    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    +1, my thoughts exactly Dealer Information Neither like nor dislike Midway - have done a shit load of business as a dealer and never had any major problems. Sometimes they are the only show in town on some items. However, this new policy smacks me the wrong way, I just don't buy their...

    Sierra Bullets Tour

    I visited back in 1999. Sounds like the same tour. Still have all the "samples" of a bullet's production life from round brass disk to formed bullet. The highlight was going into a room about the size of a two car garage filled with 55 gal drums FULL to BRIM with every caliber of factory...

    Gunsite Plane Crash 4 Dead

    Very sad... Texas Couple Killed in Arizona Plane Crash | NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth Jim and Lisa were members of our club - Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club. While I didn't know them personally, I understand they were very accomplished shooters. Again, condolences to those lost and their family.

    Suppressors If you use a trust.....

    +1 While we're on the subject of lobbying... How about we start lobbying to eliminate suppressors COMPLETELY from the NFA process. Not only good for the consumer (ears/$$$$), manufacturers and dealers, but would probably eliminate 1/3 to 1/2 of BATFE's workload. Someone explain to me...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns IDPA ?'s

    FWIW... I shoot club matches and mainly do it to improve/maintain my CC abilities and have FUN. I've been shooting for several years off/on when its too hot to compete in rifle matches. It's amazing how much I've improved in (action) pistol accuracy. From draw, proper hold, sight picture...

    Sierra 168 gr

    Thanks for the Powder Valley tip. They have the 175 SMKs I've been looking for. No-big-deal, but they are waay behind shipping. Tack 5-6 more days on your normal delivery time.

    Half baked barrel cooling idea

    Not a big fan of introducing water or moisture. Do you have any paintball buds, or access to CO2 tanks? If you want to put a bit more $$ and effort into it. This is what I use on prairie dog hunts. Cools FAST and doesn't leave behind any wet, unless you turn it on full blast and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Talk me out of buying a S&W 500!

    I worked for a big-box hunting/fishing retailer for 4.5yrs. I sold perhaps a dozen. I talked more people out of buying them than I sold. As others have stated, if you want something practical, easier on your hand and $budget$ go with the .460 Probably 90% of the people buying them had no...

    8lb Varget in stock

    Damn. That's a good price. Last 8lbr I paid $160 back in APR 2012. At least it's a sign stocks are coming back and some folks aren't GOUGING.

    Hunting & Fishing My first (not last) prairie dog shoot.

    I was in that area back in the late nineties and had a blast. Curious, what was the average distance of your shots, and how many rounds did you burn per day? cheers, gap

    The foreseeable future of the 300 aac blackout?

    From a cost perspective, start out with a SBR upper, find some factory ammo (sub and regular) and see if the round fits your needs (and scratches that itch). Of course, you know you have to jump through all the ATF minutia for the SBR and/or a can. I think the future is quite secure for...
