    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    I really love this forum. Poster brags about what tack drivers his cheap rifles are. Then posts a single two shot group to prove it. :) That's all he has because he throws away his targets so a potential jury doesn't discover what a stone cold sniper he is. :D Believe it or not, all of my...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    See you pulled shot no. 24 a hair. :) Story of my life. If I shoot 5 shot groups, shot no. 5 will inevitably be pulled. Ten shot groups - it will be no. 10, particularly if I've got a really good group going. Don't normally shoot more than ten shot groups, but the one time I was shooting a...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    For those of you that think a 1 MOA rifle at 100 yards is, by definition, a 1 MOA rifle at 500 or 1000 yards, I've got something that will really blow your mind. Sometimes a 1 MOA rifle at 100 yards can be sub MOA at 2-300 yards.:)

    Suppressors I’m indecisive: Nomad 30 or Sandman S, something else?

    Own a Sandman S and a Nomad Ti. Both are great cans, but I shoot the Sandman more. Just like the fact that I can put it on a 10.5" upper and shoot the hell out of it without worrying about damaging the can. And I have a couple of KeyMo mounts so switching between rifles is a snap. And I...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    Not sure what you are saying Conrad. I think the point other posters have made is that just because two different barrels will shoot 1 MOA at 100 yards, it doesn't mean they will both shoot 1 MOA at 600 yards. This may seem counter-intuitive, but I know a couple of NRA High-power shooters who...

    I guess I'm an idiot and need some help...

    OP really merges two separate topics: 1. shouldn't 1 MOA at 100 yards mean 1 MOA at 1000 yards; 2. isn't a 1 MOA rifle that costs $500 just as good as a 1 MOA rifle that costs $5,000. I think both of those questions have been answered by numerous other posters. As anyone who has ever shot out...

    ADVICE ON A USED OPTIC!!

    A couple of suggestions: Eurooptic has demo scopes for sale that are generally indistinguishable from new. Won't be as cheap as a scope you can pick up here in equipment exchange but I believe it comes with a full warranty and you can generally save some money vs. buying brand new. I agree...

    Nightforce ATACR 4-16 x42 or NX8 2.5-20 for 6.5 gasser

    Well, I believe the NX8 is $6-700 cheaper. I bought one because I was able to pick it up for $1575 with a LaRue mount and I've been pretty happy with it. It does have a greater magnification range, which is nice. Glass is very good. Not heavy for what it is. However, eye box is somewhat...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Quality shotgun O/U

    Yeah yeah, us trap shooters are just a bunch of decrepit old men with poor eyesight and slow reflexes who shoot trap because we can't hang with you young, chick magnet sporting clays shooters. In fact trap is so easy you really shouldn't be allowed to use a shotgun at all, just a sling shot and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Quality shotgun O/U

    So, I come at this from a slightly different place since I shoot trap almost exclusively and my experience is with trap guns However, the difference between a trap gun and a sporting clays gun are not all that great. The notion that Berettas rule and Brownings are "lug boxes" (whatever that...

    10.5 LMT Complete rifle 800.00

    Exactly. I'd be happy to find a complete upper for $800.

    Robinson Armament XCR-M...what am I missing?

    I own an early one in 5.56. Also have the 7.63x39 barrel and bolt. Really like the ergonomics and always got pretty good accuracy out of it. Used to shoot it a lot. However, the original trigger was pretty bad. First upgraded alternative resulted in light primer strikes as I recall...

    Anyone have experience with Steiner T-332 or T-432 scopes?

    A quick look at the specs, and it looks like the S has a way better field of view than the T (very similar to the ACOG). Honestly the FOV of the T is kind of disappointing. Also, the S has been discontinued, and two minutes of research leads me to believe it will be tough to find one. But...

    Anyone have experience with Steiner T-332 or T-432 scopes?

    Yes, trying to figure out the difference between S and T series myself. I think the S is military and the T civilian. I saw one comment that the eye box on the S is significantly better. But based on list price the S is WAY more expensive. And I think both use the same Schott glass. Haven't...

    Anyone have experience with Steiner T-332 or T-432 scopes?

    Looking for an optic for a DD M4 upper. Already have an AR pistol with a red dot and 16" rifle with a LPVO. Thinking of putting a 3x or 4x prism optic on this upper. Basically want something that's relatively light, rugged, great glass and sufficiently versatile that I can use for distances...

    First Long range setup - looking for advice

    I'm somewhat hesitant to weigh in here, as there are people on this forum with more long range experience and a lot more ELR experience than me. But as someone who came to precision/long range shooting from primarily shooting AR's and pistols I do have a few words of advice. While there is...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    OP - congrats on your new dog. She sounds like she's going to be a "talker".:). I have a sable girl from West German working lines that I love to death. And Eotech is a solid choice of optic so long as you're mindful of the shorter battery life. Almost zero parallax error, very fast to pick...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Yes, Czech working lines sounds like a good choice. The Czech and DDR dogs tend to be less high drive, but better defensive drive. And they are big boned solid looking dogs. One word of caution, training is a perishable skill. That means that even though the dog comes to you with training...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Don't know much about the S12 - I assume it's an AK47 style shotgun with an detachable magazine. For semi-autos I'm personally fond of the Beretta 1301. Very reliable. Handles well, particularly if you're used to a traditional shotgun. Good trigger. But even if you add an extended tube you...

    Honest Opinion on home defense rifle

    Then I'll be the seventh person when it comes to choosing a dog. Yes, Mals are amazing dogs and have not had their working lines diluted like many other breeds. But they have massive amounts of drive (a good thing in a working dog but makes them tough to live with as a pet). As to German...
