791#Post2465791) is still being repaired/ replaced by Remington but I know I'll never really trust it so I ordered a spare from...

    16 Page Article about LEOs

    Re: 16 Page Article about LEOs OK, Updated now that I read it. Or nearly all of it anyways. I'm going to have to agree with Kraig and those who said it comes across a little whiny (sp) and over the top. Bowman, I appreciate what you're trying to do, and understand your reason for doing...

    Suppressors Bill Wilson ( Is it worth it? )

    Re: Bill Wilson ( Is it worth it? ) Disclaimer, I've never owned a Wilson. I've heard both good, great, and mediocre about them. I don't know anyone who says they are aweful. Personally, I don't care for baked-on finishes. I much prefer Ionbond or Robar's "blackened stainless treatment"...

    Suppressors Extremely stiff leather holster, thoughts?

    Re: Extremely stiff leather holster, thoughts? The big name leather holster makers (as in high-quality big) recommend against using anything that might soften the leather. And I think they, of all people, would know. ORD already posted what Matt Del Fatti says about it. Here is what Milt...
