    Went window shopping today in CT

    Re: Went window shopping today in CT I haven't been to Hoffmans since they opened the new store but I have purchased a lot of firearms there in the past. I know a lot of shooters in CT that are pissed off by the new policy they started. It was a stupid move on their part.

    Re: New guy, and new gun questions no problem You're going to like the rifle. I bought a SPS tactical a while ago in .308 I changed out the stock , bottom metal and trigger but kept the barrel on it. I saw no reason to change it yet. It shoots sub moa. Jim

    Rifle Scopes Introductory Precision Scope Under $500?

    Re: Introductory Precision Scope Under $500? There's a couple of good scopes mentioned already so I won't get into brands. I'll only add that shooting 700 yards it won't come down to FFP, or SFP , or mils it will come down to clarity and resoultion of the glass. Sometimes you're better off...

    Rifle Scopes Did I get a bad scope?

    Re: Did I get a bad scope? Is your scope mounted side ways. What I mean is are you sure it's not the windage on top. Don't laugh I've seen people do it.

    Few questions about first M1A

    Re: Few questions about first M1A You will be able to hit a silhouette target at that distance if that's what you're asking. If you are trying for grouping then I would go with a different configuration other than the scout. It's a nice rifle and if just plinking is your goal. You can't go...

    POF P415

    Re: POF P415 I didn't buy a complete rifle but did purchase on of their uppers a few years ago. It shoots fine with no problems. It's a breeze to keep clean . Fit and finish is top knotch. It's probably one of my favorite AR's that I own. If you do decide to go with the POF I don't think...
