    Trump orders Sessions to ban bump stocks

    "Turn a legal weapon into a machine gun" I hope that's the language they use in the "ban" because last time I checked bump stocks and the like do not make semi autos full auto. I am ganna hope this is a careful choice of language much like what the NRA said after vegas. While everyone else...

    308 Bullet and Powder Selection

    That sounds exactly what I am looking for. This is my first 308 so I would like to find a load that works well without to much work. I can always play with other bullets later on.

    308 Bullet and Powder Selection

    That was also my thinking it's a lot easier to build up some extra pounder in case of a supply pinch. 2-3 years ago when I started loading varget was nearly impossible to find

    308 Bullet and Powder Selection

    Thanks everyone I think you have sold me on varget to start just to keep things simple. I think I'll give the 175s a go. Then maybe experiment with other stuff once I get a baseline load

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    That's actually something I hadn't thought of. I plan on eventually getting a 6.5 so this would work perfectly. Spend money to save money. Perfect

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    Just got my 308 home today. I am trying to tell myself it would be dumb to put this cheap of a gun in an XLR chassis but if it shoots like that I guess there's no reason not to. I need to stop looking at this thread its costing me money, better yet the whole forum:)

    308 Bullet and Powder Selection

    Yah I figured there was not much a reason to stray from Varget, as of now its seems to be fairly easy to find. Thanks for your thoughts I was leaning towards the 175s just because of the 1-10 twist but not really sure how to decide between the two.

    308 Bullet and Powder Selection

    So here is the deal, just picked up a Savage 12fv in 308 on the Cabelas deal. All said and done after the rebate I'll be into it like $250. I have not shot it yet but I am planning and acquiring what I will need to eventually reload. My initial plan was to grab a few different factory offerings...

    Help with a 700p

    Maybe this is a stupid question but long term are you planning on sticking with the hs stock? If not it might not be worth paying that much for bottom metal now when you are just ganna get rid of the stock later. Just a thought

    Any Day Traders Here?

    This is what I tell everyone about the whole marijuana business, the banks won't touch the money. This seems to be something very few people realize. Once I point that out and they realize how much cash has to be laying around the light bulb generally goes off

    Any Day Traders Here?

    I think confining yourself to a set amount is a good idea. As long as your are prepared to lose it all nothing wrong with it. I am doing something similar just not day trading, a bit more long term. Good luck seems like you have the right attitude.

    Any Day Traders Here?

    Just stick it in an index fund or if you want a chance for more upside (with an increase in downside potential) pick stocks and hold longer term. Trying to beat the market is pretty much impossible. Any information you come across is already baked in. The other problem is the transaction costs...

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    I believe the mail in rebate on the header when you search for the 10t is the one for the t-shirt and coozy

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    No comment on how the 10t shoots but I think it depends on what a persons plans are if the 12fv or 10t are the better route. Plan on suppressor 10t if not then FV isn't a negative being not threaded. Not sure the quality of the included rail so if it's junk that might not be a big gain. 12FV...

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    According to the website it runs until Feb 21st, Rebate lasts until march 1st. Not sure if you back order it and it comes in after march 1st if you are stuck. I am planning on picking one up.

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    This forum is terrible for my wallet. If these go under $300 I will probable end up picking one up. Only issue is caliber choice but that's another thread.

    The cheapest of the cheap. What to buy?

    Most people here will likely scoff at this suggestion. But the Cabela's special savage 12fv gets pretty good reviews. They are currently $419.00. They occasionally go on sale and savage periodically offers a $100 dollar rebate. People have reported getting them for under $300. Alternatively you...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Top CC of snipers (title for fun)

    Started with a Ruger LCR then moved to a Shield 9mm. I still carry the LCR from time to time especially in the summer but prefer the shield as my accuracy is far better.

    Looking to buy an inexpensive .223

    If my experience at 300 is any indication then I would second the above comment. You should have no problems with the 69gr bullets out to 400. I went with the 223 as a learning tool and figured when I had access to a longer range and I was starting to be limited by the 223 regardless of the...
