    Recce -- Recon Rife Designation

    Re: Recce -- Recon Rife Designation Kinda why I asked. I was hoping the barista would chime in. Like I said, it was more of an inquisitive question about the term more than its purpose. Like we all know, names get thrown around and given legitimacy through the wonderful world of internets...

    DPMS 308 Carbine Buffer Weight

    Re: DPMS 308 Carbine Buffer Weight It would seem that this is a pretty big issue with the LR 308 especially in a carbine. Is there one sure fix? or is finding the buffer/ spring weight just part of the gig for this type of rifle? I've got an 18" DPMS that's getting some work done when I get...

    GAP10/Southwest 175 SMK MV

    Re: GAP10/Southwest 175 SMK MV That's about right for what I've seen for most gassers that are about that length. Like Pusher said: I'd rather have the consistency that you're rifle is displaying than a few hundred FPS, that SD/ ES will give you splendid results at distance and sow very...

    Recce -- Recon Rife Designation

    Re: Recce -- Recon Rife Designation I actually really enjoyed being a scout, the unit that we were in then switched to heavy, and one section got Bradley's, not really a sneaky vehicle. I picked up an E5 slot in an infantry company shortly after that, and got selected to help stand up a new...

    Vietnam War Ended 39 Years Ago Today

    Re: Vietnam War Ended 39 Years Ago Today Coming in a little late, but God bless you guys. The first time I saw my dad cry was at that wall. He looked up his good friend "Monkey" Stewart. I was 14, and I'll never forget it. My brother and his friend were older, and went off on their own...

    Recce -- Recon Rife Designation

    Re: Recce -- Recon Rife Designation Craig, Gunfighter, I couldn't agree more. Did some time in a Scout Platoon and work with them closely to this day. This wasn't intended to be an "is it a good recon rifle?" question, but rather what designates one rifle a "recce" or "recon rifle". The...

    Recce -- Recon Rife Designation

    I was digging around a bit today and started looking at the "recce" type rifles. Through the course of my search I found a very wide variety of rifles with all sorts of differences. I ended up wondering what the specific attributes made a rifle a "recce" or as Wiki calls it "SEAL Recon Rifle"...

    Suppressors Predator Hunting Suppressed

    Hiders, I'm not the usual for writing reviews, and living in a state with out laws favoring suppressors I have to live vicariously through those that do. Hopefully someday the MN lawmakers will see the light like our neighbor to the west and allow responsible gun owners to can their guns...

    Photos Beretta M9

    Re: Beretta M9 I think there is some hate for the M9 due to its "size for caliber". Its a rather large pistol for being a 9mm. I run into people here in the military that either love it or hate it with few in between. I am one of the bunch that think its plenty good for what it does, it's...

    Re: Number of clicks between 500 and 700 yrds This is for MY gun, a 20" remmy shooting 178 amax at about 2570fps, it will not be perfect for YOUR gun, but will get you in the ball park with out dialing .5mil until you hit what ever it is you choose to aim at. 5.8 to 600 7.6 to 700 9.7 to...

    Re: shooting movers Graham, It was just another way of getting the OP's lead down. I don't do it, but the OP is new at movers. Not the best way to take after them, but can be done. C_K

    shooting movers

    Re: shooting movers True, you have to be on the spot dialing back and forth. All this adds up to get out and shoot. And truly, get a chrono and it opens a lot of doors. C_K
