    Today's xkcd: Frequency

    For those of you who haven't heard of it, xkcd posts a new cartoon/image/factoid every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Today's is interesting, though it takes a while to load. Thought I'd spread it around. http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/frequency.png 1911fan

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 4.5-27 worth giving up my 5.5-22 NXS?

    Can't speak to the USO, but my Zeiss is on a hunting rifle and gets dinged around occasionally. Still holding zero. My Razor Gen I is on my match gun; I shoot FTR and tac matches with it, and it gets plenty beat on. I've dropped it, kicked it once, slammed it into doghouse windows, and bumped...

    Colorado Range Steel Stolen

    There, that's better. At some point, the criminal members of society need to receive a message that their ways won't be tolerated. Though I'm not in favor of Sharia law at all, a few dead perps or a lot wandering around minus one hand would be a great deterrent. VKC, did you get his plate/info...

    Sniper Jagon

    You'll need a box of grid squares, too. And it's "OpSec" not "OpSpec". 1911fan

    Semi Auto 17 HMR ... is there any options besides Volq?

    Really? I put thousands of rounds through mine, before I foolishly sold it. Had no probelms. 1911fan

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    And what will you do then? I think this is going to get worse, not better. 1911fan

    Rifle Scopes Glass for a .308 n00b!

    A quick trawl through the "Optics and Accessories For Sale" thread found this: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/optics-sale/232153-vortex-viper-pst-6-24x50-ffp-mrad.html Good scope, good price. Also, agree with Notso, spend the money on high-quality rings and bases. The best scope in the...

    Semi Auto 17 HMR ... is there any options besides Volq?

    If you can find them, Ruger used to make a 10/22 Magnum, and Butler Creek a kit for .17HMR conversion. Kit was just a stock and heavy barrel. I built one and it ran great, sold it in a fit of stupidity though. I still have a kit, just looking for a 10/22 Magnum. 1911fan

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    I wouldn't mind having a lifetime supply. As it is, teaching the wife & daughter to shoot, and using a .22 to practice breathing, form, and weak-side shooting have me burning it up at a pretty good rate. That's not counting sage rat trips, which can burn a couple bricks a day. I can't find...

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    I'm a smartass this early in the morning and will admit you did make good points. I keep reading about how there is no shortage of ammunition and we should be able to get what we want, was even in the NRA magazine last month. It's just not happening. 1911fan

    Gunsmithing Educate me on the remington 788 action.

    Was a great action, predecessor to the 700. Short bolt lift and good lockup contributed to an accurate rifle. The one I had in .22-250 killed a bunch of critters over the years. Weakness: The bolt handle. It is brazed or welded onto the body and is known to come off. If you are lucky, it...

    Around here, even the crap has been $50/brick for around a year. When it's available. 1911fan

    I have one box each of Berger 308168T, 30414, and 30408. The 30408 have not been opened, the other two have but I don't think they are missing any- or more than a couple. $40/box FTF Wenatchee area, or will traded for #30426 one for one. Open to trades, but cash is always good. 1911fan

    I feel your pain. I went to Israel, and I was the only one at the Wailing Wall with a harpoon. AND: What's about 10" long, hard, and full of semen, and makes women scream? The sock under my bed. 1911fan

    Somehow this thread became the SHW thread; there isn't a separate one for EW. Most/all of the NCW shooting is at NCW Gun Club, the Vantage matches, Jake's Jubilee Youth Ranch match, and Carl's Camp Patriot match. Watch this thread. And fill out your profile- where are you? 1911fan
