    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    As others have said, yes it's possible to become skilled at shooting long range with an AR10. But it's harder than with a bolt gun and requires skill and practice. I shoot a fair amount and I feel like I'm still not there yet. Based more on my AR15 shooting than an AR10 I find a good scope, a...

    best place to buy factory ammo these days? maybe family run?

    I don't chrono. my loads, but I think that's true. And even within a given lot there is more variability in velocity than you would get with something like FGMM. However, for me, probably 80% of my shooting is 200 yards and in. At that distance accuracy has been very good out of a number of...

    best place to buy factory ammo these days? maybe family run?

    Palmetto State Armory has really become my go to place. AAC 77gr OTC sometimes on sale for .50/round. Shipping is usually pretty cheap as well. Yes, it's a little more expensive than PMC, Privi Part., etc. but worth the extra nickel IMHO. Agree SG Ammo is also great to deal with. Used...

    K-Bars Tactical Knives

    Always interesting to see what people post. I had a period 8-10 years ago where I was into Busse knives and have a couple. Really like the Zero Tolerance and own two. Kind of surprised there's so little love for Spyderco. I own a couple, find them easy to carry and kind of like the Spidy...

    Suppressors Any industry reps willing to discuss helping a state get access to suppressors?

    Lived in MA for thirty plus years, so I feel you pain. I remember when your current governor was AG and decided that she could unilaterally reinterpret an existing law to prohibit even those AR's that complied with the federal AWB from being sold in MA. My best advice is to move out of state...

    Recent Experience with LaRue Barrels

    My bet is on the WOA, but I'm sure both will be great uppers. Like you I am a long time LaRue fanboy. Got my first UU kit some 15+ years ago. Prices were great and I believe Mark was still using Douglas (?) barrels, so accuracy was excellent. In those days there were a lot fewer choices...

    Recent Experience with LaRue Barrels

    Holy necro-thread. rphilly - you waited three and half years to resurrect this thread, insult Animal and correct his spelling? Remind me not to get on your bad side. :)

    AR question

    Your PSA lower should work with LMT, LaRue, etc. Things get a little more complicated with AR10's and off the top of my head not sure what lowers an LMT or a LaRue require, so I'll defer to someone else on that one. As far as other calibers, you have a bunch of choices even in the AR15...

    AR-15 Ranking

    Wow, this went south pretty fast. Let's try to get things back on track. If resale is not a issue, I've always been a proponent of building your own lower and buying the upper. This is because building a lower is easy. And it's the part of an AR I'm most likely to want to customize. I shoot...

    AR-15 Ranking

    CK1.0 - I get where you're coming from. An awful lot of people buy an AR and then it sits in their closet gathering dust. Maybe they take it to the range a couple of times a year to do some plinking. That person really doesn't need a $2,000 AR. However, if you shoot a lot you need something...

    AR-15 Ranking

    Unless you plan to shoot suppressed (which OP isn't) piston guns are generally a solution looking for a problem. And this comes from someone who owns a POF P308. I agree they are great rifles with a very good stock trigger and lots of nice features. And mine shoots 1 MOA. However, it is...

    AR-15 Ranking

    Smokeshot, lived in MA for 35 years before moving out west in 2020, so I feel you pain. I was lucky enough while in MA to buy a couple of AR's before a complete ban went into effect.

    AR-15 Ranking

    I tend to buy my uppers and build my lowers for a couple of reasons. First, I shoot left handed, so I want certain things to be ambidextrous - primarily the safety and charging handle. Second, I find the triggers on even some of the more expensive guns (DD, LMT) to be unacceptable so I'm going...

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    Great write up Matt. That one flyer that ruins an otherwise great group is the story of my life. Usually seems to happen on either the first of the last shot. I agree compared to shooting a bolt gun an AR15 is harder and an AR10 is harder still. You seem to be getting some great groups and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    If you think a Browning feels like a 2x4 you'd think my Ljutic swings like a 4x6. :) Yes, trap is different than sporting clays, which is why I thought it important to include my background. I guess my point is that Browning does make a reliable, well built shotgun and how a gun "feels" is...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    Not sure what DeathBefore means by Brownings are "clunkers", but I'm going to respectfully disagree that your only choice under $2,000 is Beretta. Not a sporting clays shooter, but I've been shooting trap for 6-7 years now. Own a Browning Citori (and a Ljutic and a Krieghoff). Citori has run...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns O/U for sporting clays

    You are getting top notch advice. If new, look at the Browning Citori line. I think the Browning 725's will be out of your price range unless you can find something used. And yes, definitely get one with an adjustable comb. And definitely consider buying used. A good quality Browning or...

    JP PCC question

    I own a couple of PCC's which I have shot a bunch of steel challenge matches with. The gun I shoot the most is a cheap Foxtrot Mike. Only upgrade is I swapped in a Geissele trigger and since doing so the gun has run 100%. However, it is not really soft shooting. Still works great for my...

    Watches?

    What a beautiful boy. Grew up with a German Shepherd as a kid and have now had 4 as an adult. Each has been totally unique. I love all dogs, but the GSD is special.

    Watches?

    Like the watch. Love the dog. Even blurry looks like a GSD. I have two and love them to death.
