    Rifle Scopes suggest quality eye pro while behind quality glass

    I was going to say the Smith Aegis Echo. I recently got a pair and I cannot get over how nice they are. They are more or less on a par with my RE glasses they just don't look as classy but I can wear them with my earpro without messing anything up which is nice with large caliber rifles. For...

    Rifle Scopes How much abuse has your Vortex (or really any favourite scope) taken and survived?

    Well, this is, like most of the other threads on here, someone searching for help buying a scope. So if you're sick of those, then I'm sorry, and maybe you shouldn't read this. I'm a Leupold kinda guy, all I've ever used has been Leupolds and Redfields and none of them newer than the early...

    Input on building a 30-06 needed

    If you like the light palma contour then I think that's the ideal contour for your rig. ;) Light palma looks like the next step lighter than the varmint barrel I ordered for my baby and I'm two months into the wait-time smacking myself wishing I'd ordered a lighter contour. Go with the BDL...

    Would anyone actually enforce the law if I made my road a shooting range...Opinions?

    That's kindof what I was looking for. Conclusion: Nope, not going to do it.

    Would anyone actually enforce the law if I made my road a shooting range...Opinions?

    So, I have this rifle range in my front yard where everyone in our family does their fun shooting and in the fall we sight in our rifles there. We have a target set up in the middle of the field with a hill as a backstop and little markers at 25 and 50 yards for pistol and small rifle, and then...

    Re: Suppressor sound reduction by caliber/rifle So, I understand most of that except for the diagram, how is it that the enemy behind you knows where you are? Does that have to do with where the gasses are redirected? On the clubbing, that's...scary I guess, to find that what we're pushing...

    Re: Suppressor sound reduction by caliber/rifle I guess one of the reasons this seems to matter to me sooo much is because I know that sounds in excess of 125 dB can cause hearing damage, immediate hearing damage. I also know that shorter barrel .308 rounds can have muzzle reports in excess...

    Re: Help me gain weight with the right supplements. 1st: Drop the chew, that's not helping at all. 2nd: You don't eat breakfast? That's a huge problem. You should eat as soon as you roll out of bed, then do some activity and then eat some more because if you do work and get your...

    Re: Suppressor sound reduction by caliber/rifle Your reply exemplifies precisely the points that I was trying to make in my original post: Most people can't do this, and many who can only have access to one or two cans and/or firearms. So if everyone who can do this starts compiling a...

    So, I've been looking all over the web and perhaps my google skill aren't what they were and perhaps not. But here's what I'd like: I'm trying to decide if it would be really worth it to start buying cans and I'm looking around at what the actual noise would be. Not noise reduction, actual...

    .30'06 vs .308

    Re: .30'06 vs .308 Not true. Stability has more to do with barrel twist rate and BC coupled with velocity. Guys are pushing 220gr bullets well out to 1500yds with very consistent results. Show me, also, is there a way to estimate impact at the point of impact?
