    M1A Rifle Questions

    Depends on what you want to do with the rifle. The M1a deserves to be shot with the iron sights for a starter. They are really excellent sights. The M14 (M1As daddy) was developed during the 50s and was never intended to be mounted with a scope. The problem is that the scope puts the shooters...

    Saw both a Garand and an M1A which I believe was a Scout with the 18' BARREL.

    M1A Rifle Questions

    If you are patient you should pick up a loaded for $1400 used or $1550 new. I would recommend the loaded over the regular. You get a air gauged National Match Barrel and a better trigger. I would highly recommend the Arms mount as it is the lowest available mount. However I am not sure it will...

    Maggie’s How I almost died while out hiking and shooting today.

    It is very important to identify the species of bear in your area and to take proper precautions. This helpful sign from the forest service should be of great assistance.

    Ya whatever - everybody has to make a living some how right. Got to had it to her as BT Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute and two born to catch him". This ain't porn but it would be good for dieters - totally put me off my food. Think I go get a vodka tonic.

    Range Report .300 win mag new load problem

    I have an El Cheapo brand Chromo and would get similar readings but with good accuracy. Saw a guy with an expensive Chromo and asked him to take some shots with his. Results were better. He was an experienced shooter talking way over my head but the long and short of it was I had my Chromo too...

    I have been shooting the 1911 since I was in the Army in 69. Have owned several. Now I just have one. Wilson Combat CQB. Over and out - end of story. Congrats on your choice. You can't wrong no matter which way you go. The only alteration I have are night sights and a short trigger ( I have...

    Maggie’s Whats the absolute worst conditions you'll go shooting?

    I shoot here in Texas when it get brutally hot. The biggest problem I have is the 300 yard to 600 yard lanes are not under a roof and I keep getting salt in my eyes. Usually quit by Noon or 1:00 Oclock. When it goes down to 96 degrees I can last longer. How hot does it get here>

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting Skills: Sniper vs Competition Shooters

    I think some of those with military experience will agree with me that the decision to practice was made several pay grades above mine. It involved the time, facility and materials. I think it was always assumed we could shoot when the time came. Meanwhile there were other dance cards to punch...

    Tuning VLD's

    I called thier tech support line. The person on the line was a knowledgeable long range shooter. He gave me exactly the info I needed to work up my loads. A starting point and how far to go. You can't do better than that. Give them a call. My infor was specfic to my caliber so I won't share it here.

    going to build an ar-10 and I've never built an ar10/15 before

    That sounds like a capital idea. Get some experience with the operation of the AR first. From experience I can say the first one is the hardest. I might add that I buggered the first one plenty and had do overs. Once you have done one its a lot easier and along the way you will have learned...

    Lets be honest..

    In my humble opinion and based on my personal experience you go to a custom rifle and a high end scope when you need one or when you have to have one. Will it be twice as good? No not really. I can't get a Ferrari and I can afford a custom made rifle. Since its my hobby and my time is not all my...
