    Rifle Scopes 4.5-14x vs. 6.5-20 Mark 4 for new FN .308

    Re: 4.5-14x vs. 6.5-20 Mark 4 for new FN .308 With the Promotive pricing, these are really tough to beat. If I had not had to opportunity to get in on the group buy for the the SS 5-20x50, I would almost certainly have ended up buying the 6.5-20 in the same configuration you mentioned. The...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9mm for small hands--am I missing any?

    Re: 9mm for small hands--am I missing any? I'm not sure if he has a strict budget in mind, but this will be his first "personally owned weapon" in adulthood. He spent a long time in Germany and Japan and his (German) wife is anti-gun. When he said he needed a gun for bears (not what this is...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9mm for small hands--am I missing any?

    One of my NCOs wants to buy a pistol when we get back from this deployment. The handgun with which he is most familiar is the M9 and he knows it is far from optimal for him. He has relatively small hands and he is a lefty. The first gun that came to mind was the HK P30 since it is completely...

    Looking for an off the shelf rifle.

    Re: Looking for an off the shelf rifle. There are plenty of ready-to-roll Rock River's out there. They have the best factory trigger I've experienced and are very accurate. Depending on the configuration you want, it should not be a problem to find one ready to ship.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns When do you carry?

    Re: When do you carry? Where I can, when I can. I am probably more vulnerable on post than anywhere else.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns CCW Imprinting - no big deal?

    Re: CCW Imprinting - no big deal? I personally do not like printing. I have several carry guns, the smallest being a Kahr P9 Covert, and I vary between guns and holster depending on what I am wearing. I have an advantage in being 6'3 and 250 or so, but in the summer I regularly carry the...

    Photos another lazy dog

    Re: another lazy dog She is beautiful. Whatever the mix is, it needs to be a standardized breed. None of the anxiety issues of a Weim and really, really pretty. My mom called Titus (a buy) "she" for two months because he is so good looking. He's got the instincts to be a field dog, but...

    Suppressors Gayest thing I have ever seen...

    Re: Gayest thing I have ever seen... If this thing was gay it would be better looking. The average gay guy takes a lot better care of himself than the average straight guy, especially once they hit middle age. So for all you non-homo manly men, my advice is to do cardio. Also, my...

    Rifle Scopes SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy Frank is a lot more civil than a lot of forum hosts are. He generally tries to stay above the fray and doesn't go around banning people whenever they disagree with him. I won't say he has never been wrong (I don't really know one way or the other)...

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    Re: 11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations? She is growing up in a nice suburb of Chicago. Her dad is a city guy and hates guns, so I figured I would teach her the skills and let her decide for herself is guns and shooting are such bad things. Fortunately, I have the support of her...

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    Re: 11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations? Value is one of the biggest reasons I decided to go with a CZ. Sure, a Cricket costs a lot less, but after teh first range trip, it is pretty much useless. The CZ is a rifle you can grow into. I will probably just keep the Scout around for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What 1911shoulder holster?

    Re: What 1911shoulder holster? Ditto on the Tanker-style shoulder holster. Some of the supertards who ought never have been issued a pistol have taken to wearing their vertical-carry shoulder holsters inside out (the smooth side of the leather against the body) so their pistol hangs at an...

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    Re: 11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations? Papagallos, I think I may end up with an Ultra Lux for me if I am sufficiently impressed with the Scout. I do think I am going to go with the Scout first because even though she is tall she is really lanky and I would like to have something...

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    Re: 11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations? Perhaps I should buy an adult stock to retrofit to the Scout later on? I gather you can use any 452 stock on the Scout.

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    Re: 11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations? I am really glad to see all the positive responses to the Scout. I had not read anything bad about it to date but I figured I would throw my selection and my rationale out there for everyone to check. I know a scope would be easier for her...

    I F###ING HATE RUGER!!!

    Re: I F###ING HATE RUGER!!! Sorry you couldn't figure it out. The hundreds of thousands of other users must have X-ray vision. In seriousness, don't jump the gun out of frustration. If it shoots well, hold on to it. Yes, it is a hassle to reassemble, but once you figure it out it is...

    11 year-old niece--CZ Scout? Recommendations?

    I didn't get to see my niece on mid-tour leave due to a conflicting obligation, so my sister (her mother) thought it would be good for us to spend some time together when I got back. She suggested (somewhat to my surprise) that I teach her to shoot. Being a large guy, my first .22 was an...
