    Home protection Rifle

    Re: Home protection Rifle For a casual plinker the s&w on sale at Cabelas right not will be hard to beat. It is actually a pretty good rifle. The OP could spend more and get a better AR but it sounds like he doesn't need a top end rifle. Jim

    A sort-of optics question. Not a scope question

    Re: A sort-of optics question. Not a scope question Greg, thanks for that information. It explains very clearly about using sunglasses. I didn't remember why, but I do remember being told it was not the best choice. As for yellow versus amber I am slightly color blind. I thought amber was...

    What's your most fun rifle?

    Re: What's your most fun rifle? Thanks Kraig. I know Aguila makes good .22 ammo. Their .30 carbine ammo should also be GTG. I would like to shoot it in the next CMP/Garand match at my club. Jim

    What's your most fun rifle?

    Re: What's your most fun rifle? I forgot about my M1 Carbine. Dad bought it back in the '60s, so it is a pre-CMP Winchester. It's probably a DCM rifle. I don't shoot it as much anymore since the surplus ammo dried up. It is a lot of fun to shoot though. Jim

    What's your most fun rifle?

    Re: What's your most fun rifle? I have a Les Baer AR-15 and a DPMS SASS that I really like, but I love my SA Garand. I also have other C&R rifles, but the Garand is special. With the other 2 I almost feel pressure to be sure I shoot small groups. I use my Garand in CMP Garand matches and I...

    Want to reduce brass throw in AR-15.

    Re: Want to reduce brass throw in AR-15. I have a friend who hates chasing brass too. He just lays a towel over the receiver so that it covers the ejection port. The brass drops right there next to him. Jim

    Home protection Rifle

    Re: Home protection Rifle I think I remember seeing S&W MP15s on sale at Cabela's for $699.00. That's due to a grand opening at a new Cabela's in Allen and is also good in the Fort Worth store. I have no idea if that price is also good in all Cabela's. My brother bought one 2 years ago and...
