    Re: My daughters first range day I am realyl glad to see such a sea change in attitude about girls and guns. My dad never taught my sisters to shoot because he thought they wouldn't be interested. So I taught them, and now he gets ticked when I point out thet they are better with a pistol...

    Took the family to Cedar Point, Sandusky Ohio

    Re: Took the family to Cedar Point, Sandusky Ohio Cedar Point is the best! I took proximity to good amusement parks for granted growing up in Muncie, but out west they are very few and very, very far between. If Cedar Point is still open when I get back from deployment, I may have to make a...

    Scars fad or not?

    Re: Scars fad or not? I've never bought into the whole "direct impingement is a horrible system" argument. It is less than ideal for suppression and it does require cleaning, but the weaknesses of teh system are overblown. I think the basic AR platform has acheived such dominance that it...

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

    Re: SnipersHide/SWFA SS HD 5-20x50 GroupBuy A couple great things about being deployed: plenty of cash for toys and no anticipation of their arrival. I won't be seeing any toys until this tour ends one way or the other. I'm happy for all of you who got them. For everyone else, I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FN 5.7 Thoughts?

    Re: FN 5.7 Thoughts? I just realized my post didn't even address animal defense. I agree with the poster who recommended the G20. It is the most versatile and capable handgun in production. Get some DoubleTap 200 or 220 grain loads and call it good.

    .338 federal

    Re: .338 federal Can't say enough good things about the SS 3-9x42. Especially with the package that comes with it right now (Bobro mount, killflash, sunshade and BC flip caps) it is a hell of a deal. That would be all you need on your DPMS. The FFP MilDot reticle would give you hold-over...

    Re: 3 Gun Action Shot That's a Benelli M2 with a Nordic Compnents mag tube. Great pics. I can't wait to get home and get shooting again.

    Photos I have such a great wife.

    Re: I have such a great wife. Shooting = prerequisite for marriage. A guy who loves dogs should not marry a woman who hates them. A woman who wants children should not marry a man who doesn't. Someone who enjoys the outdoors should not marry a couch potato. It is an issue of fundamental...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns My new prized possession...

    Re: My new prized possession... A very nice piece. I'd like to know how well you perceive the porting to work. Congratulations on coming to the Dark Side. Sure, you don't get to blow stuff up as often, but the jobs you can do as an O are pretty awesome in their own right. And it does do...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FN 5.7 Thoughts?

    Re: FN 5.7 Thoughts? If you want the high capacity but a cheaper and more effective round, get the XDm in 9mm. It will cost several hundred fewer dollars and it shoots ammo you can buy at WalMart. It will also deliver a lot more energy on target and, with good hollow-points, expand to...

    Rifle Scopes a word on supersniper

    Re: a word on supersniper At some point you become competition for yourself. The 10x HD is already going to take a hard beating from the 5-20SS, and the mil/mil feature is one of the few "hard" features the HD has going for it. Resolution may indeed be superior, but the benefits of...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver 3-10x or SS 3-9x?

    Re: Weaver 3-10x or SS 3-9x? No experience with that particular Weaver, but the SS 3-9 is awesome. I used it on two different rifles at 200 yards (longest range I could get to in Indiana) and resolution was head and shoulders above the other scopes on the line. It may be a little heavy for...

    Rifle Scopes a word on supersniper

    Re: a word on supersniper Sounds great. Their standard Super Sniper 10x with mil/mil adjustments would be the absolute standard in entry-level tactical optics. As it is, the 1/4" adjustments aren't hurting its claim to the title all that much, but I have seen the mil/mil light and cannot go...

    Rifle Scopes **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM

    Re: **NEW** SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL 37MM I really am not trying to be snide, but I don't understand the allure of the 37mm vs the 44mm objective on a scope with a top mag of 17x. What is the primary motivation to go smaller? Weight? Aesthetics? Is the actual diameter of the objective...

    Re: New for the Remington 700 - the Bolt Lift Installed these on my dad's and uncle's rifles over my mid-tour leave. Both really liked them. Super easy to install, marked improvement in ease of bolt manipulation. Excellent product all around. highly recommended for any Remington 700, no...
