    Whats worse - Losing the black beret or.......

    Women are treated differently. Period. And God help you if you're counting on a 140 lb female to drag your wounded plate-wearing ass to cover.

    Purchase advice please

    You have a nice collection of high end rifles, and I respect and share your concerns for the future. My thoughrs are these: I would make sure you have plenty of ammo and spare parts for your current holdings along with some reference material for teardown, maintenance, and repair for them .Even...

    Can a .223 do that?

    I almost bought one a year ago for my dad. He wanted a semi 223 so we could share ammo, but like many older guys I know he wasn't a fan of AR15's. The mini 14 seemed like an obvious choice. I'm glad I did my research before buying. You won't find a kind word about its accuracy potential. I wish...

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    At Euro Optics' price and with those features, I would have saved about a grand compared to my 5r with a chassis, timney trigger, bolt knob, and thread job. That stings.

    screws on Mcree coming loose

    Always blue. Never red. There must be an application for red locktite, but I have not encountered it.

    Just ordered a Ruger American Predator!

    I hadn't heard about the predator version. I like the looks of the 308 with the 18" barrel. I'll be curious to see which companies start making stocks for them.

    Thank you

    Agreed. I've learned a ton. But holy shit I need a cheaper hobby.

    AR Scope mounts.

    I have a dnz mount on a carbine with a 3-9 bushnell. I've been very pleased with it, especially for the price.

    rem 700 AAC acurracy

    I've had my 5r for over a year and love it. I dropped it in a McRee chassis with a Timney flat trigger and a bolt knob by PCR. I like the stainless but I'm considering cerakoting it. If you don't dig the stainless on the 5r or the HS stock (which I didn't like at all), you could buy the AAC for...

    .308 chassis build help

    I have a 5r that I put in a Mcree chassis. I'm very happy with it. Those xlr elements look nice also. I would check out one of those 16.5" rem 700 aac-sd's. For short to medium ranges, one of those would be handy as hell in a chassis.

    I want to be a cop Where do i start? LEO replies greatly appreciated

    I wholeheartedly agree. I've had some fun experiences and worked with some great people, but if I had a time machine I would absolutely become a fireman instead. You get all the camaraderie and adrenaline without risking your career every time you put your hands on someone. Political correctness...

    shooting without a rear bag

    I'll give both of these a shot. Thanks for the feedback.

    Stock or Chassis for someone with Gorilla Arms

    I'm 6'3" and use a Mcree with an Ar15 buffer tube and a Magpul CTR with a 1/2" cheek riser and limbsaver recoil pad. The LOP can adjust to fit anyone from a small child to Sasquatch.

    shooting without a rear bag

    The overwhelming majority of my shooting is performed with a bipod and rear bag from a bench or prone. I'm aware that this is a major shortcoming in my marksmanship. Having said that, whenever I dry fire bench or prone with a bipod but without a rear bag, I have no idea how to keep the rifle...

    Maggie’s Ever get the feeling it's time to move on?

    I thought the same thing. I thought he was talking about checking out.

    Best running shoes? What are the best running shoes for the $$$

    Chuck Taylor All Stars. Just kidding. Mizunos have held up good for me. I just ordered some Saucony Ride 7's size 12.5. Try finding that size in-stock at a store. Going to change things up and try some HIIT.

    Rifle Scopes bushnell elite 3.5-21 hdmr reticle failure!!!!

    Four, including the OP and my own. In retrospect, I realize this probably doesn't constitute "frequently" when you consider how many they sell. Then again, not everyone who owns these scopes is an active Hide member, so who knows how often this occurs. Perhaps since I experienced this firsthand...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed Carry: What is your setup?

    J frame in a nylon pocket holster with a Bianchi speed strip. Extremely comfortable, but only 5 shots before a painfully slow reload. I'm strongly considering a S&W shield in 40 cal. Like someone else said, I'm waiting for Glock to put out a single stack subcompact in 9 and 40. Whoever heads...
