    Re: PGM Ultima Ratio Soooo... what does it cost? I've thought these rifles were awesome from the first time I saw one, but until recently I did not think they were imported.

    The New iDATABOOK FOR iPHONES

    Re: The New iDATABOOK FOR iPHONES I think you may be right about the magnets. Maybe metal snaps like this, with two "male" parts to hold the flap closed and two more to hold it open.

    M96 vs TAC 50

    Re: M96 vs TAC 50 I am getting a McMillan because A) they are a well-established company, B) the Tac 50 has been evaluated and adopted by actual military units and C) I prefer the look and feel of a more traditional stock. I think the OP's point about .50 BMG is that it is significantly...

    Great deal on great protien!

    Re: Great deal on great protien! Is there a 24 Hour Fitness in Erbil? I had a memebership there, and while I didn't use it as much as I could/should ahve, they had fantastic equipment.

    We got any swimmers here?

    Re: We got any swimmers here? I was a decent distance swimmer all the way through high school. The Army makes it hard to swim with limited pool availability and awful unit PT, but the Fort Carson pool was close enough to my building to get over there pretty regularly. Since it has been a...

    anyone doing cross fit in the army?

    Re: anyone doing cross fit in the army? I like the concept of Crossfit and have done workouts with my friends who are "disciples," but I mostly stick with traditional lifting and lots of long, slow cardio. I am 6'3, 260 and in good shape. I learned a long time ago that I was never going to...

    Gun Safe Recomendations

    Re: Gun Safe Recomendations I bought three of the fire-resistant Liberty safes (two 20 gun and one 17) at Gander Mountain when I was a 2LT. I did not need all of the space then, but they were on sale and I had a giant moving truck for my first PCS move anyway. I was moving into my first...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper scopes quality ??

    Re: SWFA Super Sniper scopes quality ?? Everyone who owns them says the glass is better than anything else in the price range. A friend of mine who can afford (and owns) a half dozen USO scopes had a SS 10x on this McMillan .50 and said the scope was up to the task for that rifle. SWFA is...

    The New iDATABOOK FOR iPHONES

    Re: The New iDATABOOK FOR iPHONES Awesome. I was telling my parents about the various ballistic programs available for the iThings last night. This will complete the package. Hopefully I will be able to download it on mid-tour and play with it a little bit.

    Where are you guys buying AICS mags?

    Re: Where are you guys buying AICS mags? Alpha types 3&4 are designed for use with the WSM family of cartridges. The 3 hold seven rounds and the 4 holds ten rounds of WSM. They also work with RSUM, if I recall correctly.

    My Fifteen year old Daughters Range Day

    Re: My Fifteen year old Daughters Range Day I hope my kids take to shooting as well as your daughter has. My dad never taught my sisters to shoot because he never figured they would be interested in it. I taught them to, and they both enjoy it a lot. Not all boys are pansies these days. I...

    Suppressors Assisted Opening Knife

    Re: Assisted Opening Knife I have five Kershaws and have given many out as gifts. No regrets or complaints on any of them. The only Kershaw product I did not like was under their Zero Tolerance brand, and I didn't like that one because the handle color was more "Butterscotch Pudding" than...

    Suppressors Is "mil-spec" over rated?

    Re: Is "mil-spec" over rated? The trigger on my M-4 is mil-spec. It sucks. My PVS-14s were mil-spec. They were awesome. Frankly, it depends on the product. In the case of FN, their stuff has a deservedly good reputation, and they were good enough to beat Colt for the M4 contract. If I...

    Gunsmithing Interim FN SPR A1 10 Rd Mag Capability

    Re: Interim FN SPR A1 10 Rd Mag Capability Thanks for doing the write-up on this. Can you post a couple pics of the finished product as a guide? I think I am probably going to end up with CDI bottom metal on my upcoming .360 build, but it might be nice to have one or two of these modded up...

    270 weatherby or 340 weatherby 1000 yard shots

    Re: 270 weatherby or 340 weatherby 1000 yard shots I've only ever shot one Weatherby cartridge (three rounds through a friend's 30-.378) but I would guess the .270 would have a flatter trajectory than the .308. As for scopes, there are a lot of great options out there. If you look around in...

    Rifle Scopes One expensive cardboard box...Thanks Nightforce

    Re: One expensive cardboard box...Thanks Nightforce You know what I hate? Elaborate and horribly non-functional boxes. Like Springfield, with their whole "shooter's kit" in the giant box. Why would I want a hard case that holds a pistol, a crappy holster and a crappy magazine pouch? I...

    Rifle Scopes We no longer sell Premier Heritage riflescopes

    Re: We no longer sell Premier Heritage riflescopes I understand MAP. In the Google age, MAP allows bargans to be struck only if a buyer is willing to call around and put some effort in. Otherwise, whoever turns up cheapest on Froogle will get all the business, and in the end, this can end...
