    260 vs 7 SAUM

    Re: 260 vs 7 SAUM I have gone back and forth on this issue several times. I am sold on the .260 at the 6.5mm cartridge of choice, but the 7 SAUM looks good and the .284 looks like the best of both worlds. I am willing to accept a long barrel if it significantly improves barrel life, and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger Vaquero in .45 ACP?

    Re: Ruger Vaquero in .45 ACP? I don't have a Vaquero but I have a Bisley Balckhawk with interchangeable cylinders. Accuracy with the .45 ACP cylinder was actually very good with my revolver, and the .45 Col heavy loads are nothing to scoff at, either. I know the new Vaqueros are a lighter...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Help me choose a pistol

    Re: Help me choose a pistol I strongly recommen you check out the Springfield XDm. I do not own one (yet) but I put a couple hundred rounds through a friend's and it is the most accurate out of the box striker-fired pistol I've shot. Ergonomics are great, the trigger is excellent and the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need 380 weapon suggestions?

    Re: Need 380 weapon suggestions? Spence, I'd love to see an honest-to-God review of the Diamondback. It looks like a neat little gun, but I have never seen or handled one.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns For the .40 Glock guys

    Re: For the .40 Glock guys I think I am going to pick up a few of the 22 rounders. I love the 33 round 9mm mags but the aftermarket mags leave a bit to be desired IMO. The 22s should be short enough for IPSC and they are a heck of a lot cheaper than buying mags and putting $30 extensions on...

    to go 260 remington, or stick with 308

    Re: to go 260 remington, or stick with 308 I have a .300 Win Mag hunting rifle (a BAR) and about a year ago I was considering getting a .300 for long-range work. I asked about it over on The High Road and Zak Smith laid it out for me: The .260 will match or beat the trajectory of even the...

    Rifle Scopes Mid-range Tactical Scopes

    Re: Mid-range Tactical Scopes Great write-up. After doing my homework on optics for a lightweight "utility" bolt gun, the SS and the PST were on my list. After using my SS 3-9 on leave, I was really glad I went that route. FFP mil/mil is definitely the way to go. On the AAD mount: have...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Military Discount

    Re: Leupold Military Discount Para, I do not think it includes prior service unless you are retired. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure the site says active military, reserve, National Guard and public safety/LE are entitled to the discount.

    Rifle case for nosey neighbors

    Re: Rifle case for nosey neighbors I have a rifle-shaped case that came with a Thompson I bought several years ago. I can put my Carbon 15 with one mag in there and it doesn't feel any heavier than a typical solid-bodied guitar. For me, the primary reason is that I have always had a...

    Rifle Scopes Video Early Look SWFA SSHD 5-20x

    Re: Video Early Look SWFA SSHD 5-20x I was sold at "Super Sniper 5-20x50," but this video sealed the deal on this promo being an occasion for multiple purchases. The internals looked really, really robust. How does the glass compare to the Leupold MK4? I know the Vortex has a good...

    Son's 16th birthday present: WTF do I do?

    Re: Son's 16th birthday present: WTF do I do? I think I'd buy him a more basic 700 and let him build it up from there. He can work to earn money for new parts and gunsmithing, or you can use those things for future presents. In five years, it could be trued up with a custom barrel, target...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper 5-20X50HD

    Re: SWFA Super Sniper 5-20X50HD The cheaper these get, the more they are going to cost me. 5-20 is enough to cover any kind of practical shooting, and a set of worlc class rings "gratis" with each is just too much to resist effectively. This may be the first time I ever sell guns to afford...

    F T/R Competition F/Tac, or maybe F/practical

    Re: F/Tac, or maybe F/practical Sounds like a great set of rules. I shot a .308 Steyr SBS in my first F-Class match. They combined F/TR with unlimited since there were only eight shooters. I placed second of those eight, but the guy who won was shooting a hot-rodded .260 single shot with...
